MIND BODY SPIRIT LONG ISLAND 2013 Stress Management & Health Expo
On July 24, 2013, the Long Island Professional Women’s Network (LIPWN) and GEM Media Marketing Productions hosted, The Mind Body Spirit Stress Management & Health Expo LI at Carlyle On The Green at Bethpage State Park, Farmingdale. With over 50+ vendors, exhibitors and sponsors on display, including health and holistic practitioners, the emphasis was on natural and holistic health, personal growth, natural weight loss, nutrition, yoga, massage, spirituality, meditation, bio-feedback, psychic and spiritual advisory, Reiki, Tai Chi, aromatherapy, vegan health, complementary medicine and nutrition, and more. The Expo was dedicated to helping individuals improve their overall health, well-being and QUALITY OF LIFE, with the proceeds benefiting The Maurer Foundation for Breast Health Education on Long Island. Eight Long Island motivational and professional speakers led the discussions, lectures and workshops, with a focus on alternative ways of relieving stress, proper nutrition, and overall wellness. We thank the merchants, businesses and professional service practices of Long Island that helped us to achieve our goal. Special thanks to The Maurer Foundation and our sponsors: Carlyle on the Green, Cedar Knolls Homes, Suffolk Water Connections, Wild by Nature, Cactus Salon & Spa, Leone Homes, In2ition Skin, Raymour & Flanigan, The NY Islanders, DJ Rai Savoy, Event Kings, Camelot Rentals, Evelyn MacDougall and Security Team, The Ghada Girls, Caravan Connection, Chef Barret Beyer, all our generous volunteers, John Hill and 106.1 BLI.

beautyblog sun-kissed and radiant all year long I love the luminance and bronzed glow that can be created with the right cosmetics. Bronzer is a make-up accessory! To get a natural, healthy glow, be sure to use the correct shade and a formula that allows for flawless application.
Apply a liquid or cream bronzer with a foundation brush. A brush will give you even coverage and avoid streaking. Work bronzer into your brush. Gently pat the product into your skin. Highlight the cheekbones with a little on the nose, forehead and jaw line. Liquid body bronzers are great for an all-over body glow. For dry skin, blend a little body moisturizer with your bronzer before you apply. Enjoy your “Miami glow” and sport your sun-kissed look all year long! Affirming your elegance…because it matters. n Bonnie Hamer creativebeautysolutions.com
If you use a liquid foundation, it is best to use a bronzing powder. Powder can set your foundation and help eliminate unwanted shine. When choosing a bronzing powder, make sure it is a “buildable” formula that blends well and layers exquisitely. Select a shade that enhances your skin tone and does not make you look too dark or orange. My bronzer of choice is a powder made for women of all skin types and skin tones. No guesswork required. I recommend your formula consist of skin conditioners and antioxidants to soothe and heal your skin as well as look great. Apply with a kabuki or flat top powder brush. Lightly sweep on the areas where the sun lands on your face. Applying bronzer on these facial features gives you the sun-kissed look you desire. 8
