VASER LIPO IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE HARSH TECHNIQUES OF TRADITIONAL LIPOSUCTION. BASED ON ULTRASOUND TECHNOLOGY, IT'S DESIGNED TO CAREFULLY RESHAPE THE BODY.

High Definition Body Sculpturing – Vaser!

O

ver the past 40 plus years since Liposuction was first introduced for the removal of unwanted localized areas of fat, the techniques and technology have evolved. Cosmetic surgery is forever changing. High definition body sculpting is now available because of recent new technology. With the advent of newer Pulsatile ultrasonic assisted (VASER) and power assisted liposuction in combination with Renuvion/J-Plasma the cosmetic surgeon can truly sculpture the human body.

The surgeon must attempt to achieve the components of the attractive human form. These include symmetry, proportions, curves and certain body ratios.

In our society attractiveness is: the male has muscular definition and a sense of athleticism whereas the female has a more curvaceous appearance.

Because of VASER we can now better accomplish those appearances through lipoplasty.

Routine liposuction is great for debulking and for unrefined body contouring; the introduction of VASER has allowed us to truly

define the anatomical structures.

VASER is the gold standard for high definition body contouring.

The small probes and unique delivery of ultrasonic energy efficiently liquefies fat while preserving and protecting the surrounding tissue and structures.

By utilizing VASER to sculpt and define, combined with fat augmentation to enhance, and utilizing Renuvion for skin tightening, we are now able to offer results previously unobtainable. We can truly accomplish high definition body contouring.

High definition body contouring is a new concept for beautifying the human body through lipoplasty.

These new techniques are not merely improvements on older methods; they are very different.

High definition body contouring is an attempt to achieve the ideal aesthetic human form. The goal is to use the new techniques to reveal the underlying anatomical structures, not to just remove localized fat. The surgeon can use sculpturing techniques to manipulate light and shadows by either removing or adding fat and actually sculpting irregularities to yield a much better result.

Top 5 Most Popular New Year's Resolutions for 2019 Whether your New Year's resolution is to read more books or to spend less time on social media, willpower is the key to keeping it.

T

he New Year is when you think about the past and more importantly, reflect on how you can improve yourself for the upcoming year. It's the time to reflect on the changes you need to make and commit yourself to seeing it through – it's time to make a New Year's Resolution!

Self-improvement, or at least the desire for it, is a goal that is why so many of us make a New Year's Resolution in the first place. Unfortunately only a fraction of us keep to our resolutions, with experts estimating only about 8% commit to the very end. The secret to achieving your resolution is actually the resolution itself.

Here are top 5 most popular New Year’s resolutions for 2019!

1. Improve Your Fitness We all know that regular exercise has more health benefits than anything else out there.

Studies have shown that improving your fitness also improves your mood, mentality and reduces the risk of some cancers, not to mention it keeps you in shape. It’s easier than ever to find the perfect fitness program, many of which don’t require any gym memberships and minimal equipment.

2. Eat Better There’s more than just working out required to get the body you want. It’s all about the combination of eating better and keeping up your fitness. Cutting junky snacks and adding in more wholesome, farm-fresh foods are a great place to start.

3. Learn Something New Have you promised yourself that you'll learn something new this year? Maybe you're looking to take up a new hobby or learn a new language for upcoming travels. With the power of the Internet, it's now possible to be certified in a range of courses.

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." Dr. Seuss

4. Get Out of Debt American credit card debt is nearing its highest point since the Great Recession and could top it in the next year. The average American household has now $8,284 in credit card debt.This is why this is also a popular resolution. Getting out of debt is a great way to get a handle over your finances and increases your borrowing power. You can’t really move forward in life if you are weighed down by debt. The road to financial freedom is a rocky one, but it is definitely manageable with a bit of planning and self-restraint.

5. Travel More There are scientifically backed health benefits of traveling the world.

Mentally, physically and emotionally, you can gain a lot from packing your bags and visiting places you’ve never been.

Why not pick one of your bucket list items and make this your own year’s goal! Make 2019 the year you’ll finally see the world!

THE KING of CALORIES KingCal Kitchen

D

r. Hamed Nouri could be proclaimed as the “King of Calories.” Well, ok, maybe not himself personally.

However, the moniker is aptly named for the business, KingCal Kitchen, he helped create alongside his brother, Sam Nouri. KingCal Kitchen, located in Carmel, is one of Central Indiana’s only meal prep solutions for those looking for fresh, never frozen, simple, quick and nutritious meals for their busy and productive lives.

According to Hamed, the name is more than appropriate for it represents what they’re all about: meals and caloric intake. The meals focus on the full spectrum of calorie needs known as macronutrients, or “macros” for short.

These nutrients are proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

Founded only four years ago, KingCal started as a small venture inside the juice bar area of the LA Fitness in Westfield. This past year Hamed and Sam opened up a bigger location in Carmel. The move was to get beyond the normal gym members they attracted and to expand their foot traffic into a major location.

“We’re the first portion-controlled meal company in the area,” Hamed says.

“At KingCal Kitchen we are all about the quality and freshness of our products, that’s why we do not freeze our meals,” Sam says.“KingCal Meals are fresh, never frozen, and all you need to do is just warm them up in the microwave for two minutes.”

Hamed and Sam, both natives of Iran, bring distinct backgrounds and skillsets to their new enterprise.

A trained pharmacist, Hamed is an avid bodybuilder with more than two decades in the gym and is the CEO of KingCal Kitchen. Sam, a mechanical engineer, serves as president of the business.

It was both brothers who actually came up with the concept for their business. While Hamed practiced the art and science of bodybuilding for many years, it wasn’t until 2013 he entered into an actual competition. It was back in 2015 when the Nouri brothers decided to establish a meal prep company as soon as they got back home from one of Hamed’s bodybuilding competitions. To assist in his preparation, he became more disciplined with his nutrition habits. As part of this regimen he would spend a whole day prepping meals for an entire week. This would include shopping, cooking, portioning, weighing/packing meals and washing the dishes.

ABS O LUT E L IV IN GM AGAZ IN E .COM

21

“Two years of prepping for myself, at the end of the day, I’m very tired,” Hamed says.

By 2015, a weary Hamed had enough of this taxing regimen. He approached Sam about his business idea and after doing some research finding no other company had a similar concept, they moved forward. Six months later, they had their first product of chicken, broccoli and potatoes. Fast forward to today, KingCal Kitchen now provides more than 32 meals of seafood, poultry, beef, vegetables and more.

“When we opened, it was just about serving the bodybuilding community,” Hamed says. “Now our typical clientele are students, single people, stay at home moms or dads, business owners or anyone who is looking to just change their lifestyle and eat healthier.”

Today, the business is a family affair. Mom, Noshin, and dad, Hossein, help out in the business. Since Noshin is famous in the family with her cooking skills, she has a large role in selecting the recipes

and overseeing the cooking in the kitchen. Hossein manages the business and is an advisor to the Nouri brothers.

“Mom is a cooking magician,” Sam says. “Without mom and dad we couldn’t do it.”

Hamed’s favorite meals are the beef and lamb kabobs and saffron chicken. “It takes me back to my childhood because of the taste. It’s as tasty as a Persian meal,” he says.

As for Sam’s choice, he prefers both the steak with brown rice and mushroom, and the salmon with couscous.

Having lived in Iran for their childhood, Hamed and Sam have brought their native culture with them to Indiana. They learned early on the importance of hard work, working in business, and interacting with different cultures.

“Iranians are very interactive,” Hamed says. “I make friends easy and I learned how to socialize

“I calculated it and for us to go out three nights a week for three people it can easily add up to $200 or more,” Sam says. “You can save yourself the five or six hours of prepping and do something else when you have these meals. That’s also about $100 savings in prepping every week.”

“When we opened, it was just about serving the bodybuilding community,” Hamed says. “Now our typical clientele are students, single people, stay at home moms or dads, business owners or anyone who is looking to just change their lifestyle and eat healthier.”

“The benefit is in eating healthy,” Hamed says.

buy these products, such as the meals offered at KingCal Kitchen.

Sam found his transition equally as smooth. “The people here are really nice and welcoming.”

The way Sam sees it, it’s the expense of eating out. Afterall it’s not just himself but his wife and son. “I calculated and for us to go out three nights a week for three people it can easily add up to $200 or more, ” Sam says. “ You can save yourself the five or six hours of prepping and do something else when you have these meals. That’s also about $100 savings in prepping every week.”

In addition to offering meal preparation, KingCal Kitchen also offers customers customized diet plans including weight management, assessments and diet goals. Whether it’s to lose, maintain, or gain weight there is a plan for you.

“It’s my goal to help customers not only with time management but with establishing healthy, simple eating habits,” Hamed says. While not a dietitian, his doctorate in pharmacy along with training in nutrition, anatomy, chemistry, in addition to 22 years of personal bodybuilding experience, gives him enough credibility and knowledge to be able to successfully help his customers, Hamed says. His experience also includes active service as a state judge and show promoter for NPC, “National Physique Committee.”

KingCal Kitchen has officially catered such organizations as the Indy Eleven soccer team, Carmel Swim Club, Blue Horseshoe, NPC Bodybuilding shows and Merrill Lynch among others. The business is a member of the Indiana Grown, a statewide branding initiative of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture. This initiative aims to not only form a clearer designation of which products truly come from Indiana, but also helps Hoosiers easily identify and

“At KingCal Kitchen we are all about the quality and freshness of our products, that’s why we do not freeze our meals,” Sam says. “KingCal Meals are fresh, never frozen, and all you need to do is just warm them up in the microwave for two minutes.”

For Hamed, it’s all about preventing or even delaying illness. For example, eating healthy saves people from spending on expensive medical bills down the road.

“The benefit is in eating healthy,” Hamed says. “We’re investing in our future. We’re investing in our health, for our future.”

Practicing what he preaches, you can find Hamed at the gym preparing for his next bodybuilding competition in March.

Point Blank is the supplement store who provides his supplements and he uses the services of The Recovery Room for his post workout recoveries.

The Ultimate Travel Bucket List for 2019 Wondering where to go in the New Year and what are the most talked about travel spots? We have you covered!

From wildlife safaris in Tanzania to wandering the romantic streets of Paris, this ultimate bucket list has something for every intrepid globe trotter in 2019.

KILIMANJARO, T A N Z A N IA Adventure travel is on the rise for tourists of all age groups.

More and more travelers are seeking to scratch intrepid destinations off of their bucket lists—and with a trip to Tanzania, you’ll get more than just one.

Standing 19,341feet above sea level, Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa. It’s a challenging trek, but hikers can ascend its volcanic summit sans ropes, climbing equipment and even previous experience.

Combine your climb with a safari tour of the Serengeti for a truly adventurous African holiday.

P O N T A D E L G AD A , PORTUGAL Porto and Lisbon may have gotten all of the attention in Portugal in the past, but in 2019, the Azores, and its capital, Ponta Delgada on São Miguel Island, will take center stage. While it’s also home to museums, forts and buildings dating back to the 16th century, travelers seeking an active, outdoor holiday will especially love the “Green Island.” Plan a trip for late spring/early summer. April and May are great for whale watching, and June has ideal temperatures (and little rain) for hiking and mountain biking through its breathtaking landscapes and natural wonders, like the thermal pools in the Furnas Valley, the volcanic crater lake Lagoa do Fogo, and the Sete Cidades Lake, one of the seven natural wonders of Portugal.

BALI,INDONESIA Bali is on top of travel destination lists year after year—for good reason.

The Indonesian island is breathtaking and gives visitors equal opportunities to explore and relax. From its ancient temples to its mind-blowing beaches, Bali’s cultural attractions and natural charm—not to mention its food—draw millions of international tourists each year, with no sign of slowing down.

KAUAI,HAWAII Maui has made “must visit” lists, but Kauai will have a moment in 2019.

The more adventurous and rugged of the two islands, it’s also lush, quiet and rural—and popular for what it’s lacking: high-rise resorts and overcommercialization. You will love it for its peacefulness and wide variety of landscapes: tropical rainforest covers much of the island (it’s nicknamed “the Garden Isle”), jagged cliffs and soft, white-sand beaches. Must-see sights include the famous Na Pali Coast, accessible by an adventurous hike or boat ride, and Waimea Canyon, also known as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific.”

PARIS,FRANCE There’s a reason why the saying “Paris is always a good idea” exists. The City of Light is undoubtedly a popular destination already—as one of the most popular tourist cities in the world, it’s a frequent stop on any honeymoon, or family vacation, or backpacker’s trip through Europe, and travel data suggests it's getting even more popular each year.

From the Eiffel Tower to the Louvre, travelers go for the art, culture, history and the food. But there is more reasons why travelers will be flocking there in 2019: new cocktail bars like Bar Josephine, the luxe spa treatments at Institute Darphin, the reopening of Albert–Kahn Departmental Museum and its incredible gardens, and the chance to dine at famous Arpège, which recently made the World’s 50 Best Restaurant List.

LAMBORGHINI URUS–LOOKS LIKE AN SUV, DRIVES LIKE A SUPERCAR!

The legendary Italian brand, Lamborghini, makes history and introduces the dawn of a new era with the all-new Urus SUV.

W

hen you think of a sports car, what is the first brand that comes into your mind? Most likely, Lamborghini!

From seeing them on the road, hearing about them in popular songs or just dreaming about your future car.

While you’re still thinking about types of cars and makes, what brand do you think about when you picture a family car or a sport utility vehicle? You’re not likely still thinking about Lamborghini. Think again.

36

ABS O LUT E L IV IN GM AGAZ IN E .COM

The new Lamborghini Urus should change your mind on this. The recently launched dynamic, fiveseater SUV has changed the game for automakers: the Urus has maintained the finesse of a sports car while incorporating the DNA of an SUV. The positioning of the vehicle is to portray strength, performance and capability that remain true to the heart of all Lamborghini products, while incorporating the car into everyday life.

This proves accurate, as the original definition of urus means “ox.” It is fitting, as the vehicle is powerful, sturdy and larger than the other vehicles in the Lamborghini herd.

The new SUV also reflects that of its predecessor, the LM002, by showcasing a powerful dome on the hood of the vehicle with strong design cuts throughout the shape, including the renowned line art from Marcello Gandini on the frameless doors.

The sturdy aluminum and fiberglassbased LM002 can be found in the company’s Masterpiece Collection.

And that can also be seen in its glorious V-12 engine, capable of climbing a slope of 120 per cent in all-wheel-drive action —while still maintaining a maximum super-speed of 130 miles per hour.

Like all car buyers of today, if you’re going to own one of these distinct, high-end vehicles, you want to feel not only fashionable on and off the road, but also safe with family and friends, all while trying to impress them in the new ride. The starting price is about $232,000, with additional fees for personalization.

The Urus has mixed Italian sports car heritage with elegance, remaining true to all Lamborghini vehicles by incorporating the brand’s signature “Y” silhouette from the front to the rear. While sleek in design with a coupe-like feel, notes of power and strength exude from the low-sitting SUV. The car also features intrinsic, sharp crosslines on both sides, showcasing both sport and class.

Additional elements include fourwheel steering and a four-wheeldrive package. These performanceinducing functions allow for roll stabilization, air suspension and ample rear torque, all atop carbon ceramic brakes, with mixed tires sitting at 23 inches. The design of the SUV allows the Urus to provide the best weight-to-power ratio among its competitors.

Underneath the hood, the Urus hosts a bi-turbo V-8 engine and an eightgear transmission. These allow for ABS O LUT E L IV IN GM AGAZ IN E .COM

drivers to handle the car on the road, on the track or on any terrain, thanks to the four-wheel-drive functionality.

The vehicle also hosts the renowned Lamborghini ANIMA (Adaptive Network Intelligent Management) Selector, which allows for changes in driving dynamics while operating the car. One is STRADA for comfort; the next is SPORT for a dynamic and exhilarating drive; and CORSA allows for advanced and performance-style driving. The additional features in the Urus consist of three off-road functions: NEVE for slick-surface performance; TERRA for off-roading; and SABBIA for sand surfaces.

On the inside of the Urus, the car features three thin film transistor (TFT) screens, elevating the vehicle’s technology to the next level. The three screens are used for driver controls, infotainment and comfort features. Through Lamborghini’s customization options, the internal lighting systems and materials selections can be adjusted to match each personal desire for the car, making it the widest range of selections on offer for the brand.

The Urus has paved the way for the SUV market by creating enhanced features for these types of vehicles, providing bold statements in sports car elegance and performance.

20th Century - Luxury Sofas

5 of The Best – 20th Century Sofa Shapes You Need to Know Sofa is one of the most important purchases for your home. It’s the main focal point of a living room – the one space in your home, which most commonly serves as a place to both relax and entertain, to gather and to spend time in.

Forte Channeled Sofa cb2.com

TUXEDO SOFA With its fitted, square and even-height arm and backrests, a tuxedo is an eternally sophisticated silhouette and the equivalent of a tailored suit to the furniture world. Proportions and precise upholstery are everything and give it the refined appeal it has become known for. Characterized by clean lines, the style is one of the slickest you could choose and instead of drawing attention due to elaborate features; it draws attention thanks to its strong visual aesthetic. Its inherently structured form encourages the sitter to sit upright making it perfect for a formal furniture arrangement.

LAWSON SOFA Fitted, scroll arms, plush cushions and masses of space make the Lawson sofa a comfortable addition to a room. Its generous proportions make it ideal for lounging and many homeowners prefer its smart-casual look.

ABS O LUT E L IV IN GM AGAZ IN E .COM

ART DECO SOFA This sofa is a fine example of Art Deco’s use of curved lines and flattened planes. Piped edges keep the style crisp whilst its simple block feet are significant of the movement’s divergence from ornamental to streamlined motifs. This is a statement sofa, which is best used in a formal space –probably not suitable for a space destined for lounging. Due to its curved ends, a sofa like this does require a larger footprint so this should be kept in mind when arranging a furniture arrangement.

MID-CENTURY MODERN SOFA This design has become a favorite in recent years. Mid-century Modern replaced traditional ornamentation for streamlined shapes.

Loved for their playful but forward-thinking style, mid-century sofas are recognizable by shallow button tufting, blocky silhouette and simple frame. The addition of bolster end cushions gives it that identifiable retro aesthetic.

Monroe Mid - century Sofa westelm.com

CORNER SOFA A corner sofa is a main stay of modern interiors, which was designed not only for comfort but also for flexibility. Thanks to many composite elements –left-facing chaise, right-facing chaise, open-ended, corner, armless –the style can be customized to suit any space. Typically consisting of at least two sections, a corner sofa’s elements are placed together to elongate and wrap around a corner usually with a minimum of a 90-degree join. Chaise longues and closedend pieces can also be included to keep the design self-contained.

A barely-there structure (which usually means slender metal legs) is one of the modern design’s defining features although built-in designs are popular too.
