Spa adriana's Creative Director Adriana styled our local models on Isla Mujeres mexico off the coast of Cancun.

"My inspiration for our collection comes from the ever changing formations of the seashore, eye and lip colors mimic the shades and shadows of seashells.

Hair's texture is beachy and voluminous waves that emulate the tasseled tresses of young girl's playing in the sand on an August day."

"Lets get together and feel alright" Bob Marley- One Love

Board a boat to snorkel the reefs, Swim with Whale Sharks, go Sport Fishing, anchor up to swim on the Famous North Beach and see the sunset over the bay.

“Lose 2 Inches From Your Waist, Hips or Thighs In 32 Minutes…”

(Non-Invasive Body Sculpting) What were you goals at the beginning of the year? Have you met your goals? Are you moving in the right direction? Is it hard to stay on track?

Losing “stubborn fat” is hard and as you get older -- it just gets harder and harder. You might go to the gym five days a week, sweat on the treadmill for an hour, and see maybe a pound or two drop in a month. Is that really worth your time?

Or… imagine going to a medical facility, laying down, spending 32 minutes relaxing, then getting up and finding out you’ve lost two inches around your waist. Which do you prefer? What if you could keep doing that and losing more and more fat until you looked like you did years ago?

If you have any interest in this and how it works when it comes to inch loss, you should stop what you’re doing and call the office for an

appointment immediately. This new treatment technology uses a special light therapy to trick your mitochondria (in your fat cells) to release their fat content.

If you eat better, drink plenty of water, stay away from sugars, and carbohydrates, this can lead to permanent fat loss without surgery.

Here’s a heads up. If you have tried liposuction in the past - you know that when you “regain the weight” it goes to different places--making your body look distorted and then unfortunately, you’re back to where you started, only worse. With this technology, we don’t destroy your fat cells. What we do is we simply drain the contents of the fat cells so you lose the inches and look good again.

Isla Mujeres was just designated as a Pueblo Magico by the Mexican Tourism council a Magic Place.

Permeable

A Driveway Pavement The Sustainable Way To “Think Green” And Curb Pollution

W

ater pollutants can reveal themselves in several ways.

In rural areas, rain and snow landing on farmland carries fertilizers with them to local sewers and, in due course, our waterways. In urban neighborhoods, which can add up to a large percentage of a community, pavements are the main source of pollution from the water run-off. And what does in fact, reduce run-off pollution, is the very concept behind the installation of a permeable paver system, which is gaining in popularity with commercial developers, municipalities and now, homeowners.

“When pavers are installed, they have small gaps between them,” said David Smith, technical director of the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute. “Because they have the spaces in them, they can store water. Instead of water running off, it gets infiltrated.” On the contrary, asphalt and poured concrete don’t absorb water. Specially designed permeable pavements with small, stone-filled joints between the pavers, allow water to flow into highly porous, open-graded bedding into the base material below where it is filtered.

Respondents to a 2016 Residential Landscape Architects Trends Survey showed a 77% consumer demand for outdoor spaces that are environmentally sustainable, reduce water costs and are low maintenance.

Permeable paved areas are not for everyone, but knowledge regarding these types of solution-based, natural products is good for all of us.

Think “Green” — Choose the proper material and a responsible professional

Cambridge, manufacturers of interlocking concrete pavement systems with ArmorTec®, lists several permeable options among the company’s paver products. And let it be known that an earthfriendly driveway need not spare stylish curb appeal. For example, with a Cambridge Ledgestone Permeable 3-Pc. Design Kit in your contractor’s remedy plan, you’ll have three modular shapes for random placement, eight natural stone colors from which to make a selection, and handsome clefts cast from real bluestone molds.

Combined with economical benef its over a 30-year, potential lifecycle, the result is a win-win for everyone. The Cambridge Research and Development Team also found inspiration from European cities when designing the durable and sustainable Belgium 5-Pc. Design Kit, which also offers adaptability as a “green” solution.

Cambridge offers certif ications as part of workshop-style, educational programs in cooperation with the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute. Contractors, who have earned Cambridge Certif ications, have taken the appropriate courses, passed an exam, and submitted required f ield experience requirements. After which, they can use associated acronyms after their names and professional titles — CCPI equals Certif ied Concrete Paver Installer and PICPS stands for Permeable Interlocking Pavement Specialist. Certif ications can help assure homeowners optimum results when installing eco-friendly pavement driveways in the same way that commercial architects, developers and specif iers look to protect their investments and make positive environmental contributions.

Professional installers are only too willing to present their certif ications to prospective customers. Your best f irst step may be to bring your problematic, run-off condition to any authorized Cambridge distributor. Go to cambridgepavers.com to f ind the locations nearest to you.

Charles H. Gamarekian is the Chairman/ CEO of Cambridge Pavers Inc., manufacturers of Cambridge Pavingstones with ArmorTec®. He is one of the founders and a current board member of the Interlocking Pavement Institute. Mr. Gamarekian is recognized worldwide as an expert in his field and is a frequent speaker on the topic of proper installation of pavingstones and wallstones as well as on the many rewards of Outdoor Lifestyling™ with Cambridge products and outdoor living room components through numerous public, print and broadcast media venues.
