Hello, timetospa readers!
The other day, a friend emailed me some studies that culminated in a very obvious conclusion:
“Wealth does not guarantee happiness.” After basic needs are met, money does little, if anything
(besides providing some fleeting pleasure), to make the recipient happier. While I am sure none of us
are really surprised by this information, the study piqued my interest.

I have been involved in the spa industry now for twenty years, and I see it as being a business that
is all about happiness. Besides indulgence and all the “ooh la la” that goes with having a spa treatment or the like, there is something more that the spa experience provides: tranquility, stillness, a
chance to exhale, and perhaps most importantly, the ability to be satisfied with who we are right now.
According to this research, in today’s stressful world, social anxiety is at its peak, minimizing our
moment-by-moment satisfaction and therefore our overall happiness. Read our article on page 8 to
discover how best to live happiness, as opposed to finding it in the ethereal future. We are sure it will
make you smile!

We have the technology to define it.
NEW ! ELEMIS PRO-COLLAGEN ANTI-AGEING BODY CARE. Keeps you young from
the ground up. Anti-aging shouldn’t be exclusively for the face. That’s why the Elemis research
and development team has been feverishly working on a new range that cares for the body.
We are happy to launch two products that will make both you and your body feel nourished
by the kiss of youth. And you have. Both these products are clinically trialed to help reduce
the signs of aging on the body.

This groundbreaking product helps smooth out crepey skin texture, leaving the body feeling deeply hydrated, with an
illuminating youthful radiance.
A network of proteins, plus Micro-Lattice Technology, ensures a mesh-like support system is provided over sagging skin
whilst helping restore cell cohesion. The lipidic base, which produces the lattice-effect micro-tension, offers “movement
with tension” to the skin so the overall result is just like wearing a pair of tights: you can distinctly feel the body’s
improved contour. 200ml $162
timetospa skincare panel says: “Simply gorgeous. Slides onto the skin imparting a glistening smoothness that lasts
all day and a light aroma that lingers for hours. Worth every penny.”
Elemis Pro-Collagen Hand and Nail Cream
Revolutionary Micro-Lattice Technology provides a support system for the skin, the scientific equivalent to a mesh
body stocking providing micro-tension over slackening hands.
Combined with powerful antioxidants to protect against external drying factors, this fabulous product ensures
targeted intervention from the first signs of aging through to mature skin. 100ml $56
timetospa skincare panel says: “Smells scrumptious – sweet, like bergamot and ylang-ylang. Feels rich, creamy – a feast for the hands.”

HAPPINESS
IS JUST A MUSCLE.
WORK IT OUT!
You have it all. You are successful, gorgeous and
talented. Yet, every now and then dissatisfaction
creeps in. You complain. The fact is this: you know
you are fortunate, but you just aren’t feeling it. You
think that maybe you are missing something.
EUREKA.You are.

Believe it or not, many people share this sentiment. The good news is, now, more than ever,
there are effective measures to achieve that
highly coveted and somewhat mysterious state:
happiness supremus.
HOW IS HAPPINESS ACHIEVED?
How is it done? Well, certainly one does not
have to be a Buddha or Taoist Master Lao Tse to
make strides in the right direction, although that
wouldn’t be a bad thing. But one step at a time!
After all, it is quite possible that it is healthy to
experience some discontentment, as it keeps us
growing. If we were always ecstatic, happiness
itself would lose its perky luster. Humankind
experiencing levels or degrees of unhappiness is
nothing new. It persists through high times and
low. In fact, there is evidence that even if your
personal economic status is in good shape, you
can still remain unfulfilled. Richard Easterlin,
professor of economics at the University of
Southern California, says that at all levels of
income, consumers think they need about 20
percent more to be happy. It’s a never-ending
cycle. So should we just abandon our pursuit of
happiness? Yes.
Of course we don’t really mean that, at least not
in the literal sense. Let’s look at it from a different
perspective. If one of the keys to happiness is a
feeling of empowerment, be it through work or a
personal growth opportunity, just imagine how
many opportunities there are for getting happy!
The key is to empower oneself and, more often
than not, this is simpler than it sounds. Why?
Because being happy is the most natural way of
being. Happiness is what we yearn for every
waking minute, whether we admit it or not.
Kings and thieves are connected at least in this
one instance. Of course, it is easier said than
done when circumstances hurl themselves at
you out of the blue: the car breaks down, your
skin breaks out, you put on 10 pounds, your
partner leaves, yada yada yada. However,
perhaps, just perhaps, circumstantial events
have nothing to do with real happiness after all.
Maybe it’s much simpler than that.
Instead, consider it has everything to do with our
perspective, values and our ability to be at
peace with who we are. There are, of course,
methods to achieving this: setting goals and
working toward the fulfillment of dreams is one
way we transform from the proverbial cocoon
into the beautiful butterfly. Perhaps this is why
we hear the loud echo of deep satisfaction after
setting up the wish list and then doing the
activities, whether they range from shopping for
broccoli to dribbling a basketball. But happiness
is not just about achievements. We all know of
“go getters” who spend so much time focusing
on the destination that they can’t remember, let
alone love, the journey.
It seems happiness is about the ability to balance
the here and now with the vision of what we want.
Here and now is where happiness happens in the
present tense. It is a feeling of oneness with
what is going on. Lao Tse describes it as the
Way (Tao) in the ancient philosophical work, the
Tao Te Ching. To achieve contentment, one
must live according to the Way, which flows
around circumstances, like a river flows around
a rock. Living in harmony with nature, you will
never be stopped by circumstances; you simply
work with them.
Bhutan
Who is happy? The World Happiness Database
named the Danes, the Swiss and the Maltese
the happiest cultures. And then there’s Bhutan.
Located between India and the Tibetan region of
China, Bhutan puts a premium on happiness.
So much so that the King of Bhutan, His
Majesty, Jigme Singye Wangchuk, founded the
philosophy and formula of “Gross National
Happiness.” Part of the philosophy stems from
the idea that shared spiritual values are the key
to happiness. In Bhutan, this philosophy is used
as the fundamental political thought and
objective in governance. When considering the
Gross National Product and enhancing material
wealth, government officials always consider
what its effect will be on Bhutan’s happiness
before approving anything. Due to this emphasis
on happiness, many quirky rules and ordinances
have been made. For instance, when the first
traffic light was implemented at a major cross
section, it caused the people so much frustration that the government outlawed traffic lights
and went back to a human traffic warden.
Thanks to such measures, the people in Bhutan
are a happier bunch.
Additionally, Buddhist philosophy points to
“individual enlightenment” as a way to achieve
happiness. While there is no definitive recipe for
happiness, we do know that, much like love, it
can’t be bought, and in more modern societies,
the emphasis is on achieving financial gain and
success, rather than familial harmony, spirituality
and peace of mind. There is an awful tendency
to try to “become” something better, be more
beautiful, be wealthier and be in a constant
mode of getting there. Getting where? To a point
when you can finally say “I’m happy to be who I
am.” But that’s the catch. Happiness can never
come in the future. It just is, or is not. So quit the
pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
According to a Boston College study, 81 percent
of Americans say the country is too focused on
shopping and spending, and 88 percent think
our culture is too materialistic. Yet, Americans
seem to be at a loss when considering other
ways to fulfill their needs. With all the overstimulation, a simple walk in the park seems like
a “waste of time.” And maybe that is a great
definition for happiness: the ability to elevate
your concept of simple pleasures from being “a
waste of time” to being “absolutely essential.”
After all, one study published by the University of
Nottingham found that it is the simple pleasures
in life – eating a single, rich chocolate, taking a
walk, or taking a bubble bath – that lead to the
most satisfaction. In conjunction with this study,
the University of Illinois developed a “Satisfaction
with Life Scale” and compared happiness levels
of lottery jackpot winners with a “normal” (read:
Not Super Wealthy) control group. Participants
were asked about different elements of happiness in their lives and their moods, as well as
how often they treated themselves and in which
form they treated themselves. What the
researchers found was that simple activities,
easily attainable to both groups, like listening to
music or reading a book, brought both parties
the most happiness.
“ Happiness can never come in the future. It just is, or is not.”
What about human relationships? It is not coincidental that divorce and depression rates in
modern societies are rampant. Modern societies
embellish the concept of the individual, which is
both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, we
have the ability to create and express ourselves.
On the other, we can become more and more
isolated and detached from our family and
friends. And yet if there is one thing that is vital
for happiness, it is our intimate relationship with
the world around us. In simpler societies, where
there is more of a collective consciousness and
less individualism, there is less isolationism. For
instance, in small Indian villages, neighbors
sometimes sleep together just to be close to
others as opposed to being alone. You will never
find young Indians in these villages popping for
a cup of Masala tea at the local tea shop to read
the morning paper and to be alone! These
societies are generally poor, and yet there is
some kind of joie de vivre emanating from the
people that modern societies have undoubtedly
lost, and it quite possibly has everything to do
with this: simpler societies expect less and
accept their circumstances more readily. That is
not to say there isn’t sadness, anger, frustration
or any of these emotions that humankind all over
the globe will probably always experience, or
that their circumstances don’t need improving.
It is just that they are possibly more at peace
with their life circumstances and their negative
emotions are not stemming from a place of
immense personal dissatisfaction.
In addition to numerous studies on collective
contentment and status, an excellent documentary, “Status Anxiety” by Alain de Botton,
explores the connection between modern
society and levels of anxiety. The theory is that
while it is undoubtedly positive that people in
many cultures can freely move around different
social circles (at one time, the working class,
stayed working class and could not mix with
gentry as equals), the removal of this social
system has created a terrible dissatisfaction in
people who do not become successful or who
remain working class. At one time, the butcher,
baker and candlestick maker accepted their lot
in life and simply tried to be the best in their field
and social ranking (they could not, after all,
change their status). In today’s world, every field
is a mere stepping stone for the next best thing.
Not only can this make us anxious, aggressive,
and competitive, but it can also make us skim
over projects superficially, not getting to know a
craft well enough to become passionate about
it. The concept of connectedness and relationships also applies to the relationship we have
with the work we do.
Positive Psychology
Psychologists have taken an interest in this lack
of happiness phenomenon, and as such, a new
4/23/08
1:24 PM
Page 11
branch of psychology, aptly named “positive
psychology,” has emerged out of the focus on
attaining happiness. Positive psychology argues
that capitalizing on three factors, including deriving more pleasure from sensory life experiences;
becoming more engaged and deeply involved in
work, hobbies and relationships; and finding
ways of making lives feel more meaningful will
lead to happiness. Eureka! Sounds good, but
buyer beware: cultivating happiness is no fast
food-for-thought concept. It takes time to master.
There is, however, one more thing to address:
increase your capacity for gratitude. The happiest people are the most gracious. They are the
most thankful for what they have. And lest you
think that these people must have more than
you, not necessarily. Even someone without
anything can be thankful for the sun, the rain,
the singing birds, and their ability to see and
access beauty.
The Happiness Formula
How about we eliminate the “Keeping up with the
Joneses” phenomena? Or, even more accurately,
the “Keeping up with ourselves” phenomena.
How about just being with ourselves? Is it
possible to be happy with what we already
have? The answer is yes. It’s time to create
happiness for ourselves rather than relying on
quick fixes like shopping, eating, and drinking.
Some people take their happiness objective
matters into their own hands. Author Gretchen
Rubin is currently working on a book called The
Happiness Project, which is, as she describes it,
a memoir about the year she spent test-driving
every principle and theory on happiness she
could find, from those of Aristotle to Oprah
Winfrey. The book is due out in late 2009, but for
now she contents herself with a blog where she
records her adventures with the “challenge of
being happier.” Some of her suggestions include
complaining less and setting targets for actualizing goals. Then she has a link to a comprehensive list of tips for getting happy. Of the 100 tips,
few involve spending money. Some are obvious,
or should be, including petting an animal,
singing, and cooking. Others are not as obvious,
such as the use of color therapy.
Sound complicated? The good news is that
while happiness, on the face of it, remains an
abstract, seemingly unattainable goal, it is within everybody’s reach. The methods of getting
there may differ, but there are many options,
ranging from gardening and cooking, reading
and singing, exercise and meditation, spa treatments and relaxation techniques, to attending
psychotherapy sessions or color therapy treatments. So, what are you waiting for? Pick your
happy pill and start getting happy. Now.

The Nemesis of Happiness
We have looked at happiness, so it only seemed apt to look at its polar opposite : Unhappiness.
Nearly always a form of depression, unhappiness is something we all experience at some point at different levels.
In some senses, it is a normal part of our emotional cycle and often dampens our spirits just after a time of extreme
emotion or excitement: after an amazing vacation, when an intense relationship ends, childbirth, divorce/death of
a close friend or relative, and other dramatic events. These are “peak experiences,” and when depression sets in
after one of these moments, it acts as a balancing agent – bringing you back down to earth, albeit with a thump.
Sometimes, however, for some more than others,
depression sets in for no apparent reason, and
as you get older, if you don’t deal with it, it
can be more and more persistent, absolutely
coloring your life and your experiences in muted
tones of blue, gray, and black, thus diminishing
your ability to function in everyday life. However,
don’t think of depression as being a different state
of mind. Think of it as being a shroud or a cover
over your natural blissful state that is just awaiting your rediscovery. Bliss is always there for
you. This puts depressive states in perspective,
making it easier to imagine its transformation
into another more loving state.
According to DepressionIsReal.org, a whopping
15 million Americans a year suffer with some
form of depression, and prescription antidepressants are some of the most popular
drugs on the market.
There are varying degrees and types of depression. The National Institute of Mental Health
divides the different types like this:
Major depressive disorder interferes with a
person's ability to work, sleep, study, eat, and
enjoy life. Major depression is disabling and
prevents a person from functioning normally.
An episode of major depression might occur
only once in a person's lifetime, but more often,
it recurs throughout a person's life.

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is characterized by the onset of a depressive illness during
the winter months, when there is less natural
sunlight. SAD may be effectively treated with
light therapy. Antidepressant medication and
psychotherapy can reduce SAD symptoms,
either alone or in combination with light therapy.
Bipolar disorder, also called manic-depressive
illness, is not as common as major depression
or dysthymia. Bipolar disorder is characterized
by cycling mood changes—from extreme highs
(e.g., mania) to extreme lows.
What happens in the brain during times of
depression?
Basically, during times of depression, neurotransmitters produce fewer mood-enhancing
chemicals. What is not really known is whether
this is a result of nature or nurture. Does thinking
negatively eventually debilitate the neurotransmitters to do their job, or do under-functioning
neurotransmitters make you feel bad? Maybe it
is a combination of both, which means that we
have some control over our state of mind. This
we know: the most famous feel-good chemicals
in our system are serotonin, dopamine and
endorphins. When levels of these chemicals are
low, depression, anxiety, stress, sadness and
anger can become predominant modes for
existence.
What can you do?
Dysthymic disorder is a long-term disorder (two
years or longer), but its symptoms are not quite
as severe as those of someone who is majorly
depressed. It prevents one’s ability to feel well.
Dysthymia is sometimes accompanied by major
depression at some point during a person’s life.
Psychotic depression involves a severe depressive illness accompanied by some form of
psychosis such as a break with reality, hallucinations, and delusions.
Postpartum depression is diagnosed when a
new mother develops a major depressive episode
within one month after delivery. It is estimated
that 10 to 15 percent of women experience
postpartum depression after giving birth.

First, let yourself off the hook for not being
happy! Often, the belief that happiness is the
“right” or “normal” way to be makes us feel even
more depressed and strange! So, if you find
yourself down in the dumps, accept it and
remove the “I-should-be-happy-I-have-everything” mantra. Allow yourself to be down, but be
honest with yourself about the way you feel. If
you cannot function properly, see a healthcare
professional and seek outside help. If your
feelings are not affecting your work and home
life, but you do feel stressed, anxious and somewhat depressed, then you may be able to help
yourself using mind control, breathing techniques, journal writing, and herbal supplements.
First of all, complete this depression assessment.
A S S E S S M E N T
Do you have difficulty concentrating or making decisions at home or at work?
Have you lost interest in aspects of life that used to be important to you?
Does life seem hopeless or not even worth caring about?
Do you feel that you can’t shake off the blues, even with help of family and friends?
Do you feel guilty all the time? Or do you feel your life is meaningless or worthless?
Do you have trouble sleeping, or is your sleep restless?
Have you had crying spells or felt sad often?
Are you bothered by things that usually don't bother you?
Are you eating more or less than usual, or have you noticed any major changes in your appetite?
Are you anxious, and do you have feelings of unworthiness?
Have you felt depressed or lonely and thought your life has been a failure?
HAPPINESS TOOLS
Even if you just ticked one item from the
depression assessment, then get to work on
applying some or all of the following happiness tools. It is amazing how many changes
you can apply to your daily routine that will
directly affect symptoms of depression and
thereby increase your ability to have fun and
be happy.
Exercise
Endorphins are hormones that are chemically
related to the drug morphine! When you exercise regularly and for a prolonged period of time,
endorphins are secreted by the pituitary gland.
These hormones are known to block pain,
decrease appetite, decrease anxiety and induce
feelings of euphoria. In a recent article on
YogaJournal.com, Dr. Timothy McCall states,
“Studies have found that it (yoga) reduces levels
of cortisol (a stress hormone that's also secreted
by the adrenals), which is often elevated in
people with the disease (depression). And a
study in India found that a Yoga program that
included asana, pranayama (breathing exercises),
and meditation raised levels of serotonin and
lowered levels of monoamine oxidase – two
neurochemicals involved in depression. ” There
are several types of Yoga. Some are more
focused on raw exercise, whereas some are
more meditative in nature. The five points of
Yoga, according to the International Sivananda
Yoga Vedanta Centres, include proper exercise,
proper breathing, proper relaxation, proper diet,
and finally, positive thinking and meditation. That
should be enough proof for you. Get out your
Yoga mat. Go jogging. Dance. Or just breathe!
Get a Massage
Massage helps the energy flow through the
body and eliminates toxins, decreasing stress,
anxiety and symptoms of depression. Touch is
soooo healing. Why? Because it helps the body
release many mood enhancing chemicals such
as dopamine and serotonin and reduces the
stress hormone cortisol and adrenaline. It also
increases endorphin levels, which helps alleviate
pain. Massage lowers noradrenaline and lowers
the stress hormone ACTH (adrenocorticotrophic
hormone), boosts the immune system, stabilizes
blood sugar levels, improves lung function and
peak air flow, and is something YOU SHOULD
BE DOING ONCE OR TWICE WEEKLY. This is
health care right here, at your fingertips. If you
don’t like people touching you, which is quite
common, then try a Thai Massage – you are fully
clothed for this one, but it will still have your
serotonin flowing like a river!
Go jogging. Dance.
Or just breathe!

Meditate and Do Inner Work
There is so much more to you than meets the
eye. Half of your reactions to things are due to
childhood programming. Some of this programming is healthy and some of it is not. Sometimes
depression can be a symptom of deeply
embedded negative childhood beliefs that you
don’t even know you have. Self-knowledge and
self-awareness are key to freedom from depression in this case. While you will always have
good and bad days, the more we know ourselves, the more we are free to make positive
choices in our lives. Meditation is key, and
spending quiet time monitoring your feelings
and just observing them is a wonderful way to
understand the way you think. Once you do
that, you can change it. You just might change
your very perception.
Eat for Happiness
You are what you eat, what you breathe, what
you think, what you do. It makes sense that
what you put into your body you then put out.
So filling yourself up with empty calories may be
satisfying at the time, but it will be like a quick,
meaningless fling. If you take a look at the foods
being hailed as “super foods,” it becomes
evident that you can change your mental outlook by changing your diet. The body and mind
are interconnected. Among other benefits,
foods such as beans, berries, broccoli, salmon,
soy and spinach, for example, help boost brain
power and immunity.
Aromatherapy
This is a great natural mood enhancer. Not just
a nice-smelling candle here or there, but using
true essential oils in combination with massage.
Fragrance molecules move from the skin into
the bloodstream due to the fat-soluble nature of
the oils. Sensors at the back of the nostrils then
translate the information for the neurons in the
brain. Essential oils remain in the body for four to
24 hours before being eliminated through the
lungs and kidneys. Since the oils are natural,
they leave behind no toxicity. It’s obvious that
massage feels great, but a new study in the
Journal of the American Medical Association
found that a 20-minute evening back massage,
when done with pain meds, not only relieves
pain, but also reduces anxiety for post-operative
patients. Uplifting aromas include sandalwood,
ylang-ylang, bergamot, jasmine, lavender, geranium, rose and peppermint.
Color Therapy
Color therapy is a holistic therapy, thousands of
years old dating back to Egypt, China and India.
This is how it works: Color, being a form of light,
is also a form of energy. Color therapy utilizes the
vibrations to balance the body’s energy centers
and to stimulate the body’s healing process. The
energy relating to each of the seven spectrum
colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo
and violet) resonates with the energy of each of
the seven main chakras/energy centers of the
body. Happy colors include pink (for the heart, to
evoke love) and green (also for the heart, for
growth and creativity) and red for passion (the
root color) – so long as your depression isn’t
combined with anger!
Talk. Talk. Talk.
Taking time for oneself is yet another effective
means for discovering happiness. Try setting
aside an hour each week to bounce thoughts off
an independent person, an expert listener with
no direct ties to your life. Psychotherapy is a
popular option for those who desire an impartial
sounding board. A psychotherapist’s job is not
to tell a patient what to do, but rather to direct
the conversation, in a non-judgmental way, so
that the patient remains focused on bettering
him or herself.
Acupuncture
Another treatment for depression, acupuncture,
has been proven to increase serotonin and
endorphin levels, and recommended for use with
Chinese Herbal Medicine. The herbs work at a
root level – addressing disharmony within the
body. When combined with Chinese Herbal
Supplements, acupuncture has been known to
evoke a smile or two!
Get your vitamin D.
The sun gets a bad wrap... but, taking sunlight
exposure away causes problems of its own.
Depression being one of them. Sunlight provides people with the much needed nutrient,
Vitamin D. Feeling like your not seeing the light?
Increasing your ingested Vitamin D will do the
trick. The Institute of medicine recommends 200
IU (international units) of Vitamin D a day for
people up to 50 years old. 400 IU for people
between 51-70 and about 600 IU for people
over 70. Foods rich in Vitamin D include milk,
salmon, Vitamin D fortified orange juice.
Herbal Supplements
If you are down in the dumps, then combine
herbal remedies with your daily meditation, Yoga
practice, healthy diet and walks in the park.
These whole food supplements are non-addictive
and yet have been used for centuries to uplift
your perspective. Obviously, if you are on
medication, check with your doctor, but whole
food herbs are exactly that, dried leaves and
roots, so they are a very natural supplement.
Keeping Perspective
Ever been on an airplane and looked down
through the tiny window to the planet below?
Everything looked small and certainly of less
consequence than when you are on the ground,
right? Well, communing with nature is based on
the same principal. Trees, mountains, oceans,
flowers, and beautiful sunsets—these free gifts
are waiting for you. Enjoy them. And, in order to
enjoy these gifts, all you have to do is be alive
and open to them. After all, we are not here to
spend all our time bottled-up inside, hunched
over a computer keyboard.
It’s all about love, love, love.
Love what you do, who you are, and whom you
are with. Relationships are key to happiness. This
is why it can be very traumatic when you move to
a location where you don’t know anyone. Some
people deal with this well, but others find this
isolation too much to bear and become
depressed. Therefore, if you are relocating, go out
of your way to meet people and reach out to them.
Make your happiness a priority.
Perhaps it sounds selfish, but actually it is the
most generous thing you can do for the world.
When you’re less than happy and you can’t give
of yourself, then you aren’t serving anyone, even
yourself. On the other hand, if you feel good, you
can give of yourself and express yourself in the
world. From happiness springs generosity and
all those other virtuous qualities we know we
should have, but often don’t. So start by being
generous with yourself. Allow yourself to do
what you want (go hiking for the weekend, buy
new clothes, go for that full-day spa retreat…)
and ask for what it is you want from others. Ask
yourself daily, “What do I want?” and wait for an
epiphany. Then go get it. After all, happiness is
just a muscle. Work it out.
Love what you do, who you are, and whom you are with.

A study in India found that a Yoga program that included asana, pranayama ( breathing
exercises ), and meditation raised levels of serotonin and lowered levels of monoamine
oxidase – two neurochemicals involved in uplifting the spirits. The same is true of yoga.
The following sequence is designed to help the flow of energy to the endocrine glands and the sympathetic
nervous systems. They will pacify the nerves, slow the breath down and calm the mind, body and spirit. We have
shown the poses with and without props and offer solutions for beginners and also advanced students.
Beginners should seek the guidance of a yoga instructor to ensure correct alignment.
Props: Sticky mat, 3 blankets, yoga blocks, strap.

Walk your feet toward your head, until the back of your body forms a vertical line from your head to the back of

sunworship
It won’t help, you know. You could fall on your knees and
pray to the sun, “I will just be here an hour. Please give me
a golden tan but don’t damage my skin.”
By Sarah Jacob
Your prayer won’t be heard by the all-powerful
sun god whose nature is to shine on. It never
changes its strength, even though linguistically we
refer to the sun’s rays as getting stronger and
more powerful. Despite the negative press that
this old star has endured in recent decades, its
golden rays are consistent. It is our climate that
has become more fragile and unable to filter the
power as effectively as it did once upon a time,
before greenhouse gases existed to such a
degree. These gases that get trapped in the
atmosphere are giving dear Mother Earth a serious hot flash, which according to some scientists,
is just because of her time of life: Sunopause perhaps. In fact, MIT climatologist Richard Lindzen
claims that mankind is not to blame for global
warming and that Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth
is a misreading of the facts. But for the purposes
of sunbathing, it matters not what is the cause; it
only matters that it is. The Earth is approximately
1 degree warmer since 1970, and according to
an article in the New York Times, it will be 7
degrees higher by 2100, increasing our ocean
levels by up to 23 inches. That’s a lot of salt water.
Maybe it is evolution, and shortly we will sprout
fins, kind of like the mythological Atlantean culture
that pre-dated the ancient Greeks. But that idea
sounds a bit fishy…
Where were we? Ah yes. Sunbathing. So, the
sun can be admired and loved, but only briefly
and with the utmost care.
This is why it is so much more dangerous to
enjoy basking in the sun, like you probably did
when you were a child, without the fear of
increased free radicals deforming your perfectly
formed cells. So how do you love the sun without incurring sun damage? Just follow these ten
simple steps and you should be fine.
1. If you are fair-skinned, then in the day, cover
your body with Elemis Body Glow SPF 30 ($46)
and your face with Elemis Wrinkle Smooth SPF
30 ($35). If you are working or walking/driving
around, then on your face you can opt to apply
Elemis Liquid Layer, SPF 30 ($39) instead, which
is very light, but offers the same high protection.
Remember, when you are driving and those sun
rays gleam through your windshield, you are
doing a form of sunbathing (aka sun-driving).
Protect daily.
2. For those of us with darker skin types, including African-American/Indian and Mediterranean
skin types, you can opt for Elemis Body Glow
SPF 19 ($43) and Elemis Vital Face Sun Screen
($28). But don’t for one minute believe you are
exempt from the sun’s ravishing rays. The fairer
parts of the body, like the hands and the soles of
the feet, are susceptible to melanoma.
3. When walking around, try to wear loose white
cotton clothing and be as covered as possible.
Dark colors attract the sun and white reflects it,
so reflect the light, don’t absorb it. Also, the sun
is so strong that it has been known to burn
people through fabrics that are loosely woven.
Opt for tightly woven cottons.
4. Take vitamins C, D, E and beta-carotene,
along with selenium, calcium and zinc to boost
your skin cells and prevent sun damage. Eat
fresh fruits and veggies that are high in these
essential skin-boosting vitamins and minerals.
5. According to some studies, green tea has
been found to prevent the skin from burning if
you drink it while you are sunbathing.
6. Wear sunglasses that block 100% UVA and
UVB radiation. According to a study conducted
by Transitions Optical, only 6% of us sunbathing
lunatics know that the sun can damage the
eyes.
7. Avoid sunbathing during the hours of 11am
and 4pm during the hottest months, and
remember that you can still burn in the shade.
8. If you use an SPF 30, it means that you can
supposedly stay in the sun 30 times longer than
your normal sunburn threshold. So if you burn
after 10 minutes, you should be able to stay in
the sun for 300 minutes without burning.
But let’s face it—that is way too long. So, as a
guideline, make it 2-3 hours max, ensuring you
reapply sunscreen every 30 minutes.
9. Don’t blame the sun; it’s gorgeous.
10. Love your skin color the way it is. Seems to
me, this is the root of the issue. If you have pale,
milky skin, then love it just as it is.

THE POWER OF ONE Bryce Courtenay This extraordinary novel is set in South Africa during the early `30s and later on in the story, Northern
Rhodesia. The Power of One is the coming-of-age story of a young white boy and the obstacles he faces in South Africa, a country teeming with
hatred and racial discrimination. The protagonist, “Peekay,” no stranger to the injustice of racial hatred, learns the most important secret to survival –
the power of one. Courtenay’s book is engrossing as it unravels the metamorphosis of a most remarkable young man and the indelible influence he
has on others. Written during a time when man enslaves his fellow man and freedom remains a dream, The Power of One is a captivating story of
a young man’s search for the love that ties friends, the passion that bonds lovers and the understanding that it takes only one to change the world.
As Gandhi once said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
A NEW EARTH: AWAKENING YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE Eckhart Tolle To put it succinctly, Tolle’s book will either awaken your soul or it will put
you to sleep. It will depend on your ego’s readiness to evolve. Building on his huge success with The Power of Now, Tolle discusses his theory of
the current state of humanity. According to the author, “Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new,
saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one.” First released in 2005,
A New Earth encourages mankind to commit to changing the way they live. In simple and practical terms, Tolle leads readers to a new level of
consciousness, awakening them to their lives' purposes. In doing so, Tolle asks his readers to evolve their ego and create a new earth where peace
and love for each other are the norm.
THE GRASS IS SINGING Doris Lessing At the time of its debut, The Grass is Singing by Doris Lessing represented a brave subject matter for 1950
South Africa. More than fifty years has passed, yet this provocative book remains relevant in today’s modern world. This Nobel Laureate’s novel
recreates the quiet horror of a woman’s struggle against a ruthless fate. Lessing's story is both a riveting chronicle of human disintegration and a
beautifully underscored social critique. It is clear that the intent of the author is not to incite sympathy in its readers but to bring across a poignant tale
of human conflicts, conveying the complexity of human emotions. In the beginning, the protagonist, Mary Turner, is depicted as a self-confident,
independent young woman until one day a couple of careless words turn her life upside down, thus beginning her slow descent into madness. Written
in a relentless but powerful prose, the book is more than a simple portrayal of a failed marriage or the Victorian-esque attitude toward sex, but the
fear of black power that Lessing saw as underlying the white colonial experience of Africa. The book’s storyline is no laughing matter, and it makes
for well-argued debates and thoughtful critiques among friends, family members and book club participants.

ONE WATER The movie, One Water, was produced by Sanjeev Chatterjee, Vice Dean of the School of Communication at the University of Miami.
The intent of this remarkable film is to open people’s minds to the real situations human beings face regarding water. One Water is an exploratory
experience that reveals the state of the world’s fresh water, which is becoming more endangered by population growth and climate change, and the
affect of these changes on mankind. One Water not only explores the impending water crisis but how this invaluable commodity touches on every
aspect of human life. The movie took six years to complete and was filmed in over 14 countries, culminating in a visually stunning call to action. A
poignant aspect of the movie involves candid interviews with international luminaries including the Dalai Lama and H. H. Tenzin Gyatso. One Water
illustrates the need to address the way we, as a global collective, view this precious liquid and our imminent need to respect and protect this finite,
life-giving resource. For more information visit www.onewater.org.

ARTURO SANDOVAL Arturo Sandoval Cuban-American jazz virtuoso Arturo Sandoval, like his mentor Dizzy Gillespie, is a musical genius, both as
a performer and entertainer. Sandoval is a Grammy, Billboard and Emmy-winning artist who is fluent in at least four musical languages. He can
conjure up an Afro-Cuban groove, mastermind a perfect bebop tune, serenade you over a Mozart concerto and sooth your heart and soul with a
sublime ballad. This world-renowned artist is one of the world's most beloved guardians of the jazz trumpet. In April 2006, Arturo Sandoval opened
a jazz club in Miami Beach, The Arturo Sandoval Jazz Club. Since then, the club has featured top-notch headlining jazz acts plus local talent. Sandoval
is a living legend whose life story was the subject of the 2000 TV film For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story, starring Andy Garcia. “My
philosophy has always been that I love music. Period. I don't want to be remembered as a jazz trumpeter. I'd like to be remembered as a man who
loved music. Because I like to play piano, and I like to compose. I like to do all those things as much as I like playing the trumpet."

Traditional Korean kimchee is a spicy pickled cabbage mixture used as a condiment. This variation
uses tomato to round out the acidity and watermelon to mellow the spice so that the flavors are
similar to the original but are more salad-friendly. Serves 4.
Sesame Battered Shrimp with Watermelon-Tomato “Kimchee”
Wine Pairing
LUCIEN
CROCHET SANCERRE,
BUE, 2005
A beautiful French Sauvignon Blanc crisp
but elegant with hints of citrus. It blends
beautifully with the battered shrimp and
the spicy watermelon-tomato kimchee
salad without overpowering the dish. The
price for the Lucien Crochet is $18.
The “Sommelier” Joe Weis is the director of food
and beverage at Wish restaurant. With a degree in
hospitality management from the well-respected
University of Garmisch in his native land of
Germany and his passion for wine, he has been
regarded an expert in the field. “Wine was a big
part of my culture and with Germany’s proximity
to France there was always great wine in the
house.” Weis credits those childhood memories,
as well as time spent working in German wine
yards during college, for steering him towards
hospitality. Under Weis’ auspices, Wish has won
Wine Spectator’s “Award for Excellence” for four
consecutive years.
For the kimchee:
For the shrimp:
6 plum tomatoes, cored, halved, and cut into 1”
chunks
1 tbsp. honey
2 tsp. fish sauce
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. rice wine vinegar
2 shallots, sliced ½”
1 cup Napa cabbage, shredded
16 cilantro leaves
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 cup watermelon, seedless, diced into 1” cubes
1 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. sriracha (chile sauce available in most
Oriental markets)
12 shrimp, peeled and de-veined
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. black sesame seeds or toasted
white seeds
Salt as needed
Soda water, as needed
In a very hot sauce pot, sauté shallots in olive oil,
stirring constantly. Cook for about 2 minutes, then
add the tomatoes. Stir and cook for 2 minutes
on high.
Reduce heat to medium-high and add honey, fish
sauce, lemon juice, soy sauce and sriracha.
Simmer for 15 minutes. Place Napa cabbage in a
bowl and pour in hot mixture. Stir to coat cabbage
and cool in refrigerator. Before serving, fold in
cilantro and watermelon.
Sift all dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Whisk in
soda water until batter takes on a thick, pancake
batter-like consistency.
Batter the shrimp and cook in 350-degree oil until
batter is golden, approximately 2 minutes. Transfer
shrimp to a paper towel to drain. Season lightly
with salt.
Place a spoonful of “kimchee” into the center of
the plate. Twist three shrimp together and stack on
top of the salad.

TA U R U S In your lifelong tug-of-war between practicality and your taste for
luxury, it’s time to let your desires win. Don’t go for the cheap stuff, since quality counts
double with the Sun in your sign until May 20. The period of two or three days around
May 18 is rich with fulfillment, especially if you have a chance to travel. Strong feelings
are stirred on June 17, but it’s essential to recognize that you may need to let go of a fixed
position that’s holding you back. If fear or distrust in a relationship arises, don’t run away
from a tough conversation. Remaining open-minded in a tough situation puts you on the
fast track to a solution.
C
G E M I N I You get a boost of energy during your birthday season: May 20-June
20, but a backward slip by Mercury, your ruling planet, can create complications from
May 26-June 19. The message is that you have the will to advance your interests, yet
you could get snagged on the small stuff. Mercury’s retrograde cycle is notorious for
communication confusion, travel travails and technology breakdowns. If you hit the road,
double and triple check every detail to avoid surprises that could knock you off stride.
And, if you’re sticking close to home, this is a good time for some belated spring
cleaning and self-care that you’ve neglected while your attention’s been scattered.
D
C A N C E R Muscular Mars has been in your sign since last November, bringing
pressure to move forward even when you want to stand still. The long siege is over on
May 9, when you can start breathing easily and find a more comfortable pace. You’re not
going soft or becoming passive, but will simply feel less stressed. It’s time to start
investing in activities that open your heart with a sense of joy, even if that costs more than
you’d like to spend. Indulging yourself is a great investment, since acting like you are
wealthy can even make you healthy. As long as you are gracious and appreciative of the
delights in your life, pleasure becomes a resource that you can draw upon for years.
E
L E O Friends, groups and colleagues keep you jumping with ideas, activities
and inspiration from May 20 until June 20. You might try attending every party and
meeting since you’re such a sociable person, but picking and choosing is probably a
better plan. Instead of wearing yourself out with a million people and activities, select
those that are closest to your heart. In fact, a major reduction in face-to-face time from
June 20 until July 22 could be perfect. Getting away from it all to rest and relax puts you
in shape for mid-summer fun, where you tend to be in the middle of all the action.
A severe calendar cleaning around June 20 might disappoint others, but saying “no” to
them is really saying “yes” to yourself.
F
H
S C O R P I O Stepping out of your comfort zone may be necessary as of May 5,
when assertive Mars enters your 10th House of Responsibility. It’s not enough to put your
finger to the wind and sense what’s going to work with others now. This is your time to
take leadership positions in your professional and personal lives. Think positively, since
your intentions have more power than usual. Tense moments around May 10, June 5 and
July 10 are signals to clarify your desires rather than to compromise them. Rising passion
and power near June 30 and July 26 remind you that you can overcome almost any
obstacle with focus and discipline. Don’t settle for less, when going for the best brings
out the best in you.
I
S A G I T TA R I U S A consistent approach to maintaining your good health and
fitness is ideal while the Sun is in practical Taurus until May 20. If you have big dreams,
patiently ground them with concrete actions that just might make them come true. Your
social life gets busier as your 7th House of Partnership is lit up by the Sun starting on
May 20. Connecting with new people is easier as your sense of adventure and curiosity
encourage you to explore unfamiliar territory. The Full Moon on June 18 is a powerful
event that can push you to your limits. Cut out a person, plan or habit, if that’s what it
takes to regain control of your life before relationships grow more intense in July.
J
C A P R I C O R N Play comes before work while the Sun is in sensual Taurus until
May 20. A little self-indulgence can remind you of why you’re willing to work so hard.
Don’t let a little resistance on May 22 slow you down. Travel delays may be a chronic
issue for months, so get to the airport early and bring something good to read. Try a
different approach to diet, exercise and your daily routine when the Sun spikes up your
6th House of Maintenance between May 20 and June 20. Then relationships take off with
action in your 7th House of Partnership. The Full Moon on July 18 can be a wake-up call
to attend to your own needs.
K
A Q U A R I U S Your fertile mind is bursting with new ideas that may be just a little
bit ahead of their time. Intellectual Mercury is retrograde from May 26 until June 19, which
makes it harder for others to catch on to what you say. Cool your enthusiasm enough to be
more patient with those who can’t grasp your innovative thoughts. Friction is likely on June
11 and 12, when you’re challenged by a conflict of values or taste. It’s easy to feel misunderstood, Aquarius, yet temporarily giving up on communication gives you time to review
your own thoughts. In late June, though, your sentimental side may begin to reveal itself,
calling you back from your private world to seek the care and company of others.
L
V I R G O You’re such a responsible person, Virgo, that you sometimes wind up
taking better care of others than you do of yourself. This can become an issue when your
ruling planet Mercury turns retrograde on May 26. Its backward shift in your 10th House
of Responsibility can load you down by having to go back and complete tasks you
thought were done. Leave plenty of time until June 19 to play catch up. A showdown
around July 10 can push a relationship to the limit, yet you may finally be able to let go
of a person, attitude or job that you no longer need. Yes, you deserve a break, but do it
with friends instead of making a solo escape this summer.
P I S C E S Friends or colleagues may be less reliable on May 14 and 19. Their
plans may inspire your own visions for travel and adventure, but do your own careful
research before signing up for a cruise or a trip to an exotic island. Every big idea, and
there are plenty of them now, needs to be measured in practical terms. Don’t waste time
chasing fantasies when reality has so much to offer. Avoid taking on extra responsibilities
from May 26 to June 19, if you can, since spreading yourself too thin is possible. Late
June through the first three weeks of July should be a delicious time when present day
pleasures awaken memories of sweet dreams from the past.
G
A
L I B R A A fresh face or exciting idea adds spice to your life on May 18, but this
new experience could shake up an existing relationship. Maintaining harmony requires
tempering your enthusiasm so that your joy doesn’t become someone else’s pain. Travel
calls when the Sun enters your 9th House of Distant Places on May 20. Hitting the road
before the summer deluge increases your chances for a relaxing getaway. Details grow
murky, though, as retrograde Mercury fuzzes facts May 26-June 19. Extra attention to
the small stuff helps avoid big headaches. Your planet Venus’ stay in sensitive Cancer
on June 18, but a more playful and carefree mood returns on July 12 as recreation
replaces responsibility.
A R I E S Your long wait is over, Aries. On May 9 your ruling planet Mars finally
gets out of the soup it has been swimming in since last November. It’s playtime again,
a return to that youthful, joyous feeling that makes life worthwhile. If you’ve met the
physical and emotional challenges you’ve been facing recently, you’re free to pursue
happiness in all its delicious forms. Being more active in body and spirit is rejuvenating
and vastly increases your creativity and capacity for fun. Just be careful about chasing
illusions around June 21. A little caution can help avoid a major disappointment.
Concentration and focus are keys on July 10, when strict Saturn rewards discipline and
increases the cost of carelessness.

Raise that boy’s IQ.
Skin Intelligence for Men.
OK. Don’t tell him it’s skincare. Tell him it’s pure intelligence that will seep through his pores and make
him more interesting. Tell him whatever he wants to hear, but stop that man from using soap and start
showing him what sexy means to you. Girls, be his shaving grace. Slather him in moisturizer when he
isn’t looking. After three applications, he will be addicted, and he’ll beg for more. Skinful? Of course it is.
