Hemalayaa is a fitness and wellness expert, whose fusion of yoga and Indian dance has inspired the millions of people that she has touched through her tv appearances and classes.  This month she is taking the show on the road to LA with the Enliven experience.

Using natural products to clean, moisturise and beautify my skin works for me.  I mix apple cider vinegar with bentonite clay and honey for a wonderful facial mask.  When we introduce natural products to our bodies, including foods, herbal remedies and beautifying products, our skin responds so nicely; it's as if our skin recognises the nature in the products which in turn inspires it to bring out it's own most natural beauty. The nature in the products and the nature in our skin are symbiotic, creating a lasting, natural and noticeable beauty together. Consistency is the key with using natural products but once the habit is formed, it becomes like a ritual in self-care and an honouring of the beauty that lies within.

Lisa Garr is the broadcaster, commentator and healer that understands that we are what we think.

 

 

For me what works is positive language. I believe what you tell yourself (your thoughts too) resonates throughout the 3 trillion cells in your body, so your thoughts become things. This is one of the main things I live by. Also, anyone who knows me knows I have a regular gratitude practice. I set “gratitude anchors” around my house and in my routine to give me the chance to be grateful in case I forget. For example, there is a certain corner I turn several times a day to get to my house, and when I see that corner, I have set a sort of “floating” reminder to be extra grateful for everything in and around me at that moment. It keeps me in the space of gratitude and that makes me happy!

Favorite cream: My favorite face product is called I Am Beautiful by Ascended Health, it’s a super-charged oxygenated facial essential oil for with regenerative frequencies.

Exercise: I literally exercise 7 days a week or I am not at my best. Exercise for me pushed the reset button on my mind and body it is a major priority for the beginning of my day because it lifts my spirits. I mix it up between mountain biking, jogging with my dog & daughter, working out with my amazingly positive trainer named Linda, spinning, dancing in my living room with my daughter, whatever gets me sweating!

What makes me feel good is making other people feel good about themselves on the inside that’s what makes people feel beautiful and glow on the outside!

Amanda Luttrell Garrigus is the TV presenter and writer that thinks fashion, feels blessed and knows that being her most authentic self is the route to real gorgeous.

 

What makes me feel gorgeous... when I'm engaged in a project, whether writing behind the scenes or in front of the camera, and I'm using my brain and fully focused, then my spirit is fed and I feel radiant.

When I'm with my two beautiful daughters, and we are all laughing and playing, then I feel blessed and beautiful. When I'm with my husband on date night and we have the space to breath, and relax, and look into each others eyes without distraction and carry on a grown up conversation, then I feel, giddy, and sexy, and gorgeous. When I'm out with any one of my stunning sisters, then I bask in their beautiful glow and feel more gorgeous in their company.  Love makes me feel gorgeous. 

Then of course, sleep and water... coconut water with unsweetened cocoa is my latest delicious antioxidant fix, omegas vitamins and exercise...!  The endorphin rush from a great workout is immeasurably uplifting, I love to hike Runyon Canyon in LA .

I wash my face with my 3 year old's  Weleda Baby Calendula Shampoo and Body Wash and moisturize with Yonka Pamplemouse. Sunscreen every day - I use the product I bought for my daughters'  California Baby 30 SPF.  I'm absolutely in love with 100% Pure's Blood Orange body scrubs; my skin glows and smells incredible and they are vegan! When I'm wearing beautiful clothes that are well fit, hair washed, makeup light (a stroke or two of Dior mascara, a light dab of Armani lipstick on my lips and cheeks), skin clean and fresh. When I am my most authentic self, then I feel all possibility, and that is gorgeous to me.

Michelle Roy's gorgeous designs can be seen on the heads, wrists and now feet of Hollywoods hottest stars.

My favourite beauty product is my Luara Mercier tinited moisturizer with SPF and  I could not live without my Nars Lightneing Creme.

I swear by Omega 3 and my Organicx Vanilla Silk Shampoo – the combination of the internal and external make my hair super shiny. 

I’m loving this seasons super brights and I will be working the look with a pair of Bali Soles, a fantastic new line of sandals that I have co-created.

Maya Fiennes is one of the worlds most sought after Yoga teachers who stays gorgeous by practicing what she preaches.

I like to stay healthy and strong to deal with the challenges in life.  I therefore do plenty of exercise including the Immune Booster every day, which keeps illnesses away. Close your eyes and concentrate on the third eye located between the eyebrows.  Raise the left elbow to just below shoulder and position the left hand as if taking oath, touching the tip of the ring finger with the thumb and then close the right nostril with the right indexfinger. Then start a steady and powerful, ‘breath of fire’ – a rapid equal inhale and exhale through the left nostril just like sniffing. This breath meditation strengthens the immune system, by creating an army of white bloods cells in the body, ready to fight any viruses.

I also wear the Quantum Energy Pendant available at MayaSpace which strengthens my aura keeping bad energy flows and pollution at bay, leaving me strong and healthy.

Since I moved to Los Angeles my skin is very dry, so I always have my Kesari eye cream, in my make up bag.

I am looking forward to the new year, 2012, the Aquarian Age, when unity, love and integrity will flourish. Come and join me in one of my yoga retreats – you will find all information at MayaSpace

 

Mikki Taylor is one of the nations's foremost authorities on fashion, beauty and style.  She is utterly gorgeous from the inside out and her new book Commander in Chic is the perfect gift and the ultimate guide.

I’m the kind of girl who likes to stay “in the glow” and nothing helps me do this better than Ambi Even & Clear Exfoliating Wash.  It kicks dull skin and dead cells to the curb – it’s like having an aesthetician at my command!

When it comes to keeping fit, it’s all about my weekly sessions with my trainer and miles on the treadmill.

My best piece of style advice - never buy a look for a single event unless it’s your wedding – then you’re allowed!  That being said it’s about owning pieces that you just love and that keep pace with your lifestyle.

 I say own your life and master your style with distinction!  That’s a philosophy to live by and what being a Gorgeous Girl is all about!

 Mary Ta  is the attorney turned design guru who lives breaths and sells gorgeous.

 

Lots of international travel, great food and great champagne with plenty of sparkling water and my Natura Bisse are all fundemental to my beauty regime.  Monthly visits to my Korean Spa include body scrubs and lots of steam!

But being happy and smiling is what really keeps my complexion even.  Stress is the number one cause of my breakouts so I try very hard to minimise it.

Briana Franco is a gorgeous girl that believes food is medicine and life is better lived naturally.

After achieving a BA in Psychology I went on to study at The Institute of Integrative Nutrition® where I trained in more than one hundred dietary theories and studied a variety of practical lifestyle coaching methods.  That inspired my blog  Lucid Nutrition - a great source of information meant to enliven our lives, to produce health, prevent and fight dis-ease and learn how to have a greater awareness of our body and mind.

I can't go a day without California Baby's all natural, non-chemical, aromatherapy for skin, hair, bath and suncare for my daughter. I swear by grape seed oil for my skin and stretch marks during pregnancy. Desert Essence's 'Thoroughly Clean Face Wash' and Jason's 'Sea Fresh Toothpaste' are a must for an invigorating start to my days. I'm excited to be a part of a local CSA in Austin Texas where my family receives a bi-weekly box of fresh local organic produce, raw dairy, and pastured eggs.  The nutrients I receive from these foods allow me to continue my daily workout regimen of holding yoga like postures for up to five minutes - and hold my adorable four month old daughter at the same time!

“I fell in love with sewing aged 11 when I made my first skirt. A year later my parents gave me a sewing machine and I have never looked back since.
Despite being teased for my “uncool” hobby, I persevered and carried on sewing. I studied dressmaking and tailoring in Italy before going on to do Surface Textiles and Fashion at the London College of Fashion.  I worked for British designer Bruce Oldfield and then bridal couture designer Phillipa Lepley.
I set up Sew Over It in a response to the growing feeling that sewing was becoming a lost skill. I hope that I can pass on my passion for sewing through Sew Over It and encourage more people in London to pick up a needle and thread!

I recently had a Dermalogica facial and now I am converted so, I use Ultra calming cleanser every night followed by my multi active toner. For moisturising I use Bobbi Brown eye cream and boots protect and perfect serum. For daytime I always make sure my moisturiser has spf 15.

I like to keep my skincare routine as straight forward and natural as possible.  At the moment I am loving Kiehls Ultra Facial SPF 15 .  I love my food believe in balance, so pizza one evening a salad the next.  I keep my body and soul together by running 2 miles a day on the beach and I spend as much time as possible by the ocean.
