Get it Together!

Be prepared to make “To-Do” lists or a calendar to help you create a budget, anticipate the decorations you will need and things you may ask for your guests to bring. Most dinner parties work well with six to twelve guests. More can require separate tables and divide the intimacy of the group. Think either an outdoor afternoon or an evening in and and incorporate your ideas around your theme and occasion.

Invite Guests

An invitation sets the tone of the event you are hosting. For fall, think of warmer shades when choosing a card or stationary. Print or designs related to the season include colors like carafe, burnt sienna, plum, evergreen, gold or samba

The man behind the mouseThe Walt Disney Family Museum is one of the Bay Area’s newest attractions. Opened in 2009, it beautifully showcases the fascinating and inspiring story of Walt Disney, the beloved creator of Mickey Mouse, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disneyland and much more. He was a risk-taker who influenced popular culture through animated and live-action films, television programs, theme parks and new technologies and whose artistry, imagination and vision helped define 20th-century America.

Located in a brick building, once barracks, on the Main Post of San Francisco’s Presidio, the Museum features 40,000 square feet of the newest technology, historic materials, and artifacts to bring Disney’s achievements to life with ten interactive galleries that include early drawings and animation, movies, music, a 14-foot model of Disneyland and much more. The Museum tells the story of the man behind the myth in Disney’s own voice and in contemporary exhibits that feature state-of-the-art technologies, listening stations, and more than 200 video screens. Visitors can also enjoy the Museum store and the 114-seat Fantasia-themed theater which shows Disney classics six days a week.

addition to its galleries, the Museum presents screenings of a different Disney classic film every month, as well as related lively programs and special events, featuring Disney Legends, actors, animators, musicians, character voices, historians and Disney family members. An open studio, classes and workshops teach animation, illustration, sketching, painting, stop motion cinematography, voice acting and more for all ages. A series of one and two week summer camps encourage children to explore acting onstage, learn the secrets behind special effects, create an animated short, unwrap the magic of illusions, explore the outdoors with a video camera, create a comic book hero and more.

In

In 1928 after losing the rights to a character he had helped develop, Walt Disney had to come up with a new creation. His wife, Lillian, recalled, “He was talking about different things, kittens and cats, this and that and the other. He kept talking about a mouse.” Walt later said, “And then the name came. I had Mortimer first and my wife shook her head and then I tried Mickey and she shook her head the other way and that was it.”

We are committed to telling the story of Walt Disney’s life, in his own words and in the words of others who knew him well and worked with him. My father was very open, and in the many conversations and interviews that you will hear in the galleries, you learn the story of his life. It is a wonderful story, and Dad himself loved to tell it. Thanks to the amazing work of many dedicated people, we are fortunate to be able to tell it here using the tools he worked with including art, music, film and technology to present an honest yet affectionate portrait of this amazing artist and man.

Recently, the Health Beauty Life crew got an up close and personal opportunity to spend quality time with Tony Horton, the man behind the best-selling (and arguably most effective) fitness program in America, P90X® at his beautiful, Southern California home.

Coming face to face with Tony is a bit daunting. His unusually sculpted physique and larger than life persona have a way of making mere mortals (like me and our film crew) feel a bit…well, underdeveloped, for lack of a better term.

Not to worry. Though Tony is an undeniable force of nature, he comes across with a breezy charm and self-deprecating humor that put us immediately at ease.

Tony’s commitment to physical health, exercise and nutrition are the stuff of legend. His international success with the P90X brand and an ever growing array of fitness and nutrition products, media appearances, commercial ubiquity and well received books have made him a star.

Tony Horton is a man who undoubtedly “practices what he preaches,” and spending time with him is inspirational.

Perched high above his well-manicured grounds and gracious home, Tony’s hilltop gym is a testament to the unique brand of fitness that is the cornerstone of his business and the source of his razor ripped physique.

Shaded by lush palms and sweetened by the aroma of native eucalyptus and colorful flowers, the gym is as convenient and comfortable as it is efficient.

The gym is built in two parts: One with inside fitness equipment, the other is an outdoor “playground” constructed of handsome redwood posts and beams.

Outside, Tony “plays” on slack lines, 16-foot ropes, chin up and parallel bars, rings, a pegboard and a fingertip climbing structure. These tools provide the sort of hyper physical challenges that Tony embraces and endorses; the ones that require and reward explosive movement, agility, balance, graceful strength, speed and flexibility.

After moving to Southern California from New England, he found “gyms on every corner” but was uninspired by the typical gym routine that consisted of “doing your chest for about an hour and a half, then 45 minutes on a stationary bike… and that was pretty much your workout.”

Fascinated by physical movements of all kinds, the young Tony studied mime under one of Marcel Marceau’s colleagues and grew to appreciate the value of physical fitness, grace and performance that can’t be found in old-school weight lifting routines.

Now, an unbelievably youthful 55, Tony’s workouts are designed to maintain a body that stands up to heli-skiing, biking, running, slack line training and the rigors of extensive traveling as part of his nonstop world.

The Real Deal

as a kid, I was a “crummy” athlete with two left feet, and the last kid picked for every team, except dodgeball.

‘‘‘‘

Page 18: Health Beauty Life - FALL 2013

His workouts focus on speed, agility, flexibility, core strength and stamina, and utilize a mixture of disciplines that include resistance training, isometric, plyometric, and dynamic weight exercises. They draw from yoga, martial arts, gymnastics, and Pilates, employing a technique known as “muscle confusion” where training plateaus are eliminated by muscles “surprised” by ever-changing routines over the course of a typical 90-day training program.

Where he was once “a skinny kid with a fat little belly,” he now does hundreds of pushups daily on Swiss balls, pull-ups at the top of a 16-foot rope and slack line training. His metabolism is through the roof, his pain threshold is high and he is the opposite of what he was before.

“It’s about can-do. It’s about speed, balance, and range of motion. It’s about getting better as you get older,” says Tony.

His focus is core-based exercise that involve twisting, turning, standing on one leg, using Swiss balls to improve his core and strengthening the areas from “his armpits to his knee caps.”

Tony goes on to share, “If the part in the middle is strong, your back problems go away, your six-pack appears and you can function better as a human being whether you are picking up a box or grabbing a rock on a rock climbing route…”

Tony’s goal is to get people to reactivate their lives, to work towards a sustainability that will serve them for the long haul and suggests starting with at least 20 minutes per day of high intensity exercise with the P90X Beach Body system.

“Don’t be deterred if you only have a short time each day. It’s better to do some exercise than zero exercise. Do what you can, even if it’s only for 10 minutes. It’s about breathing deeply to move blood into your brain and stimulating the norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin”Tony states.

“Do you want the last 10, 15 or 20 years of your life to be in a slow decline, or do you want it to go up as you age? It’s about eating well, taking care of yourself and paying attention to the little things that make a big difference and doing some exercise five to seven days per week.”

I want to be able to climb ropes, ski really hard, ice climb, mountain bike and kayak. I practice indoor training for the outside world.‘‘ ‘‘

Page 19: Health Beauty Life - FALL 2013

Tony shares, “It’s about eating 'clean' for breakfast, lunch and dinner, moving forward, and getting on with your life.” As his hero Jack LaLanne often said, “You are what you eat.” “Sometimes it’s okay to not work out. Sometimes, for whatever reason, you NEED comfort food. Sometimes you want a Snickers bar. That’s okay, as long asfor the most part, your diet is good and you maintain a schedule whereover the course of a month, you get in 22 workouts and eat healthfully 90% of the time.”

"Some folks get up and eat waffles and pancakes with a big blob of butter, drenched in maple syrup. That’s not breakfast. That’s a 'birthday cake! You might as well put a candle on it and blow it out!”

Tony suggests that we all eat like our great, great, grandparents used to eat: No chemicals, processed food, and no fast foods with ingredients you can’t pronounce.

If you can do that, accordingto Tony, you are going to see rapid and dramatic physical, mental and emotional change. It’s adopting a lifestyle where you have fun, hang out with like-minded people, and stay fit."

Do your best and forget the rest!‘‘ ‘‘

Page 20: Health Beauty Life - FALL 2013

Never satisfied and gifted with a boundless energy, Tony’s working on a third book.

While his first two books were strictly about exercise and diet, the new book, set to publish in early 2014, is motivational in scope.

In the still untitled work, Tony talks about ways to approach a more rewarding life where fitness leads to role modeling to bring about positive interactions with our families, coworkers, and in ultimately our world. As Tony puts it, “It’s about having healthier kids, being outside, active, and leading a healthful life. It’s about and being a role model for your kids and your community."

To get in shape and stay there, Tony recommends an intense but not impossible workout where you push your body but never overdo it, and focus on variety to keep your muscles “guessing.” He says to “Do the things you are pretty good at and the things you are pretty bad at to create a dramatic physical, mental and emotional change.” Ask yourself, “What is your purpose?” Think about all the benefits of exercising and eating well as compared to the things you don’t get if you make lousy choices.

“When you make good choices," Tony mentions in closing "your flexibility improves, your strength improves, as does your cardio vascular system, metabolism, immune system, you enjoy better brain function, and you look better, feel better, and you get to wear those pants you haven’t been able to fit into for a while.”

Sounds like all the things we find important at Health Beauty Life.

See it all at TonyHortonsWorld.com.

According to Tony, you have to make the inside as healthy as what is on the outside. his philosophy is: "As long as it’s healthy, heat it up and eat it up."

Tony states, "I understand the food thing, but it’s still the hardest part for me. So I partnered with a company that I like a lot. They make amazing food from a great kitchen and they make menu items that are healthy and delicious with lots of super healthy ingredients that include paleolithic, meat based 'flex-itarian,' free range chicken, grass fed beef and buffalo. Of course, we have meals for vegetarians as well."

The beauty is they deliver pretty much anywhere in the U.S. for only about $9 per meal for the vegetarian dinners and $12 to $14 for the meat-based meals. They are all delivered to your door fresh, sealed and ready to eat.

“Every single bite and every single meal is clean and healthy," Tony continues. "Every single one is going to help your body lose weight and function better because you are only as good as your last meal and as your last workout. Every meal and every workout is an opportunity to move in one of two directions, better or for worse. There are programs for everybody and every situation, and they are especially helpful for people who travel but want to eat right on the road. Our goal is to make delicious healthy meals available to everyone everywhere. Food problem solved.”

On the horizon is a second version of P90X that features a workout program that is shorter in duration for those days when you just don’t feel like working out or don’t have the time. “Your worst workouts always lead to better ones, and rest is always necessary. Get your 7 ½ hours of sleep each night. Get up and breathe, meditate and wake up without a lot of coffee.”

For Tony, “It’s all about taking care of yourself and getting rid of the things that are clearly not good for you and adding things to your life that are. Try not to rely on things outside of yourself, get in the game, and take a deep breath. Live. Listen to your body and pay attention. Do your best and forget the rest.”

I’m gonna mellow out when I’m a hundred and five.‘‘ ‘‘

San Francisco is so much more than a breathtakingly beautiful city on the Northern California coast. It is a state of mind, an attitude, and a cultural

touch stone. The epitome of sophisticated cool, San Francisco’s effect on the world cannot be minimized.

Memorialized in song and romanticized in film, the City by the Bay looms larger than life with an unmistakable aura that touches and colors pop culture,

literature, cinema, music, fashion, and cuisine.

The town is known for social tolerance, acceptance of free thinking and all forms of innovation. It is no small coincidence that phrases like Love in, Be in, and Keep

On Truckin’ were born there or that tie dye, sideburns and bell bottoms were created by San Franciscans during the catalytic Summer of Love long before they were embraced by Madison Avenue or strutted down the catwalks of

Milan, New York and Paris.

A hotbed of technology, San Francisco is home to a myriad of tech pioneers who live and play in its eclectic neighborhoods, travel the short distance to their Silicon Valley labs and create products, software and an ever-evolving spectrum of social

media tools that connect us to each other and to the world.

More than a majestic orange bridge or “where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars,” the city is truly the sum of all of its magnificent parts, colorful history and

world bending attitude. >>

Fairmont Hotels & Resorts

For your stay in The City, we recommend the world-renowned Fairmont San Francisco.

Known as the “hotel so grand they built a city around it,” the Fairmont is graciously sits high atop Nob Hill at the corner of California and Mason streets, just up the hill from the Cable Car powerhouse. In fact, The Fairmont is the only spot in San Francisco where each of the City's cable car lines intersect.

Minutes from the Financial District, Union Square, Chinatown, Fisherman’s Wharf and Ghirardelli Square, the Grand Hotel is the embodiment of big city luxury and impeccable service, serving as a window to early San Francisco, with a turn-of-the-century mystique and a regal bearing rarely found in modern accommodations.

Opulent but never stuffy, the hotel was recently updated with flat screens, Frette linen ensembles, pillow top beds, and MP3 docking stations to create a perfect balance of old school luxury coupled with up-to-the-minute technology.

Fairmont San FranciscoKnown for creating cherished memories for leisure and business travelers alike, the staff at the Fairmont San Francisco pampers visitors with a level of service that will make your stay a memorable one.

Since 1907, the hotel has proudly stood as a legendary tourist destination and host to thousands of travelers from across the globe. The rich history of San Francisco and the Fairmont are intertwined with a history that began with the California Gold Rush.

Committed to environmental sustainability, the FairmontSan Francisco's unique offerings include honeybee hives within their 1,000 square foot rooftop garden. In 2010, the hotel’s executive chef, in partnership with Marshall’s Farms, installed the hives to support the bee population and for the production of organic honey. Today, Executive Chef Chad Blunston leads a culinary team that works with the “liquid gold” by harvesting honey to sweeten a number of their creations including pastries, soups, and salad dressings. Additionally, their homegrown honey is used in the hotel’s afternoon tea service and on tap in the delicious Honey Saison beer served in the Laurel Court Restaurant and Bar.

Crowning the grand hotel is the unimaginably opulent Penthouse Suite. Newly restored by Champalimaud Design from an original creation by American archeologist and art historian, Arthur Upham Pope, the suite itself is valued at $20 million.

With an interior reminiscent of the roaring '20s, the suite spans 6,000 square feet across the entire eighth floor of the Fairmont’s historic main building. The Penthouse has been visited and enjoyed by a who’s who of international dignitaries and notables including President John F. Kennedy, Prince Charles, Mick Jagger, Tony Bennett and countless others.

The rate for a one night stay in the Penthouse Suite is a princely $15,000. The Fairmont is the ultimate basecamp from which to launch your San Francisco adventure. Typical rooms and suites are luxuriantly spacious, beautifully furnished and competitively priced. Many offer breathtaking bay and city views.

ince its opening in 1945, The Tonga Room has been a San Francisco landmark. Originally a closed-terrace swimming pool, the space was re-invented in 1945 by Mel Melvin, a movie set designer. Mr. Melvin converted the pool into a lagoon and gave the restaurant a South Pacific feel. From the decorations to the lighting, The Tonga Room creates an atmosphere that is only enhanced by the tropical rain showers that delight restaurant guests every 30 minutes. Stepping in to The Tonga Room is truly like stepping into another world.

As an icon of Tikis in '40s and '50s pop culture, the Tonga Room has seen a resurgence in popularity with locals and tourists alike. The restaurant has recently undergone an extensive restoration, complete with an updated lounge and bar area to accommodate the increasing number of people that come to the Tonga Room to sip on their famous libations like the Mai Tai, the Lava Bowl (which comes in three sizes!) or the Pineapple Royale.

If you are lucky enough to be around Wednesday – Friday, a stop by The Tonga Room for Happy Hour is a MUST. This award-winning Happy Hour features a buffet of South Pacific delicacies such as edamame, mini egg rolls, chicken wings and tonga fried rice just to name a few. At only $10 per person, this is definitely one of San Francisco’s best kept Happy Hour secrets.

Open five nights a week, the Tonga Room isn’t just a place to grab dinner. The Island Groove Band, housed on a barge floating in the lagoon, keeps people grooving on the dance floor every night with their Top 40 and island music offerings!

Patrick Dockry, publisher of Health Beauty Life, was lucky enough to spend some time with JP, The Tonga Room’s Restaurant manager to sample some of the amazing food. Although gluten-free options tend to be scarce at Asian restaurants, JP explains to us that The Tonga Room only uses the freshest ingredients that are wok-fried one order at a time. This allows the kitchen team to prepare dishes to accommodate many food allergies. Since Patrick does not eat gluten, The Tonga Room prepared Mongolian Beef for him using a clean wok, virgin oil and gluten-free soy sauce. He then finished his meal with a gluten-free Tofu Cheesecake with white chocolate tuille, raspberry and lemon curd and a grapefruit suspension. With these and many other south pacific-inspired dishes offered nightly, you are in for a treat with dinner and drinks at The Tonga Room.

Patrick and JP headed to the famous Hurricane Bar inside the Tonga Room for a quick lesson in tropical mixology with bartender Chen, who turns out hundreds of these cocktails weekly. All recipes below are kid-friendly (no alcohol) but include The Tonga Room’s recommended adult add-ins for each drink!

• 1/4 oz almond syrup• 2 oz lime juice• 3 oz pineapple juice

PREPARATIon

Combine all ingredients in a large glass or empty coconut shell if you are feeling fancy. Stir ingredients, top with crushed ice and garnish with a slice of pineapple and a cherry.

Chronicling from the first run in 1873 to the present, the Cable Car Museum in San Francisco allows visitors to learn about the inventor, builders, technologies, expansion, near loss, and the ongoing efforts to maintain the much-loved cable cars that run up and down the hills of San Francisco.

Much of the allure of San Francisco’s surviving cables cars is due to the antique nature of the vehicles and the seemingly mysterious method by which they travel the slopes of the city. It has fascinated locals and tourists alike who marvel at how these little cars seemingly glide on their tracks apparently without any visible means of propulsion. In truth, the system is amazingly simple and has changed little since the first cable car lines appeared in the Victorian San Francisco of the late 19th century.

Established in 1974, the Cable Car Museum is operated by the Friends of the Cable Car Museum as a nonprofit educational facility. Located on Nob Hill in the historic Washington-Mason cable car barn and powerhouse, the museum deck overlooks the huge engines and winding wheels that pull the cables for the still operational system. It is the only remaining powerhouse for all currently running cable car lines. Downstairs is a viewing area of the large sheaves and cable line entering the building through the channel under the street.

In addition to explaining how the system works, on display are various mechanical devices such as grips, tracks, cable, brake mechanisms, tools, detailed models, and a large collection of historic photographs. The museum also houses three antique cable cars from the 1870s including the Sutter Street Railway number 46 grip car and number 54 trailer, as well as the only surviving car from the first cable car company, the Clay Street Hill Railroad number 8 grip car.

The perfect conclusion to any tour, be sure and visit the museum store, which features a variety of cable car memorabilia, books, clothing, cards, and even genuine cable car bells and used cable pieces.

Ghirardelli SquareWhether it’s happy hour at McCormick and Kuleto’s, late night dining at The Pub or a savory treat at Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop, no visit to San Francisco is complete without a trip to Ghirardelli Square.

Located on North Point Street at the corner of Beach and Larkin Streets, Ghirardelli Square is on the west side of Fisherman’s Wharf. It’s easily in walking distance just two blocks east of Van Ness Avenue and one block west of the Cable Car turnaround at Beach and Hyde Streets.

Considered the first successful adaptive reuse project in the country, this specialty retail and dining complex, housing many shops and restaurants, was previously a chocolate factory established by Domenico “Domingo” Ghirardelli.

In 1893, Ghirardelli took over the entire city block of the former Pioneer Woolen Mills on North Point Street, the current site of the Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop and Ghirardelli Square. In the early 1960s, the company was bought by the Golden Grain Macaroni Company, which moved the Ghirardelli headquarters off-site and put the square up for sale.

To prevent the square from being replaced by apartments, prominent San Franciscans William Matson Roth and his mother bought the property in 1962. As dedicated preservationists, they converted the historic brick structures into an integrated yet picturesque restaurant and retail complex, which eventually became a popular tourist destination. Twenty years later, the complex was granted National Historic Registry status proudly ensuring the preservation of Ghirardelli Square for future generations.

Today, Ghirardelli Square delights visitors with its lively retail mix. Stop by to grab a bite, shop for gifts or at least sample the tasty confections that made the Ghirardelli name famous.

Born in 1817 in Rapallo, Italy, Ghirardelli served as a Genoa confectioner’s apprentice and at a young age developed a strong interest in the business. He left for Uruguay when he was 20 years old, then sailed around Cape Horn to Peru where he became a coffee and chocolate merchant. Ghirardelli left for San Francisco in 1849 and opened a general store supplying mustard, coffee, spices and, of course, chocolate, eventually establishing his own chocolate factory in 1852.

Haight-AshburyThe Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco generally encompasses the neighborhood surrounding Haight Street, bounded by Stanyan Street and Golden Gate Park on the west, Oak Street and the Golden Gate Park Panhandle on the north, Baker Street and Buena Vista Park to the east and Frederick Street and Ashbury Heights and Cole Valley neighborhoods to the south.

Known for its tie-dyed, flower power roots in the 1960s, Haight-Ashbury reached its height of notoriety in 1967 during the famous Summer of Love. The neighborhood at that time became a haven for hippies and influential psychedelic rock performers. Though it still maintains a slightly coarse, Bohemian vibe, Haight-Ashbury is now an eclectic mix of boutiques, vintage clothing stores, book and record shops, trendy restaurants and cafes, and beautifully restored Victorian homes.

Lombard Street is one of San Francisco's top-rated sights. The "crooked" section of the public road is located between Hyde and Leavenworth, just a few blocks above Ghirardelli Square.

Often referred to as the crookedest street in San Francisco, in actuality Lombard Street is neither the most crooked nor the steepest street in the city, let alone the world. Strangely, that fact doesn't discourage the mass of tourists that journey every year to see, let alone experience, this famous stretch of road for themselves.

Built with eight switchbacks on a 40-degree slope, the highlight of the Lombard Street experience is watching people drive down the crooked, one-way, one-block section. On a busy day, a seemingly endless stream of cars, scooters and even bicycles cruise down the path, their passengers squealing and swaying at every turn.

If you're looking for the premium vantage point for picture taking for this popular landmark while on foot, find a spot at the bottom looking up and snap away.

you are on the lookout for great beef in the Bay Area, look no further than Izzy’s Steaks and Chops. Located on Steiner Street, the restaurant has been serving locals for over 25 years. From their high quality beef to their fresh seafood dishes and classic cocktails like Izzy’s Manhattan, there is something to please everyone.

The story, or legend for that matter, of the man behind the restaurant’s name is about as flavorful and unique as the food offered by Mark Epstein and his kitchen crew. Izzy was one of the most notorious saloon keepers in San Francisco prior to prohibition. Located on the Barbary Coast, the bar kept a rough and tumble crowd and even witnessed a shooting or two, which was not common during those times. During the prohibition, Izzy became a moonshine bootlegger, giving locals a steady supply of white lightening until the end of prohibition in 1933. It is believed that Izzy was the city’s first proprietor to apply for, and receive, a liquor license in 1934 and began pedaling his libation legally.

Not all of the legends surrounding Izzy's are dark in nature. He was famous for feeding people who had no money and would often trade his home-cooked meals for a song and dance or a bit of entertainment.

It is in this spirit of community in which the restaurant finds a bond with its namesake. The neighborhood restaurant has been a success in that they opened and have continually filled seats nightly by word of mouth. Any local will tell you that their skirt steak and drunken shrimp are worth the wait. In fact, the skirt steak is actually stuff of tradition with the San Francisco Police Department. Almost every member of the force has come to Izzy’s for the skirt steak at least once. Izzy’s is open nightly and reservations are highly recommended. Even if you do just stop by, the food is certainly worth the wait and you can pass your time people watching while sipping on a hand-crafted Dragonfruit Cosmo or Izzy’s famous Manhattan.

Initially designed as a private floating residence by houseboat designer Thor Kiddoo, Forbes Island originally launched December 23, 1980 and immediately became

the place to go in San Francisco. The original island featured three private staterooms complete with a

waterfall that cascaded into a hot tub and was featured on shows such as Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous

and That’s Incredible.

Now featuring a variety of dining rooms, including a wine cellar available for a private dining experience for two,

the Forbes Island Restaurant has continued to be one of the most unique landmarks in San Francisco. The views are incredible.The Tahiti Dining Room boasts views of

Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge and the Sea Lion Bar and Dining Room has amazing waterfront views of Downtown San Francisco, Coit Tower and Russian Hill.

One of the most unique features about the Forbes IslandRestaurant is that is an actual island – in fact, it is theonly man-made floating island in the United States.

Diners take a five minute "voyage" to the restaurant aboard a 27-person ferry that puts diners up close and personal with the famous Pier 39 sea lion and provides

beautiful views of the pier and city.

As you near the island, you will notice the40-foot lighthouse and towering palms that make the

floating establishment seem natural rather than man-made.

The only privately built lighthouse in the United States, it's equipped with an authentic Fresnel Lens on loan from the

United States Lighthouse Society.

The restaurant features several dining experiences. From large indoor and outdoor spaces to intimate nooks for two, any room that you choose promises to provide a unique atmosphere to enjoy the excellent cuisine and

perfectly mixed cocktails.

The Sea Lion Bar and Dining Room offers beautiful views of the harbor, while the Tahiti Dining Room is actually a

thatched beach hut perfectly positioned under the gently swaying island palms.

To really appreciate the Forbes Island experience, you have to check out the restaurant’s underwater dining

room, The Main Salon.

To step into the Salon is to enter another world. Filled with nautical artifacts and designed to feel as if you are in the hull of a wooden galleon ship, the views are through portholes that allow diners to see the underwater world.

If you are looking for an intimate dining experience with a loved one, The Forbes Island Wine Cellar is a private

experience for parties of Two. Availability is limited. So plan ahead.

No matter where you choose to dine, all guests get to sample from the same menu which is as varied and

inviting as the island itself. From the Dungeness Crab, Avocado & Bay Scallop Salad to the Avocado

Bruschetta with a balsamic glaze, the appetizers are light and perfect for sharing and take advantage of the

regional staples from land and sea. The dinner selec-tions are sure to please. From the Denver Cut Steak with a Brandy Mustard Crème Sauce to the Wild Mushroom Risotto finished with a balsamic glaze and the Organic

Salmon with a Ginger Lime Crème Sauce, there is definitely something that everyone will be sure to enjoy.

Of course, there is always room for dessert!

The Crème Brulee is creamy with a smooth vanilla finish that is complemented by a perfectly toasted crunchy

sugar crust.

But you cannot leave without trying the Berries Napoleon layered with mascarpone crème and hazelnut tuile, this

dessert is bright, creamy, sweet, tangy and nutty all at once.

So, the next time you are in San Francisco head on overto Forbes Island Restaurant and say Hi! While you are

out there stay for some great wine, some amazing food and some of the best views of San Francisco that

can be found!

Since you have to take a ferry, reservations arenecessary, but rest assured, they are easy to make –

Located steps from the entrance to Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace, this visual and culinary masterpiece is the latest and largest of the 26 Nobu Restaurants.

Spanning over 12,000 square feet and featuring a Sushi Bar, Lounge, and 3 traditional Teppan-Yaki tables, the restaurant comfortably accommodates 327 guests.

Bamboo structures that line the exterior restaurant walls are reminiscent of traditional Japanese Ikebana baskets that allow guests to enjoy private dining while they observe other diners as well as passersby. As Nobu Manager Colleen Donolan points out, “That is one of Nobu Restaurant’s themes, to see, and be seen.”

Another theme of the Nobu experience is to incorporate elements that are representative of their local neighborhood or region. Here, hints of bright fabrics and bold shapes are a nod to the colorful and dramatic feel of Las Vegas.

In addition to a spectacular Sushi Bar, there are three Teppan-Yaki Tables located throughout the space. In fact, Nobu Caesars Palace is the first Nobu in the United States to feature this traditional Japanese style cuisine.

Guests are treated to signature Nobu dishes such as yellowtail jalapeño, black cod with miso, and premium Japanese Wagyu beef. The dinner menu is (beyond) impressive and the menus created for the Teppan-Yaki experience are truly unique and reflect the Nobu concept of traditional meets modern.

If you want to truly experience the essence of Nobu, skip over all of the hot and cold menus and order the Multi-Course Omakase Menu. The Chef’s Daily Creation Omakase Menu is the best way to experience Nobu the way it was intended, with each dish individually selected for you. Since opening in February 2013, Nobu has established itself as THE place to dine for locals, tourists and celebrities and reservations are highly suggested.

Coupling the ancient art of rainwater harvesting with today’s advanced water filtration technology, RainCatcher.org grants access to affordable, sustainable and safe drinking water to developing countries.

Although 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water, almost 800 million people don’t have access to water clean enough to drink. According to this growing non-profit, over 6,000 people perish from the earth every day because of waterborne diseases, 4,500 of which are children under the age of five.

In less than three minutes, RainCatcher can implement a sure-fire solution by simply catching rain and filtering it. Schools, churches and other existing buildings easily become efficient raincatchers with the addition of gutters, tanks and filters.

In areas where rain is not abundant, this innovative system can clean and filter even the dirtiest water on the spot including existing contaminated sources. There are no wells required, no pumps, no electricity, and no irrigation systems.

The key to this simple approach is a special filter copied from a design for the medical industry for kidney dialysis. The filter is a hollow membrane consisting of thousands of tiny tubes with ultrafine pinprick holes, each measuring .1 microns in diameter. A cholera molecule, for example, is .5 microns in size and cannot fit through holes so small. These high tech filters connect to an intake funnel and strain out harmful microorganisms from the water. Bacteria infested water goes in and clean, safe, and ready to drink water comes out. And, according to the manufacturer, if maintained properly with regular back flushing, these life-saving filters can last indefinitely.

Since 2009, RainCatcher has provided access to clean drinking water to more than 750,000 people in Africa, India and Haiti. They have equipped over 80 schools, hospitals and churches with rainwater-harvesting systems throughout some of the poorest areas and have donated over 14,000 clean water filters to date.

RainCatcher also teaches communities in affected areas to pay it forward by educating locals how to install and maintain the filters and holding tanks. Once trained, they are encouraged to share the solution with other villages so even more people will have access to clean water.

According to RainCatcher.org, the world water shortage is a solvable problem. Completely supported by private and corporate contributions, a $50 donation can provide 100 people in need with a million gallons of clean drinking water.

a turning pointSome time ago, Chrisanna realized she didn’t feel good about herself or the way her life was going.

After some serious self-reflection, she determined that getting into better shape was an important part of the solution and began a strength and conditioning fitness program (known as CrossFit) at a gym a few blocks from her home.

What she didn’t know at the time was that this single decision would ignite a chain of other actions that would literally alter the course of her life. Chrisanna soon realized the challenge was going to take a lot of work, but she remained steadfastly committed.

In addition to her commitment to physical improvement, Chrisanna made a commitment to work on her relationship. To that end, Chrisanna and her husband found the challenges and shared goals of working out together fun and rewarding, which eventually became the saving grace for their marriage.

finding normalAlong the way, Chrisanna penned The Normal Bar: The Surprising Secrets of Happy Couples and What they Reveal about Creating a New Normal in your Relationship. An in-depth look at what is considered normal in relationships and what is considered different.

What next?In addition to launching new products and expand-ing her brands, Chrisanna is working on another book and is happily negotiating a few television opportunities.

For the full interview, please visit healthbeautylife.com.

The neat thing about doing crossFit is that once you start seeing changes in your body, you just don’t want to stop. When you start feeling better about yourself and your body starts looking better, everything improves…including your relationship.

‘‘ ‘‘ I wrote the book for anyone who is looking at their relationship and wondering if they have realistic or unrealistic goals with it.‘‘ ‘‘

In addition to being a successful author and managing her motivational brand, Chrisanna Northrup is also co-owner of CrossFit® Del Mar- an always-humming gym on the fringe of San Diego in Southern California.

The ultimate for upper body strength, the bar is for pull-ups. Because women tend to have a bit of disadvantage with upper body strength, start with a few push-ups to help build muscle and then introduce chin-ups while standing on a high box. With a little baby jump up to the bar, these aided lift-ups from the box allow the muscles to get used to the action and prepare for eventual full pull-ups. As the exercise becomes easier, use lower boxes and then transition into a kicking or kipping pull up.

A kipping pull-up starts with hanging from the bar and you swing your hips and legs to gain momentum so you can pull yourself up and to the bar.

The box jump will help with your vertical jump and will work to balance out your hamstrings, quadriceps, and glutes, which tighten your backside for sexy curves. Start with a baby box. Step up and down with several repetitions and then transition up to jumping up on the box and back down again. From there, move on to a taller box.

Let’S join ChriSanna For a SampLing oF a CroSSFit WorkoUt…

CrossFit is a fitness program that safely, effectively, and efficiently trains people for life rather than specialize in any one skill. Varied constantly to include movements from Olympic lifting, gymnastics, and endurance sports, CrossFit uses functional movement patterns that are universally applicable and scalable so they apply to everyone regardless of condition or experience.

Page 63: Health Beauty Life - FALL 2013

Flipping tires is a functional movement, which builds strength and your core. Do multiple reps to get your cardio up.

Start with your feet outside of your hips, keep the chest up, reach down and get a good grip on the tire. Drive the lift with your heels and use your hamstrings to boost, introducing a knee if needed to help flip the tire over. Start small and work your way up to larger tires.

tire flipping

Add interest to sprints by flipping a 50 lb sandbag over your head and onto your shoulders. Dash out 200-400 meters and back again, and then continue to the next exercise.

sandbag Carries

Kettlebells are not just for arm workouts; in fact, there are several exercises that use many other muscle groups.

Using your hamstrings, your hips and building your core, position your feet outside of your hips, squat down and grab the handle of the kettlebell. Keep your arms straight and then use your hips to thrust helping to propel the kettlebell upward and over your head.

kettlebell swings

The key to a CrossFit regiment is to mix things up and to have fun with it. Getting in shape this way also helps in a lot of other areas in your life. Not only will you look and feel better about yourself, you’ll carry that over into everything else that you do, including your relationship…which is always a good thing!

CrossFit Del Mar is a 4,500 square foot CrossFit® facility owned by Kim Bono, Chrisanna Northrup, Mark and Esther Marek. They staff dedicated, world-class trainers to help members achieve fitness and nutrition goals in a fun and positive environment.

STEM CELL SCIENCE FOR SKIN™

Page 65: Health Beauty Life - FALL 2013

Dr. Tess Mauricio, America’s favorite Dermatologist, and her team at M Beauty by Dr. Tess, in San Diego, California, have found measurable success rejuvenating joint injuries, avoiding surgery and providing pain relief with Regenerative Cell Therapy.

Auntie Annie, Tess’ Mother’s dearest cousin, suffers from chronic rheumatoid arthritis and the pain in her joints was so severe that she could not walk or even perform simple tasks. Even getting in and out of bed was a major task with excruciating, off-the-scale pain. It was hard to face each day and it made her feel as if she could not continue living.

After not responding to many different treatments with her Rheumatologist, Auntie Annie was desperate. She sought the help of her niece, Dr. Tess, who performed Regenerative Cell Therapy. Months later, she is living nearly pain-free, traveling with her husband and finally enjoying life.

Regenerative Cell Therapy involves harvesting and redistributing regenerative cells to replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissues.

Used for years as a treatment for a variety of medical issues as well as an alternative to painful cosmetic surgery, Regenerative Cell Therapy uses liposuction, to carefully harvest fat from just under the skin, whichcontains significant amounts of regenerative cells.

The captured fat cells are processed to isolate regenerative cells, and injected locally or systemically, to ease chronic pain, bolster damaged tissue and stimulate healing.

Recently, Health Beauty Life Publisher, Patrick Dockry met with Dr. Tess and her team for a Regenerative Cell Therapy treatment for relief from a year-old knee injury involving a painful dislocation.

With a goal of mitigating pain and increasing mobility, Dr. Tess used a liposuction and fat harvesting process named Tickle Lipo, (also known as Nutational Infrasonic Liposculpture or N.I.L.). Commonly used for body sculpting, N.I.L. uses air pressure to remove fat, and leave surrounding non-fatty tissue undisturbed.

The fat cells are then measured to insure that a quantitative amount of the regenerative cells are present, and 5 ml are carefully injected into the injured knee.

After a three week rest period to allow the cells to take effect, Patrick was pain free and experienced significantly enhanced mobility, which continues to improve over time.

“I want people who are suffering with pain and feel like there is no hope to know that there is much promise with this therapy,” declares Dr. Tess. “There is no guarantee that it will work for everyone or every ailment, but for those at the end of their rope, it’s at least worth a try.”

ome along as we share a white hot day in Las Vegas, Nevada where we go from the past to the present and from morning to night.

Together, we will step back in time to bask in the golden neon glow of vintage Vegas, circa 1941, to check in at the magnificently refurbished El Cortez Hotel, then wander among the hulking electric signage that greeted visitors to a Vegas

of yesteryear at the unimaginably cool Neon Sign Museum and boneyard.

Fast forward to Las Vegas today to spend some time with the dolphins at The Mirage, hit Bacchanal, the spectacularly appointed, super shiny, FOUR star mega buffet at Caesars Palace,

and step into NOBU, Robert DeNiro and Chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s ultra-boutique “hotel within a hotel.”

Next we’re gonna zip on over to Glitter Gulch, the still thriving Fremont Street Experience. Then board a chopper to catch a sunset helicopter ride above the

glitzy glamour on a spectacular purple desert evening.

Hungry? No problem. Let’s drop in at SHe by Morton’s, Eva Longoria’s bad-girl hot spot that redefines the steak house and puts a new spin on the festivities as only SHe can.

Finally, we go back stage at Le Rêve – The Dream, undeniably the hottest show in town, to meet the impeccably razor ripped cast and find out how they

stay super fit and focused for their twice-nightly aerial reverie.

Sound like fun? We thought so! Grab your sunscreen, put on your poker face, and get ready to rock because this…is….Las Vegas…in a day.

The Boneyard is a sparkling gallery of the rooftop badges that beckoned visitors to the pleasure palaces and attractions of Las Vegas’ bygone era.

Sprinkled along a meandering path, the ever-evolving collection includes original, restored, and soon to be restored examples from Aladdin’s Lamp, the Stardust, the Sahara, Silver Slipper, Binion’s Horseshoe, and many, many others.

For lovers of vintage Americana, the first glimpse of the collection will elicit a love at-first-sight response and memories that will last a lifetime.

The brainchild of award-winning actress Eva Longoria and Landry’s Inc., this stylish concept restaurant opened to

rave reviews on New Year’s Eve 2012.

Touted as a “female-friendly” steakhouse (they even have mirrors on the dessert menus!), the kitchen features portion options for anyone:

"She cuts" – small portions of the best cuts of meat for smaller appetites, "we cuts" – for sharing, and "he cuts" – steaks big

enough to satisfy any appetite.

With a DJ spinning the hottest tunes accompanied by a sultry floor show, the restaurant is much more than a place to get great steaks.

It is a beautiful integration of fine dining, fashion and music.

Full tables nightly mean that Chef Eric Stetcher and his kitchen team have to stay on their toes to keep up with the demand, but they

wouldn’t have it any other way.

Don't miss it.

What it’s AboutLe Rêve is French for "The Dream" and is inspired by the centerpiece painting by Picasso of the same name, which until recently was owned by hotel proprietor Steve Wynn. Le Rêve - The Dream, was specifically created for Wynn and was produced by Franco Dragone, the director behind many other spectacular shows such as O, La Nouba, Mystère, Alegría, and Quidam for Cirque du Soleil.

The stage features a 1.1 million gallon pool built specifically for the show and no seat is more than 40 feet from the stage. So every member of the audience feels like a part of the dream. It’s an intimate setting where guests can witness the diving and feats of strength with spectacular lighting, staging, costuming, and state-of-the-art special effects.

A Peek Behind the ScenesHealth Beauty Life was granted backstage access to Le Rêve, undoubtedly one of the hottest shows in Vegas. Publisher Patrick Dockry joined Le Rêve performers Ryan Lyons and Kelly Phelan for an up close look behind the scenes and the huge amount of preparation needed to flawlessly pull off a show of this magnitude.

Page 88: Health Beauty Life - FALL 2013

A trampoline and tumbling expert on the national Cirque du Soleil team in Canada, Ryan was recruited and involved in some of the early creation process for Le Rêve.

“Everything was developed by a full artistic team including various coaches and a choreographer to pull everything together,” said Ryan. “Director Franco Dragone developed the characters, which were cast from talent representing 13 different countries. The cast was involved in much of the collaboration and there was an extensive trial and error period, eventually moving here to Vegas to prepare. Months later and after much hard work, it all came together and we had this magnificent show.”

To synchronize the show with its intricate lighting, costuming, set movements, and feats of strength and agility, it takes a team to pull it off. And according to Ryan, for the performers it starts at a very, very basic level with a training facility in the back.

“We rehearse and introduce all of those elements out back and then bring them on to the stage and slowly start introducing the show elements. Final rehearsals are usually at full show conditions making sure it all comes together later in front of the audience,” Ryan adds.

With a strong background in gymnastics, Kelly adapted her skills to include the medium of water, including becoming a certified scuba diver as is required for all performers. While showing Patrick the training facility, she chatted about what it takes to keep in top shape.

“As a performer, every six months you have something called the baseline test to make sure you stay in shape for the show and to help prevent injuries. Everyone must take the test, including the clowns. There’s also a specific test for your part in the show and a swim test to be sure you are in shape and not going down the wrong path as an athlete,” Kelly said.

According to both performers, the training is very functional to the show and there’s a whole athletic team that keeps them in shape and a nutritionist to assure that they eat right. They are also required to do a certain amount of workouts per week on premises, which is done in addition to the regular rehearsals.

Dressing the CharactersBetween exposure to water and chlorine, and constant wear and tear during the performances, the wardrobe for the show is really put through the ringer, so to speak. According to Ronnie Grinie, assistant head of wardrobe, his department uses a lot of water-friendly fabrics such as neoprene and spandex to dress the characters and bring them to life.

“There are two sets of costumes for each show night,” says Ronnie. “One for the first performance and another for the second nightly show. There are also rehearsal costumes and show costumes.”

Kelly pipes in, “It’s important that we have the actual costumes we will be using in the show during rehearsal as it can change how we walk, move and perform.”

Ronnie continues, “There are a lot of tricks that we’ve learned over the years to make it all work for the wigs, masks and clothing. Some of the items are built here in house, while some are done by outside vendors. Regardless, everything is custom fit to the performer so it all comes together flawlessly.”

always been, but the Las Vegas of today is a lot more fun.
