Gorgeous, Glowing Skin within Minutes

09.17.18

There are so many sheet masks available on the market now, so how can you choose the right one for you? I just discovered Starskin, a Swiss-Korean premium skincare brand dedicated solely to sheet masks created in 2015 by Paul Hendricks and Nicole Arnoldussen.

In a short time, they’ve launched 22 beauty innovations and in the first 1.5 years won 15 beauty awards. Starskin is a stand out from its ingredients such as brown algae, medicinal plants and soy proteins to better penetrate the skin. The line is also free from parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, sulphates and synthetic dyes. The collection includes Bio-Cellulose Masks for brightening and anti-wrinkles, a Detoxing Sea Kelp Collection, Soft Peeling Program, Double Layer Foot and Hand Masks, and even a 7-Second Masks.

and even Hair Masks. If you shop on their site you can choose what’s best for your needs, whether it be acne and blemishes, dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles, dryness and dullness, and lift, shape and contour.  

I love the sheet masks that are brightening and for anti-wrinkles. Unlike other masks, this one comes with 100% Pure Camellia Seed Oil that’s packed with natural antioxidants, skin-loving vitamins and fatty acids, to soften the skin and enhance ingredients absorption. So, it’s a two-step process, first start with applying the oil to your face and then follow up with the nourshing sheet mask for 15 min. made from a 100% natural silky soft material from Japan. The price is right, too. Each mask costs $10. 

You can find the entire collection and discover more at starskin.com.

Bottom of The POt, Persian Recipes and Stories

09.14.18

LA’s award-winning writer and Persian food expert Naz Deravian debuts Bottom of the Pot, Persian Recipes and Stories on September 18 that introduces the vibrant smells and flavor of Persian cooking, adapted for an American home kitchen. If you love Persian cuisine, I highly recommend this cookbook. It has beautiful photographs, interesting and entertaining stories about her family, food, neighborhood and heritage. The recipes are easy to follow and you can enjoy some of your favorite Persian dishes  and discover new ones at home.

Here’s a little back story about Naz: At eight years old, she fled Iran with her family during the height of the 1979 Iranian Revolution and the hostage crisis. Over the following decades, she moved from Italy to Canada to the United States, but she always carried with her the family traditions and recipes—steaming pomegranate and walnut chicken, barley and lentil soup, and tahdig, the crispy, golden jewels of rice that form a crust at the bottom of the pot—and adapted them to her new home.

Bottom of the Pot, is a celebration of Iran’s culinary heritage. From the Deravian family’s journey from Tehran to Vancouver to the varied political, cultural, and geographic forces at play across the Persian table, the recipes and stories in this book lay out the multi-hued canvas of a Persian meal and explore the meaning of home.

You can preorder the book here and meet her at a launch event and signing on Now Serving LA Sept. 18 at 7 p.m.
