Fresh Beauty’s Revamped Lotus Skincare Line is All-American with All-American Fruits.

                             By Laura Medina




Fresh Beauty’s Lotus Collection has returned on Earth Day.

This time around, Fresh Beauty uses all of the whole lotus into the collection.  Nothing goes to waste, all in the name of sustainability.

To cut down on fossil fuel, Fresh grows their all ingredients in America.

They grow and farm their lotuses in Alabama. They use Prickly Pears and peaches in their revamped collection.

Jam packed with antioxidant goodness, this goes a long way with this new Lotus collection.

Most skincare companies just use the heart of a flower then discard the rest away. Not with Fresh, they use the whole Lotus in their collection with Prickly Pears and peaches.


After the event, guests potted their own succulents in empty Fresh ceramic and glass jars, to take home on Earth Day.

With Fresh Beauty harvesting and growing their own ingredients in the US, they unintentionally created an All-American skincare.

Something that this sun-soaked scribe can use through July the 4th.

Eric Gee’s Power of Personality, What’s Your Spirit Animal?

By Laura Medina 



After coaching kids in sports and education then coaching their dads in careers and jobs, life coach, tutor, and mentor, Eric Gee sensed there must be a better and way more fun way to coach people than boring Briggs-Meyers test.

People are so exhausted being round pegs squeezing themselves into square holes. 

Hey, why not update it to animal spirits then refashion personality types into video game avatars and fun animals?

He also started coaching studio in Culver City, YouTopiaProject.com, https://www.projectyoutopia.com/the-power-of-personality where he train people who later become employed at major streaming networks nearby.

Why not spread the word to those outside of Hollywood and entertainment?

This how his fun life coach-guidebook, “The Power of Personality,” https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-power-of-personality-eric-gee/1143728358 came about.

At his book debut Happy Hour launch party at his YouTopiaProject.com studio in Culver City, media folks were having fun, learning what’s their “personality animal.”

Eric describes himself as baboon, what Myers-Briggs describes as ENFP https://youtopiaproject.com/you-are-a-baboon-enfp/, what most would call a catalyst.

Something that Eric Gee has been coaching for twenty long years.

What personality animal are you?

Find out in his “The Power of Personality.”


Glen Ivy Hot Springs, A Hideaway From the Gateway.

 By Laura Medina


For Hollywood Entertainment industry insiders, Coachella is wrapping up as Stagecoach is about to rev up.

Pretty soon, it’ll be Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

Yes, you lucky folks got you all’s tumenscene out in what is a twenty-first century fertility rite of Spring, so close to Earth Day.

Now, your dermis is paying the price for all that partying out in the desert.

Nestled between Santa Ana Mountains, San Gabriel Mountains, and San Bernardino Mountains, Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa is a slice of valley green heaven hideaway, shielded by the mountains, a California version of Switzerland. 

It’s history going back to 1860s. While the East Coast was wagering the Civil War, an husband was nursing his ailing wife at a mineral hot springs, that later became Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa and Golf Course to this day.

A long-standing history of retreating from current day stress, Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa is no slouch in up to date facial and body rejuvenating treatments.

This stressed out scribe was treated to their new Radiant Rejuvenation Glow Facial. Glen Ivy has the most knowledgeable facialists, in a state of art spa, the Comfort Zone. It also sells the spa’s own skincare that guests can take home to keep up the facials. To maintain those healthy glows, the Comfort Zone also sells Coola Sunscreen and Glo Cosmetics. 

It’s a two-steps facial that’s best for those naughty moms and dads who know better to pick at their acne scars but did. Now, they’re smarting for a facial.

Radiant Rejuvenation Glow Facial’s first step is an effective yet gentle acid peel that eats away at the blemishes and the fine wrinkles.

Then, the second facial is applied. The second facial is a light yet moisturizing mask that replenishes and heals the new layer of skin, freed from UV damages and blemish flaws.

Hence, a “rejuvenated” new you.

In between, the facialist massages the stress out of your scalp and neck, ah.

Before or after, guests can soak in the day spa’s mineral jacuzzis, splash in salt water pool, or soak in the mud bath.

Guests can refuel and treat themselves at Ivy Kitchen and the Cafe for breakfast and lunch.

They have activities  such as floral arrangements and intentional bracelets crafting in their “secret garden.”  Their garden hosts a many weddings.

Too bad, Glen Ivy Springs Hot Springs normally closes at 5pm.

However, it’ll stay open later until 9pm, during Summer. Stay posted for that.

Sigh, Glen Ivy Hot Springs is an oasis for the senses.

Watch Lea Seydoux Time Leap in “The Beast,” a Bio-Electric Feedback of a Movie.

 By Laura Medina



Lea Seydoux proves she got range, playing three different characters in three different time periods while being stuck in a bio-electric feedback loop of never-ending yearning of an unrequited romantic relationship.

Leaping from Belle Epoque to 2014 to 2044, it’s about one woman’s romantic life being reincarnated three times over by the same guy, played by George MacKay.

It’s romance being defined by three different decades and eras, from longing to Incel anger to techno-stalking. This makes it bio-electric feedback loop.


Josh O’ Connor is “La Chimera.”

 By Laura Medina 



After “The Durrell of Corfu” then “The Crown,” actor Josh O’ Connor is “La Chimera.”

In “La Chimera,” his lost character is Arthur Harrison, an archaeologist who slipped into the black market antiquities that form the foundation for museums’ hot antiquities market.

A Chimera is often referred to as a mythical creature with magical powers and skills that normal people don’t have but wish they have. It’s an Italian unicorn.

Since Arthur Harrison has uncanny knack for discovering ancient artifacts and Roman marble statues, his talents and knowledge fuels the hot, black market that does get him in trouble and being taken advantage of, by the local rural rednecks and farmers who actually make money in the black market.

Basically, poor Arthur Harrison is “La Chimera,” a lost English ex-pat who made home as an English transplant in rural Italy.

Winnie Harlow’s Island Glow Smoothie, Sydney Sweeney’s Laneige Firm & Bouncy Face Mask Then Taylor Tomlinson’s @AfterMidnight.

 By Laura Medina




It was a “Girl Glam Slam” week, a triple threat of female empowerment in a trio week of: supermodel, Winnie Harlow, actress/producer/Laneige Ambassador, Sydney Sweeney, and @Aftermidnight’s Taylor Tomlinson on CBS. Taylor is the only female late night host in a field overcrowded with stereotypical white males, interchangeable as the next one. It’s time to be a sore thumb sticking out. 

Winnie Harlow ignited the week, on a Saturday, by debuting her Island Glow Smoothie at Erewhon, next door to a Sephora selling her sunscreens, conveniently. 

She asked this scribe, what her smoothie tastes like? This scribe answered, “pineapple.”

Then on the following Monday, hundred fans lined up then curled around the corner, at Laneige’s The Grove pop-up, for rising star, Sydney Sweeney.  She’s Laneige’s brand ambassador.  Sydney promoted their latest Bouncy & Firm Face Mask by handing it out to the first fifty fans. As an actress/producer who likes to develop then produce books, she likes reading, Sydney is becoming a triple threat on her own feet and hands, in her early twenties.

The next day, Tuesday, the third and final was Taylor Tomlinson, the lone female late-night talk/game show host in a field over-populated by cookie-cutter white male hosts, interchangeable from the next.

Not only does Taylor sticks due to her gender. @AfterMidnight sticks as the only game show airing at 12:30 am, not your canned talk show. The contestants are comedians. With the people and the time slot, it can be a light blue, raunchy, and risqué with a nightclub party atmosphere.

Blue hearts support for Taylor.
