Hollywood truly is an exclusive club, a world unto it’s own. It’s a simple fact that celebrities and most of the people working in the entertainment industry are privy to beauty and health secrets the rest of the world are not. This is because they often travel to exotic places, have carte blanche access to the leaders and innovators in every beauty and health related field, and of course have almost unlimited financial resources to obtain the very best.
The latest and the very best of anything runs like lightening through Hollywood as fast as a cell phone call or a text message can be typed. Publicists, agents, stylists, make-up artists, costumers, nutritionists, acupuncturists, plastic surgeons and even masseuses are all part of an extremely powerful Hollywood network. They are the elite possessors of the ultimate knowledge in every beauty and health product available.
And once in awhile there will be a health or beauty item which garners a loud, consistent buzz, quickly peaking the interest of celebrities and all entertainment industry professionals. This usually occurs when a celebrity, or top professional “discovers” a product that really works. When this phenomenon occurs, the excitement becomes almost palatable. And a product or treatment only receives this type of attention when it rises to the top because of quality, effectiveness, sustainability and innovation. Mediocre products or fads simply never hold the interest of a community who are smart and demand the finest. And if you are fortunate enough to be the purveyor of this priceless new information it can mean the key that will usher you or your business into the inner sanctum of the rich and powerful. Being in the vortex of a marvelous new effective health or beauty aid, will at the very least open a multitude of previously locked doors and without question, boost your career several rungs up the golden ladder of success. So the hunt for one of these rare jewels is certainly a quest worthy of effort in Hollywood.
One such remarkable beauty and health product which has recently achieved this coveted status in Hollywood is called Aloeride®. The fundamental ingredient being that ancient beauty and health element, Aloe Vera. What makes this product from England so unique and the very best aloe vera derivative in the world, is the way in which the active ingredients are assimilated into their purest powder form. Many studies have proven that when Aloe Vera gel or liquid comes in contact with the air, it immediately begins a rapid bacterial degradation. This reduces the beauty and nutritional value almost as soon as the top is off the bottle. Not so with Aloeride®. The process by which Aloeride® is created and preserved in a small hypoallergenic capsule then blister foil wrapped, is the secret to it’s preservation and extreme effectiveness. In fact, it has been proven in extensive independent testing that Aloeride® delivers over three-hundred active molecules into your bloodstream, thus directly feeding rich nutrients to each and every cell of your body. It also contains remarkable properties which sooth and heal the intestinal lining, allowing the healthy food you eat to be absorbed and assimilated the way nature intended it. When nutrients are fed more cleanly into the body and individual cells, the body loses its desire to cling to toxins and fats to feed upon. Of course, this is a tremendous side-benefit for those needing to lose weight or keep their weight in check.
And don’t think Hollywood hasn’t discovered the beauty benefits of this amazing little capsule! At Aloeride® they have a skin philosophy: “Your skin is your natural calling card, which shows others how healthy and attractive you are…” And nowhere in the world is this truer than in the Entertainment and Modeling industries. And nowhere in the world is how you look so directly related to your income. And everyone who stands before the intense scrutiny of a camera knows the value of starting with naturally healthy, glowing skin. Bottom line is, Aloeride® is delivering on its promise to provide anti ageing elements, support weight loss and contribute to a very healthy digestive tract, which in turn enhances the healthy natural radiance of the skin. So what does Hollywood know about Health and Beauty that the rest of us don’t? Everything! And what is Hollywood absolutely buzzing about? Aloeride®! This is definitely a secret the rest of the world needs to be in on!

From the National Book Award-winning author of Europe Central comes a charming, evocative and piercing examination of an ancient Japanese tradition and the keys it holds to our modern understanding of beauty....
What is a woman? To what extent is femininity a performance? Writing with the extraordin-ary awareness and endless curiosity that have defined his entire oeuvre, William T. Vollmann takes an in-depth look into the Japanese craft of Noh theater, using the medium as a prism to reveal the conception of beauty itself.
Sweeping readers from the dressing room of one of Japan's most famous Noh actors to a transvestite bar in the red-light district of Kabukicho, Kissing the Mask explores the enigma surrounding Noh theater and the traditions that have made it intrinsic to Japanese culture for centuries. Vollmann then widens his scope to encompass such modern artists of attraction and loss as Mishima, Kawabata and even Andrew Wyeth. From old Norse poetry to Greek cult statues, from Japan's most elite geisha dancers to American makeup artists, from Serbia to India, Vollmann works to extract the secrets of staged femininity and the mystery of perceived and expressed beauty, including explorations of gender at a transgendered community in Los Angeles and with Kabuki female impersonators.
Kissing the Mask is illustrated with many evocative sketches and photographs by the author.

Product Description
The Age of Wonder is a colorful and utterly absorbing history of the men and women whose discoveries and inventions at the end of the eighteenth century gave birth to the Romantic Age of Science.
When young Joseph Banks stepped onto a Tahitian beach in 1769, he hoped to discover Paradise. Inspired by the scientific ferment sweeping through Britain, the botanist had sailed with Captain Cook in search of new worlds. Other voyages of discovery—astronomical, chemical, poetical, philosophical—swiftly follow in Richard Holmes’s thrilling evocation of the second scientific revolution. Through the lives of William Herschel and his sister Caroline, who forever changed the public conception of the solar system; of Humphry Davy, whose near-suicidal gas experiments revolutionized chemistry; and of the great Romantic writers, from Mary Shelley to Coleridge and Keats, who were inspired by the scientific breakthroughs of their day, Holmes brings to life the era in which we first realized both the awe-inspiring and the frightening possibilities of science—an era whose consequences are with us still.Amazon.com Review
Amazon Exclusive: Oliver Sacks on The Age of Wonder
Oliver Sacks is the author of Musicophilia, Awakenings,The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, and many other books, for which he has received numerous awards, including the Hawthornden Prize, a Polk Award, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and lives in New York City, where he is a practicing neurologist. Read his exclusive guest review of The Age of Wonder:
I am a Richard Holmes addict. He is an incomparable biographer, but in The Age of Wonder, he rises to new heights and becomes the biographer not of a single figure, but of an entire unique period, when artist and scientist could share common aims and ambitions and a common language–and together create a “romantic,” humanist science. We are once again on the brink of such an age, when science and art will come together in new and powerful ways. For this we could have no better model than the lives of William and Caroline Herschel and Humphry Davy, whose dedication and scientific inventiveness were combined with a deep sense of wonder and poetry in the universe. Only Holmes, who is so deeply versed in the people and culture of eighteenth-century science, could tell their story with such verve and resonance for our own time.

Think of your local church. Without art--music, song, dance, etc.--it would be a much poorer place. But if protestants have any vision for the arts, it tends to be a thin one. This unique book is an attempt to contribute to a robust, expansive vision for the church and the arts. Its specific aim is to show how the many parts of the landscape of church and art hold together. You can think of it as a kind of helicopter flyover, but one with expert pilots. The guides include the likes of Eugene Peterson, Lauren Winner, Jeremy Begbie, Andy Crouch, and John Witvliet, helping to inspire readers and empower pastor-leaders with a vision of the church and the arts that is compelling, far-seeing, and profoundly transformative.

"Shards of glass can cut and wound or magnify a vision," Terry Tempest Williams tells us. "Mosaic celebrates brokenness and the beauty of being brought together." Ranging from Ravenna, Italy, where she learns the ancient art of mosaic, to the American Southwest, where she observes prairie dogs on the brink of extinction, to a small village in Rwanda where she joins genocide survivors to build a memorial from the rubble of war, Williams searches for meaning and community in an era of physical and spiritual fragmentation.
In her compassionate meditation on how nature and humans both collide and connect, Williams affirms a reverence for all life, and constructs a narrative of hopeful acts, taking that which is broken and creating something whole.

Lead in lipstick? 1,4 dioxane in baby soap? Coal tar in shampoo? How is this possible? Simple. The $35 billion cosmetics industry is so powerful they’ve kept themselves unregulated for decades. Not Just a Pretty Face chronicles the quest that led a group of health and environmental activists to the world’s largest cosmetics companies to ask some tough questions:
- Why do companies market themselves as pink ribbon leaders in the fight against breast cancer, yet use hormone-disrupting and carcinogenic chemicals that may contribute to that very disease?
- Why do products used by men and women of childbearing age contain chemicals linked to birth defects and infertility?
As doors slammed in their faces and the beauty myth peeled away, the industry’s toxic secrets began to emerge. This scathing investigation peels away less-than-lovely layers to expose an industry in dire need of an extreme makeover. The good news is that while the major multinational companies fight for their right to use hazardous chemicals, entrepreneurs are developing safer non-toxic technologies and building businesses on the values of health, justice and personal empowerment.
