Growth Mindset for Math

Image
After being introduced to open-ended questions in math about two years ago, I was sold on how powerful they can be in the classroom, but it can be difficult to create high quality questions.  Jo Boaler at Stanford has created an excellent site called " YouCubed " that has a wealth of activities for all ages that are engaging, open-ended, and for all levels.   You can search activities and tasks on the site in many ways (grade level, topic, etc.), but I especially love going to Grade -> "Low floor, high ceiling" tasks.  These are perfect for engaging students of all levels in the same room.  Go ahead, explore, and try some new things in the classroom!

WHAT IS MADONNA DOING TO HER HANDS?

Image
Photo Courtesy Second City Style At this very moment the internet is going crazy over Madonna's unveiling of her hands since generally she has them gloved or creatively concealed. Hands can be one of those tough areas to treat that may give away a woman's age no matter how young the rest of her face, neck or body may look. Lots of things can be done with hands, but the most popular options are chemical peels, fillers and laser. My customers will do a detox mask on their hands, add gentlewaves light therapy and then add a water and oil soluble vitamin C called Radical C by Liquid Gold .  Page 39 of Aesthetics Journal magazine is EXACTLY what the Queen of Pop allegedly has done with her hands. It's called Redermalization with a series of products called Xela Rederm. https://issuu.com/aestheticsjournal/docs/aesthetics_february_2016 I will elaborate on this post later, but since most of the treatments I know of are practiced in the UK the jury of this procedure is still out wit...

ONE EASY WAY TO FIX OR PREVENT HAIR LOSS

Image
Once again we're back to circulation. When we stress out our bodies have an automatic shut off system giving minimal blood supply from the neck on up. The blood carries nutrients to our brains. This lack of blood supply from stress can cause memory issues and hair loss among many other problems. Rubbing the nape of the neck and giving yourself a long scalp massage can help increase blood flow and circulation to the scalp allowing the nutrients to get to where they need to go. You don't need to be anywhere special to do your own neck massages. I find massages while sitting in front of the computer can be a very convenient time to remember to increase circulation to the brain. Keep  in mind not all hair loss is stress-related. It can be hormonal, thyroid, traction alopecia (from hair being pulled too tight) hereditary or also caused by hair products plugging up your scalp. There is also speculation that the same mites (demodex mites) that may cause rosacea could cause hair loss. ...

HOW TO FIX OR PREVENT SAGGING SKIN

 PHOTO CREDIT: DEBBIE EGAN-CHIN/NY DAILY NEWS FEATURING MATT DIAZ Gravity can be cruel... and my last 20 years have been about creating the illusion of defying gravity on models and celebs through makeup artistry or by actually reversing years on customers with special cellular treatments (despite what Sir Isaac Newton has to say about it). People that age are not the only ones with the issue of sagging skin. Those who experience rapid and extreme weight loss can also deal with several pounds of sagging skin that never seems to bounce back. In the image above a young, 22 year old Matt Diaz from Brooklyn had lost 270 lbs. Eventually he had such an excessive amount of skin as a result of his weight loss that he felt most comfortable having it surgically removed. You can read more about his journey in the Daily News HERE.   I had tried to reach out to Matthew last year when he bravely exposed himself while trying to crowd fund his surgery. I tried to explain to him that he's...

THE REAL KOREAN BEAUTY SECRET ISN'T 12 STEPS

KOREAN BEAUTY IN THE MEDIA Have you felt a little bombarded by Korean beauty products in the media lately? Even Estee Lauder is inking a deal with Dr. Jart+ at this very moment to get in on the Korean action.  I'm here to briefly debunk and demystify a little about Korea and extrapolate the stuff you really need to know! KOREAN BEAUTY PRODUCTS Most of the products that make it to the US from South Korea are cute toys and gimmicks. The cosmetics definitely don't outperform MAC,  Make Up Forever or Nars- they're just fun.  The Japanese still rule liners and even Korean Cult brand Clio licenses their Kill Black Liner Formula from Japan. Smart move Korea. What makes a few Korean products really so wonderful is their skincare is generally safer than Indie Brands in the US, solves a problem and get you a LOT of bang for your buck. What might cost $200 in the United States or Europe is $40 (or less) in Korea and now in the states. There are some smaller brands in Korea that have...

LUNCHTIME FACELIFT- LONGTIME PROBLEMS?

Image
 (Photo courtesy Gawker.com) The other day a stunning woman in her 60's dropped in for a consult. She was a client I had seen years ago before she left the Big Apple. She knew her skin had taken a turn for the worst when she came to see me, but I had waited for her to say it first. It's hard to imagine this woman being anything other than beautiful, but the skin on her neck was the hard to look at as a professional because it was just hanging (eluding to her being older than she really is). Nothing that a turtleneck or scarf won't cover, but she normally lives in a climate filled with bathing suits and works in an industry where appearances matter. Her skin had certainly never looked this thin or fragile before. She had finally admitted to getting Ultherapy, a very hot, non-ablative (non-surgical) device that uses heat to tighten in the collagen. As I've mentioned before most of the time customers don't realize that many of these hot devices are also excellent for m...

Natural Make Up for Natural Beauty

Natural beauty is an asset. Though, to be beautiful is not expensive. It is all free. It is all owned by all women in the world.
