Wilson to launch the new Nurigene Skincare Regimen with a series of pop up beauty events featuring free in-depth skin consultations and product demonstrations. Recommended to by a longtime friend and Walgreens pharmacist, Wilson has been a satisfied customer of the scientifically-based skin care regimen for months and has recently signed on as the brand’s official spokesperson.

On Thursday, September 15, 2011, and Friday, September 16, 2011, Sheree will appear at select Walgreens stores in Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach and Boca Raton as an in-store Nurigene skincare specialist.

Drag Diva to Assist Palace Chef During Pride Month’s Culinary Demonstration

In conjunction with what has come to be known as “Pride Month,” Bloomingdale’s in the Aventura Mall presents “Cooking with Pride,” a culinary demonstration, on Saturday, June 11 at 1 pm.

Victor Cardenas Pasos of the Palace, Ocean Drive’s first and only gay restaurant/bar, will utilize Bloomingdale’s state-of-the-art cookware and equipment as he demonstrates preparation of two of the Palace’s favorite dishes. One of the Palace’s legendary drag divas will assist Victor, making for a unique and entertaining presentation. The event is free and open to the public, and all who attend will be able to sample the fare and receive a copy of the recipes.

The month of June commemorate Gay Pride throughout the U.S. and beyond, as it was in June of 1969 that police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York’s Greenwich Village — an event that is credited with sparking the movement for LGBT rights in the United States. In an unprecedented show of solidarity, the Stonewall patrons and supporters rose up in protest, resulting in several days of riots in the streets to protest discrimination against the LGBT community.

As chef of the Palace on South Beach for more than two years, Victor prepares or oversees preparation of approximately 700 meals per week. A native of Mexico, he studied Culinary Arts in Yucatan, with a specialty in Italian fare and seafood. Prior to joining the Palace, Victor had worked at the Hyatt Resort in Cancun and Quattro on Miami Beach.

Now in its 23rd year, the Palace is the first and only gay restaurant on Ocean Drive. Located at 1200 Ocean Drive in the heart of the Art Deco District, Palace’s legacy of infamous weekend drag shows, Sunday “Brunchic” and luscious libations prevails today. Crowds gather to watch the drag shows taking place right on the sidewalk, and tour buses often stop so that passengers may enjoy the show!

From Michael Capponi:
Please come support our Helping Haiti Fundraiser this Thursday at Gallery Art, we desperately need your support to keep this mission alive!

With your support, we have been able to provide food, tents, water, medical supplies and sustainable housing for the people of camp Belvil, since that tragic day. As most of you already know, we have moved 22 families to our new humanitarian village in Jacmel, Haiti. The families of this camp are celebrating and thankful for the opportunity to live a better life. We have been able to provide sustainable housing for each family and have enrolled over 35 children in Jacmel’s advanced school system.

I am hoping this fundraiser will be able to raise the necessary funds to continually support these families and provide the same opportunity for various families still in need. I have been working with the non-profit Lageho and Ken Hendel, in organizing an Art Exhibit and Fundraiser to help keep this mission alive!

Please join me tomorrow night at Gallery Art in the Promenade shops in Aventura. The doors open at 7pm. I hope you will stop by for a cocktail and a bite to eat. You’ll be able to show your support by adopting a family, purchasing the featured art or simply participating in the live auction and raffle. 100% of all proceeds benefit our mission for the people Haiti.

Equinox Fitness Club Plants a Tree for Every New Member in Celebration of Earth Day

Nationwide, Equinox is taking an extra step in initiating conservation by planting a tree for every new member who signs-up that day. Guests can indulge in complimentary organic cocktails, tea and snacks compliments of Honest Tea and Veev Organic Vodka. Additionally, participants are treated to 10% off of Equinox Orange Label organic products available at The Shop at Equinox.

Equinox Fitness Club has taken a corporate-wide stance to enhance its member’s experiences and to help protect and preserve the environment. The company plans to build new clubs incorporating many of the eco-friendly features of its first “green” club Equinox W. 17th Street, New York City – and to retro-fit existing clubs with as many as possible. These include, but are not limited to:
· “Green” cleaning solutions that are environmentally benign and virtually fume-free. Many of Equinox’s existing gyms have already been cleaning with them
· Select building materials, such as adhesives, sealants, and paint will have minimal or zero VOC content
· State of the art air filtration systems that will extra-thoroughly “clean” outdoor air before pulling it inside the club
· No-brainer recycling opportunities by providing numerous and conveniently placed storage and collection areas for recyclable items
· More efficient H²0 flow with locker rooms being outfitted with special showerheads that are designed to create the experience of a 3 to 4 gallon per minute shower but actually only use 1.6 gallons per minute
· Power savers include special dimming technologies will lower electric lighting levels when there is a lot of natural day light and raise them when there isn’t
· All clubs lighting (except for emergency and night lighting) will be time-clock controlled to turn it off when the club is closed

Work in unison for the betterment of your life – and our planet!

Aventura Mall’s Chocolate Festival
Sunday, October 5 from noon to 4 p.m.

You won’t be able to resist the incredible chocolate delicacies at Aventura Mall when the mall hosts its first ever Chocolate Festival.

The event is the creation of Chef Rick Chiavari of Porto Vita and Aventura Mall. Chef Rick’s nephew was born with a rare facial deformity, and he was moved by the care and support the CCA provided for his nephew and his family.
