Beauty on Ice: Cold & Thirsty
One of the latest trends in beauty may be a little surprising, since it involves standing nearly naked in a chamber with temperatures as low as -240 F. Cryotherapy was originally developed in Japan and then studied in Europe before coming to the US. Cold & Thirsty is LA’s second location (and first on the Westside) offering sessions in a whole body cryosauna.
In addition to sessions of two minutes (or up to three) in the inflammation-reducing cold therapy chamber, Cold & Thirsty also offers organic cold-pressed juices and nut milk shakes by Renew Juicery and Mylk served in inert glass bottles. The blends with anti-inflammatory superfoods and medicinal herbs such as turmeric, astragalus, chaga, maca, and more. They can be purchased singly or in cleanse packages. Don’t miss the the subtle flavors of the lavender nut milk.
Chill out for the sake of beauty at the unique wellness designation created by Renew Juicery and Mylk creator Brooke Rewa and her business partner and cyrotherapy enthusiast Katie Kaufman. Cold &Thirsty, 12460 W Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90066. coldandthirsty.com

Spa, Wellness, and Travel
Tiffany Caronia was initially lured to the mat by yoga’s physical benefits, but she soon discovered the profound impact the practice of yoga had on her overall well-being. Working as a publicist for over 10 years, Tiffany immediately noticed the practice’s invaluable effects- reduced anxiety, relief from depression, improved focus, more contentment and acceptance for what is. The practice of yoga quickly became a way of life for Tiffany and she was inspired to share its benefits with others.
Tiffany has studied extensively with Annie Carpenter, holding an advanced certification in Carpenter’s SmartFLOW Yoga methodology. She has also studied yoga therapy at Loyola Marymount University and continues to practice and study with teacher Alexandria Crow. Tiffany’s alignment and anatomically driven classes teach students to move slowly and mindfully. By instructing students how to move into the poses, she teaches them to move with intention and focus their attention so that they can make wise decisions based on the present moment. It’s this skill of concentration — cultivated on the yoga mat — that students can take into their daily lives so they can live with more clarity, awareness and maybe even a little more ease.
