Join Us for Our First Wellness Event In Malibu, CA

Well Versed has come a long way since the wellness blog that started in my college dorm room in 2019. Last year, we launched our first printed magazine and this year we are launching our second. Since the summer of 2022, I have been dreaming of hosting a wellness event that brings individuals together in spite of a great cause. Today, I am so excited to announce that Well Versed will be having it’s first in-person wellenss event! Read more to find out deets.

About the event

This event is in celebration of the launch of issue number two of Well Versed Magazine. This issue is all about elevation and empowerment, so what would go better with that than to hold an empowering launch party event? At our event you will kick your week off with a 60-minute grounding yoga practice from certified yoga teacher Kaleena. After our delightful yoga sesh, there will be time for snacks and drinks from some amazing sponsors!

Tickets are priced at $25 and here’s the best part. All profits are going towards the American Heart Association in honor of American Heart Month.

My Heart Story

If you didn’t already know, at three months old, I went through open-heart surgery for Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD). Every year, I give all my gratitude in the world to the two surgeons who were able to perform the life-saving surgery to safely repair my heart. Also to the network of nurses who looked after me pre and post-surgery. There have been many times where I have realized this brand and my life would not be possible if it weren’t for the amazing cardiology team and the amount of support that was available to my family from The American Heart Association. The least I can do is give back to the organization that helped me and my family.

Featured Sponsors

At our event, you will have the opportunity to try some of my all time favorite brands!

Don’t miss out on this beautiful opportunity to give back to a greater cause, indulge in self-care, try some new brands, and support Well Versed as we continue to quickly grow our brand!

Introducing HEIMAT, the World’s First Concept Fitness Club

RSG Group, the global leader in lifestyle and fitness, is proud to announce the opening of HEIMAT, a groundbreaking first-of-its-kind fitness and wellness concept club for those to work, play and simply ‘be’. Translated from German as ‘the feeling of home’, HEIMAT is defined as a state of belonging and carries this very philosophy as Los Angeles’ most holistic respite.

HEIMAT’s Building

Across 75,000 sq ft of real estate, HEIMAT transformed a 1930s industrial building in Hollywood’s Media District into an immaculate structure through thoughtfully sourced marble, woods, and custom forged metals amongst other premium materials. Raw concrete elements and small design touches like original graffiti from street pop artists infuse a clever balance of high design with industrial edge. Original murals on view were commissioned by emerging artists Abel Macias, Jessalyn Brooks and Sophia Dherbecourt to invoke LA’s vibrant cultural topography.

The Luxury Experience

While rooted in fitness, HEIMAT is also fundamentally about nurturing a community and weaving a social element through every member touchpoint. Therefore, it’s no surprise that at HEIMAT group fitness classes are all under one roof. Taught by best-in-class instructors certified the specific discipline they are leading, all memberships will include Cycle, Run, Bootcamp, Barre, Boxing, Dance Cardio, Kinesis, TRX, Yoga (mat & hot) and, uniquely, Reformer Pilates. Rounding out the fitness offerings, HEIMAT has been equipped with custom weight and circuit training machines from gym80, who’s products are world renowned for being aesthetically beautiful while bio-mechanically researched and ergonomically constructed. For cardio, Technogym has provided state-of-art treadmills, ellipticals, rowers and more that can be linked to each member to create individual workouts and track progress.

Once the workout ends, a world-class restaurant, rooftop with pool, jacuzzi, cabanas and an outdoor bar boasting panoramic views of the Hollywood Hills await. A boutique spa features a full range of treatments to pamper while the top floor of the club offers a charming co-working and event space. For gourmands, HEIMAT has partnered with Michelin-starred Chef Michael Mina to debut the globally inspired Mother Tongue, which also serves as the one amenity open to the public inside the club. A juice bar, boutique spa, coworking and event space enhance the member experience while valet parking allows for a seamless arrival and departure experience for guests.

These amenities, combined with a robust calendar of cultural and fitness programming, underscore that at HEIMAT, members can truly have it all.

Summer Health Tips That Will Keep You Glowing

Summer Health Tips That Will Keep You Glowing

Summer is on its way and it is time to start preparing accordingly. With days full of bright sunshine, poolside lounging, and mouth-watering fruits in season, there is a lot to consider when the change of seasons comes upon you. How do you shift your lifestyle for the new hot and steamy season? We are here with the best summer health tips that will keep you glowing from the inside out.

Consume In Season Produce

Your eating habits should shift with the dawn of each season. Some fruits and veggies aren’t always at their prime during certain seasons. During the Summer here are some in season produce items to look for in the grocery store:

Bell peppers
Beets
Blackberries
Blueberries
Chard (late summer)
Corn
Mangos
Raspberries
Spinach
Strawberries
Tomatoes
Watermelons
Zucchini blossoms

Shift Your Supplement Rotation

With higher amounts of sun and warmer weather, your body might need some extra support in the supplement department.

Vitamin C

Warmer weather brings the second most common time for sinus infections. Vitamin C plays an important role in immune health and can help your body stay up to date to fight any infection off.

Vitamin E

With the sun getting stronger it is important to stay protected from the harsh UV rays. Vitamin E protects your skin from harmful damage from the sun. It acts as an antioxidant clearing your body from free radicals.

Bee Pollen

Itchy eyes are no fun in the summer. Taking bee pollen can help in reducing airborne allergies during the hotter months. Grab some at your local Whole Foods and add it to your morning smoothie.

CoQ10

Think of this as a booster for other vitamins. Not only does it aid in digestion and have anti-aging properties, but it maximizes the effects of Vitamin C and Vitamin E. They are the perfect summertime trio.

Use Clean Skincare

With the sun shining extra bright, it is necessary to take precaution to protect your healthy skin. Consider investing in clean bath, body, and skincare products for the summertime. A good product should not be harsh on your skin or clog pores when you’re sweaty. Avoid chemicals in skincare and stick to paraben-free, natural ingredients.
