This week I buzzed down to Newport Beach for the annual in-person lecture series by the Osmosis Team.

She also does the bi-monthly online sessions (this year we’ve already covered…

No better time to focus on our breath than Spring … my phlegm phactory wants to kick into high gear just thinkin’ about all the pollen. So the next be well {groomed!} breathwork sesh will begin on the vernal equinox, March 20, 2023. During the last round of breathwork, one of the participants emailed me:…

You feel the benefits right away: instant gratification is the name of this game. Do you ever find you’re deep in a project, checking your phone, and…

In the world of skincare, one trend reigns supreme: Vitamin A serums to strengthen, nourish, rejuvenate and smooth skin. And when it comes to superb VA serums that give results without the downsides and contraindications, I go for the Osmosis Vitamin A serums: Calm, Correct, Renew.
