well at only $8.99 per piz-

za.

5 Genius Weekend

Beauty Treatments

By Fashion & Beauty Editor Audreana Lang

After a grueling work week, the weekend is a welcome op-

portunity to relax, hang out with friends or do some laun-

dry. But, if you can also squeeze in these quick and simple

beauty treatments you’ll see major improvements in your

skin and hair by Monday!

1. For Younger-Looking Skin: Try that new spin class

you’ve been meaning to take this Saturday. Aside from the

obvious tummy-flattening and mood-boosting benefits,

working out also minimizes wrinkles.

Why? Exercise helps support the production of collagen,

which keeps your skin smooth and firm. Just don’t blame us

if your coworkers start demanding your skin care secret at

work this week.

Highlights Hit the gym to minimize wrinkles. Stash your eye cream in the fridge to reduce under-eye puffiness. Apply a nourishing avocado hair mask to repair dryness, breakage, and dullness.

2. For Thicker Hair: Treat your scalp to a massage, which promotes blood circulation,

stimulating hair follicles and eventually boosting your strand count. Start with your normal

shampooing routine in the shower on Saturday night and gently knead and rake your fingers

over your scalp for about 30 seconds. Repeat Sunday night and as often as possible for fuller

hair.

3. For Brighter Eyes: Look for an eye treatment with caffeine on the ingredients list like Bliss

Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Eye Gel and stash it in the fridge this weekend. The cold

constricts blood vessels, reducing under-eye puffiness, while the caffeine detoxifies the thin

skin under your eyes, breaking up the baggage. Dab - don't rub - the cream onto your under-eye

area as soon as you get out of bed Saturday and Sunday to look more awake on Monday.

4. For Glowing Skin: On Sunday night, mix a pinch of turmeric with 2 tablespoons of ma-

nuka honey in a small cup, advises Jolie Martin, director and laser skin care specialist at Skin-

ney Medspa in New York City. “Apply the mask to your face and neck to stimulate blood flow,

draw out toxins, lighten dark spots, and kill bacteria,” she ex-

plains. Leave the mixture on your face for 15 minutes for radiant

skin all week.

5. For Shinier, Stronger Hair: Show your hair some love on

Sunday night with a nourishing avocado hair mask that’ll repair

dryness, breakage, and dullness. You can try a DIY version by

mashing up the entire fruit, combing it through your hair in the

shower, leaving it on for 10 minutes, and rinsing it out with your

favorite shampoo. Or, opt for a store-bought version like Kiehl’s

Olive Fruit Oil Deeply Repairative Hair Pak, which is laced with

avocado oil that will leave your hair soft and manageable

throughout your 40-hour work week.

1. You Must Eat Less

Some diets may focus less on calorie counting, but the truth is you must eat less if you

really want to lose weight.

Losing weight starts with a simple calorie deficit.

You can create a deficit by simply

eating less total food, or by ex-

ercising more. A deficit of 500 cal-

ories per day over the course of one

week is 3,500 calories, or one

pound of fat! The more of a defi-

cit you create, the more weight loss

you will experience.

How do you know if you are eat-

ing less? Calories should be set be-

tween 10 to 12 times your body-

weight, depending on how much

weight you need to lose and how

much activity you do on a daily

basis. Don’t just consider your

exercise routine, but also the

exercise you do outside of the

gym .

2. Structure

Although some people don’t like the word structure when it comes to diet, every

successful diet has some. Even flexible diets have structure. Whether it’s the amount

of calories you are eating or the amount of each macronutrient you are taking in, these are

parameters that will lead to success. By keeping track of what you are eating, including

calories and the amount of protein, carbs and fats, you can make appropriate adjustments

when something is not going right. Structure to a diet plan can also ensure that you stick

with it. It’s hard to maintain your results. When you first start on any diet plan, you will

need to eat less and be restrictive with your choices, but once you have reached your ideal

weight, it is possible to eat a little more.

Remember that if you were dieting, it probably will not be possible to maintain your top

conditioning 365 days per year, but you should aim to maintain your weight within 10

pounds. Slowly start to add calories back into your diet—

4. Eliminate the Junk Food

The occasional cheat on junk food is a giv-

en when it comes to any diet, but the ma-

jority of the time junk food should be elim-

inated. Junk food doesn’t provide good nu-

trition because it’s loaded in sugar, fat or

both, and not much of anything else, so it’s

easy to see why junk food should not be

included as part of your diet.

If you are new to following a

structured, clean eating plan,

don’t go cold turkey!

Instead, ease off your bad eating ways by eliminating the junk food slowly. Limit

yourself to once per week. Come your cheat day, don’t go overboard and eat back

all the calories you eliminated. Instead, pick one or two of your favorites, or one

cheat meal.

By giving yourself a treat here and there, you will be less likely to go off your

diet completely, and feel much more satisfied with your new diet plan. It’s also

been shown that the occasional bad eating can help increase your metabolism and

keep it from down-regulating. This is called

“Adaptive Thermogenesis,”

which is when your body gets accustomed to the low calories you are eating and

starts to plateau, slowing your metabolism and storing or maintaining your body

in the same state. Busting out of this plateau can be as easy as having the occa-

sional cheat meal, so don’t be scared to give in every once in a while.

5. Maintenance Plan for Life

The ideal diet should

essentially become a

way of life.

It shouldn’t be so

restrictive that it’s

difficult to stick to or

it makes it

3. More Protein, Healthy Fats and Fiber

A diet that is focused on

building a healthy lean body

should be high in protein,

provide a moderate amount of

healthy fats and at least 25

grams of fiber every day.

As a general rule, follow a

diet that provides at least 1 to

1.5 grams of protein from lean

sources that are high in all the

essential amino acids,

including poultry, whole eggs,

lean cuts of red meat and non-

fat dairy like whey protein.

Protein is a necessary

nutrient for building muscle,

maintaining muscle and

assisting in recovery.

It’s also highly thermogenic,

which means eating it actually

burns calories!

Many people think they

should skip over the fat when

it comes to a diet, but this is

far from the truth. Fat is

essential for balancing

hormones and can even play a

role in helping preserve

muscle.

Lastly, a good diet will have a

whole of lot of fiber. Fiber

from fruit, vegetables, nuts,

seeds and whole grains is

important for maintaining a

healthy gut, and removing

toxins from the body. Diets

that are high in fiber can also

help reduce appetite and blood

sugar levels. Most successful

diets focused on building a

lean body provide about 40 to

50 percent protein, 30 to 20

percent carbs and fats.

By making slow adjustments you will be less likely to fall off your plan completely and fall back into old habits. Aim

for eating calories at about 12 to 15 times your new bodyweight, based again on your activity level and your new

metabolic rate.

“Life's better wearing Old Gringo“ Distressed leathers and vintage finishes make the Old Gringo Luxury leather outerwear line

a favorite of those who love edgy style with a tailored European fit. Old Gringo Jackets pro-

vide top quality styling that never compromises traditional craftsmanship.

Since the year 2000, handcrafted leather

boots have been Ernie Tarut ("the Old Gringo")

and Yan Ferry's passion. The result of this

collaboration combined Ernie Tarut's 30 years

of leather manufacturing experience and Yan

Ferry's 30 years of European design and boot

making mastery under one roof creating foot-

wear of superior and unique style and quality.

It is from this passion that Old Gringo pushes

the traditional western envelope with artisan

handcrafted boots and outer wear that captures

vintage charm and contemporary styles.

Old Gringo's domestic and international

customer base consists of women and men who

are fashion focused and career minded. They

demand unique footwear and luxury leather

goods that represent Vintage, Contemporary,

Rock Star and European style.

100% of our boots are HANDCRAFTED in

our own factory in Leon, Mexico. Currently the

Old Gringo factory employs over 250 people

and covers over 40,000 square feet.

Our distinctive style makes us a life style

brand with a vast following unlike the average

"cowboy boot" company. This distinctive style

cultivates the cross pollination of fashion and

western markets. "It is and always will be about

making the right pair of boots. You know those

boots you always turn to and never want to take

off?" commented Tarut.

Uber Ride Service Anyone who has spent

time in larger cities such as New York or San

Francisco knows how easy it is to get around.

Either through public transportation, a cab,

bike sharing programs, buses and other forms

of public transit. There are a number of

options when it comes to getting from Point

A to Point B. In Stockton and Lodi, however,

if you want to get somewhere, taking your

own car is almost always your only choice.

Uber is now open for business in the

Stockton and Lodi area.

This is how it works. This service provides a

ride to your destination through a private

driver service made possible by smart

phones.

Uber has become a quite a hit with residents

as well as tourists and busy professionals in

nearly every major city inside and outside the

U.S.

Uber provides a new, more convenient way

to get around if they are planning a fun night

out and don’t want to drive or just need a ride

somewhere.


Uber Service in Stockton & Lodi

Uber is made possible by downloading

the smart phone ap called “Uber Taxi”.

Using a smart phone app, riders can locate Uber

drivers in their vicinity, pick the driver they want,

and wait to be whisked away to their preferred

destination.

The drivers arrive in their personal vehicle and

have gone through backgrounds checks prior to

being able to provide services. Once you have set

up your account and plugged in your credit card

the payment , including the tip is linked to your

Uber account. Once you reach final destination,

all you have to do is get out...

No money exchanged!

Some additional Info on Uber

Uber has three levels of car services,

starting with UberBLACK and UberSUV,

which are more premium services that cost

more to use.

Lodi and Stockton have started out only

with the company’s UberX feature, which

is a much more affordable ridesharing

service that allows anyone with a car, a

license and insurance (and passing a

background check) the ability to turn their

personal ride into a taxi. In return, the

drivers get a chunk of the profit.

According to the drivers we spoke to, there

is never any shortage of drivers in the cities

they have launched in, and the Stockton

and Lodi should be no different. As the

market in area progresses, Uber could

expand service to include all three car

types.

It's very simple.. Just download the Uber

Taxi ap in your smart phone and within

minutes you're ride can be on it's way.

So Cheers to Uber and we hope you will

try and enjoy the service!

The new service is a potential game chang-

er for residents. Stockton and Lodi have

long been a cities where you can only real-

ly get around with your own personal car.

There is very limited taxi services, and bus-

es don’t reach everyone at convenient

times or locations, especially at night.

With the introduction of Uber, you can

head to the downtown for a movie, dinner,

a Port’s baseball game or out for a

beverage on the Miracle Mile and not have

to worry about battling for parking of

having too much to drink.

Style of Lodi Put Uber To The Test

Our editors recently tried the Uber ride

service for several weeks in a row to see

how the service works and how dependable

and consistent it really was.

We planned our evening in downtown Lodi

both times, obtaining a ride to and from our

night out. The experience was pleasant and

the rides all came within 5-10 minutes of

our request. Clean cars and friendly drivers

etc. The rates were below $10 total for a

ride from our home to the downtown area.

Our past experience with the one cab in

Lodi was a $10 cost for only one way. Ub-

er proved to be less than half the cost.

Overall a Great Experience!

Uber Service in Stockton & Lodi

Pets are an important part of so many

people's lives. They each have their own

unique personalities and bring happiness

and love into our lives and families.

In this issue of Style of Your City Maga-

zines, we asked our readers to share their

story and send in pictures and the story of

their best friend and how they have enrich

their lives.

Anna & "Cali"

You should see the difference from earlier this year. Anna was not planning on getting a

dog! Cali & Anna... its LOVE! Anna lost her two senior babies right now, but then saw

Cali's picture at Stockton impound. She was sad and scared and alone and Anna's kind

heart reached out to take her in and saved her life. Very hard on the scared ones to get

adopted. They named her Cali, as she reminded them of a California girl! She is now

Cali girl! She is HOME!

The Kane Family & “Kane”

The Kanes of Angels Camp have appropriately

adopted the pup named “Kane”, that was obviously

just meant to be! Karlee shared, “I want to give a dog

a better life than its had. I want to give a dog a life it

deserves. All animals deserve a home and family for

a lifetime and I can give that to a dog/puppy. My

husband and I have been wanting another dog for a

long time. We just bought another home that has 30

acres. We have been looking for a dog that will be

our companion and enjoy living on a ranch while be-

ing able to cuddle up in our home. This breed of dog

is perfect for us and our family. And getting a

young dog allows him to grow and learn on our

ranch.

My small family is finally ready to add a new member to our family. We have been

patiently waiting till the time would be right. The time is right, now that we own

our new home with 30 acres a new puppy can run around and play with us and be

able to do the things he was bred to do. Now the time is right we finally found the

right puppy. We can't wait to welcome Kane to our Kane Family." Happy Happy

Day for the Border Collie babies!
