The America’s Cup, a race for excellence and greatness since 1851

In 1851 a radical looking schooner ghosted out of the afternoon mist and swiftly sailed past the Royal Yacht stationed in the Solent, between the Isle of Wight and the south coast of England, on an afternoon when Queen Victoria was watching a sailing race. As the schooner, named America, passed the Royal Yacht in first position, and saluted by dipping its ensign three times, Queen Victoria asked one of her attendants to tell her who was in second place.”Your Majesty, there is no second,” came the reply. That phrase, just four words, is still the best description of the America’s Cup, and how it represents the singular pursuit of excellence.

Having a natural and healthy skin is the basis of any beauty ritual. So it is not only about what you put on your skin but also how you treat yourself from a lifestyle point of view. Here is a clever infographics about essential tips to keep a clean and healthy skin.
Product Free Beauty Fixes Created By: Ogle School
If you have issues in terms of skin, you better start paying attention to how you life your life. To summarize:

1. Drink lots of water. You’ve likely heard this all your life, but there’s a reason this advice never goes out of style. Your skin is made up of cells, which are made up of water. And if you don’t get enough water, neither does your skin, resulting in dehydration and possible wrinkles. Water also washes out toxins, which can contribute to acne, and aids in cell regeneration.

2. Eat a good diet. Avoiding hormone-laden, fatty, sugary or processed foods can make a big difference in blemish-prone skin. And including lots of vitamin-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, fish, eggs and whole grains can add defensive antioxidants to your body, resulting in clearer, brighter skin.

3. Get your exercise. Regular physical exercise — resulting in a good sweat — is not only beneficial to your figure, it’s great for your complexion as well. When you sweat, your pores open up and release accumulated dirt. Sweating also rids your body of toxins, which aids in clearing your skin. Just don’t forget to wash your face after you sweat in order to make sure the bad stuff is fully rinsed away!

4. And exercise your face! Performing a few easy facial exercises — dubbed “face yoga” — six days a week for about 20 minutes at a time is a non-invasive alternative to anti-aging regimes such as BOTOX. The exercises, performed by making various faces and smoothing with fingertips, “work out” all layers of your skin and are designed to improve everything from eye bags to loose jowls. Will it work as fast as BOTOX? That’s the catch — no, but you can expect to see cumulative results after a couple months.

5. Always wash with lukewarm water. Splashing your face with hot water can strip natural oils, while temperature extremes in either direction (hot or cold) can simply exacerbate irritation and possible outbreaks. Use the level of “lukewarm” that is most comfortable for you, but don’t veer too far to the blue or red range of temperature. If you love the feeling of cold water against your skin, it’s OK to do a cool final rinse.

Last but not least, do not forget that the best beauty treatment you could get is a good night sleep. Sleeping at least 7 to 8 hours is a must to keep your health in a great level and you will see. Your hair and your skin will look younger.

When it comes to beauty bloggers, 2 main categories dominates the scene: make-up and nail-art. These two segments from the beauty industry became true online phenomenons. These 2 categories are also driving sales and sales growth in the entire industry, so any key influencer on make-up and nail-art is a person who potentially can mean a lot of money to brands.

There are hotels that represent a good place to stay and there are palaces that you need to stay at least once in your lifetime. And one of these unique places is the Fairmont Montreux Palace in Switzerland. This 5 stars hotel has an amazing reputation and is a place for great holidays as well as business trips. Placed in the heart of Montreux, this beautiful city by the shores of Lake Geneva, the Fairmont Montreux Palace offers one of the best stays in the region. Every summer, Montreux gets funky thanks to the Montreux Jazz festival.

Amazing musicians, music groups and literally Rock stars come to Montreux and play their very best music to the joy of the festival participants. So for the time of a music festival, the Fairmont Montreux Palace become the world HQ for great artists. From Tony Bennett, to Lenny Kravitz, Toto, Portishead, Lionel Ritchie and
others.

The Fairmont Montreux Palace, a place to be since 1906

Montreux is a very charming place by the lake Geneva in Switzerland. It offers a great microclimate and the access to an amazing region full of natural richness and breathtaking landscapes. 2 people made Montreux famous. The first one was Rousseau, the French politician and philosopher. By the end of the 18th century he placed the scenery of his novel “La nouvelle Héloise” in Montreux. The second person was Lord Byron. The 19th century rediscovered the joys of being in the mountains. While big important cities were devastated by diseases, lack of hygiene and robery, people would escape to the mountains in order to discover a healthier environment. The 19th century also represented the birth period for Romanticism in literature, music and arts. Mountains and nature were a great source of inspiration for artists and Lord Byron was one of the leaders of this movement. He wrote a poem called “The Prisoner of Chillon”, in respect to the Chillon Castle close by Montreux.

Today, if you visit the castle you can still see a “B” engraved in one of the Castle pillars, done by Lord Byron himself. Thanks to this amazing advertising for the small alpine city, tourism started booming around 1850 and by the end of the 19th century, Montreux was known everywhere of the modern world.

In 1881, Alexandre Emery and Ami Chessex, buy the Hotel du Cygne and after some rework and building up new parts, the Montreux Palace was born. We were March 19th 1906. The new hotel was the place where rich, famous and powerful people from around the world would meet: rich American bankers, European aristocrats, Russian princes and even Indian Maharajahs. Everybody would come to Montreux Palace.

The Fairmont Montreux Palace today

After a long period during the 2 world wars, Montreux got back its farniente and collness thanks to the Montreux Jazz Festival founded in 1967 by Claude Nobs, Geo Voumard and René Lange. Since then, every year music artists come from all over the world to perform their best music. And all these happy people stay at the Montreux Palace. Since 2006, the Montreux Palace joined the Fairmont leading hotels and spa group and gained prestige and international dimension. The hotel became a leading reference, so there is always something going on there. This year, thanks to the Montreux Jazz Festival, you could meet in the lift Steven Lukathen, guitarist of Toto, Lenny Kravitz or even Lionel Ritchie group. With its 236 rooms and suites, restaurants, bars and spa, your stay will be as elegant as comfortable.

The luxury environment, the healthy landscape brought many celebrities to the hotel that built its reputation decade after decade. To quote some of them:

Marcel Proust meets Anne de Noailles
Zanzibar Sultan meets the Maharadja of Kapurthala or the Queen of Portugal
The Shah of Persia meets King Faycal from Iran
Sacha Guitry meets several lovers
The Sublime Greta Garbo meets Maurice Chevallier. Love is in the air

Year after year celebrities from all over the world met at Hotel Royal. In 2003, Jacques Chirac held the powerful G8 summit, so the entire world met in Evian. This amazing aura irradiates since then and is still part of the luxury palace heritage. The 5-star hotel enjoys a privileged location, a natural setting with breathtaking views of Lake Geneva.

Until October 18th, the Geneva Botanic garden presents a very interesting exhibition called Plants and Spirituality. Since man is man, he always used plants in order to better connect to something greater than him. From Religion to chamanism, the Geneva Botanic garden proposes a journey across time and space. The visitor will be able to discover this new exhibition as well as re-discover the Botanic garden itself.

Geneva Botanic garden, a trip around the world

Placed in an amazing location of 28ha, the Geneva Botanic garden offers a journey across 5 continents and more than 12’000 species of plants, trees, bushes and other flowers grouped in almost 250 different families. It was created in 1817 by Augustin Pyrame de Candolle in the former Bastions park. The Botanic garden is also a place for scientific research. Its “herbier” has more than 6 million samples and the library has basically all print documents about botany since the 18th century! The herbier is placed in a 3-floor underground installation with more than 18km of shelves. The Geneva herbier is considered as one of the most extensive collections in the world. It was an amazing work of collection, classification and conservation, all available for scientists around the world to visit Geneva and keep moving forward with their scientific research. Family friendly, the gardens were organized to provide a full experience while discovering each mini-landscape from around the world.

A restaurant proposes nice meals and even a Sunday Brunch. Ideal for children, there is everything there to have fun and learn something clever.

Since January 1st 2015, the Geneva Botanic garden became a 100% organic garden, respecting all rules from the Swiss Label for organic culture BIOSUISSE. It was a huge amount of work to accomplish such thing and keeping an economic and scientific interest. It was accomplished by the new Gardener chief Nicolas Freyre and the garden Director Pierre-André Loizeau. Geneva has the first public garden that respects the Swiss label conditions.

The modern world makes us sometimes forget that we are connected to nature as part of nature. We get lost among all the technology and the global scale in which we live. Nevertheless, ancient rituals, from religion to philosophies and traditions remind us our place in this world and help us to reconnect with something greater than our own existences. To accomplish such rituals we need often to use plants that will help us to connect to an immaterial world. All types of usages and traditions are displayed. From catholicism to shamanism, it is a true initiation to a spiritual world, a trip that will take us in all parts of the world. From the Ayahuasca in Latin America to the IBoga in Africa, some plants are very powerful and only initiated people can handle them carefully.

if you are passing by Geneva, this exhibition is well worth it, especially during hot summer days where the refreshing shadows of the Botanic garden are a true delight.
