A new beauty treatment can accelerate cell turnover and detoxify pores for a brighter and clearer look. But you knew that. What's surprising is that the effects go beyond skin deep, rejuvenating your mind and instilling a sense of confidence that shows up on your face. "When you actively seek out and try something in the interest of looking your best, you raise your self-esteem and lower stress levels — which are both ways to generate radiance," says Dr. Amy Wechsler, a psychiatrist and dermatologist in New York City.

Brides
While there are so many fab ways to throw a bachelorette party these days, a pool and spa weekend getaway is a classic bachelorette combo with good reason. Everyone in the bride's tribe will appreciate a little R&R; a more low-key pace means more quality hang time with the bride-to-be; and a gorgeous pool is always a solid choice for a bachelorette ensemble photo-op.

It's great that hotels around the world are increasingly focusing on wellness, fitness and catering to the active traveler, even when she (or he) is traveling on business or a less active vacation. It's a subject I that's been covered several times in this column, as major American hotel companies, such as Hilton and Westin, have rolled out new fitness-oriented products and offerings. But this trend is not limited to American brands, and the most recent news comes out of Bangkok, Thailand, headquarters of Anantara Hotels and Resorts.

In some ways, insecurity is just as central to modern beauty industry profits as BB creams and matte lips. Making women feel as if they're not good enough is central to the sale of all those two- and three-figure backlit skin creams, all of which come in tiny opaque bottles and promise to contain at least a touch of Aphrodite's magic.
More than one-third of women over 60 say they've used these anti-aging products in the last three months, and the industry is expected to be worth nearly $11 billion by 2018.

Delivering great customer experiences doesn't just happen within one department of your organization. It happens when everyone from the CEO to product development, the sales team and customer service reps understands their purpose in the business. More importantly, they understand how that purpose benefits customers. It happens when customer experience is recognized as the most important component of business success.

Growth is a tonic for most companies. It attracts talent and creates strategic options while generating financial resources to fund new moves — provided the growth is profitable. It's also been harder to come by over the past decade, as a sluggish macroeconomic environment and accelerating, technology-driven disruption have ratcheted up pressure on businesses.
Digital technologies and the pace of competition, however, also open new avenues to organic growth for those companies that have the capabilities and dexterity to take advantage of them.

 If you ask anyone under the age of 13 what the symbol "#" is, they'll unanimously say "hashtag." 10 years ago this week, the pound sign was officially rebranded as the hashtag, thanks to Twitter. On Aug. 23, 2007, Chris Messina, a former Google employee, tweeted, "How do you feel about using # (pound) for groups." And that was that. Twitter made it happen, and it became a defining characteristic of the network — and really an integral part of every social network.

Ben Jenkins writes: With WhatsApp at 1 billion daily active users, and Facebook Messenger and WeChat not far behind, there is no question of the importance of messaging. In the last 12 months my company has met with over 100 different brands, agencies and publishers curious to see what all the fuss is about in this burgeoning but enigmatic new medium. In doing so, we’ve identified some common misconceptions, some of which we’ve found surprising, so I thought I’d share some rules for marketers looking to break into the messaging space.

The melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R), a G-protein-coupled receptor, has a crucial role in human and mouse pigmentation. Activation of MC1R in melanocytes by α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) stimulates cAMP signalling and melanin production and enhances DNA repair after ultraviolet irradiation. Individuals carrying MC1R variants, especially those associated with red hair colour, fair skin and poor tanning ability (denoted as RHC variants), are associated with higher risk of melanoma.

 As an educator at the midpoint of my career, I have witnessed numerous colleagues retire from a successful career in education and transition to a second, unrelated career almost seamlessly. I have often asked myself how is this possible? Do they possess a special skill or training that has enabled them to transition so effortlessly? Each, regardless of position (i.e., administration, special education, regular classroom teacher, etc.), never stopped exploring.
