Being a woman can be tough—but let’s face it. It is a whole lot more fun. On the one hand you have the whole working-woman-mother-of-two bit, juggling family life with the stress of working. On the other hand you have trips to the salon or spa, making up your face in the morning, buying more shoes! and the wherewithall to expect some kind of special gift for Valentine’s Day.
For this issue, I visited my new best friend, Daniel Bechara, who spends his days making women and men look stunning in his salon in McLean. Read a little more about him in his article by Linda Barrett. Also prepared with new ways to bring out your inner beauty is Laura Zienoun who shares her eyeshadow looks with us as well as fun and fashionable Julie Holland who shows us a couple of her layering looks for the winter using cardigans. And who doesn’t want toned and slender arms? Cindy Pavell visits Every Body Fitness in Springfield and shows us some weight training exercises.
I know that by New Year’s Day, the holidays have me feeling like a bloated heap ready to change my overeating ways; Judy Caplan gives us the scoop on Juice Fasting—my next ticket to a healthier me.
And what about all those imperfections that losing weight can’t change? We have two beauty experts right here in Tysons to ring in the New Year with the new you. Dr. Dennis Faludi’s laser treatments can treat any discolorations on your skin and Drs. Burton and Reps Sundin introduce us to one of the first UltraShape® machines in the area.
Be sure to check out the new Le Nouveau Moi Directory to have the listing of all our beauty providers right at your fingertips. Enjoy!

6 Le Nouveau Moi w 2015
January is a time when many of us have to face the music from our holiday overeating and indulgences. Looking at our reflection in a three-way mirror is powerful, so powerful that we are often willing to make a deal with the devil. We will do anything to make ourselves look thinner and firmer.
Some deals with the devil are better than others. Lately I have been reading and writing about juice fasting and cleansing. There is a lot of buzz about it everywhere. I like juice fasting but
often times people juice fast for the wrong reasons and end up worse off than when they started. So before you jump in, here are some things you might want to consider.
If you are looking for a magic cure to:1. Lose weight instantly and keep it off2. Clean out your system3. Get off all your medications4 Achieve Nirvana
put this article down and go get a wishbone. While juicing can be very healthy, it is not going to cure all that ails you. Bottom line is to be healthy, fit, and lean, you need to stop searching for the latest craze and concentrate on what builds health on a daily basis. (Boring but true!)
To achieve long-term weight loss and optimal health, you have to find

balance and create healthy habits, not some quick fix to drop 10 pounds in five days. As a registered dietitian who has counseled thousands of clients and been director of nutrition at Canyon Ranch, I have seen every passing fad and I know what works and what doesn’t. So let’s talk about the real story behind juicing.
The problem is not that we are not juicing enough but rather most of the time we are eating too much processed, sugar-laden, over-salted, and fried foods. We are missing out on all the health building nutrients in fresh fruits and vegetables. The typical American diet is severely lacking in micronutrients and phytochemicals found in colorful fruits and veggies.
Why does a Juice Diet Help Me Lose Weight?
It is not magic. When you go on a juice diet or fast you are forgoing all the fatty, processed, sugary food that is making you overweight and sluggish. Drinking juice helps you lose weight because the juice is lower in calories than the high-calorie foods you usually choose. Whenever you follow any specific diet plan, healthy or not, you will drop pounds because you are cutting calories.
You are also paying attention to what you are eating and when you pay attention you increase awareness. When you are aware of what you are doing, you are focused. Being focused helps you keep the commitments you make and allows you to achieve success. Losing weight, eating healthfully, and
staying fit requires all three: attention, awareness, and focus.
How Does a Juice Fast Cleanse the Body?
There have been many advertisements for body cleanses and weight loss products that claim our intestines hold

lots of waste which “acts like a paste or spackle and makes us fat.” Again the reason you will drop weight is because you are consuming less calories. Don’t be surprised if you do have many bowel movements. Juice often has a laxative effect.
What does “cleanse the body” really mean? I know it sounds good but let’s look at the science. Again there is no magic. Your body has the natural ability to cleanse and renew itself every day. That is why you have an intestinal tract and organs. They work to remove wastes that accumulate in the body 24/7.
The problem is that when we overeat, eat foods that are low in nutrients, or eat foods that clog our systems, we override the body’s ability to stay in homeostasis or maintain internal balance. Juicing is a way to pack a powerful punch of nutrients in at once and give your body a rest from working overtime to deal with disease-producing foods.
What Happens When the Juice Diet Ends?
Because you cannot just drink juice forever, in fact you should never do so for more than a few days unless under the care of a health professional, you have to prepare for what the next step will be when the juice diet ends. Most

people use a juice diet to transition to a healthier way of eating. So again, it goes back to three important questions:
1. How can I keep off the pounds I just lost on a juice diet?
2. What should I eat to stay (or get) lean, healthy, and strong?
3. How does juicing fit into my diet after I end the juice fast or diet?
Drink up all the carrot, beet, spinach, and ginger root you can find. Take a few days off from all the processed food and indulge in some homemade fruit smoothies, but remember, it is what you do everyday that determines long term health.

Picture PerfectSalon Daniel
BY LINDA BARRETT
Daniel Bechara, owner of Salon Daniel has made quite a name for himself in the beauty field. As a master hairstylist he is not only well-loved among his local clientele, he has garnered a reputation as the stylist to the stars.
Shortly after opening Salon Daniel in
McLean, Virginia, Bechara was approached to
do hair for the newly-crowned Miss Universe,
Lupita Jones. Word spread within celebrity
circles and his reputation skyrocketed to
what it is today. Celebrity clients have in-
cluded Arnold Schwarzenegger, Fran Dresher,
Jane Seymour, Queen Noor of Jordan, and
many high-profile individuals from the local
area and around the globe.
Relocating to the U.S. from Lebanon almost
30 years ago, Bechara was already a trained

“There are a lot of hairdressers out there, but not every-one is an artist. I train almost everybody who comes to work here, but they have to have talent. I can show them only so much, and then it’s all about artistry.”
hairdresser, but had the good fortune to gain employment at a
famous local salon—the Gaynelle Salon de Beauté. Here, he
honed his skills and grew his reputation and clientele. A few
years later, Bechara launched out on his own. Bechara is
particularly thankful to Charley and Cathy Patton and Mrs.
Virginia Mars who believed in his dream and supported him to
open his own salon. They remain regular clients.
Why is Salon Daniel so popular? “We are true artists,” Bechara
explains. “There are a lot of hairdressers out there, but not
everyone is an artist. I train almost everybody who comes to
work here, but they have to have talent. I can show them only
so much, and then it’s all about artistry.”
“I feel I personally have been blessed with a great talent in
providing great haircuts. To me, a great cut makes a client’s life
easier; it falls exactly where it should and looks great all the
time. My cuts never go bad, they just get long,” he quips.
Clients return regularly for the fabulous beauty services Salon
Daniel provides, and for the way they are treated. “It’s all about
the customer experience,” Bechara emphasizes. “I want my
customers to have the best experience every time.” The salon
is known for its stellar customer service that Bechara requires
from every employee. And clients enjoy the little extras, like
mimosas, cookies and fruit that make the day fun.
Salon Daniel offers the usual beauty services, such as haircuts,
color, skin treatments, manicures and pedicures, makeup art-
istry, and waxing, to name a few, with specialized services like
personal spray tanning, memorable updos, keratin treatments,
and hair and eyelash extensions. Visit the website at www.
salondaniel.com for a complete services listing.
Make an appointment at Salon Daniel, and you may never go
anywhere else again.

AGE SPOTS/SUN DAMAGE
Age spots are a result of aging and sun damage that increases the production of melanin in the
upper layers of the skin. The Excel V system is considered the gold standard in laser treatment to lighten and clear these spots
on face, body and hands.
ROSACEA
Rosacea commonly affects the central third of the face, causing tiny red pimples and fine broken blood vessels in the facial skin. Different forms of rosacea are successfully treated with the Excel V or Genesis V laser systems.
UNEVEN SKIN TONE/ ENLARGED PORES
Uneven skin tone can be caused by excessive sun exposure, hormones, aging or scarring. The Excel V laser system is very effective for treating this condition. The Genesis V is one of the best treatments available for enlarged pores.
SPIDER VEINS (FACE AND BODY)
The Excel V is considered to be the safest and most effective vascular laser for treating small broken vessels on the face and body. Treatment of spider veins in the legs does not require downtime and no compression stockings are needed after the procedure.

Dr. Faludi uses the advanced Cutera Excel V and Genesis V laser systems for a variety of cosmetic treatments for face and body.
Dr. Dennis Faludi has decades of experience in reconstructive and microsurgery; he pioneered the intraoperative use of lasers in orthopedic surgery. His expertise in the delicate techniques required for working with small vessels and nerves, soft tissue and bone flow naturally into Aesthetic Medicine.

the look takes it from basic casual to effortless glam.
I enjoy mixing various elements to make an outfit more interesting. The first look, with the leather paneled pants, has a glammed-up preppy feel to it, combining sexy with classic-sophisticated. The pants take it from basic prep to a bit more va-va-voom. The second look combines a relaxed, almost grandpa-like cardi with feminine touches, such as lace and heeled leather boots.
Proportion is key, when sporting such sizeable top pieces. Leggings and skinny jeans keep the figure from looking large. So don’t be afraid to throw on some figure hugging bottoms and layer away on top, mixing menswear inspired looks with feminine touches, or casual with uber-chic!

Going out on a date for Valentine’s Day? I was inspired to create a soft, flirty, romantic eye look for that special evening with your significant other. This look is easy to create and looks gorgeous on any skin tone. I chose Urban Decay’s latest eye shadow palette, Naked 3, because of the rose-hued neutrals and mix of matte and shimmery shades. The colors are rich and blend beautifully with great staying power. To finish the look, I added a coat of They’re Real Mascara by Benefit Cosmetics.

For a fun girls’ night out, I created a look that is sultry and flatters any age. Urban Decay’s Ammo Palette features ten of their bestselling colors—a mix of neutral and vivid smoky shades. I chose a mossy green as the main eyelid shade because it is unique and different from the usual grey/brown tones of a usual smoky eye. It gives a nice pop of color that isn’t too bright, and goes well with every eye color. I also applied a pair of natural-looking false lashes that are dramatic and sexy. They are light, easy to apply, and comfortable for all-night wear. This look is sexy, fun, and pretty!

E very woman I work with wants good looking arms! Here is the truth: YOU MUST DO
WEIGHT TRAINING! For nicely sculpted arms, not only are biceps and triceps involved, but you need to do shoulder work too. Development of your shoulder muscles supplies the “cut” between your shoulders and arms. Along with weight training, your body fat needs to be a healthy level in order to “see” your toned muscles (about 15-21 %).
You need to do this routine at least 2x per week, though 3x would be optimal. Set the amount of weight to where performing 8-12 repetitions, with proper form, is difficult. There are a variety of exercises available. Here we will be offering two movements per muscle group. The details matter. Posture matters (feet straight and parallel). Technique matters. The last repetition should look like the first one! Work efficiently. Work hard! v

28 Le Nouveau Moi w 2015
February 14th is Valentine’s Day in the US. If you are fortunate to have a special mate or partner in your life, then this is the time of year men and women are called to open up their romance valve.
For many, this has not been truly activated due to a full and active life where they have the feeling that there is little time to be romantic. For a select few, romance is not something you have to work hard at … it’s part of who you are. And you are living a romantic life daily. So, what does that mean?
I once read that romance is the water that nourishes a relationship – like a plant needs water to survive. I do believe you can survive without romance. Many do. I do believe romance is more like plant food that helps a relationship live a healthier, more vibrant life. However, one person’s idea of a romantic evening may differ from another’s. There are a variety of directions one can go. This alone can be a big issue in a relationship.
Bottom line, romance is the act of making someone feel special and cared for, even loved and adored. It’s giving them your time and

undivided attention. You need to demonstrate that you are thrilled to be with your loved one. And timing is critical. It has to be a time when both people can be open and present to the romantic experience. And isn’t the purpose of romance to lead two people towards being affectionate with one another and maybe more?
On the small scale, a romantic gesture is bringing a gift or flowers to your loved one. Hopefully it’s something they value and appreciate. Giving a woman perfume when she has allergies just shows you don’t know her tastes (and sensitivities) very well. Or giving chocolate to a woman who is focused on losing weight may not get a positive reaction. Knowing your partner’s goals and interests can give you clues on the right gifts for him or her.
You don’t have to spend a lot of money to make a romantic gesture. A single rose can have more impact sometimes than a bouquet. Nothing says, “I love you” like jewelry! After the champagne is consumed, and the flowers wilt, she still has this symbol of your affection to remember you and to show off to her friends. You can even make her a CD or a play list of your favorite music that you enjoy together. That would be romantic and lasting!
Romance is a way of being. It’s giving your partner your full attention. So put away your cell phone unless you have children at home and need the cell phone to be accessible for emergencies. It’s the way you look at someone looking deep into their soul to see the person they truly are. Some call this the lover’s gaze. This emotional connection is the entrance to having a physical connection – holding hands, embracing, kissing and possibly much more!
It’s romantic to share what you appreciate about your partner with that person. Expressing your feelings is very romantic and takes courage. And writing your feelings down in a card is a way to have something concrete that some people enjoy reading again when you are not with your special person.
Sometimes a small romantic gesture can go over big. I once had a boyfriend who came by
with baked cookies for me. I thought that was sweet. A romantic gesture doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. It can be as simple as cooking a special meal for your loved one. Even cooking together can be considered romantic if done with the right ambience. And don’t forget, for those time starved professionals, bringing in dinner and having soft music and candlelight makes for a peak romantic experience.
Of course taking that someone special to an intimate getaway is considered romantic. Getting a private room with a special view that is away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life makes a statement (unless you are up for a luxurious city experience!). This gives a couple a chance to relax which is very important to setting a romantic mood that would enhance a couple’s physical intimacy and enjoyment of each other’s company.
I don’t recommend the getaway be a total surprise because that can backfire, especially if your partner needs to prepare for being away from home with a pet or if children are part of the equation. I once was put in very uncomfortable situation when surprised with an overnight stay after a party since I did not have a change of clothes or my toiletries for the next day or a way to care for my cat.
So romance comes in all shapes and sizes, simple and grand. It all depends on truly knowing the person on the receiving end and what turns on your love interest. Everyone can be romantic. You just need to put some forethought and creative effort into making your time together a memorable experience.AUTHOR: Amy Schoen is a certified professional life coach and dating/relationship expert based in the D.C. area and is the author of Get It Right This Time-How to Find and Keep Your Ideal Romantic Relationship.
