I recently attended a launch event at natural skin care company, Jurlique, located at Madison Avenue to learn about their new line of whitening and anti-aging products. Jurlique is a 25 year old company started by a German couple, who bought a 153 acre farm in South Australia to produce the purest natual and organic ingredients for their skin care products. Jurlique uses advanced technolofies to create potent high-performance skin care products. No insecticide is used at the *biodynamic farm and everything is hand picked. Garlic is planted between rosebushes because they prevent aphids from attacking the roses. Bees are also raised on the farm to produce honey as an ingredient.
The Purely Brightening products improve skin by smoothing the skin tone and lightening spots. Jurlique understands the unique needs of its Asian American clientele and has created innovative collections to address their priorities. To learn more about Jurlique products, visit www.jurlique.com.

I attended the Experience Korean Temple Stay at Astor Wine recently. Korean Templestay is a cultural-experience program designed to help people understand Korean Buddhism better. Templestays offer various kinds of practicing methods such as Yebul (ceremonial service involving chanting), Chamseon (Zen meditation), Dado (tea ceremony) and Baru Gongyang (communal Buddhist meal service). Participants can find their 'true self' amongst the harmony of nature while staying at a temple in Korea. But a highlight of the program, especially for foodies or vegetarians is the buddhist temple food, which was quite delicious. We were served a delicious meal, made only from vegetables and I was surprised by the textures and flavors of the food, and felt very satisfied after the meal. I imagine that staying at a peaceful temple, you would appreciate the food even more. To learn more about Korean Templestay, visit eng.templestay.com
