20 elevate | september+october.11 elevatemagazine.com NEWS BODY BUILD A BETTER BOD No more excuses! We recently discovered Bodylogix, a new line of nutrition products that make getting in shape a no-brainer. Learn more at elevatemagazine. com/bodylogix. Then check out our article on building the backside of your dreams (think Pippa Middleton and her much-talked- about backside!) at elevatemagazine.com/ tushtoningtips. – MR IT’S ONLY NATURAL Having sex can promote good health and well-being, reduce stress and boost the immune system—but especially after menopause, vaginal dryness can leave some women feeling less- than-enthused about getting physical. We love Intimate Organics, a paraben-, glycerine- and DEA-free line with certified organic extracts which are pure vegan and never tested on animals. (Defense Protection Personal Lubricant, $16.99, and HYDRA Plant Cellulose Personal Lubricant, $15.50, at shopintimateorganics.com.) —MSP SMART SCRUB Now that we’ve discovered Rilastil Lipofusion Exfoliating Shower Gel ($75, avario.com) we actually look forward to our morning shower. Jojoba beads, bora bora sand (natural calcium powder) and glucomannan (a vegetable fibre) deliver a gentle but deep exfoliation that revitalizes and smoothes the skin—and targets cellulite affected areas. The scrub lathers well and can be distributed more evenly than salt or sugar scrubs based in oil. Plus, in clinical tests, the naturally derived ingredients have been shown to help drain the excess fluid buildup in fat cells that can cause lumps, bumps and orange-peel skin.—MSP UNDERNEATH IT ALL WHEN WE HEARD ABOUT STRIDE EVERDAY PANTIES, we couldn’t believe no one had already come up with the idea. They’re underwear with a sewn-in panty liner containing a patented moisture absorbing system that locks in up to an ounce of moisture, acting as a safeguard against light bladder leaks (or menstrual misses) while keeping you dry. What sets these panties apart is their stylish quality – even though we cab buy them at the drugstore, they’re easily mistaken for a Victoria’s Secret lacy thong or seamless boyshort. Absorbed moisture washes away thoroughly when we toss them in the washing machine with the rest of our undies, and we can wear them over and over again (no more eco-unfriendly pads and liners). They’re great for exercise classes, too, and ensure that we don’t end up with that sweaty, uncomfortable feeling during class. ($22 each, Shoppers Drug Mart) – MR FULL STORY ONLINE!
