“To see our entire Amare community rally to support this cause fills us with hope, optimism, and belief that together we are making a difference!” said Jared Turner, CEO at Amare Global.

In the first 45 days since announcing the partnership on September 16th, Amare has raised over $25,000. The Round-Up for Love program works by automatically rounding up the total of each first-time order to the nearest dollar as a donation to The Children’s Center Utah. Amare provides the round-up at no additional cost to the new customer. Additionally, Amare’s existing customers have the option to round up their orders as a donation. To celebrate the launch of the partnership with The Children’s Center Utah, Amare also contributed an additional $5 for every order of its new best-selling Amare Happy Juice Pack.

“We are thrilled to celebrate the successful launch of our Round-Up for Love program and partnership with The Children’s Center Utah,” said Amare Chief Executive Officer Jared Turner. “Love and Service are two of our company’s core values.

The Children’s Center Utah offers clinical services such as assessment and evaluations, child and family therapy, infant/early childhood mental health (IECMH) consultations, and webinars for childcare professionals. Money donated through the Round-Up for Love program will help ensure all children and families who need the center’s comprehensive mental health services can access them, regardless of their ability to pay.

“What a great opportunity for our organization to be partnered with Amare,” said The Children’s Center Utah President and CEO Rebecca Dutson. “We both share the same core value of love and vision for improving mental health.

Cost vs. Need; Weighing Multiple Options


The median annual income for Americans 65 years of age or older in 2019 was $27,938. For most Americans, health care accounts for one of the largest expenses in retirement.

Even if you’re comfortable with your current [Medicare] coverage, it’s still a good idea to participate in open enrollment to ensure you don’t miss out on new benefits or experience unexpected cost increases.

According to a 2021 government report, the median annual income for Americans 65 years of age or older in 2019 was $27,938.(1) For most Americans, health care accounts for one of the largest expenses in retirement. This year, in particular, increases in Medicare Part B premiums and out-of-pocket health care costs have left many Americans wondering whether or not they can afford adequate health insurance coverage for their needs. Dave Rich, CEO of Ensurem, a Florida-based insurance technology and product distribution firm, recommends seniors use the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period as a time to evaluate their health care coverage options.

“During the Medicare open enrollment period,” says Rich, “we strongly advise seniors to reach out to a knowledgeable Medicare insurance agent—someone who understands all the available Medicare options—for help evaluating their needs and options.”

By its very nature, says Rich, the health insurance situation for Americans over the age of 65 is complex and bewildering. For 2021, for example, there were a total of 3,550 Medicare Advantage plans available across the nation’s service areas, giving the average enrollee 33 plans from which to choose.(2)

A good advisor, says Rich, will seek first to understand a person’s health care needs and budgetary constraints, and will then take the time to educate them about plan options and possible upcoming changes. The annual Medicare open enrollment period, he says, which this year ends on December 7, is the right time to re-evaluate your coverage, make changes, or stay with current coverage.

“Plan costs and coverage can vary from year to year,” notes Rich, “both for Original Medicare and for private offerings like Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement Insurance. Even if you’re comfortable with your current coverage, it’s still a good idea to participate in open enrollment to ensure you don’t miss out on new benefits or experience unexpected cost increases.”

It is possible, he says, that some seniors will require financial help to pay their insurance premium and associated out-of-pocket expenses. Sources of assistance include Medicaid, a joint federal/state program, state-level Medicare Savings Programs, and Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) from Medicaid.(3) A qualified Medicare insurance agent understands these programs and how they work with the different private Medicare insurance plans.

Regardless of a senior’s financial situation, says Rich, the agent’s role is to keep costs down and to explain all the ramifications of any plan they discuss. To facilitate this process, he recommends that seniors have the following information ready for agents:

  • Target budget for monthly premiums
  • Primary physician’s information
  • Prescription drugs taken regularly
  • Travel plans in and outside the U.S.


What is most important in this conversation, Rich notes, is two-way transparency. It’s important that agents explain what exactly is included in a health insurance plan, and to make certain that the beneficiary is not paying for coverage that he or she does not need.

“The people best qualified to guide seniors through this thicket,” says Rich, “are licensed Medicare insurance agents who are contracted with multiple top-rated insurance carriers I strongly encourage any senior—no matter what part of the country you live in—to seek out such an agent and make sure they give you all the answers you need.”

CALIWATER Cactus Based Functional Beverage by Founders OLIVER TREVENA and VANESSA HUDGENS Hits Shelves At HEALTH-FOOD MARKET EREWHON


Caliwater cactus water beverage is now available at all Erewhon grocery market locations across California.

“We are so excited to finally be available at Erewhon, one of our favorite organic and sustainability focused health-food grocery stores. It was a dream for us to be on their shelves.” – Oliver Trevena and Vanessa Hudgens, co-founders, Caliwater

Caliwater, the cactus based functional beverage, is now available in the refrigerated beverage section of all Erewhon locations, including their new Studio City location, across Southern California as of November 2021. Erewhon, LA’s luxury health-food market, has been committed to providing organic, sustainable, pure, and nutrient-rich foods and products to the communities it serves, which aligns with the beliefs of the Caliwater brand and their origin.

Caliwater is defined by a drive to create innovative, fresh functional beverages that connect us to the Earth and to one another. Inspired by the lush and varied landscapes of California, Founders Oliver Trevena (Actor/Host/Entrepreneur) and native Californian Vanessa Hudgens (Actress/Music Artist/Influencer/Entrepreneur) looked to their own desert regions to locally source Prickly Pear cactus fruit, known for its rare and potent healthful properties. Their vision – to sip on Cali in a can. Prickly Pear is brought to life in beverage form in their quickly growing canned cactus water product, which is not only delicious and organic, but super hydrating and refreshing, and of course filled with rare antioxidants and digestion benefits. http://www.drinkcaliwater.com

“We are so excited to finally be available at Erewhon, one of our favorite organic and sustainability focused health-food grocery stores. It was a dream for us to be on their shelves, so now to see Caliwater cans front and center, is an incredible feeling for us. We are so grateful for their support of our delicious cactus water beverage.” – Oliver Trevena and Vanessa Hudgens, co-founders, Caliwater

Caliwater is the leading cactus water on the market, pioneering a new category, already top rated on Amazon, and is a purely functional beverage. The functional benefits of cactus water include being high in antioxidants (which is great for the skin), is known to reduce cholesterol levels, offers a natural elimination of hangovers, regulates blood sugar levels, and possess antiviral properties – offering a variety of benefits for digestive health. Only 25 calories per can, organic, vegan, Kosher and non GMO.

The Benefits: Prickly Pear is full of antioxidants which research shows provide a myriad of health and wellness benefits. Early studies have shown evidence of the decrease in cholesterol, specifically LDL (bad) cholesterol. The study showed overall levels dropping significantly. Some research also indicates that Prickly Pear may provide a complementary solution to regulating blood sugar levels, by decreasing regular blood sugar. Prickly Pear cactus has natural antiviral properties, and research has found that it has antiviral activity against viral and respiratory diseases, as well as protecting nerve cells. (Source – Healthline.com)

  • Proven Hangover Relief
  • Refreshing and Delicious
  • Naturally Occurring Electrolytes to Support Hydration
  • Locally + Fairly Wild-Harvested
  • Anti-Inflammatory Properties
  • Skin Revitalizing Antioxidants
  • Half the Calories and Sugars of Coconut Water
  • Decreases “bad” Cholesterol
  • Regulator of Blood Sugar Levels


The Delicious Taste: Caliwater Farmers handpick the Prickly Pear cactus fruits seasonally and remove the seeds and juice on-site. The organic formula is infused with other natural fruits and nectars such as agave and monk fruit, and combined with filtered water to create the final drink, which bursts with refreshing mellow berry flavor.

The Flavors:

Organic Ginger & Lime

Organic Wild Prickly Pear

The Founders: After 12 years of friendship that formed in California but inclusive of world travels, brand founders Oliver Trevena and Vanessa Hudgens combined their passions and creative visions together for the next phase of Caliwater, the incredible canned beverage they introduced to the world earlier this year, with expansion products to roll out in 2022.

Vanessa, a well respected actress and entertainer, known as a staple California girl, associated with her free spirit, festival vibe and down to earth aesthetic, desired to bottle this discovered passion in a drink that is reflective of her deep love for beauty and skincare. Oliver, who hails from the UK but has been a staple in Los Angeles hosting across top entertainment networks for over a decade, starred in several movies & involved in various fashion and entrepreneurial projects, was excited to apply his business vision with Vanessa to formulate this innovative product. The two were so blown away by the effects of Prickly Pear – A Superfood High in antioxidants, Naturally lowers cholesterol, Antiviral properties, Eliminates hangovers, Amazing for the skin — that they were inspired to get behind a water reflective of this natural benefit.

Alas, Caliwater canned Cactus Water was born. It’s charged with all-around health benefits that hail from the Prickly Pear cactus, and tastes delicious – a perfect combination. A refreshing drink on its own, or paired with liquor, especially Tequila!

Additional celebrity brand investors/ambassadors include Gerard Butler, Brooke Burke, Ross Butler, Gregg Sulkin, Ruckus and Glen Powell.

Caliwater initially launched on E-Comm followed by a roll out to retailers and Amazon Prime, and venues throughout 2021 inclusive of hotels and restaurants such as Resorts World’ Zouk Group properties, Élia Beach Club at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, Cara Hotel, Ysabel, Laurel Hardware, Craig’s, Alfred Coffee, and many more.

A portion of proceeds from all sales of Caliwater is donated to No Kid Hungry. (http://www.nokidhungry.org) The campaign is one the founders feel very passionate about, which is focused on ending childhood hunger in the U.S. Their mission is to help feed hungry kids in this crisis and all year long. [5 cents from every can sold up to one million dollars will be donated.]

Dr. John Anastasatos of Los Angeles Plastic Surgery Announces an Innovative and More Effective Minimally Invasive Facelift Procedure


News Image

“I am thrilled to offer this revolutionary facelift procedure to qualified patients, providing amazing aesthetic results with a fast recovery time, which is typically around 3 days,” says Dr. John M. Anastasatos

Los Angeles Plastic Surgery’s founder, Dr. John Anastasatos, is widely known as one of the best in his field, earning global recognition for his beautiful surgical results. He is thrilled to share his newest groundbreaking technique in facelifting, which combines (MIMS) minimally invasive midface suspension to address the jowl area, double chin correction with liposuction and the removal of buccal fat pads, a naturally-occurring pad of fat in the cheek hollow area. As one of the most bothersome areas of the face affected by aging, the jowls can effectively be corrected with Dr. Anastasatos’ (MIMS) minimally invasive midface suspension technique. The procedure is done percutaneously, meaning there are no classic cuts in front and around the ears, and uses special microsurgical equipment that creates a small 1-inch incision in the temporal area that is hidden in the hairline. The MIMS procedure provides an anti-aging effect to give an overall more refreshed, youthful appearance. Dr. Anastasatos also addresses double chin formation that is caused by excess fat and skin laxity. He uses his advanced skill to perfect liposuction of the neck that extends to the jawline, removing excess fat of the neck and tightening the neck skin, removing the look of a double chin. The combination of the minimally invasive “cutless” MIMS procedure and double chin correction with liposuction defines and rejuvenates the jawline, and elevates the cheeks, signaling youth and vitality. Dr. Anastasatos’ “trifecta” facelift procedure also includes buccal fat pad removal. In many patients, mid/lower check fullness is due to prominent fat pockets called buccal fat pads. The incisions to remove them are inside the mouth, so they are invisible. Removing the buccal fat pads can remove the “chubby face” appearance and allow for the well-defined jawline and cheeks to stand out more. By merging these three procedures, Dr. Anastasatos’ minimally invasive facelift can address the most visible signs of aging that present on the face.

“I am thrilled to offer this revolutionary facelift procedure to qualified patients, providing amazing aesthetic results with a fast recovery time, which is typically around 3 days,” says Dr. John M. Anastasatos

More about Dr. John M. Anastasatos:

Dr. Anastasatos offers a full menu of services to improve one’s appearance, with gold-standard facelifts, advanced breast augmentations, body lift procedures and non-surgical treatments. Dr. John Anastasatos trained at Brown University Medical School, Columbia University-Presbyterian Medical Center and The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). He is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.

In addition to her professional training, Dr. Duncan also has personal experience with belonging and identity challenges. She explains, “This is why I became a psychologist. Having firsthand experience with my own struggles with belonging and identity as a Chinese American immigrant, I want to help others embrace their unique identity, celebrate their differences, and find where they belong.”
