Milan is preparing to welcome the 4th edition of the Lierac Beauty Run this Saturday 8th June. This is a special run, not just because it was the first one I’ve took part, but because it’s dedicated to women and their relatives and the running will take place at 9pm at the Arena Civica here in Milan, such a beautiful location! The event is organized by RCS Sports & Events – RCS Active Team with LIERAC, a cosmetic brand distributed exclusively in pharmacies and parapharmacy, always close to the female universe.
 
As last year, you can choose one of the two options for the run:
1) of 5 km for non-competitive cross the Parco Sempione
2) of 10 km for the competitive and non-competitive that will wind between the Brera area, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, Piazza Duomo, Cordusio, Cairoli with the Castello Sforzesco with the start and finish line always positioned at the Arena Civica.

 
The preparation and fun start early on the day, from 3.30 pm a series of activities will start at the Beauty Village that will accompany the participants throughout the afternoon before the run.
This year’s theme is Ready Shine Go (nothing more feminine, right?), it’s the new mood chosen by the LIERAC to express the spirit that accompanies many women: light up to reveal the best side of themselves!
Moving on to the day’s program, a special space will be provided at the LIERAC stand where beauty tips will be offered for the skin as well as the Lierac Sun Point, the solar oasis that will allow you to enjoy the benefits of the sun in complete safety, thanks to the Sunissime line. Moreover, to celebrate the theme of this edition, Ready Shine Go, a special glittery photo corner created in collaboration with Design by Gemini, and a tattoo station where you can get gadgets to shine in the most pink summer evening.
In the PHYTO Hair – Bar instead it will be possible to book a “shining” pre-run hairstyle. A moment entirely dedicated to well-being that will allow runners to prepare for the running in style!

For those of you who love architecture and interior design, this year, again, I visited the Salone del Mobile Milano that happened here in Milan a while ago, I already had already published a video in portuguese on youtube channel (/manuluize) with the main trends from the decor fair.
To check the video of the Salone del Mobile 2018 here in Milan (it’s in portuguese, but you can still see all the decor and trends ;)), watch it here:

Lots of trends in architecture and decoration, a lot of technology or even some completely classic decoration (and sometimes even a little “exaggerated”), the Salone del Mobile Milano is a fair that happens annually here in Italy and is huge, with a lot of variety for all tastes and styles!
It takes a few days to visit a good part of the fair, after all is really a lot to see, so the highlights of the edition are on my video.
A trend that may be a little contradictory that I would like to highlight: the closets and cabinets in transparent glass, whether for closets, on bedroom or even in other parts of the house (like living room or even in the kitchen). I say contradictory, because personally I enjoyed it very much, but I’m still not sure if I would choose to have it at home (after all, in the case of the closet, it would have to be very well organized all the time!).

If you follow me on Instagram (if you don’t, you can follow me at @manuluize), you noticed I’ve been going to some fitness and training events organized with a initiative by the beauty brand Lierac, that’s organizing a beauty run here in Milan on June 9th: the Lierac Beauty Run 2018.

The Lierac Beauty Run is one of the brand’s initiative to empower woman and to help us to add some healthy running/activities in our life with more consistency.
In 2018, this is going to be the third beauty run and this years’ run was presented on the new New Balance flagship store here in Milan and it’s also known as the “corsa in rosa”, that means “the pink run” in italian. The run is organized by RCS Active Team – RCS Sport in collaboration with Lierac.

Andrea Trabuio, Head of Mass Events RCS Active Team, explained: “Lierac Beauty Run is a run created to celebrate women and lovers of a healthy lifestyle, a day of great celebration for everyone. Also on this year, the run will pass in the heart of Milan with two routes, one of 5 km and another one of 10 km. The run is the end of a journey that started in January with RUN4ME Lierac, which has registered over 1000 members.

Over the last years, once a year, the Salon du Chocolat Milano makes Milan a sweeter city and a great place for those who love chocolate and cooking. I’ve been to the 2018 edition of the Salon du Chocolat here in Milan and I loved the experience, because I love cooking, specially sweets.

 
From 15th to 18th February, Milan hosted the Salon du Chocolat with so many events and brands exhibiting their amazing chocolates at the Salon. During the four days of the event, we had 47 showcooking events,  36 presentations, and more then 105 brands and degustations of chocolate and sweets.
 

• Salon du Chocolat Milano 2018:

It all started with the opening night on the 15th February and with a fashion show inspired by the king: the chocolate. The dresses always had a story behind it and they were created by fashion designers collaborating with chocolatiers and chefs, creating a very interesting final result.
Check some of the dresses that were in exhibition after the opening fashion show at the Salon du Chocolat Milano 2018:


 
I love cooking, so I checked many of the showcookings during the Salon du Chocolat and I definitely learned a lot from italian chocolatiers and chefs.

A must-see in Milan for those who love gastronomy and want to get to know one of the most famous and traditional pastry shops in Milan: the Pasticceria Marchesi. Created in 1824 and acquired by the Prada group, the pastry shop has now three addresses in the Italian city.

 

• Pasticceria Marchesi in Milan

A very traditional pastry shop in Milan, Pasticceria Marchesi was founded in 1824 and today it stands at the same address, being a historical pastry shop in Milan and even a symbol of the city. With so much tradition, as soon as I was around, I had to stop by at the traditional address to check it myself.
The pasticceria (Italian word for “pastry shop”) really began only with sweets and after 1900 also became a coffee shop. The traditional address on Via S. Maria alla Porta 11 / a, is the same since its opening and this address is more like a “fast coffee” kind of place with no place to sit or just to take something home / hotel (which by the way, when you take away, its wrapped in this lovely packaging of the beginning of this post).
 

About the sweets from the Marchesi pastry shop: delicious! Marchesi really has the tradition it deserves, I went to visit the traditional address and tried some traditional sweets and I also couldn’t resist to take others for later. (Yes, I love sweets.)
About the prices, I would say it’s a very normal price, just so you can have an idea, the sweets on the photo above had a price by weight and they cost only € 5. (And they were delicious indeed.)
So, when thinking about where to eat in Milan, if you’re craving some sweets, stop by at one of Marchesi’s address.
 

• Pasticceria Marchesi Addresses:

• Traditional address: Via S. Maria alla Porta 11 / a, 20123 Milano (It does not open on Mondays).
• Second address: Via Monte Napoleone 9, 20121 Milano.
• Third Address: Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
The second address is the new address opened in 2015, after the brand has been acquired by Prada. Unlike the traditional address, the new addresses have a space with tables and seats and a beautiful design chosen by Miuccia Prada herself.

With Swiss technology, arrives in Italy a new treatment for cellulite that promises good results in a short period of time and it’s called Swiss CellVibe.
I’ve been to the launching event here in Milan at the White Medi Spa to know more about the CellVibe, how it works and what are the results of this innovative treatment.
A lot is said about cellulite and how to get rid of it, being one of the biggest complains when women talk about their bodies. Therefore, any new treatments on this subject are always welcomed by the female public!

To find a solution, more and more women are turning to aesthetic medicine experts, dermatologists and / or wellness centers to have additional support when eating healthy and exercise are not enough anymore in combating the cellulite.
In this sense, real and effective help comes from the Swiss technology company Electro Medical Systems SA, which, with its 30 years of experience in the production of precision medical devices for more than 100 countries worldwide, has also chosen to launch in Italy a non-invasive solution designed by medical research and designed for beauty professionals: Swiss CellVibe® is a shock-absorbing device that not only reduces cellulite, but also improves skin consistency and elasticity, while it stimulates the cell metabolism and promotes blood and lymph circulation.
 

A recent study about the Swiss CellVibe® treatment found that applying the device for 30 minutes in just 8 sessions produced an average reduction in a stage of cellulitis – from III to II or II to I – and the reduction Of 2% of the thigh circumference.
Swiss CellVibe® – clinically proven (Schladraff et al., 2014) – is the result of years of EMS research and analysis on shock waves, which allowed the Swiss company to produce some of the most popular medical devices for treatment of kidney stones and osteoarticular pain. With this expertise, EMS has chosen to propose its patented technology to beauty professionals for the treatment of cellulite.

E.M.S. Electro Medical Systems S.A was founded by Bernd Bühner and Pierre Mabille almost 35 years ago in the Joux Valley, Switzerland. It is in the heart of this valley, famous for its clockwork masterpieces, which E.M.S has forged its reputation by developing unrivaled quality medical devices and clinically proven treatment results. Today E.M.S is present in over 100 countries and has expanded its activities to 8 branches around the world. With strong expertise and experience, E.M.S is a leader in dental prophylaxis, intracorporeal lithotripsy and radial extracorporeal shock waves in the treatment of muscle tendon pain.
