Your Villa Magazine - Desert Cities - June - July 2024

Decades ago, the Coachella Valley became second home to the stars of the silver screen. From Frank Sinatra, to Bob Hope, Sonny [former Mayor of Palm Springs] and Cher, to Marilyn Monroe. These and other international celebrities flocked to our sweeping desert dunes in hopes of enjoying some quiet solitude while basking in warm climates that sooth body, mind, and soul. H E A L T H + B E A U T Y Where Health and Beauty Come to Shine The Coachella Valley Produced by Tiar’a Literary & Illustration To your good health from all of us and our advertisers! — Your Villa Magazine As the valley grew, visitors began to understand the health and wellness benefits of a warm and dry climate which influenced retirees from across the world to purchase homes in droves. Yet, since the early 2000’s, visitors, and new residents to the Coachella Valley began realizing that this is a place where they can literally sweep years off the way they feel and their physical appearances by combining natural environment with fitness studios, health, beauty, and anti-aging clinics. The health and wellness movement washed upon the shores of the golden state during the 1960’s and 1970’s. Not only is our state home to the entertainment production capital of the world and the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, Venice Beach hosted the bodybuilding mecca and publicity machine that became Mr. Olympia, and action movie star and former California governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Since then, California has been closely associated with everything fitness, beauty, and anti-aging. Here in the Coachella Valley, the late actress and TV personality Susan Sommers – a Coachella Valley desert dweller, was a considerable proponent for the health, and anti-aging movement. During her time in the valley, Susan worked with many of our valley’s leading cosmetic and anti-aging clinics, as well as debuting her cosmetic line which can still be purchased today inside one of the Coachella Valley’s leading health and wellness grocery and supplementation markets, Clark’s Nutrition & Natural Foods Market . At Your Villa Magazine we believe that health and wellness should always be at the pinnacle of everyone’s priority list. A few simple changes to nutrition, a little exercise, fresh air, and sunshine go a long way, and are priceless investments for yours and your family’s futures. This is why we’re choosing the health and wellness sector of the Coachella Valley to star as our feature subject leading into this season. Here is just a small list of businesses we recommend that can assist in your health and wellness objectives. Cloud 9 Luxury Medical Spa, Coachella Yoga Therapy & Wellness, Clark’s Nutrition & Natural Foods Market, The Body Deli, Dell’Acqua Dental Studio, Skin by Marina of Beverly Hills and more... With summer right around the corner now is a great time to help yourself feel and look your best. yourvillamagazine.com | 43
