On This Day In Women’s History:
February 29, 1916: Dinah Shore was born.
Dinah Shore, singer and actress, performed on WSM in college with Frankie Laine, Dennis Day, Frank Sinatra and others, became a regular on Eddie Cantor’s show in 1940, entertained USO troops during World War II (12,000 at Versailles), won first of 10 Emmy Awards in 1955 for “The Dinah Shore Show,” which ran until 1962.
👩🏻⚕️ Crafting Beauty: Dr. Michele Koo's Skincare Story
Dr. Michele Koo, the pioneering force behind Private Practice by Dr. Koo, offers a reflective insight into her journey of skincare formulation.
"At 50, I found myself delving into the complexities of formulating pure skincare ingredients into products that truly deliver results," shares Dr. Michele Koo. It wasn't until she reached the age of 40 that Dr. Koo began to meticulously analyze which ingredients provided genuine benefits to her patients and her skin. "I couldn't help but question the effectiveness of celebrity-endorsed products promoted by young influencers. How could they truly comprehend the impact of pregnancy, aging, or stress on the skin?" Dr. Koo's depth of experience and wisdom proved to be invaluable assets in the creation of her line of 100 percent pure and ethically formulated products. "My wealth of experience and insight, not just the buzz of marketing campaigns, have been the driving force behind the development of a product line bearing my name—a line that is deeply rooted in authentic care and understanding."
Dr. Koo's journey stands as proof of the transformative power of experience and knowledge. Through her dedication and commitment, she has established a skincare line that goes beyond superficial promises, offering genuine solutions backed by science and empathy. With each product meticulously crafted, Dr. Koo continues to redefine the standards of skincare, proving that age and wisdom are invaluable assets in the pursuit of beauty and wellness.

GOLDEN GIRL SALAD WITH SWEET CORN VINAIGRETTE RECIPE
👍 Live Well Now Approved | Plant-Based
You Will Need:
2 tbsp. fine sea salt
4 ears corn, shucked
1/2 head green cabbage, finely shredded
3 to 4 multicolored carrots, finely chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, finely chopped
1 bunch scallions, white and light green parts finely chopped
1 bunch chives, finely sliced
1 c. cherry tomatoes, halved lengthwise, cut into thirds
1 c. sungold tomatoes, halved lengthwise, cut into thirds
2 cloves garlic
1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons
2 tbsp. distilled white vinegar
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. ground turmeric
Corn tortilla chips, for serving
Directions:
1. Fill a large pot with cold water and stir in sea salt. Heat over high heat and add corn. Bring to a rapid boil, then remove from heat and cover pot; set aside until ready to use.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, scallions, chives, cherry tomatoes, and Sungold tomatoes to combine.
3. Carefully remove corn from pot and cut kernels off cob (I like to use a fork to anchor it and cut it inside a bowl so it doesn’t go flying); reserve 1/2 cup corn for the dressing. Add remaining corn to bowl with vegetables.
4. In a high-powered blender, blend reserved 1/2 cup corn, garlic, oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic powder, kosher salt, pepper, and turmeric until smooth.
5. Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine. Serve with chips alongside.
