2008 Health and Wellness Guide

Contrary to Miami lore, taking vitamins with a mojito does not constitute healthy. Instead, use these tips to make your body sing.

Always on My Mind
Take a chakra class at the Miami Life Center (736 6th Street; 305-534-8988), Friday, 7-8:30 p.m. The seminar teaches pranic healing to help balance your energy. Still off kilter? Get a $99 Spa Month treatment at a swank spot like the Guerlain Spa (10295 Collins Avenue; 305-455-5400).

I’ve Got You Under My Skin
Cover your pretty punim with Sun Perféct Uv4, a new high-end sunscreen that’s delicate enough to use as a daily moisturizer. And lube up parched skin with Kiehl’s new Superbly Restorative Skin Salve. The concentrated balm contains soothing organic Moroccan argan oil (832 Lincoln Road; 305-531-0404).

Your Body Is a Wonderland
Dismount the couch and go to The Ultimate Summer Boot Camp, Monday-Friday, 7 p.m., at Myra & Company (7313 Southwest 59th Court, South Miami; 305-661-2381). The hour-long workout ends on a Power Plate, a vibrating platform that tones muscles and releases energy.

Here Comes the Sun
Hit the beach for some salty water: the best product you don’t have to buy. Bottle up a little ocean, keep it in the refrigerator, and use it nightly as a toner.
