Beauty Looks by Zodiac Sign
I believe in astrology. After all, I am a libra - I am definitely a lover of beauty (my chosen calling running skin care line Alchimie was not an accident), of harmony, and of peace. I hate conflict. So when I had the chance to interview Aurora Tower, a profesional astrologer (with a name like hers, it was meant to me). With a degree is Sociology and Urban Studies from Brown University, Aurora considered a career in Urban Planning before deciding to pursue her passion for astrology as a full time job. She has appeared in numerous magazines and on television programs including Good Morning America & Nightline. Aurora currently does all of the astrology content for Cosmopolitan Magazine, including their famed "Bedside Astrologer". We had to discuss beauty and astrology and how the two are inextricably linked. Here is her guide to what your sign means in terms of your optimal beauty look.
GEMINI
"There is that coquettish smile, but really it's the inquisitive, and well defined, eyes of the Gemini woman that first draw you in. The Gemini woman keeps a youthful glow throughout her life, and her effervescence is highlighted even more by soft glossy pinks and peaches on her lips and cheeks."
CANCER
"Soft, sensual Cancers prefer an au natural look that imperceptibly highlights their voluptuous feminine appeal. Nude cosmetics, with a touch of sheen, make her appear effortlessly radiant, while occasional smatterings of smoky eyes, or pearlescent shimmer, give nod to her ruler, the luminous moon."
LEO
"A veritable bombshell, the Leo woman's presence is announced via her perfect coif of hair, her thick brows and the passionate determination in her eyes. Always sporting a post-holiday glow, she radiates confidence with her strong eyes, deep bronze, and sometimes fiery accents."
VIRGO
"A master at combining minimalist and maximalist styles, Virgo is all about the details, in life and in presentation. A gravitation to natural products gives her a healthy, lit-from-within serenity. And she uses soft earth shades to ever so subtly contour herself to understated perfection."
LIBRA

"A charmer of the first degree, the Libra woman knows how to highlight her best feature, a winning smile, and captivate any audience. Never too heavy handed, she nonetheless relishes the rituals of beauty and fragrance, and finds pinks and peaches in all shades to match her many moods."
SCORPIO
"The Scorpio woman knows just what she likes, and just how to bring the drama. Sometimes starkly understated, sometimes as bold as night, shades of red and crimson flatter her unique, confident style. And she always relies on dark black accents, to reflect the intensity within."
SAGITTARIUSPhoto Credit: ERIK MADIGAN HECK For Harper's Bazaar
"The zodiac's free spirit, the Sagittarius woman, embraces experimentalism in her life and with her beauty. Never one to shy away from color, she highlights her open, exuberant curiosity with the occasional unexpected accents, to complement her carefree, natural style."
CAPRICORN
"The strong and stable Capricorn woman, a master of aging gracefully, is fiercely loyal to her favorite looks and beauty routine. She prefers a clean, matte style, and accenting her lovely, knowing eyes with dark grays and browns. Just a touch of shimmer gives a hint of the other, more playful, side of her personality."
AQUARIUS
"The futuristic and liberated Aquarius woman paves her own path through life. She prefers a bronzed glow, made fresh with modern flourishes and interesting angles. Not shy about trying new things, she especially radiates in black and metallic accents, never overshadowing her easy smile and fuss-free personality."
PISCES
"An eternal romantic and dreamer, the Pisces woman radiates the complicated nuances of her gender. Mixing and matching pale pink and purple shades with stark black kohls, she especially shines in windswept, beachy styles. Bronzed and luminous, she is every inch the ethereal sea nymph."

UCHealth Eye Center Announces Grand Opening
World-class, academic ophthalmology clinic reopens in Denver
Aurora, Colorado (PRWEB) June 05, 2015
After an extensive expansion and remodeling project, the UCHealth Eye Center has now reopened and is one of the largest eye centers in the nation. Located on the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, the academic-based eye center offers highly specialized care for patients and nationally renowned research.
The 67 full-time faculty members who practice at the UCHealth Eye Center already treat over 100,000 patients a year, and after an expansion project that almost tripled its size, the 135,000 square foot Eye Center now has room to care for far more patients.
“Over the past several years, the demand for our eye specialists has grown so rapidly that, even after extending our clinic hours, we were still barely able to care for all the patients who requested appointments,” said Naresh Mandava, MD, Executive Director of the UCHealth Eye Center, Professor and Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and Sue Anschutz-Rodgers Chair in Retinal Diseases. “Now the UCHealth Eye Center will be a resource for the entire Rocky Mountain region, serving patients with the most complex, sight-threatening conditions as well as those who need less complex care.”
The physicians at the UCHealth Eye Center, all faculty of the University of Colorado School of Medicine, are at the forefront of discovering and researching the most advanced treatments for eye diseases and have received numerous patents for their ground breaking work. This innovation is critically important as the numbers of people affected by diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration are rapidly increasing.
“We are very proud of the translational research that has developed from within our department and are excited to see that research come to fruition with new vision-saving and restorative treatments not only for our own patients but for patients throughout the world,” said Dr. Richard Davidson, Vice Chair for Quality and Clinical Affairs for the UCHealth Eye Center.
The UCHealth Eye Center is home to three dedicated operating rooms, an eyeglass retail shop, a full-service ocular diagnostics and imaging center as well as a complete suite for LASIK and other vision-correction procedures.
At the center of the project is a research area and state-of-the-art laboratories that will build on the recent discoveries by the ophthalmologists and scientists in the University of Colorado School of Medicine. The CU Department of Ophthalmology was the first to research stimulation of the retina with photovoltaic nanoparticles, which have the potential to restore sight to patients with blinding retinal diseases. The UCHealth Eye Center was the first academic medical center in the United States to commercially perform femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.
The Eye Center has four, satellite patient-care centers located in Boulder, Cherry Creek, Downtown Denver, and Park Meadows. Additionally, the Eye Center’s physicians have been ranked among 5280 Magazine’s Top Doctors.

Has Been Optimized
A kitchen manager at a school in Colorado who was fired for feeding students that couldn’t afford to pay for their lunch said she’d do it all again if she had to.
Della Curry made headlines after she was fired from her job as kitchen manager at Dakota Valley Elementary School in Aurora, Colorado, for giving free lunch to a first grade girl who, through tears, explained one day that she didn’t have enough money to pay for her lunch.
“I had a first grader in front of me, crying, because she doesn’t have enough money for lunch. Yes, I gave her lunch,” Curry told reporters after the incident first occurred. According to Curry, the normal school policy was that if a student surpassed a debt limit for unpaid lunches, they would be given a hamburger bun with a slice of cheese on it and a glass of milk. That, she said, was unacceptable.
“I would have kids start crying when I told them they didn’t have money in their account because they were terrified of getting the cheese sandwich,” she said. She reiterated her disapproval of the policy in a Facebook post written after she was fired.
“I will never understand how the 'best' country in the world considers a cheese sandwich to be adequate nutrition for a child,” she wrote.
Curry’s story soon went viral, prompting her to speak out further about what she did and why, she said, she’d do it again.
“If you don't charge for the food it's considered theft,” she said on Good Morning America. I understand that I won't be getting my job back because, until the policies change, I'd be breaking policy. “
Curry said she believes the school’s policy should change to better serve the best interests of the students and provide healthy, acceptable lunches for all students regardless of whether or not they can afford it.
“The new policy that I believe 100 percent that I'm going to work for is that school lunch is part of a public education,” she said. “It is not a separate department like it is now. It should not be separately funded."
