Every person’s body, metabolism, and genetics are different, and are effected by numerous factors such as: height, weight, lean muscle, body fat, age, activity level, gender, and genetics. So we start by gathering exact details of your body composition as well as BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate = Calories used at rest) with the use of the state-of-the-art InBody 230 machine. This data goes into our proprietary software that creates a guide to calculate how much food you need each day. Combining this raw data with other information about lifestyle, exercise, and activity level which is collected in a short questionnaire, we are able to tailor perfectly measured gourmet meals that are delicious and simple to enjoy. Your meals are prepared fresh and vacuum sealed to allow us to forgo using preservatives. Not only is it measured just to your specifications, but it also combines the latest cooking methods so each meal is delicious and nutritious. At Formula Foods, we use the sous vide method to cook all of our meals so that the food is great tasting, flavorful, and high in nutrients. When any meal is prepared on a grill or in a stove, a certain amount of the nutrients and flavor are lost to evaporation. But with the sous vide method, the natural flavor of the food never escapes – making it taste better and providing the most accurate caloric count possible. So not only does Formula Foods provide you with the ease of perfectly portioned meals, it also gives you amazingly clean and healthy food cooked with the best ingredients and never frozen. Clients have experienced the effects of better skin, sustained energy, and an overall improved well-being in addition to the phenomenal impact of transforming the shape of their body. As the program continues, we get readings on the InBody 320 machine to make sure you are getting your desired results and to constantly perfect the measurements for your daily meals. Shopping for, calculating, measuring, preparing, and packing food to this level of customization would be too time consuming for almost anyone to achieve regularly. Formula Foods takes all the work out of these impeccably planned meals so all you have to do is enjoy great tasting, fresh food each day. The age-old saying still rings true – you are what you eat. The food we put in our bodies has the greatest effect on the quality of our life and the way we look. We are happy that we can now provide a key to unlock an easier, cleaner, fresher way to eat throughout the week while achieving amazing results. Get on board…

Blackman Cruz specializes in extraordinary objects—the rare, the magnificent, the provocative, and the eccentric—in all their many forms. Their collection of furniture and decorative objects spans several centuries, many different styles of design, and a wide range of countries, from America and Mexico to Italy and France and beyond. Instead of period or pedigree, a particular aesthetic sensibility unites the showroom’s far-flung array of antiques and contemporary production pieces. Blackman Cruz’s approach to great design celebrates the virtues of drama, humor, ingenuity, and sculptural brio. Adam Blackman and David Cruz founded the company in 1993 as a resource for adventurous collectors and designers who share their passion for exceptional, idiosyncratic furniture and accessories. They filled the original showroom on La Cienega Boulevard with a heady mix of vintage treasures and alluring, offbeat curiosities from around the world. The partners soon began to complement the antiques with sympathetic contemporary objects of their own design, produced under the Blackman Cruz Workshop imprimatur. They cultivated their reputation as specialists in the exotic with signature pieces such as their bronze Op Table, Tri Ball Lamp and bronze Skull Lamp. By 2000, the BC Workshop collection had grown to encompass more than 50 pieces, ranging from chairs and tables to mirrors and lamps. Collaboration with artists has always been an important part of the work of Blackman Cruz. The BC Workshop collection includes sculpture and furniture designed exclusively for the company by artists Kathleen O’Keefe, Jeff Price, Alison Berger, and Lika Moore, Senior Designer at Blackman Cruz. Recently, the Blackman Cruz product mix has expanded into jewelry, with a range of exclusive pieces created by Pamela Park Proctor and Beth Orduna. In September of 2008, after fifteen years on La Cienega, the trendsetting shop moved its collection of dazzling curiosities into a much grander cabinet on Highland Avenue. Nearly triple the size of its original space, the new Blackman Cruz occupies the former home of the Probe, a gay bar popular in the 1970s and ’80s. The owners have maximized the dramatic potential of the vast-double space by installing monumental attractions and expanding the scope of their overall product offering.

Little shop of horrible hours Stephanie Mata's Never Open Store offers quirky items to those who can get in. December 12, 2009|By Bob Pool Los Angeles Times The Never Open Store is open only when Mata feels like unlocking it and allowing shoppers inside. Those who do get in are intrigued by the merchandise that fills every cranny of the 245-square-foot shop. Collectibles, eclectic art assemblages and funky antiques are crammed onto tables and shelves and hang from the walls and ceiling. Fanciful clothing and accessories are draped in any leftover space. "I pick who I want to come in here. I basically choose my clientele," said Mata, 47. "People put their noses to the glass windows to look inside and see if anyone's here. I can hear them asking each other why this place isn't ever open. They wonder how they can get in." When she is working in the store -- gluing odd pairings of items such as toys and ceramics together or customizing a battered picture frame for assemblages she creates -- Mata doesn't want to be distracted by paying customers. "I say 'no' with tact and grace. I'll tell them I'm cleaning and the shop isn't open," she said. "My store hours are hit or miss." A few moments later, Alexandra Guaderrama timidly poked her head inside the Never Open Store. "I saw the door open. I've lived up the street for a year and this is the first time I've seen this place open," the Cal State Northridge screenwriting student said. "It's amazing. The stuff here is random, eccentric, artistic. Some of the things are weird, but it works. It's perfect for Hollywood." Mata introduced herself as the owner. "I love your place," Guaderrama told her. "But why are you so rarely open?" Mata explained her philosophy as she checked the size of a green satin vintage cocktail dress that Guaderrama was admiring. "I'm the boss, and I don't like bad vibes," she said. Guaderrama commented on a dartboard that was riddled by labeled syringes, some bearing the names of deceased celebrities, and on a handbag decorated with tiny liquor bottles and an Alcoholics Anonymous emblem. "She gets it," Mata said, nodding. Like her policy with customers, Mata's prices are arbitrary, too. "Nothing in here is marked. I basically size people up. I know it's unethical, but it's based on what I feel -- whether I think they really love the item." She recognizes when studio set designers with a substantial budget to spend come in and charges them accordingly when they need a funky piece of artwork or a hip knickknack for the background of a scene. Young people decorating their first apartment on a budget are likely to catch more of a break. The green satin dress would be priced at $125, Mata said; the dartboard $75 and the handbag $125. Guaderrama left empty-handed but promised to return. The most expensive thing Mata has sold was a "cool chandelier I found on the side of the road" that went for $1,500. The cheapest items are $20 stainless steel fortune cookies. She bought a box filled with them at a clearance sale she happened upon in Northern California. Mata prowls garage and yard sales and thrift shops looking for one-of-a-kind items. "I usually like things that other people don't like. It's almost psychic -- spooky -- how things find me," she said. She has several "routes" that she travels on the lookout for castoff treasures on the nights before trash pickup day. Mata makes the loop about 1:30 a.m., after she finishes her shift working the door at local clubs such as the Roxy. Her longtime career as a professional doorwoman helps give her the financial independence to be picky about customers at her store, she said. It also has taught her how to politely tell them, "No, you can't come in." Her nighttime curb searching often pays off. "You'd be so surprised what people throw away. There are some amazing things. And the books that thrift shops throw out. It's heartbreaking. Sometimes I'll take the books and just leave them for people on a corner in a poor neighborhood." Mata's husband of 18 years, musician Dave Gibney, and their 15-year-old daughter, Molly, do not share her love of recycling, she said. They live in an apartment above another shop that is next to the Never Open Store. "When I find something on the street, they cross to the other side and pretend they don't know me," she said with a laugh. Mata decided to open her business eight years ago when her collection of objects d'art outgrew their living quarters. Her small storefront, built in 1929 at 707 N. Poinsettia Place, formerly housed a poodle grooming business and, later, a tiny art gallery. Both the merchandising and the nightclub door work come naturally for Mata. She was born in Las Vegas to a pair of designers who ran a clothing store that catered to such customers as the musicians and actors who made up the famed "Rat Pack." When she was 8 her family moved to Los Angeles, where she said her father worked with singers Bobby Darin and Tony Bennett. Her first husband was a musician who played in local clubs and that is where "somebody asked, 'Steph, can you do the door?' " and her nightclub career was launched, she said. Besides keeping the size of the crowd at the correct occupancy level, she turns away those who are underage, intoxicated or "are weirdos," as she puts it. For 18 years, starting in the 1980s, she held a series of daytime jobs in shops and boutiques on Melrose Avenue. "I did arrangements and design work without being compensated," Mata said. "I finally decided I might as well not get compensated at my own shop." She says she is comfortable as a merchant because her rent is reasonable and the income from her club "night gig," as she calls it, is reliable. So the Never Open Store remains open. Even as some shops on Melrose Avenue struggle to stay that way.
