L.A.’s Influence on the Middle East’s Sports Culture
Photo Credits: Al Haboob) Los Angeles has long been more than a sports city, it’s a cultural engine. The way LA blends sport, entertainment, fashion, lifestyle, and fan engagement has quietly rewritten the global playbook for how modern sports are designed and consumed. It’s not just about the game; it’s about the spectacle around it. The storytelling, the fashion, the celebrity ecosystem, the hospitality, the content; LA’s influence is now being felt thousands of miles away

Q & A with Dr. Christina Rahm, LA Living Magazine's January 2026 Cover Model
The start of a new year often inspires transformation. What does “New Year, New You” mean to you personally and professionally? To me, “New Year, New You” isn’t about reinventing yourself overnight. It’s about alignment. I’ve learned that the more I listen to my body and simplify my life, the clearer my purpose becomes. Personally, it’s a moment to reflect on what truly supports my body, mind, and spirit and to let go of what no longer serves me. Professionally, it’s a recom

Sleeping on a Cloud: Sleep Elevated: Inside The Sleep Spa and the Art of Hästens
Inside Hästens and The Sleep Spa In a city that understands luxury, true indulgence often reveals itself in quieter, more personal ways. At The Sleep Spa, the pursuit of rest is treated with the same reverence usually reserved for couture, fine watches, or bespoke automobiles. At the center of this philosophy is Hästens , a brand that has spent more than 170 years perfecting the art of sleep. This is the closest thing to sleeping on a cloud.

The holiday decorations come down, the light shifts, and suddenly the couch you once loved feels a little tired. The dining table has seen one too many rushed dinners. The bedroom, meant to be a place of rest, somehow became a catch-all for life’s clutter. January has a way of whispering, It’s time for a refresh.

Rewriting the New Year Narrative: No More Skipping Meals, No More Mindless Snacking — Just Sustainable Health
As the New Year rolls in, millions of us find ourselves staring down that familiar intention list: eat better, exercise more, lose weight, finally get on track.

Skipping meals during the day, whether in hopes of cutting calories or trying to “earn” a treat later, followed by unplanned snacking that leaves you hungrier, frustrated, and further from your goals. It’s time to flip

The Power Tables of L.A. Sports: Where Luxury & Hospitality Meet Before The Game
Photo Credits: Noel Vasquez / Sofi Stadium In Los Angeles, the real action isn’t always on the court or field. Sometimes it’s at the table before and after the game. Behind velvet ropes and private entrances, curated suites and chef-driven dining experiences have become arenas of influence in their own right where status, networking, and style collide in the perfect setting. These experiences have become so coveted that they make front-row seats feel like general admission.

Sailing with Aloni Ford!
1. You didn’t step into boating until your late thirties. What was the moment or feeling that made you say, “I’m really going to do this”? I didn’t grow up around boats, but one day in my late thirties, I found myself standing on a dock watching the water move like it was calling my name.

He Broke Me
Photo Credits - Chris Heck My heart first broke when I was six years old. I raced into my parents’ bedroom, ready for morning cartoons, and my childhood as I had known it was swiftly taken from me. I found my daddy, lifeless, lying on the floor. It was then, a month before my seventh birthday, I developed a fear of abandonment and the belief that I would carry with me my entire life: When I love someone, they leave . It left a void inside me. One that I desperatel
