Health & Beauty

Miranda Kerr is headed to Chicago. The Victoria’s Secret model and natural-health enthusiast hits Sephora (605 N. Michigan Ave., sephora.com) on Saturday to introduce products from her new Kora Organics Noni Glow Collection (koraorganics.com). Chicago is Kerr’s first U.S. stop as she launches the products stateside. So, locals will be among the first to quench dehydrated skin with Noni Glow Body Oil—or rev up their heart chakras with Kerr’s Love for All Heart Chakra Aromatherapy Oil. The line also contains a face oil and the Noni Glow Superfood Dietary Supplement powder.

In case you’re curious, Noni is a fruit that Kerr has been juicing and drinking since she was 13 years old. “I really feel that it’s the key to my health and vitality,” she has said. Have more questions for the model? You can ask her yourself on Saturday.

Yoga Six (yogasix.com) has partnered with Willis Tower’s Skydeck for an unusual yoga experience that ends with a toast. Dubbed Sky High Silent Yoga, the July 13 event will treat guests to “silent yoga:” Each guest will get an individual pair of headphones, and will listen to poses and DJ beats through them. After the 60-minute class comes a beer tasting. Tickets are $45; reserve yours here.
