There were so many wonderful submissions.  I’m glad to hear that you are all happy with who you have become.  It’s not easy aging but doing it with grace and a little help from some product definitely makes the journey that much more fun!

I felt that with Galena’s positive attitude after all she’s been through she deserved to enjoy a little pleasure in a fabulous perfume!

At the “Green Music Event” last week I was introduced to the most amazing body buff and body scrub created by Nettie Davis a celebrity manicurist with a loyal list of followers. Her best friend Desiree pulled me aside and worked the magical body scrub into my hands. She used the grapefruit scented one and the smell was absolutely edible.  When she was done my hand looked 10 years younger and felt like a baby’s bottom.  She followed it with a body balm that I now can’t live without.  I keep it in my purse and just love they way it emphasizes my younger looking hands!

Nettiescrub which is made with lots of love by Nettie herself, contains the best elements of natural ingredients including vitamins, minerals, and oils with delicious fruit extracts. Her fabulous collection of products include exfoliants, body balms, soaps, and soy candles.

They make a wonderful Valentine’s Day gift so hurry up and get yours at nettiescrub before the 14th.  Below is a photo of Nettie (on the right) giving a manicure to Sue ( a journalist) at the Green Music Event for the Grammys.

Happy Valentine’s Day!  and remember to rock your world and others with Nettiescrub!

The entire staff greets you and offers you a beverage once you’ve checked in.  Everyone who enters gavert/atelier is treated like a celebrity for the day!

Nagomi Hair Spa you ask…Co-owners Stuart Gavert and Cody Kusakabe have brought this fabulous hair & scalp treatment over from Japan called Anma Shiatsu.  It is a combination of kneading, pressing, grasping, pulling, tapping and stretching to move energy in the body and to promote balance and restore health.  Anma Shiatsu will relieve eye strain, headaches, improve concentration, relieve physical & mental fatigue, stress & muscular tension. This service combines relaxation with hair treatment and a full scalp massage.  It’s main purpose is to stop the aging clock by doing all of the above.  And I can tell you first hand that it rocked…I felt so calm…like I was single again…no kids…no worries…get the picture…my stress level was at an all time low!

I had the pleasure of Yuki, a very skilled Japanese hair stylist and recently trained in the art of scalp massage, to work his magic on my ever tense head.  He started with acupressure and then applied essential oils to my scalp.  Then a healing shampoo was applied & rinsed. I was half asleep when Yuki continued pampering my head with a hair treatment and steam shampoo.  Hot towels were also applied for an added bonus of relaxation.  But here’s the kicker girls…Yuki massaged my arms & hands while my hair was absorbing an edible smelling conditioner…meow…I felt like a Persian cat basking in the sun on a lazy summer afternoon.

Yuki working his magic…

Then I was carted off to Matthew’s chair downstairs who worked his magic on my hair.  He skillfully blew it out and made my skin tingle!  My hair was shiny and lustrous for 3 days.  I usually have to wash it every other day so I was happy.

Stuart recommends “Anma” scalp treatment twice a month to maintain good health and to promote hair growth.  A treatment is $95 for an hour session.

Call today to book your “Anma” treatment at the new Nagomi Hair Spa located in the upstairs loft at gavert/atelier.  Start aging backwards now…(310) 858-7898

And if I want something more unusual, I fill a spray bottle each morning with a little fresh water and a drop or two of essential oil. This morning it’s 1 drop of Bergamot and 2 drops Clove oil. When I need a break, I shake the bottle and mist away. Empty the bottle each night and start fresh in the morning.
