This weekend I attended the 5th Annual On The Go Mother’s Day Beauty event on the rooftop of The Thompson in Beverly Hills where I enjoyed a full day of pampering thanks to Olay, Joico, Bellacures and Ziba Beauty. Beauty bloggers, media and celebs all brought their moms, grandmas and sisters to this fun day of beauty which also included brunch delights and cocktails by the pool. I brought my dear friend Kelly, who has been like a sister to me ever since I first moved to LA.
Here’s Kelly getting her hair styled by Celebrity Colorist, Joico’s George Papanikolas; colorist to the Kardashians, Nicole Richie and more!
Kelly got a pretty pink mani and I got this bright purple one, thanks to Q Salon:
Guests also got their hair braided and styled by Celebrity Stylist Mika Fowler, stylist to Olivia Munn and Annalynne McCord:
Joico also provided an Instagram photo booth while promoting their new wedding campaign “Joico Wow’s Your Vows“. I loved the cute diamond engagement rings decorating the Joico cabana:
I was fascinated with the eyebrow threading by Glenn in the Ziba Beauty cabana:
Did you spot The Voice’s Christina Milian in that picture? Christina is such a beautiful and sweet young mom and it was great to see her with her gorgeous daughter, Violet, at this event getting a henna tattoo, manicure and learning more about the Olay Regenerist micro-sculpting eye cream & lash serum duo. We got to check out the OlayWowEyes app and see our eyes light up Times Square!
Cocktails at the rooftop bar were provided by The Teaologist who treated us to a selection of tea-infused cocktails by The Owl’s Brew – a tasty tea that’s crafted for cocktails and perfect for hot summer days, with or without alcohol. I had several glasses of the ‘Naked Arnold’ without the vodka…
The Thompson provided an amazing setting for this event. It was my first time there and I’m already excited to go back – the rooftop pool is the perfect place for a relaxing LA day.
I had such a wonderful time at this event and came home with a great bag of swag:
I’m excited to try these liners and mascaras c/o Ziba Beauty! I started using the Olay eye cream & lash serum as soon as I got home Saturday night – it promises smoother lids and nourished lashes in 1 week so I’ll share my before and afters with you next week. I can already see a difference in my lashes after just 2 applications!
In addition to all the fun I had this weekend at the On The Go Beauty event, I also visited the Unique LA Spring show at the California Market Center downtown yesterday and met with talented local designers and have lots to share with you about my visit. In the meantime, I’ll be spending my day packing and organizing for our move – I can’t believe it’s only a week away!!!
I’m back home from my Bay to Breakers weekend up in SF! This was my second year participating in this 7.1 mile race and I’m already planning my outfit for next year. Last year they officially banned nudity for the first time in the race’s 102 year history but I think that brought out more nudists than ever. I had a hard time finding shots to share with you that didn’t have nude runners in them!
The hardest part of the race was the big Hayes Street hill but there were dance parties and bands along the way to help us through.
I fell in love with this city all over again. I feel lucky to have grown up in the bay area – a free spirited place that celebrates diversity and freedom of thought and expression. I especially loved that the onlookers dressed for the occasion to show their support:
That Mona Lisa guy was one of my favorites!
In spite of all the fun, I was really happy to see the finish line and go back to my hotel and relax before hitting some of my favorite SF spots. I had the most amazing Italian food on this visit and was able to get to my favorite Irish Coffee bar two nights in a row – I can’t wait to share more pictures tomorrow!
