The Wow Creations Suite, presented by my favorite twins, Mark and Matt Harris, returned to the W Hollywood. My contributing writer, Alice, said the atmosphere there was \u201cswanky fun,\u201d and \u201cbuzzing.\u201d<\/p>\n

I always appreciate that the Harris Bros. have uber-pleasant help at the check-in table, in the form of Michelle and Kim, and all four of them have a knack for making every guest feel welcome.<\/p>\n

This time, they had a quartet of actual \u201csuites\u201d which housed the sponsors, so let\u2019s get to the highlights of them already!:<\/p>\n

ARTpocalpse NOW<\/strong>\u2014This was the first gifting suite for this newbie collective of artists. Some of the designers were right on-site, and they all helped each guest choose the one-of-a-kind gift they coveted most. Alice went with a \u201ccreative, distinctive, gorgeous hand-painted pillow\u201d by Karen White Designs. She was also impressed that when Karen wrapped it up for her, she did so with the same pattern bag as the pillow, along with matching tissue paper! How\u2019s that for \u201can amazing gift?!\u201d (www.artsnow.com\/kewzoo<\/a>) I chose a couple of original art pieces by Shaz Justice Fine Art, whose work I\u2019ve been a fan of for awhile now. I was glad to find two all-sweet drawings, because Shaz is known for adding a bit of gore to her cherubic images! (www.shazjustice.com<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Obelo Jewelry<\/strong>\u2014Alice deemed this Oksana Belo-designed line of jewelry to be \u201cclassic,\u201d with pieces that \u201chave an elegant, simple look.\u201d We were both drawn to the pearl drop earrings, (with either black and white pearls,) but you know that I<\/em> was picturing them with an LBD, while more casual Ali was thinking of wearing them with jeans and a t-shirt. www.obelojewelry.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Bedol Water Clock<\/strong>\u2014I\u2019ve had one of these water clocks for a few years now, and it works! I have no idea how or why, just that it does. You just fill it with water, and voila. No need for batteries! www.bedol.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Radio Head<\/strong><\/em>\u2014This is a novel by Rebecca Laclair, who was on hand to sign each one.\u00a0www.radioheadbook.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Sweetie Blooms<\/strong>–These hand-made candy bouquets are sweet, colorful, and yummy. Alice said they are \u201cgreat for any occasion.\u201d\u00a0www.sweetieblooms.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Queen C Hair<\/strong>\u2014This hair extension company wants to keep real<\/em> hair beautiful, too, to give the wearers of their products a good base. So to that end, they were gifting special shampoo and conditioner. Alice read the package and said that people who use it will \u201cbe rewinding back to the luster their hair originally had before all the processing they put it through!\u201d And that is<\/em> the goal, isn\u2019t it? www.queenchair.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Holistic Naturals<\/strong>\u2014This young mother was gifting bags of loose tea in formulas that help with a variety of ailments. Alice pointed-out that we should all try the \u201cSweet Dreams,\u201d to \u201cget some much-needed shut-eye after all the Oscars craziness!\u201d www.holisticnaturalsco.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Milkadamia<\/strong>\u2014Here\u2019s a new entry into the non-dairy nut milk arena. It\u2019s made in Australia using macadamia nuts, hence its clever moniker.\u00a0www.milkadamia.com<\/a><\/p>\n

McCoy Non-F<\/strong>\u2014I\u2019ve been familiar with this Japanese company\u2019s line of skin care products for awhile, so I was happy to discover a new one here. The Non-F Idol Faceline Cream is a lifting cream that\u2019s made with volcanic ash. If it makes us look like the rep at the suite, we\u2019ll take a case, please! www.mccoy-nonf.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Jewel Straps<\/strong>\u2014Who knew that there were so many ways to upgrade your visible bra straps? This company has a plethora of designs to choose from, including ones with bling, and just hip chains. www.jewelstraps.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Ziggit<\/strong>\u2014Alice called these little icons that snap on to your clothes \u201ca fun way to express yourself.\u201d\u00a0You can wear either just one at a time, or a whole bunch together.\u00a0\u00a0www.ziggitstyle.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Bloom Aura<\/strong>\u2014These lovely girls from Japan were actually walking around giving everyone (including the other sponsors<\/em>) gift bags with products from their two lines!!! OMG\u2014how nice was that<\/em>? There was a serum from this title line, and an all-in-one-foundation from Shanti Couture, which was created by someone labeled the \u201cJapanese Beauty Magician.\u201d If we all wind-up looking like these beautiful-skinned young ladies, you\u2019ll know the products worked. www.ebm121.co.jp\/en<\/a><\/p>\n

Bee23 Natural Beauty<\/strong>\u2014This Canadian company uses all-natural ingredients in their \u201cHotty Balms.\u201d The owner was on hand to help choose the correct one for each guest, such as the one for \u201cmature skin\u201d that she picked-out for Alice. If the next time you see us, she<\/em> looks as young as I<\/em> do, you\u2019ll know that it worked! www.bee23.ca<\/a><\/p>\n

Madam Pattirini Gin<\/strong>\u2014I\u2019m far from a gin expert, but the other guests seemed to enjoy their sips of this one from Utah. And I\u2019m a fan of the attractive bottle.\u00a0www.madampattirini.com<\/a><\/p>\n

IncrediWhip<\/strong>\u2014Since I consider all<\/em> whipped cream to be the best substance on earth, (as does Mr. X, and did my little mo,) I was happy to discover a new company in this arena. Alice tried some on-site, and suggested that, since it comes in flavors, it would be good \u201cin your morning coffee, as a creamer option.\u201d I was impressed with how they packed-up each canister of it for the guests, to make sure it was still perfectly fresh when they got it home. www.incrediwhip.com<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_8250\"<\/a>Crazy Loops<\/strong>\u2014When Alice saw these tiny adornments, she gushed, \u201cWhat a fun way to accessorize!\u201d You just loop them onto the front of your sneakers, or even onto a backpack strap. www.crazyloops.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Essentially Living Healthy Oils<\/strong>\u2014They were on-site mixing-up special blends for the guests. They made one for the cold they thought I was getting, but we should have made an anti-pneumonia<\/em> one instead, because that\u2019s what I came down with! Now I know what to ask for next<\/em> time!\u00a0www.essentiallylivinghealthy.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
