The Harris twin\u2019s event was truly in \u201csuites\u201d this time, which I always enjoy. You never know what you\u2019re going to find in each room. It was held once again at the W Hotel in Hollywood, and even the pouring rain could not stop the incredible number of guests who wanted to join the amiable brothers there to celebrate the Oscars!<\/p>\n

My contributing writer this time was Roz, whose comments are all the ones in quotes along the way. She\u2019s actually a veteran of gifting suites, but had never been to a Wow Creations one before! She gave the Harris bros a big thumbs-up for \u201cputting on such a nice event, with lots of smiling faces to go around!\u201d<\/p>\n

And an added bonus is being greeted by the upbeat girls at the check-in table, Michelle Pugh and Kim Phillips. They make the whole experience extra-pleasant, and I always look forward to seeing them there.<\/p>\n

There were sooo many gifts this time, so let\u2019s get right to the highlights:<\/p>\n

All Organic Nightwear<\/strong>–This company was gifting beautiful, all-white sleepwear made from 100% organic cotton. Guests chose either a flowing gown or comfy pajama set. And they had models showing us what we\u2019ll look like in them, which was uber-helpful to everyone. www.allorganic.biz<\/a><\/p>\n

Marc Edward Skincare<\/strong>\u2014Marc Edward himself was on-hand to explain to the guests just how detailed his Red Carpet Facials are. I\u2019m sure that all of them will be happy to use their gift certificates to his West Hollywood spa to have their faces refreshed after this whole crazy awards season! \u00a0www.marcedwardskincare.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Climate Case<\/strong>\u2014I had never before seen these colorful insulated cell phone cases anywhere, so they were a wonderful surprise! Roz told me that they \u201cprevent smartphones from overheating\/freezing,\u201d which, with the crazy weather we\u2019re having in Southern California, can go either way these days! She added that, because they\u2019re made from \u201cdurable neoprene\u201d and are \u201cimpact-resistant and machine washable\u201d they\u2019re the \u201cperfect accessory for harsh outdoor conditions.\u201d (So I guess I can<\/em> go back to blizzard-y New York for a visit now!) And the hidden pocket appeals to my<\/em> spy-prone mind! www.climatecase.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Jackie\u2019s Cookie Babies<\/strong>\u2014The last time I had a container of these crunchy little cookies, I found them to be so delicious that I actually kept the whole passel for myself, and didn\u2019t share even one<\/em> of the tasty tidbits with Mr. X, which rarely happens. So I was happy to introduce them to Roz at this event. She was thrilled that there were gluten-free and vegan choices, and found them \u201cfun to munch!\u201d www.jackiescookieconnection.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Dixie Clothing<\/strong>\u2014These pleasant peeps were gifting a choice of two fabulous gifts! Roz perused the tote bags made from \u201cup-cycled\u201d jeans, while I set my sights on their colorful reversible skull caps, which are the hippest accessories right now.\u00a0 She told me she loved the bags which she deemed \u201cgreat gifts, especially for teens.\u201d And we both love a company like this who diverts hundreds of pounds of textiles per week away from landfills! www.shopdixie.ca<\/a><\/p>\n

Brevena<\/strong>–This skin care company that I was already a fan of was gifting their Daily Hydration Moisturizer. Roz was excited to learn that it contains a special ingredient that she says \u201chas been found to restore damaged skin.\u201d And as an avid tennis player and swimmer, which means she\u2019s always in the sun, we know she can use a bunch of that<\/em>! www.brevena.com<\/a><\/p>\n

OUE, Sky Space Los Angeles<\/strong>\u2014I had attended an event at this popular downtown venue last year, but I was too chicken to go on their famous glass-encased Skyslide. So, now that I spoke with their representatives again, and with Roz’s encouragement, we may just do it this year. I have a feeling that the rest of Wow\u2019s adventurous guests will all be headed there, too, for the fabulous 360-degree view of LA! www.oue-skyspace.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Schwarzkopf Professional<\/strong>\u2014This very known hair care company was on-site gifting enhancements for blondes. (I guess we redheads and brunettes don\u2019t need the help!) I actually think these products can be used for all<\/em> colors, but blondes need the directions<\/em>, if you get my drift! And Roz said the items are good for \u201ctinted hair because they\u2019re sulfate-free.\u201d www.schwarzkopf.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Takado<\/strong>\u2014This very interesting skin foundation from Japan comes in only one shade, which the rep told us is perfect for all<\/em> skin colors. It looked good on Roz\u2019s hand<\/em>, so I\u2019d love to see how it looks on everyone\u2019s faces<\/em>! It has SPF, too, so you don\u2019t even need to add sunscreen over it. www.takako-beauty.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Perfect Eyelash Essence<\/strong>\u2014This is the latest eyelash volume enhancing product to hit the market. It\u2019s\u00a0made in Japan, so I have high hopes for it! Roz has never tried any<\/em> of them before, so she was particularly interested in seeing just what this one can do. www.i-story-group.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Hemp Gorgeous<\/strong>\u2014This company was gifting their Plain Jane Body Lotion, which they told us not only soothes<\/em> your skin, but may also help with pain and inflammation. That’s because it contains CBD, a substance that naturally occurs in both cannabis and hemp plants. It\u2019s not the part that makes you high<\/em>, but wouldn\u2019t we all rather be gorgeous, anyway? www.hempgorgeous.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Ripe Strawberry Beauty Enzyme Drink<\/strong>\u2014Roz pointed-out that this \u201cnew, flavorful drink\u201d from Japan is\u00a0\u201cmade from organic strawberries.\u201d The reps said it\u2019s for \u201cwomen who aim for inner beauty.\u201d But they were all outwardly<\/em> beautiful when they told us that! And they had the absolutely prettiest, most mouth-watering display at the suite! Roz says, \u201cLet\u2019s drink to your health!\u201d www.ichigo-yakusoku.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Queen Enzyme by Aphros Queen<\/strong>\u2014Each guest received a canister filled with little packets from Japan, which contian digestive enzymes. Besides that it\u2019s all good for you to begin with, Roz suggested that they\u2019re \u201cvery easy to carry with you, for an added boost to your day.\u201d www.aphros-queen.co.jp<\/a><\/p>\n

Kandy Care<\/strong>–This is a boutique collective that was gifting high-grade cannabis edibles, in many fun flavors like Pink Grapefruit and Cotton Kandy. (Clever, all the Ks.) It\u2019s even available in real<\/em> cotton candy, which must be perfect for enjoying a colorful circus! I also appreciated their colorful packages. www.kandycare.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Daily Body Restore<\/strong>–This supplement combines probiotics with digestive enzymes to reduce gas and bloating. I have a feeling that any of the guests who were partying away Oscars week-end were happy to receive help with those<\/em> issues!!! www.dailybodyrestore.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Aubio Cold Sore Treatment Ge<\/strong>l\u2014This time of year, so many people are getting sick. And you just know that nobody in looks-conscious Tinseltown wants to be seen with a cold sore, especially around awards season. So I\u2019m sure the guests appreciated receiving this gel to help with that! Roz said, \u201cIt\u2019s always good to have on hand.\u201d www.aubio.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Karen Michelle Boutique<\/strong>\u2014I was happy to see the owner of this local boutique I\u2019ve shopped in! She was gifting little travel candles, which can also be used as a skin softener after it melts! Roz said that\u2019s a \u201cgood idea when you\u2019re on the road,\u201d so you\u2019ll always have moisturizer handy! www.karenmichelle.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Mama Taylor Fudge<\/strong>\u2014I had never shared this fudge with Roz before, so when she tried it at the suite, she deemed it to be \u201csuperior\u201d and mentioned that it \u201cmelts in your mouth.\u201d She said it\u2019s so good that she\u2019d be happy to give it as \u201ca gift anytime!\u201d \u00a0www.mamataylorstreats.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Nyakio Soothing Oil<\/strong>— Roz said of this face oil that helps eliminate redness, \u201cThe package says it all\u2014that it\u2019s for \u2018hardworking women in the sunshine.\u2019 And the roll-on container is very cool.\u201d I say, \u201cWhat she<\/em> said!\u201d www.nyakio.com<\/a><\/p>\n

What If<\/em><\/strong>\u2014Matthew Imes, the first-time author of this novel, was on-site to gift his book (along with a package of mints with the same cover art!–clever touch,) and answer any questions that the guests might have about it. Hindsight is an always interesting topic, so this should be an interesting read.<\/p>\n

Laser Lipo<\/strong>\u2014This was the right place to be handing-out gift certificates for a laser body contouring session, let me tell you! I\u2019m sure the guests were already making plans to get tuned-up before the next big event! www.ideal484u.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
