WOW CREATIONS PRE-OSCARS GIFTING SUITE<\/h1>\n

The Harris Twins once again held their pre-Oscars gifting suite in what my contributing writer on this one, Stacey, refers to as \u201cthe swanky W Hotel in Hollywood.\u201d This one was in actual suites<\/em>, and the patio, on the second floor, whose layout so many of the guests are very comfortable with by now.<\/p>\n

Stacey had never been to a Wow Creations event before, and she said, \u201cSurrounded by great Hollywood-themed art, the suite was in full party mode when we arrived. We felt the energy and excitement right away. We were immediately greeted by not only the twins, but also by the hugely talented Japanese violinist, Shogo<\/strong>.\u201d And later on, this<\/em> former circus girl (yours truly, of course) was thrilled to see up-close-and-personal tricks being performed by The Circus Man<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Those entertainment interludes were lovely accompaniments to learning about all the gifts on tap. Here are the highlights of what we discovered that day:<\/p>\n

Vitabrid<\/strong>\u2014We spent a lot of time with the adorable rep of this skincare company from Korea. Stacey paid rapt attention to everything he told us and sums it all up thusly: \u201cThe basis of this line is the special Vitamin C each product is packed with. It\u2019s considered to be \u2018beauty in bioscience.\u2019\u201d They manufacture absolutely everything one could possibly need for beauty, not just for the face but for the hair, as well! Stacey says, \u201cWith shampoo, cleansing balm, face brightening powder, dual drop serum, deep hydration and moisture retention mask, this line\u00a0promises to create a more luminous complexion with real results. Judging from what we learned from the expert on hand, this line from Korea is the real deal!\u201d I totally concur with that assessment!\u00a0www.vitabrid.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Mperial Sportswear<\/strong>\u2014So many guests were clamoring for a colorful gift from this Florida sportswear company that Stacey and I had to practically fight our way over there! The designer, Michael Chandler, had many new items since the last time I met him. They now make leggings and hoodies, and even all kinds of bags<\/em>! Wow. (Good thing they were in the Wow suite because that\u2019s what everyone kept saying when looking at their wares!) The only hard part of the whole experience with them was deciding just which fabulous piece of apparel to choose that day. www.mperialsportswear.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Traveling Hands Massage<\/strong>\u2014I was so happy to see this company with which I\u2019m pretty familiar, and to introduce Stacey to them. They were doing mini chair massages right on site, for which the gift-gathering folk were most grateful. Stacey tells us,\u00a0\u201cI was lucky enough to be able to sample a few magical minutes of massage, and was floating for a while after.\u201d Even better than being treated to a five-minute treatment at the suite, each VIP guest received a gift certificate for a 60-minute massage, which they go to you to do! (Hence the moniker \u201cTraveling Hands!\u201d Duh.) www.travelinghandsmassage.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Donna Leah Designs<\/strong>\u2014This soon-to-launch fashion website was gifting a choice of a sparkly evening purse or a flower-appliqu\u00e9d fingerless glove. Of the latter, Stacey says, \u201cIn all my years and through all my travels, I can honestly say, I\u2019ve never seen anything like it before!\u201d So kudos to this company for coming up with something different for us jaded fashionistas!\u00a0\u00a0www.donnaleahdesigns.com<\/a><\/p>\n

ErasingTime<\/strong>\u2014This Woodland Hills spa which Stacey tells us \u201coffers non-surgical facelifts, and treatment for age spots, sun damage, scarring, hyper-pigmentation, acne, wrinkles, fine lines, frown lines, skin and hand\u00a0rejuvenation, and even vaginal rejuvenation!,\u201d handed-out gift certificates. I\u2019m sure the Hollywood looks-conscious crowd at the suite will be happy to use them before the\u00a0next<\/em>\u00a0major event! www.erasingtime.com<\/a><\/p>\n

SC Enable Oil<\/strong>\u2014Stacey says, \u201cThis stem-cell-infused regenerative beauty oil\u00a0from Japan\u00a0is the bomb!\u201d Their area of the suite was jumping all day. They asked us to sign a wall poster for them, and then took pictures of us. It all felt like I was back doing my TV show, when my autograph and pix of me were in high demand! Maybe this serum will make me look<\/em> as good as I did back then, too!\u00a0\u00a0www.sc-japan.jp<\/a><\/p>\n

Treeting Cards<\/strong>\u2014As the mother of a tween son herself, Stacey was especially impressed that two young brothers created this fun company. She explains, \u201cThese unique items are greeting cards that each come with an appropriate candy treat. They are\u00a0such<\/em>\u00a0a great idea, and so super cute!\u201d \u00a0Each guest got to choose his or her own card, which was pretty difficult with so many clever designs on display, especially since Valentine\u2019s Day was just a week away, and there were so many cute cards to celebrate it! www.treetingcards.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Primal Life Organics<\/strong>\u2014Stacey talked to this company\u2019s rep for quite awhile, and explains, \u201cThey gifted a sample of their gemstone facial serum, which can be used under the eyes and all over your face. What makes this great-smelling serum particularly special is the \u2018chi\u2019 power from the gemstones in each bottle that they say will help to draw out negative energy and balance your \u2018chi\u2019 which, in traditional Chinese medicine is also known as life force or energy. Who can\u2019t use a boost of positive energy and better balanced \u2018chi?\u2019 \u201d What she<\/em> said! www.primallifeorganics.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Cask Cartel\u00a0Premium Spirits<\/strong>\u2014Stacey cleverly says of this on-line alcohol company, \u201cWith over fifty-five hundred premium spirits available, its like the Amazon of Premium Spirits!\u201d Each guest received a box of a quintet of samples of some of their top sellers, along with a logo vessel to drink them out of. Clever. www.caskcartel.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Love Works Method<\/strong>\u2014This love-and-relationship coach was gifting something really interesting. It\u2019s a deck of Love cards, which are akin to Tarot cards, but these are for only issues of the heart. The reps told Stacey that they were \u201ccreated to assist you in receiving guidance, clarity, and insights about your love life whether you\u2019re single, going through a break-up, or in a partnership.\u201d I asked single Stacey to try them out; if she does, we\u2019ll let you know how they work. I think it would be fun to play with them, no matter what. They looked cool! www.loveworksmethod.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Nirvana Bars<\/strong>\u2014These sisters gifted a trio of their Daily Recovery Bars in various flavors\u00a0such as chocolate coconut, cherry pistachio, and peanut butter and honey. Stacey noted that they\u2019re \u201cmade with Turmeric Root Extract, among other natural ingredients, so these bars are not just yummy, but they promote\u00a0relief from inflammation associated with\u00a0exercise.\u201d Uh, couch potato moi is sticking with just yummy<\/em>! www.nirvanabars.com<\/a><\/p>\n

LaMonique Cosmetics<\/strong>\u2014Stacey tells us, \u201cThis affordable line of luxury mineral-based cosmetics, which are free of parabens and gluten, (and is also cruelty-free,) gifted attendees a Liquid Illuminator. It\u2019s a slightly-tinted sheer, lightweight liquid that brightens skin as it highlights and contours cheeks and brow bones.\u201d And what beauty-loving female does not need one of those<\/em>?! www.lamoniquecosmetics.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Sacred Wings<\/strong>\u2014This Holistic Health Consultant gifted what Stacey refers to as an \u201cOscars Survival Kit.\u201d It contained a stick of sage, (Mr. X and I sage our house on a monthly basis, and feel that it really does help); an oil to get rid of stress, (if that works, I\u2019ll get a whole vat of it!); and a blue Tiger\u2019s Eye crystal, which Stacey told me \u201cis known for its calming effect.\u201d More importantly, they gifted a cert for either an in-person mini-energy-clearing session, or a video call for the same purpose, for us busy Hollywood types who don’t even have time for our own health issues! (Have you met<\/em> me?) www.sacredwings.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Miracle Pain Rub<\/strong>\u2014This is a very aptly-named product because it really is<\/em> a miracle! Mr. X and I have been using it for years, me on my broken back, him on his krumping knees. The salve is infused with CBD oil, so that just might be the secret to it\u2019s pain-reducing abilities. No matter what<\/em> it is in there that does the trick, I\u2019m always happy to see this sponsor at Wow’s events!<\/p>\n

Dale Audrey<\/strong>\u2014This dentist was gifting a tooth whitening pen and a sample of her Ayurvedic oral pulling rinse in warm cinnamon. Stacey talked to her for a bit, and says, these items are good to use as \u201cpart of an overall program for optimal oral heath.\u201d www.daleaudrey.com<\/a><\/p>\n
