It was held on the roof of Hollywood\u2019s Aster Hotel, with the weather cooperating beautifully. My contributing writer, Rachel, had never been there before, nor met the twins, so she said, \u201cIt was my first time at this hip hotel, and also at a Wow Creations event, and I really enjoyed the entire experience. I\u2019m a fan of the show Storage Wars<\/em>, which Matt and Mark used to be a part of, so I was excited to meet the guys.\u201d<\/p>\n Some gifts on offer as soon as guests entered, with the Harris twins on the left. Photo by Rachel Wilcox.<\/p><\/div>\n It was a very health-conscious event, which Rachel especially appreciated. She loved just about everything we discovered there! She said, \u201cThere were so many great people and items. I really liked seeing so many creative companies and learning about their innovative products.\u201d<\/p>\n So let\u2019s get to the highlights already, which were an interesting collection of items.<\/p>\n There were several actual material gifts, all healthful ones:<\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin, as is the big one at the top of this page.<\/p><\/div>\n Central Cali Caregivers<\/strong>\u2014This is one of my perennial favorite sponsors at Wow\u2019s suites. Rachel had been reading this e-zine\u2019s praise of their Miracle Healing Rub for years, so she tried it herself at the event, and told me, \u201cIt worked quickly on her wrist, and took the pain away. This salve has a nice scent and feels silky and smooth on your skin.\u201d But the real revelation for her was their medicated eye drops, which she was told \u201care used for clarity.\u201d She totally concurred, saying, \u201cAfter using a few drops, I instantly noticed clearer vision and my eyes felt good and refreshed.\u201d www.centralcalicaregivers.net<\/a><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Healthy Paws Herbal Labs<\/strong>\u2014This company was gifting a variety of items to help your pets with various conditions. Rachel has a dog, (which, very sadly, I do not anymore,) so she talked to the rep, and this is what she learned: \u201cThey have drops to help your pets with anxiety. What a good idea!\u201d She also checked-out their allergy drops to help with dermatitis and itching. She tried some out on her animal, and told me, \u201cThey worked pretty well\u2014she stopped itching after just two doses!\u201d www.healthypawsherballabs.com<\/a><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Whey Up<\/strong>\u2014Rachel went absolutely berserk over this energy drink, (which is whey protein with a caffeine kick,) because it\u2019s \u201cmade with coconut water, is designed to enhance your workouts, and contains twenty-four grams of protein,\u201d which she was impressed with. It comes in either blue raspberry or fruit punch flavors, which all guests got to sample right on the spot. Rachel declared, \u201cIt tastes great!\u201d www.drinkwheyup.com<\/a><\/p>\n Photo by Rachel Wilcox.<\/p><\/div>\n Sweet Cali Body<\/strong>\u2014This body and hair care company was gifting their Eden\u2019s Garden Body Wash. Rachel tried some, and says, \u201cThis body wash is made with all-natural ingredients, and was created to leave your skin silky smooth. There\u2019s no need for lotion after your shower as this product adds moisture to your skin as it cleanses.\u201d www.sweetcalibody.com<\/a><\/p>\n There were a few companies offering gift certificates for their services. They were:<\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Marc Edward Skincare<\/strong>\u2014This is actually my<\/em> facialist, so Rachel already knew about him. After meeting Marc, and learning about the machines he uses in his signature facials, she said the guests who received certs from him \u201care really looking forward to this star treatment!\u201d www.marcedwardskincare.com<\/a><\/p>\n Photo by Rachel Wilcox.<\/p><\/div>\n Rachel Scheff Design Studio<\/strong>\u2014Interior designer Rachel Scheff gave each guest a gift certificate for a consultation, along with an attractive and sturdy business card case, which we took to be representative of her neat designs. www.rachelscheffdesignstudio.com<\/a><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n No Pain All Gain Wellness Spa<\/strong>\u2014Rachel says, \u201cThe guests were excited to receive a gift certificate for their first Morpheus8 skin-tightening treatment from this Beverly Hills spa.\u201d She learned that the process is touted to \u201cleave your skin glowing!\u201d www.nopainallgainspa.com<\/a><\/p>\n And there were some services on hand that day. Those were:<\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Opt Health<\/strong>\u2014This wellness company was giving the guests B12 shots right on-site!!! (In our arms, not butts, so don\u2019t get crazy.) Rachel said they\u2019re \u201cgreat for boosting your energy and immune health, and are painless and easy.\u201d I\u2019m sure everyone was happy to get one to have the energy to get through the busy event! www.getopt.com<\/a><\/p>\n Tabitha giving a guest a tarot reading. Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Santa Monica Psychic Boutique<\/strong>\u2014There were three tarot readers on site, who not only read our cards, but gave us each a purple crystal when we left! Of her particular reader, Rachel says, \u201cTabitha was great and so accurate. I was pretty amazed with my reading. Now I\u2019m actually excited to see what the next chapter in my life brings.\u201d I had her daughter Amanda, who predicted all great things for me, especially in my career, so if you see me on your TV screens again soon, you\u2019ll know who to thank for giving me the nudge to get back to it! www.santamonicpsychicboutique.com<\/a><\/p>\n Some of the snacks. Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Since it was still a hot day, even though the crazy LA heatwave had broken, we were happy for some cold treats. Rachel tells us there was \u201cdelicious homemade gelato\u201d from Gelato Angels<\/strong> and \u201chealthy and delicious a\u00e7a\u00ed bowls with fruit and granola\u201d from Ubatuba<\/strong> Acai<\/strong>. In addition to those, we had \u201chealthy versions\u201d of donuts, which Rachel said \u201clook good and taste great,\u201d from Doatnut<\/strong>. And Smoke Lab Official<\/strong> provided tastes of their vodka.<\/p>\n Wow\u2019s charity of choice this time:<\/p>\n Everyday Action<\/strong>\u2014We enjoyed learning about this Hollywood-based non-profit organization that rescues leftover food from TV and film sets and donates it all to local communities in need. Rachel lets us know it was \u201cfounded by two veteran assistant directors who are helping to fight hunger and reduce food waste.\u201d She adds, \u201cI\u2019m so impressed with this group and all they are doing for many communities.\u201d I concur! www.everydayaction.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WOW CREATIONS PRE-EMMYS GIFTING SUITE 2024 I hadn\u2019t seen the Harris Twins, Mark and Matt, in a while, so I was glad to visit their new gifting suite a couple of days before the Emmys.
