I can\u2019t state the ambiance of the suite better than my contributing writer Roz did, so here are her words about it: \u201cThe room was alive with the sound of harp music, played by Karina Ward<\/strong>. What a lovely way to embrace brands and attendees alike with lifting and floating sounds that only a harp can make. Interesting to note that outside temps in Los Angeles were running high, into the high 80s on a sunny winter day, but the inside where stars and products could mingle became something that was super cool, both figuratively and literally.\u201d<\/p>\n Among the celebs we spied, (including E.T.<\/em>\u2019s Dee Wallace<\/strong> and Criminal Minds<\/em>\u2019 Joe Mantegna<\/strong>,) Roz was the most excited to see Sex and the City<\/em>\u2019s Chris Noth<\/strong>. I have seen him on only the recent TV show, The Equalizer<\/em>, and I must say that he looks exactly the same in person. I helped him get a special palm reading right after we got ours, so I hope his was as fun as mine was.<\/p>\n So let\u2019s begin the highlights of the gifts and services right there:<\/p>\n Karen Salkin’s palms being read. Photo by Roz Wolf, as is the photo at the top of this article, of Karen Salkin signing the celebrity poster.<\/p><\/div>\n Japanese Palm Reading by Maika Cenju<\/strong>\u2014This was so fun! As soon as we entered the event, a friend who was on her way out ran over to me and told me I just had to do it! Maika Cenju, (who is also an author,) did the reading, but, since she doesn\u2019t speak much English, she had an adorable girl interpreting for her. And they both gasped the second they looked at my palms. They declared, “There’s sooooo much going on in your head!” Duh. Have they met<\/em> me?! They showed me the line that goes back to when I was little, and started laughing because they said my brain was the same way back then! So we know that they definitely can read palms correctly!!! Roz\u2019s turn came next and she deemed the experience to be \u201creally delightful,\u201d and added, \u201cWithin five-minutes, my reading gave me a Star<\/em> Trek<\/em>-like experience because now I think I will live long and prosper.\u201d<\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Bluelene<\/strong>\u2014I\u2019ve used some of this company\u2019s products before, but they were new to Roz. She looked over several of the items and declared it to be a \u201creally cool skincare line.\u201d She sampled their Eye Plus+ serum on the spot, and tells us that it\u2019s \u201csoft and subtle,\u201d and \u201cfeels really good.\u201d www.mbluelabs.com<\/a><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Beverly Hills Smile Care<\/strong>\u2014This female dentist was on hand to answer any dental queries the guests might have. She was also gifting a package of an exam, consultation, and teeth whitening, which, trust me, Mr. X and I keep noticing that waaaay too many people, including actors, need these days! (But her rep, Erica, has the most beautiful skin<\/em>, so maybe they should include dermatology into their practice since they already have the perfect face<\/em> for it!) And their business cards have the best-feeling texture ever, so I would trust them with aesthetics! www.beverlyhillssmilecare.com<\/a><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Art Lewin Bespoke<\/strong>\u2014I agree with Roz who says, \u201cIt\u2019s always a pleasure to see Art Lewin!\u201d At each event he does, this bespoke tailor has a different gift bag to surprise us with. Roz says that she \u201cespecially loved the silver-tone pocket square and bowtie\u201d in the one we saw that day. She adds, \u201cI\u2019m sure they can elevate any<\/em> attire.\u201d On a side note, I spoke to my great friend, movie star Elliott Gould, the other day, and he mentioned that the best suit he ever got was one Art made for him! So now I\u2019ll have to get one for Mr. X, as well! www.artlewinbespoke.com<\/a><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Bailin Botanicals<\/strong>\u2014This skincare line was gifting a pretty bag of a duo of their products\u2014Transformative Hydrating Wrinkle Reducing Face Cream and Illuminating Hydrating Face Oil. Roz sampled both, and tells us, \u201cThe products have a nice fresh smell, and both were easily absorbed into my skin. Very hydrating. And they have beautiful packaging, to boot.\u201d www.bailinbotanicals.com<\/a><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Invanti Electric Bikes<\/strong>\u2014This electric bike company could not give away bikes, of course, so they did the next best thing\u2014they gifted air pumps instead. Clever. Roz checked one out, and admired that \u201cit\u2019s small enough to fit in a backpack or purse, and gives precise pressure so you can inflate a tire with confidence.\u201d www.invanti.com<\/a><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Central Cali Caregivers<\/strong>\u2014I\u2019m always happy to see this wellness products company for two reasons. One is that the reps are always pleasant, including the newest member of the team\u2014the owner\u2019s adorbs eight-year-old son! Second is that my perennially-painful back lives for their famous Miracle Healing Rub! I highly recommend it to everyone, especially the Wow Creations guests who must have been exhausted from all their gift-gathering! www.centralcalicaregivers.net<\/a><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Dr. Monica\u2019s Natural Beauty<\/strong>\u2014This fragrance company was gifting a choice of their Moonlight Mahogany, (which Roz says \u201csounds so romantic,\u201d) or Egyptian Goddess, (which she says, \u201calso sounds good, and probably makes you feel really confident.\u201d) She spent some time with Dr. Monica herself, and really liked her, telling me that she \u201chas a positive energy and a passion for inspiring others,\u201d and that it \u201cwas lovely meeting her.\u201d www.drmonicasnaturalbeauty.com<\/a><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Scalp Sanctuary<\/strong>\u2014This Pasadena hair salon was gifting a moisturizing shampoo and a hair masque, which should come in handy for those guests with dry hair. If I can find some time to get out that way one of these days, maybe I will review their services for you because, after all, no one has more hair than I do, so they\u2019ll have a lot to work with! www.scalpsanctuary.com<\/a><\/p>\n Mela & Co.<\/strong>\u2014This company took care of the guests\u2019 hair and body in one fell swoop by gifting a little bottle of cleanser that covers both areas! Roz says it \u201calso smells really nice and fresh, which is always a good thing.\u201d www.melaco.com<\/a><\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Ungun Institute<\/strong>\u2014The organization specializes in ways to \u201cdisarm trauma.\u201d They were at the suite mainly to impart information, but they were kind enough to serve adorable little bottles of homemade lemonade, created by none other than a twelve-year-old girl, who was on site to greet the new fans of her beverage. They also gave-out samples of Carmen\u2019s Healing Butter, which Roz tried and said \u201chas a delightful feel.\u201d www.unguninstitute.com<\/a><\/p>\n Karen Salkin’s head sticking out of the perosnal sauna. And no–she did not cut her luxurious locks–she just put her hair behind her on top of the sauna! Photo by Chris D’Angelo.<\/p><\/div>\n Relax Saunas<\/strong>\u2014Right before we left, we had the most interesting experience, which Roz described as \u201csomething new and novel\u201d\u2014sitting in portable saunas!!! It was a riot. And I\u2019m sure it\u2019s helpful to our health, as saunas are known to be. Only our heads stuck out, and, even with clothing and full jewelry on, we didn\u2019t get sweaty or uncomfortable. All I needed after that was a bottle of water. And a pillow!!! www.relaxsaunas.com<\/a><\/p>\n Stanglwirt Resort<\/strong>\u2014VIPs received a gift certificate for this luxury and wellness resort in\u2026Austria! Not exactly a hop, skip, and jump, but that\u2019s the point, right? Two of the friends I love most in the world live there, (in Austria, not at the resort, of course,) so I\u2019d be thrilled to finally get to see them again! I got a gander at one of the certs, and I noticed that part of the gift is a complimentary massage for each guest! So I wonder if I travel alone, can I visit the spa twice<\/em>? www.stanglwirt.com\/en<\/a><\/p>\n We also noticed a variety of new books on offer, but were time-constrained, so we didn\u2019t get to interact with the authors. But two of the titles are Unshakable<\/strong><\/em> and Life Storms<\/strong><\/em>. I hope the former is not true of the latter!<\/p>\n Having sustenance at these events is always appreciated, so everyone looked happy that feeding us along the way were Gino\u2019s East<\/strong> pizzas and famous\u00a0Randy\u2019s Donuts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WOW CREATIONS 2026 OSCARS GIFTING SUITE The Harris twins recently put on yet another happening event at the Universal Hilton.
