Putting on the glitz

April 9, 2019/14.21

It’s not every day that the lobby of a prestigious medical practice transforms into a restaurant. On April 2, however, that is exactly what happened at Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery in the heart of Beverly Hills, Calif. Festooned with golden balloons and a gilded floral centrepiece, BHPS, along with Jenn Betts of Innovative PR, hosted […]

Lift your spirits and your skin in time for the holidays

December 9, 2018/9.09

Looking younger may forever be is a priority for most of us, so the fast-approaching holiday and red carpet season make it a an urgent necessity. Sure, there’s lots of marvellous make-up and fabulous facials that do a decent job of covering up or provisionally improving our reflection, but those are temporary. Life is too […]

Organically speaking

November 30, 2018/11.21

After a stressful (and scarier-than-usual) October, it was wonderful to step out and head to Organic Spa Magazine’s fifth annual Travel and Wellness Media Event. This event happens to be one of our favourites, and we like to think of it as a bit like Hallowe’en in the sense that you get handed a bag […]

New beauty highs at the TMG

March 7, 2018/8.12

We selected TMG + Cirem Cosmetics Pre-Oscars Luxury Suite as the last stop on our ‘Tour d’Oscar 2018’ for a reason. After our marathon sprint around this past week’s bustling super-suites, there’s something nice about a party involving lots of relaxing, pampering, and comfy sofas to rest our still-weary feet.    Ironically, TMG’s get-together was […]

June 10, 2017/0.21

Courtesy ISPA; Elyse Glickman While we pick and choose what invitations we accept (especially during the summer), the annual International Spa Association (ISPA) invitation is one we welcome wholeheartedly. While the Montage Beverly Hills hotel has one of the best spas in our area, we truly enjoyed the ‘Trailblazer’-themed event where its ballroom transformed into […]

Enjoying a “beauty rest” at the Mondrian; and hair revival in Beverly Hills

April 24, 2017/13.03

Elyse Glickman Award show season may be over, and the Coachella fashion parade has run its course. However, Los Angeles’ first heatwave provided a convenient excuse to play hooky from pressing writing assignments to hit Charmed PR’s friendly little showcase of beauty products and a pick-me-up pedicure or manicure. The backdrop of the Mondrian Hotel’s […]

C’est Jolie: old Hollywood charm meets serious skin renewal

April 4, 2017/14.03

Above: Le Jolie Medi Spa opens in West Hollywood. Medi-spas in Los Angeles seem to open and close quicker than a shot of Botox. Some of them respectable, many of them flash-in-the-pan operations.
