Talk about a CRAZY day.. and an amazing event, Lovely Lisa from Hippie Chicks Photography were on the guest list for the amazing Beauty Bash event at Exhale Spa featuring a slew of great fashion and beauty products. Thankfully it was a sunny day and when we met up in the Lobby of the Hotel – packed with tourists and business people — we knew we had to get up to the event because we were a bit later than most!
This was an Exhale spa sponsored event and it was REALLY great. One of the few during the day as opposed to early evening where one would have to do battle with LA traffic to get anywhere, Lisa and I met up at the Loews Hotel in Hollywood (right behind the theater where the Oscars are held) and upstairs on the same level as the pool and gym is the Exhale Spa!.
We were invited to get short spa therapies– which were totally booked out by the time we got there.
however we were able to munch on snacks and sip luscious cocktails courtesy of Altar brand organic cocktail mixees and check out the array of vendors at the trunk show.
Here’s what Lisa and I experienced while at the Exhale Spa Beauty Bash– photo essay
The check-in desk which is the gateway to the nails and the spa itself and the classes!
Exhale Spa Locker Room
Exhale Spa Lounge area near the desk and close to the gym and pool
The brands participating in this event included:
Innovative Skincare (IS SKincare) (The goody bags contained 3 full sized products from IS)
More Spa Ritual products!!
Altar Organic Cocktails representative talks to me about the brand as I am scoping out new cocktails to feature!
Altar Organic Non-Alcoholic Cocktails– featuring Bliss and Chi . Tasty too, Lisa liked the lighter cocktail while I liked the darker one. The flavors were fabulous!!
Bliss and Chi bottles!! (Buy them– buy one of each of the flavors!!)
The Spa Boutique- #1
Me caught reading labels in the Spa Boutique!
The rest of the Spa Boutique
More Vendors!!
Carmen Steffens Shoes— ready for this? REALLY– are you ready for these shoes?
Hand-embellished Crystal Pumps from Carmen Steffens
Flowered Sandals
Wrap Wedges
Killer Peep Toe Suede Pumps- Orange & Fuschia
See the spikes on the sole? That’s why they are “killer” peep toe pumps!!
Should you need your hair done, cut or colored, Harlot Salon will make you very pretty! (YES, the one from Venice does appointments at Exhale Spa!!)
So get your game on girlies. There’s lots or reasons to show up here.
The Loews Hotel has an amazing set-up at this hotel. The pool is next to the gym (and some nice hard bodies working out!)
Take a look at that pool!! Way cool!!
Here’s a view from between the pool and the weight room
Griffith Observatory in the distance on top of that hill. This is the view that the hotel rooms get. It doesn’t get any more Hollywood than this. Oh WAIT– yes it does. Check out the next photo!
This is the TRUE Hollywood scene complete with the Hollywood sign off in the not-so -far distance!!
Lovely Lisa and I were gifted with 2 bags chock full of goodies- from polish to skincare to iPad cases and tasty energy bars. As we left the hotel it felt like we had just left the looking glass and emerged back into the real world!!

I am sorry I missed this. I love the Loews in Santa Monica, but have not seen this one. How fun with shoes and everything!! I also want you to feature those organic cocktails and tell us more..
I did feature some of the cocktails over Memorial Day. TASTY!! love this brand. everything was amazing. people were very generous with their time..
IS serum — KILLER product!!
Omg, what an amazing event!!! I would have loved this:-) And those crystal pumps are GORGEOUS!!!
It was fun.. we hung out. I loved the orange suede peep toe shoes. The crystal ones.. tres chic.. and tres $$$.. they were locked up!!
This looks like it was quite the event! Thanks for sharing!
definitely my kind of place!
Looks like an amazing time – and so much to see and do!
I occasionally get to stay at the Loews hotels when travelling for business. It’s too expensive for me when on vacation, but is a HUGE treat when on a biz trip. I go to Miami on a regular basis, and the Elemis Spa at the Miami Beach Loews is absolutely fantastic! Now I have to see if I can get out to LA to try out your recommendation.
