Secrets of the Red Carpet: Get the Glow from Sonya Dakar Skin Clinic & Paleta’s Detox Dual Treatments!!
October 8, 2013 | 
Author Nothing is better in LA than a gorgeous day except if you are invited to a celebrity suite at Sonya Dakar’s Skin Clinic!! I was invited to attend and while I have been to the Dakar Clinic many times, I had never met Sonya Dakar. I know Chef Kelly Boyer of Paleta and am obsessed with her food, pressed juices and detox regimens. This is a healthy food regimen that’s healthy and can beef up your protein if you need it because you are working out or recovering from surgery or if you want to take off a few pounds!
It’s amazing gourmet food that doesn’t taste like a diet. YUMMMY! So I got to meet Sonya and see one of my favorite people all in the same day at the same place!

Put a Little Effort into Tasty Labor Day Cocktails!
It’s a holiday- and it’s the end of “summer” except we all know (at least here in California) we could have summer for another 2 months.
But for those of you who are already looking at weather changes, I want to give you some fun things to indulge in for cocktails. I know that I tossed you a couple of cocktails yesterday but I gave you a ton of great treats to make as well. So make sure you did make something or create a riff off those items and start ordering those specific items because they will reappear back in the blog in fall posts about cocktails, food and treats.
Sweet, Tart & Tasty Treats & Drinks for Labor Day! Hustle to Make Them!
Making certain kinds of cocktails, desserts and treats can be difficult if you can’t find the right ingredients. I used to have both a black coconut salt and a pink Hawaiian salt and both went “poof” -gone- and there went my unique and very tasty way of working with meat, fish, fresh veggies and lots more. So finding exactly the right ingredients is pretty crucial. Here in Southern California, you might have to drive some distance or purchase a chunk of something that you might not use quickly unless you can split the batch of whatever it is with someone else who is equally enamoured.
