SERVICE: Passport to Prana

Lately in our downtime the warm weather has us planted poolside, lounging and eating backyard BBQ.  Working out can start to seem like a big commitment especially when getting out of town is the only thing on our minds. Yeah, we throw our yoga mat in the car hoping to get some STRETCHING in, but wouldn’t life be easier if we could just pop into a class nearby? Haven’t you ever wanted to check out different YOGA studios in your area, but didn’t want to buy a package at each and every one? The answer is yes, and PASSPORT to PRANA has got you completely covered. LLSLA has all the information you need:

Introducing Passport to Prana, an innovative yoga business that just launched in Southern California that lets residents dictate when, where, and how they’ll take their yoga classes for a fraction of the price.   

Passport to Prana offers aspiring yoga enthusiasts and gurus a first-class ticket to wellness at over 30 yoga studios around Los Angeles and Orange County.  Card holders are entitled to  take a single class at every participating studio in their area without having to pay costly drop-in fees.  Want to learn Bikram in Downtown today, explore the Anusara style in Sherman Oaks tomorrow, and then try Ashtanga in Santa Monica next month?  No problem.  Not sure what these yoga styles are or even mean?  That’s perfectly fine.  Passport to Prana lets the fitness curious become both tourist and travel agent.  Members completely customize their yoga experience…from schedule to area of interest to neighborhood to workout level.   

Each Passport costs $30, making the cost of each yoga session less than $1. (That’s less than the cost of a yoga mat rental!)  Like all Passports, this one has an expiration.  Los Angeles regional Passports are good through November 30, 2011 and can be purchased at http://www.passporttoprana.com/  and select participating studios.

Passport to Prana is the brainchild of securities attorney turned yoga instructor YuMee Chung.  Her goal in creating the company is to make yoga accessible to everyone regardless of economic background.  

Passports are available throughout Canada, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, Tampa Bay, San Diego and for the first time ever, in Southern California.

SERVICE: The Skin Care QUEEN

UGH, it’s been a CRAZY couple of days, weeks, months, even years! Time to DE-STRESS.  Time to PAMPER and who better than YOURSELF?!

OK, so getting a WAX (at FANTASTIC prices!) may not be so relaxing, BUT having a luxurious FACIAL, complete with a FOOT MASSAGE to boot, is probably JUST the THING for letting go and forgetting about…well, you name it! Who EVEN cares!?

But probably the BEST thing about the whole, UNCOMPLICATED experience at RUTH’S SKIN CARE is finding about a little secret called LACTO.   And believe you, me, we’ve shared the secret with just about anyone who will listen.  We’ve been asked to send these little pots of MAGIC to friends and family all over the world!

WHY?  Well, that’s the million dollar question.  TRULY, Lacto is MIRACLE CREAM!  It works for just about EVERYTHING including Skin Flair Ups, Dermatitis and Eczema Attacks, After-Wax Precaution, Scabs, Rashes, Razor Cuts (even the GUYS swear by it!) and Zits (yes, Zits!),  And HARK, it’s good for each and EVERY member of your family, WHENEVER the occasion might arise. In our house, that’s just about every day!!!!!   Gee, why NOT try it…there’s a money-back GURANTEE! www.ruthskincare.com

At Melrose on the corner of La Cienega, RUTH’S is easy to RECOGNIZE.  Those signature white facial masks stare out at you from the window!!

This is a LIVELOVESHOP AFFILATE and one of OUR favorite places to detox.  Cardholders receive a 20% discount and should ask for EENA or AGGIE when booking.  TALK ABOUT BABULOUS!

SERVICE: Let’s talk LUXE

Planning a WEDDING, a BAR-MITZVAH, a FAMILY REUNION? You have the venue, but need the PERFECT PLACE for the out-of-towners? Or maybe, you are just simply VISITING LA. How about one that’s in an ABSOLUTELY AWESOME location with a price that will blow your minds? Let’s talk LUXE Hotels.

Well, hold on to your hats!  We’ve got JUST THE PLACE!

The special rate STRICTLY for LiveLoveShopLA card holders is $189 INCLUDING overnight parking!  And in this day and age, that’s a REAL deal in our book!

Suggest to friends and family a stroll over to IL FORNAIO at the corner of Beverly Drive and Dayton Way for BREAKFAST; lunch at E. BALDI for some great celebrity sightings and a wild and crazy night at MASTRO’S upstairs…uh, we’ve actually spotted Brangelina and friends here having steaks and sizzling martinis before sneaking out on the patio for a quiet smoke, a real NO NO in this town!!!

Other LUXE locations, for those who aren’t fans of the hills in Beverly, include the more resort-like option on Sunset (where it meets the 405) and coming soon…DOWNTOWN Los Angeles, just across the street from THE STAPLES CENTER!

Unwind the best way WE know how, THE BABULOUS WAY!

A BABULOUS Escape

With every new launch, it’s appropriate to start out with a big HELLO.  Before we ask you to TRUST me, BABS, my team and this awesome new website, we realize you probably have to RELATE, right?!!! So…to get to know us even better, we thought we’d invite you INTO a little portion of our world.Though most of us reside in the greater Los Angeles area, in the HEART of the action, we often escape to one of our favorite getaways, our home away from home…MALIBU…and guess what; it’s only a 20 minute ride from home!

Pictured here is where we go to UNWIND and usually just CHILL with a huge STACK of “reading material”…. WWD’S, The New York Times, People, Us, Newsweek, The Globe and The Enquirer (WHICH, by the way, may just win a Pulitzer Prize for its reporting of the John Edwards cheating scandal!)Ok, so that’s not chilling to many of you, but to us, it’s HEAVEN, especially if we’re sipping either a 64- calorie Miller Light Beer from the bottle, loaded with limes, or a Bellini made with Proseco and Fresh Peach Juice. Top that off with a few friends over for dinner, sunning on the glorious decks and having LAURA, the traveling masseuse work her magic as we fall into a deep snooze overlooking the magnificent Pacific Ocean.

AH, the beauty of a BABULOUS LIFE at the BEACH!
