Storytime at Cilek Kids Room
08.20.19
In a partnership with the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity, Cilek Kids Room at SOCO is holding monthly Storytime events from now through October. These hour-long interactive activations all feature live music, dance, and storytelling with each Storytime event finishing with a parent and child activity that relates to the subject of the story told. Once Storytime is complete, families are invited to the SOCO Farmers’ Market to take part in a tasting tour with Market Bucks-tokens that can be spent on anything inside the market.
Cilek Kids Room’s second Storytime event will take place on Saturday, August 24 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. inside the showroom and will feature a Corduroy reading along with a bear ear construction craft.
All Storytime events are free to attend and registration is required. Please sign up for any and all Storytime dates by visiting: chuckjonescenter.org.
Cilek Kids Room – SOCO is at 3315 Hyland Avenue, Suite B in Costa Mesa.

Nikki Beach Celebrating Life for 20 Years
08.19.19
Nikki Beach, the family-owned and operated global luxury lifestyle and hospitality brand, has been “Celebrating Life” for 20 years. What started as a lovely tribute to the late Nicole Penrod has blossomed into an international hospitality sensation with 13 beach clubs around the world, five hotels, and an influential lifestyle brand. Most recently, Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Santorini opened this month.
To mark the 20-year milestone, Nikki Beach has partnered with ViX Paula Hermanny to produce a stunning white one-piece with a plunging back, adorned with Nikki Beach’s logo and Forever Young slogan.
Guests who buy this exclusive swimsuit will also receive a co-branded Forever Young bikini bag as a gift with purchase. An overriding theme for Nikki Beach throughout its 20th year in business, Forever Young embodies Nikki Beach’s vibe and philosophy: free-spirited, barefoot chic, sunshine daydreams and making magical moments with friends and family.
This $198 suit and additional styles are available for sale at Nikki Beach Lifestyle boutiques in Saint Tropez, Monte Carlo, Ibiza, Miami Beach, Saint Barth, Marbella, Mallorca, and Versilia.
