The Hammitt Sample Sale
11.10.16
The much-anticipated Hammitt sample sale is the place to be for fashionistas on Saturday, Nov. 12 from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Manhattan Beach Country Club. The Circus Sale-bration--under the big top---is the final sample sale of the year for the Los Angeles-based luxury handbag and accessories company.
You can purchase the company’s luxury handbags, clutches, cross-body, totes and more at a discounted price. Hammitt handbags never go on sale at retailers, so the twice-a-year sample sales are a big draw.
You will be treated to generous raffle giveaways, gourmet bites, cocktails, circus-themed entertainment and of course, handbags galore. The event is free but RSVP’s are required. To RSVP visit here.
1330 Parkview Avenue in Manhattan Beach.

Handmade and Local The Peoples Soap Company
11.08.16
There’s nothing better than handmade soap—especially if it’s local and all natural. The People’s Soap Company is just that. Each bar is made with love by soapmaker Rachel Potucek in her Santa Ana workshop. She individually hand cuts and air cures soaps in small batches from whole plant oils and locally sourced ingredients like raw honey and organic golden jojoba.
We love the fresh, clean scents. There are about nine scents in all---such as Charcoal & Mint; Milk & Honey; Beer; Coffee Scrub, Balsam Fir; and Lavender & Mint. People’s Soaps make great gifts or something special for you! You can also order and find out more about her Reed Diffusers; Enzyme Deodorant that's Aluminum free; Bug Repellent Soap; and Beard Oils at PeoplesSoap.com
Local shops carrying The People's Soap Company includes East Fork Supply Co. in Santa Ana; Daydream Surf Shop in Newport Beach; and May/Martin at The Lab in Costa Mesa.
