GREEN SPRING CLEANING!
03.28.12
By Sheryll Alexander
We love using green products in the kitchen and all around the house, especially for spring cleaning. This year, why not take a hands-on class in a private Laguna home with a mother of five who specializes in all things natural?
Chelle Goodfriend, whom we have known for years as a caring health educator and top notch herbalist, is also a clinical aromatherapist and owner of Gaia's Garden Bath & Botanica, which offers organic, handmade, pampering and nourishing soaps and body care goodies. Now she is bringing her vast knowledge of all things natural to these private classes.
So, on Apr. 4 from 7-9 p.m and for just $25, you get to spend time with this wonder woman learning how to make inexpensive and toxic-free cleaning products. During the class and using just a few simple ingredients, you will make:
· glass cleaner
· all-purpose anti-bacterial cleaner
· room deodorizers, air freshener
· cleanser (for tubs, showers, pots n pans)
· laundry detergent
· toilet cleaner
· furniture polish
· drain cleaner
Participants will leave with a full bottle of anti-bacterial cleaner to take home. To register online, visit here

Botox anyone? Orange County's Premier Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Max Diamond has teamed up with Katsuya Restaurant in Laguna Beach for a "Beauty Rehab" party this evening, March 28th from 6 to 9 p.m.
Beauty Rehab is an opportunity to relax, enjoy a cocktail, eat some sushi, and hang out with your friends. Step behind the curtain for a private consult with Dr. Diamond and erase those crows feet and frown lines in minutes with the help of everyone's favorite wrinkle smoother.
Botox Parties are fast becoming a trend around Orange County as many people seek an easy and safe alternative to surgery. Botox and Fillers are now used by many to soften the wrinkles and deeper lines on your face. At Beauty Rehab the injections, which are be $8.95 a unit, will be performed by Dr. Diamond in a relaxed clinical environment. Before having the injections the Doctor will explain all about the procedure, do a consultation and quote on the area to be treated.
