Laguna Beach has quietly upped its game when it comes to indie retail, and Good Together House is a big reason why. On Ocean Avenue, the shop has spent the last five years becoming the kind of place people build a Saturday around. Part home goods store, part apothecary, part vintage jewelry counter, it's the sort of shop where a candle, a ceramic vase and a vintage silk scarf can all feel like they belong in the same bag.I will admit it, this is one of my favorite stores in Laguna Beach. The vibe alone is worth the drive, warm…

By Greer Wylder

June 30, 2026

A new wellness experience has arrived in Costa Mesa. Invita Head Spa recently opened its doors, and I had the opportunity to visit and experience a treatment firsthand.Inspired by the Japanese tradition of scalp care, Invita is designed to promote healthy hair, a healthy scalp, and total relaxation.

It's the perfect way to unwind, and I couldn't help but think it would also be a wonderful way to spend time with a friend.One of the things I appreciated most was how personalized everything felt.…
