A MESSAGE FROM “OSEA”
As an Angeleno, the ocean is already a part of your life, and it’s about to become a part of your skincare 🌊
OSEA is clean, clinically proven skincare from the sea. Founded in 1996 in Malibu, California, OSEA set a new industry standard for clean beauty, creating safe and effective seaweed-infused skincare with a holistic approach to wellness and self-care. Their formulas are powered by a unique blend of pure, potent seaweed and active botanicals. Results You Can Sea®
That’s why it makes perfect sense that we’re partnering with OSEA and Surfrider Foundation to host a beach cleanup in Santa Monica this Saturday 6/8. There will be OSEA products and surprises included for all attendees as well as smoothies by SunLife Organics (while supplies last). Join the waitlist here 🐚
👋 OH HEY 👋
Mads here! Happy June Gloom to all who celebrate (against our will). Well, I didn’t let it stop me this past week. Recap incoming:
🌮 Visited one of my favorite taco spots in the city: Ditroit in the Arts District. If you’re in need of a good birthday dinner spot for a large group, THIS IS IT.
🧘 During the week, we put on a sound bath at this insanely gorgeous Swimply home in Bel Air. Our friend Rachel from Empowered Yoga led us through a meditation and the most relaxing sound bath. You can rent a home on Swimply by the hour to host your own event!
🌊 To kick off the weekend, we had our June Walk Club with Sanctuary. We were decked out in linens (which we will be wearing ALL summer long). We took a little beach stroll and went home with Sanctuary totes and other goodies.
🍽️ I checked out the newest addition to Melrose: Carmel. Must orders include: Moroccan frena, smoked eggplant, Mexican prawns, sweet potatoes, tortellini, and steak kebab. Great for dinner before seeing a show at The Groundlings, date night, catching up with friends, etc.
