What's something most of us want, but don't take the time to do for ourselves? Change our look for the better. Give your loved one, BFF or Secret Santa a gentle nudge towards the self improvement they've been talking about for months (Years?) with a well-selected, sure-to-be-appreciated gift certificate.
The best presents are rich in meaning, even if they are humble in price. Here are our favorites, along with the encouraging sentiments we think they express. And, speaking of sentiments, we hope you'll consider the one of sincere thanks local SCV business owners extend to you every time you shop locally. Keeping your dollars in Santa Clarita is a gift we all can be grateful for.
The year's most coveted gifts are all here - both in the following pages and the community you call home! Shop local for these fabulous finds and you'll "gift" twice - once to your lucky recipient and again to a local small business owner who's grateful for your patronage.
HAIR & MAKEUP
Beautiful new options for double chins, wrinkles and more are all right here.
Discover the difference between sugaring, waxing and laser hair removal.
The calendar says "spring," but in the SCV, temperatures are already climbing. Since the thermometer has a head start on summer, so should your beauty regimen.
The get-gorgeous color palette for bronzing, makeup, hair and nails is a click away.
SKINCARE
Summer's sunshine rays may beckon, but don't submit to the draw until you've read this. We found the best products to protect your face, hair and the most effective treatments to reverse the damage you may already have.
As women age, it becomes harder and harder to feel "beautiful" by society's standards. While we all work on making it easier to feel pretty in a culture that values youth, there are options that can make every gal feel a little more gorgeous - even if she's no longer shopping in the "juniors" section.
You don't need plastic surgery with these less- and non-invasive beauty treats.
When I asked the pros at DermaCure for the newest, best treatment for my aging skin, I didn't expect the procedure to involve a blood draw - but that's exactly what I signed up for once I saw the Vampire Facial® "before and after" photos. Over and over again, images of women and men with tighter, smoother, glowing skin appeared before my eyes - and I was ready for my own Kim Kardasian blood-spattered Instagram moment. (Kim's a fan - and so is Angelina Jolie!).
BODY & WEIGHTLOSS
"I'm 26 - and I wanted a breast augmentation because I wanted to fill out a bra! Purely cosmetic reasons, really," shares Beth*. "I've wanted to get implants since I was 18. At 26, I was ready." "Now" was the right time; she just needed the right doctor.
When I first heard that YOUnique Surgery Center & Medical Spa was coming to Santa Clarita, I was thrilled. Several years ago, I accompanied my mother to her cosmetic surgery consultation at YOUnique's surgery center in Santa Monica and we were both so impressed. Located directly across the street from the famous pier, the gorgeously-appointed office boasted incredibly-friendly, knowledgeable staff - and ocean views. When I heard about the location opening in the SCV, I was intrigued; Santa Clarita might have Awesometown, but we're lacking Pacific Ocean coastline.
Rachel* of Santa Clarita is 54, single and a mother of two independent adults. "They're out of the house, grown and gone!" she jokes when talking about her kids. "I'm dating, I take care of myself and I feel fabulous," is how she describes her life.
Diane S. of Saugus did something remarkable a decade ago; she lost 130 pounds.
I don't usually get medical-procedure advice from Khloe Kardashian, but when she overshared, "My sisters, they've had kids, and there's a vagina lasering thing to tighten. So in my household, all they do is talk about this vagina laser," I had to learn more. After all, I'm a mom who's given birth to three kids. If there's a way to feel better "down there," I want to know about it.
Chances are, you've heard of YOUnique Surgery Center & Medical Spa; it's the place celebs, and those who just want to look like them, go to look refreshed and revitalized. Featured regularly in national magazines and talk shows, YOUnique's Ocean Avenue location in Santa Monica has a beachscape view - but what you'll find at the Valencia location might be even more jaw-dropping: a new, younger-looking, healthier you.
