“It” Lounge = Kari Feinstein’s Style Lounge *Globes Edition*

FacebookTwitterTumblrShare

Drumroll please…….

This years Kari Feinstein’s Style Lounge for The Golden Globes was held at the always interesting Zune LA, on Beverly Blvd. (Shout out to Kari and Tracy Pendleton !)


What is Zune you ask?  Zune is Microsoft’s way of incorporating nightlife and events with their Zune Ipod.  During the day, this former photo studio, is Microsoft’s office for Zune, and at night, for fun things like birthday parties, concerts, art exhibits, events, and more!

There are three different floors to explore and see all of the goodies that are up for decoration.  If you would like more info on this subject, call Zune LA at (323) 944 0702 or check out the space at is 8275 Beverly Blvd (although it is usually not open to just anyone.)

The bathrooms in Zune LA are very artsy and fun… we like creative bathrooms!

The themes for this gifting suite for me were: ADORABLE, MINIATURE, PETITE, CUTE LITTLE PACKAGING, AND PERSONALIZATION, all of which I and most girls love!

Now for the good stuff !!

The Fry Girl Inc.

As I checked in, the first thing that hit me was the smell of something amazing…MINI DONUTS!

It turned out to be this adorable little station called, The Fry Girl.

The inner fattie in me came out, as I asked The Fry Girl many questions about this amazing concept including: What are the most popular flavors? What is your favorite flavor? etc.  THEN she tells me their other specialities:

♥ Deep fried candy bars that are fried and served with powdered sugar and drizzled with choc and caramel sauce

♥ Gourmet french fries in black and white truffles, rosemary mayonnaise, thai ketchup, sea salt and ,alt vinegar, chipolte mayonnaise, and garlic aiolo sauce.

♥ Choco-waffles, Ice Cream, and Apple fries

I know, you are thinking heart attack on a plate, right? The most scrumptious aspect of all is that these mini donuts are not bad for you! One mini donut is 26 calories, with 3.5 grams of carbs and 1 gram of fat.

Can I get a hellll yaaa?

I just want one of these because it is sooooo cute, omg.

Um, who wouldn’t want this car lol?

Contender for most adorable business card, everrr

Usana healthcare

The next booth I hit was for Usana Vitamins, and let me tell you, this was such an amazing idea to have at a suite that caters to celebrities.  Why you ask? Because celebs are often very busy and will forget to take their vitamins, and with traveling and stress, need a good night sleep.

Usana wants to make being healthy EASY for you.

Usana customizes these boxes of vitamins for you, after you answer a few questionairs about your life style and habits, then sends you this box that has all of your daily vitamins in one little cute plastic pouch.

The three products that I was told would be beneficial for our readers are MY HEALTH PAK, Melatonin, and Probiotic plus.

My Health Pak – Why this is beneficial:

Its dummy proof….The box opens up to a visual picture of which vitamins you have in your box (exact picture for your convenience).

There is no having to go to all these different vitamin bottles everyday and not having a small place to put them, until you take them.

This kit was made for YOU, not like taking 10 vitamins which you just randomly heard about from Dr. Oz and decided to take.

This is soo cool: You take a 1 minute personalized questionnaire, and then it tells you exactly what you need to take and when.  My results are below.

I was also gifted Usana’s Pure Rest and Usana’s pro-biotic plus.

Pro-biotics are very important because they promote healthy digestion and immune system, and balance out the good and bad bacteria in the gut.

I lovee the packaging for this product, it is soooo adorable and it is so easy to take !  All you do is: Take one of the tiny packets–> empty into any cold drink –> drink up = no bad taste

The last amazing Usana product is Pure Rest, an orange flavored dis-solvable tablet to help aid with sleep.  This product is made with melatonin, a popular natural occurring hormone that regulates ones sleep cycle.  THIS is NOT a sleeping pill, so it doesn’t have any narcotic addictiveness.  Yay for pure rest !

Why was this good to bring to the gifting suite you ask? One reason being is that actors and actresses need sleep in order to look healthy and bbbbeautiful for the upcoming award shows.  One might be anxious and or nervous for The Globes Saturday night and not be able to sleep… que in Pure Rest.  Celebrities also have jam packed stressful schedules, so perfect for a good nights rest, or for when traveling and need to catch up on sleep.  Pure rest is a god send to take because it is natural, non habit forming, and safe.

Foot Petals

The most genius thing ever..

I’m going to tell you a little story…. My Aunt, Liz (Hiii Auntie !!), has a relative who has always had the worst looking feet ever, as a result of not wearing Foot Petals.  This woman, Woman X,  has bunions, blister scars, and gnarled crossed toes… just ugly feet.  According to my mom, she wore shoes that did not have any cushioning (like Foot Petals gives you) and shoes that did not fit her.  My whole life, my mom has always told me to only buy shoes that fit perfectly and to make sure I put cushions and strip thingys so that I did not end up with feet like Woman X.

I had a job once where I had to wear HIGH heels for hourssss; it was miserable.  I was very phobic that I would develop bunions, gnarly toes, ugly blistered heels, etc, so I obvi stocked up on my supply of foot petals.

See the people at Foot Petals really care, and that’s why they made this adorable handy dandy little tin box to keep in your car.  Talk about convenience !

Another great thing about Foot Petals is that the booklets, instructions, and actual supplies are idiot proof.

Don’t end up with feet like Woman X, buy some Foot Petals.

What comes inside the handy dandy tin box

I saw this chair and decided that I either  had to have it or had to take a picture of it… It wasn’t for sale, so I just decided to live with taking a picture.

Infinity Sun

Infinity Sun, the only carbon neutral sunless tanning company, provided their famed tanning service for the lucky attendants of the Style Lounge.

The only sunless tanning system that tans you while acting as multi treatment skin care… Yes, I said sunless tanning + skin care, cool right?

This was another great station to have at the Style Lounge because -face it, we all know it- stars get spray tans before award shows, so this was very convienent !

Infinity Sun’s Celebrity clientele: Brooke Burke, winner of “Dancing With the Stars”, Jessica Alba, Giselle Bündchen, Brittany Spears, Paula

Abdul, Adrien Grenier, Lindsay Lohan, David Beckham, etc.

Featured on TV shows: Sunset Tan, Millionaire Matchmaker, Entourage, The Style Network’s “Style Scenes”, E! Entertainment’s Academy awards “48 hour make-over”, Dr 90210, and many other TV shows!

This the new Spa Lite™, a portable spray tanning machine that boasts a unique and stylish design, state-of-the-art technology and 100% recyclable “Bag in the Box” solution.

Paris asked for her own in pink!

Reebok

The Reekbok station was very popular on the day that I went.

The big to do with the Reebok station is that they are the original makers of this “gym-in-a-shoe sneaker” that many other brands are now copying (lame). I have worn these around a little and they are really cool because the rounded bottom makes every step you take essentially like walking up a stair. It’s the same principle as the elliptical machines at the gym and this shoe technology was actually originally developed by Reebok in-house scientist. This shoe with brains will minimize the workout and maximize the walking you already do with a sole that forces your muscles to tense and flex with every step you take.

Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) with Reebok

I personally need Reebok Easytone’s because the bottom has spiral cushioning for added comfort and they are supposed to reduce fatigue and activate key leg muscles.  I never run or jog, because when I do, my legs get tired and cramp very easily; I hate exercising, with a passion.

Retro Sport

The guys were so excited to get their favorite sports apparel from the Retro Sport station!

You will no doubt be seeing all the hot guys wearing this collection during the upcoming football games.

Retro Sport is a brand that recreates old collegiate, NFL, NHL, Vintage Minor Leave Baseball, and other sports related t-shirts.

Let me tell you first hand, these t shirts are soo comfy and have the vintage feel that everyone loves.

The funniest pictures of the day definitely were with the Retro Sport Mascot.
