This is pretty much me. So, to feel better and to support local businesses, I’m making a list of all the things I’m going to do now to get my sh*t together and what I’m going to do the instant I “get out” (hair, tan, wax, gym, etc). What’s on your list?

First stop...immediate gratification:
Organic Bronze Bar Bridgeport. The nation’s first airbrush tan made with all natural, paraben-free and organic ingredients. Get an Organic Airbrush Tan for half off!

🔥Love and miss Fuel Yoga so in the meantime the goal is to take advantage of their free daily Fuel online workouts:

If you are a fan of Star Cycle, show them love and stock up on 10 classes for $100 (that's 55% off) — which also grants you VIP access to their new online portal; an online library of at-home workouts on the bike and off.

Want an instant makeover? Get a "happy hour" airbrush tan at the Organic Bronze Bar for $35 and a Classic Lash extension at the Lash Lounge in LO or NW 23rd for $120 OFF when you mention us...and then forgo makeup - yay!

You guys...! Forget the gym or botox, nothing transforms you more dramatically than lash extensions; immediate results that transform you for so little investment. (Or just tint your brows and lashes and forget makeup.)

THE LASH LOUNGE has recently opened two salons (in downtown LO and NW 23rd), and to celebrate mention Portland Picks and YOU get 50% off your first set of classic lashes (that's a savings of a hundred bucks!) ...It's all the rage. Do it!

[This might be self-serving] but can we make wigs “a thing”? Imagine if wigs were the swag accessory and not just a stigma necessity of our sisters with chemo?l We were all in. What if we all wore them and we could buy them like handbags on the main floor of Bergdorfs. High style wigs could trump hats, scarves, shoes…how fun to collect a closet full of hair styles to match every mood and outfit. No accessory can transform you more dramatically. Can we make wigs a thing?
Gucci liked the idea.

Shh

Predicting the next trend: SLEEP
(NYC now has Nap Pods. Google it. OMG Genius.)

This past year we have been, more than usual, waking up with anxious ruminating thoughts -- and NOT sleeping. (The state of the world feels catastrophic at 2 am, 3 am, 4 am...tick.tick.tick.) Does anyone else have this problem?

Out of desperation we developed a sleep-on-demand app, seriously! And it completely works. Problem solved. It is customizable, it has a timer, the shh-sound (aka the soothing white noise) clears racing thoughts, while the lapping waves and spa music relaxes you..and you are out like a light; no drugs necessary. Nothing worked so we made it.

Download it for iPhone or Android (here and keep next to your bed. We hope it helps you. It totally works.
