DOWNTOWN—If you've always felt that a day of pampering at The Ritz-Carlton Spa (900 W Olympic Boulevard) was financially out of your reach, consider their Summer Spa Soiree this Thursday from 5-8pm, which lets attendees preview their indulgent services at purse-friendly rates. In addition to complimentary poolside yoga sessions, champagne, healthy snacks, and consultations with representatives of exclusive beauty brands like Dr. Dennis Gross, NuFace, and African Botanics, guests can spend just $25 on a 15-20 minute sample treatment from a list that includes their Peach Bellini Hand Treatment, an Eminence mini-facial, or a polish change (to name just a few). That charge can even be applied to any retail purchases over $75, which the spa is already reducing by 15% for the occasion. Additionally, gift certificate purchases over $250 will earn patrons an extra special gift.

WEST HOLLYWOOD—Get your style game tight from head to toe this Thursday when TopShop at The Grove (189 The Grove Drive) teams up with The Glam App for an event guaranteed to upgrade your look. From 7-9pm, stylists from the on-demand beauty service app will be offering hair, makeup, and nail touch-ups to shoppers of the trendy shop. And to complete your glammed-up look, why not pick up a cute new mini dress or cool pair of sandals from the British brand so you call roll out to any late-night activities perfectly party (or date!) ready.
