That was fun. Yesterday, we took over a gorgeous Palm Springs home to host the inaugural Racked Wellness Oasis—a place for stylish desert dwellers to unwind after a wild weekend of concerts and ragers.

To remedy everyone's post-Coachella blues, we hooked our guests up with cold-pressed juice by Clover, healthy cocktails by Belvedere Vodka and Gran Cosecha Tequila, a detox stretch hosted by How You Glow and led by Mariah Perkins, organic makeup touch-ups by Gwyneth Paltrow's Juice Beauty, braids and hairstyling by GLAMSQUAD using Kardashian go-to Jen Atkin's OUAI Haircare line, complimentary sunnies by Pared Eyewear, a delicious lunch spread by Crateful, and an epic gift bag filled with wellness essentials.
