I am looking forward to getting together with my girlfriends having a glass of wine and the special prices that will be offered at the party.
Xeomin (the new Botox) is only $7 a unit normally $12
Botox $8 unit normally $12 unit
Belotero (the newest filler) $375 a syringe (a $125 savings)

The City of Carlsbad will host free concerts throughout the summer at different parks in Carlsbad. We love to bring some snacks, a bottle of wine and just sit back and relax. Bring low-back chairs, a blanket, snacks, and drinks if so desired. Glass is allowed at these events ONLY, wine and beer bottles are okay to bring, they do ask that you recycle.
The second concert at each park has fun things for kids to do as well, it is called Art at Jazz. Art At Jazz offers hands-on visual arts activities for younger TGIF Jazz audience members. Instructors and volunteers guide the children as they make works of art in planned activities.

Thinking of trying out one of North County’s bar classes but not sure which studio to try? I’m making the rounds to all of the studios as of now I’ve been to BodyRok, Xtend Bar by the Sea, and Fit in 60. Next week I will be at The Bar Method, after I will be going to Studio Barre, and the Daily Method. I don’t want to say I like one studio over another until I’ve tried them all, but there will be a winner!
Below is a list of all of the studio’s and their new client specials and if the first class is free. Try one out and let me know what you think!
