What makes Whish different aside from the delicious soda fountain scents?

The beauty products are Paraben Free, Sulfate Free, TEA & DEA Free, and Petrochemical Free, as well as made up of all-natural ingredients. Whish strives to incorporate organic ingredients when possible to create an indulgent and soothing experience. Read more about the Whish story here.

What did I think of it?

I received sample sizes of the Black Cherry and Ginger Melon Body Butters and absolutely loved both and can't stop using them. The scents are addicting and not overwhelming, almost too good not to eat. Upon applying the body butter, I immediately noticed how velvety-soft it felt on my skin, and kept me moisturized throughout the day. Usually when I think of body butter, I'm expecting a thicker consistency, but Whish's body butter have an appealing light, lotion consistency which makes it effortless to apply. It's also a huge upside and relief to know that what I'm putting on my skin is not made up of harsh chemicals and ingredients.

The House Salon, Mission Viejo

I was thrilled when Morgan from The House Salon in Mission Viejo contacted me for a blowout. I had an upcoming wedding, and her timing couldn't be more perfect. I came in on a Saturday morning and was absolutely enraptured by the space. I love the openness and the industrial meets uber chic salon space. There's a ton of room and all the furniture and product looks in it's rightful place. Morgan was very sweet from beginning to end; starting me off with a mimosa, then onto a shampoo and blowdry, and lastly curling my hair with an iron. Before we had gotten started I showed her the look I wanted and she delivered. She even took pictures for me by the salon's seating area, which may I add had runway shows up on the tv (above the fireplace) the entire time (my kind of shows). I would most definitely come back to Morgan for another blowout, she also specializes in color and cuts. See her work here, and book her here.
