The reception was lovely, held in the elegant house on Laurel Canyon in Studio City that houses this fun new day spa. Libations flowed freely, as did hors d'oeuvres, and the eclectic crowd mingled, looked around, and bought up all the cute LushSpa t-shirts, as well as beauty products and very reasonably priced jewelry and accessories.

What sets LushSpa apart is its focus on having an all-around good time. The atmosphere isnt new-agey or exclusive. In fact, you can bring your own music for your treatment, then relax with a glass of wine afterward. The spa is the brainchild of partners Gina Kimmel (wife of Jimmy Kimmel), Lynette Carolla (wife of Adam Carolla), and Kim Sudhalter (of Urban Legend PR). Treatments include The LushSpa Cocktail Facial, The Dirty Martini mud mask, The Rum Cooler eye treatment, and for teens, natch, The Shirley Temple facial. A massage treatment that seems destined to be popular is The Hangover Remedy, offered Sat/Sun mornings...

LushSpa is located in a big white house (no sign out front) at 4251 Laurel Canyon Blvd., Studio City, 91604. Phone: (818) 506-7848.
