Gjelina Refuses Posh (and me)

SaffronRouge.com

Organics whizz Kirstin Binder has always had a curiosity for the purer side of life. Her world travels lead to discovering a wider range of ingredients that weren’t in the run-of-the-mill everyday lines evident in her site that can only be described as an ‘Organic Sephora.’ I’m trying new products every day that are natural, orga… Read More…

Before and After Photos; Makeup in Your 20′s

Life got a little overwhelming recently, so I decided to take on an intern. This is Danielle, my right hand gal. She’s as sweet as she is beautiful and I couldn’t wait to get her in my chair so I could highlight what makeup in your 20′s should look like.

Best Body Washes

Caress Evenly Gorgeous Exfoliating Body Wash($7) has an intoxicatingly sweet scent from the burnt brown sugar and karite butter used to exfoliate and even out unbalanced skin tones.

Remember this post about our hours-long wait for pizza at Venice Beach’s hot spot Gjelina? Looks like their strict no substitutions policy applies to the rich and famous as well. Gordon Ramsay and Victoria Beckham’s recent meal there ended with his outrage for the restaurant’s flat refusal to put Posh’s salad dressing on the side. Check out the L.A Times’ piece HERE.

One thought on “Gjelina Refuses Posh (and me)”

Perhaps Gjelina’s food is prepared way beforehand and snotty attitude is their way of avoiding conversations about the supposedly fresh prepared food.
