Hurraw! Custom Exclusive Choco Mint ($4.29)

Little Barn Apothecary Charcoal + Aloe Cleanser ($22)

Little Barn Apothecary was founded on the basis of creating safe, modern apothecary goods crafted from organic and wild harvested ingredients that are simple, natural, and effective. Their Charcoal + Aloe Face Cleanser is just that – activated bamboo charcoal gently draws out skin pollutants, helping to heal and prevent breakouts, while fresh and restorative aloe hydrates and protects your skin.

A small amount of the ultra-concentrated cleanser is all you need for a glowing, clear complexion.

Durrah Jewellery Custom Anniversary Heart Necklace ($40)

Another Anniversary Exclusive, LOVE GOODLY is launching its Exclusive Anniversary Necklace in partnership with Durrah Jewellery. Designer Durrah Khalil designs bespoke pieces using precious and semi-precious materials with the idea of being essentially classic, with a touch of modern edginess. The rose gold LOVE GOODLY heart pendant and chain is designed in Los Angeles and made out of recycled base metals.

You pick: Orglamix Essential Oil Roller-Ball Aromatherapy in “Chill Pill” or “Hot Mama” ($18 each)

“Chill Pill”

When the world closes in on you and your head feels a size too small, apply a few dabs on the back of your neck, temples and earlobes. You’ll feel a tingling sensation as pressure, tension, and tightness begin to feel as if they’re melting away. Inhale deeply after each application to help reduce stress, and reapply as needed throughout the day! Blended from 100% pure and natural ingredients, like steam-distilled sweet basil, rosemary, peppermint, eucalyptus, and lemon essential oils, this wonder-oil is sure to reduce the discomforts associated with tension and stress, not-to-mention the incredible fresh smell!

YUNI Shower Sheets ($3)

Great for post yoga workouts or other fitness regiments, the YUNI Shower Sheets immediately cleanses and deodorizes for freshness on the go. Between showers, whisk away dirt, sweat and odor with one luxuriously large moist wipe. The wipes are non-toxic, plant based, biodegradable, and compostable exuding 100% natural aromas. Key Ingredients include Neem Leaf Extract which calms the skin and soothes inflammation, while the Peppermint Leaf Essential Oil acts as a mild antiseptic, reducing bacterial activity on the skin.

Parsley Health: The Future of Primary Care

Parsley Health is revolutionizing primary care – based on the idea that health care should marry the science of nutrition with cutting edge medical testing, focus on meditation as much as medication, and offer an experience that feels beautiful, friendly and fun.

Launching in LA in September 2016, Parsley Health is the first functional medicine practice that is all inclusive of health coaches and medical care for an accessible price, while giving more value than even the most expensive concierge practices.

This high tech holistic health center makes communication seamless, lets you see your doctor via video if you can’t get out of the office, and shows you all of your notes and results online 24/7 because they believe that you own your health data.

Parsley Health partners with the best of the best food and fitness services like Sakara Life and Thrive Market to give members discounts on the tools that will make it easier to live in a way that generates health instead of disease.

And they are taking it one step further: building their own proprietary data architecture to track outcomes in primary care. That is revolutionary and means they can continuously learn as well as incentivize our doctors and health coaches based on real results.

From now through Sept. 6th only, Groomed LA readers can take advantage of the Founding Member opportunity to join Parsley Health in LA. If you do, you will not only get access to what is usually $15,000 up front in concierge medical fees for $1,000, but you will be joining a community of people who care as much about their personal health, fitness and vitality as they do about the clothes they wear, the places they travel, and the places they eat. That’s 40% off the standard membership and a rate you keep for life. Bonus: If you put Groomed LA down when you register, you’ll get $50 in the Parsley Health store!
