Cure in the Canyons

Cure In The Canyons III, the luxury-fest for Breast Cancer research, returns on Sunday, October 4th from 11am-4pm at Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village to raise funds for innovative medical and clinical Breast Cancer research. Set between sequoia trees and cascading waterfalls Sunday afternoon at the Four Seasons will be filled with the best of lifestyle, beauty, wellness, epicurean and fashion and top exclusive high-end luxury trendsetters, all donating their time and products to fund breast cancer research.

For today’s economy the price of $60 ticket may seem steep, but not so when it includes a gift bag valued at over $500 upon departure. The first 250 guests to arrive by carpool will also receive a special gift.  Personally speaking, I loooove goodie bags!  No matter what’s inside, I look forward to unwrapping, unveiling, untying, undressing…. Yes!  Goodie bags rule, and this event looks worth the trip out to Westlake Village.

Cure in the Canyons honors breast cancer survivors and those undergoing treatment with a very special celebrity hosted Tea Party sponsored by Revolution Tea.  What better way to feel better?  How about the experience of over $1,000 worth of extraordinary free treatments, samples and gourmet delights, strolling through 28 cabanas on six breathtaking acres?  There are luxurious free products to enjoy including, spa and beauty treatments with Four Seasons Thai massage, skyn ICELAND, Calidora Skin Clinic, California Health & Longevity Institute acupuncture, OPI manicures, Napoleon Perdis and Jane Iredale fall makeovers, with a special guest appearance by Billy and Melissa Yamaguchi of Yamaguchi Spa and Salon who will conduct Feng Shui beauty seminars while his dedicated style experts take fall glamour to the next divine level.

And for that special gentleman in your life, The Club Car, a luxurious Men’s Ultra Lounge offers mini-spa treatments, SINGHA Premium Beer, extra spicy salsa and hors d’oeuvres, Harley Davidson and a luxury skin care line just for our gentlemen guests while they peruse three new 2010 Lexus Luxury Hybrids or take one out for a quick spin.
