HERE'S THE SCOOP...
*We are off next week for a quick break, but always still searching for SCOOP, so let us know if you have something you are curious about in town.
A SNEAK PEAK INSIDE GLITTER
The new Glitter is GOLD! Melissa Kennedy (she formerly owned Polka Dots) will open her new spa for girls when this is over and it's sure to be a hit. They will offer manicure and pedicure packages where the girls will literally sit on a golden-rimmed throne to be pampered (say what?!). They also have a beauty bar to make customized bath products, a stuff your own animal machine, a PARTY ROOM, and retail space. What's not to like? Just look at the pictures for some serious visual fun (a light up unicorn, PINK PINK PINK, and lots of animal prints!) Their website will be up and running soon and we will let you know about an exact open date when things get back to normal!
