Sport a 'Burt beard' this Earth Day, compliments of Burt’s Bees

April marks the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, and Burt’s Bees wants L.A. residents to channel their “inner-Burt” by donning hats and beards just like the company’s co-founder Burt Shavitz.

A Burt’s Bees street team will be stationed at Venice Beach on April 2 to hand out Burt-inspired faux beards, hats and product samples. They’ll also be making smoothies with the help of some pedaling action of a “bike blender.” All cups used for smoothies will later be brought to a compost pile for disposal.

Burt’s Bees has been using recycled packaging long before it got trendy, so the company is credible in teaching us all a thing or two about living lightly. Now as far as the Burt’s beards go…judging from the photos of Shavitz, I’m guessing they’re going to be pretty itchy. And I’ve got to wonder, are those made from recycled materials too?

Get your Burt on, and start celebrating Earth Day a little early, April 2 on the Venice Beach boardwalk.

Juicy Couture celebrates 'Viva Rodeo Drive!'

Leave it to Juicy Couture to find the bright spot or make that bright pink spot of this economy.   

This Saturday at the Juicy Couture store on Rodeo Drive, the originator of the tricked-out tracksuit celebrates “Viva Rodeo Drive!”  From 1 to 5 p.m. shoppers are invited to meet fragrance experts, receive Juicy perfume samples, and get hand massages with Juicy fragrance scented lotion from masseuses standing by.

Wait! There’s more! Anyone who buys a 1.7-ounce bottle of Viva La Juicy Couture perfume that day will receive a complimentary lipstick. Also on "Viva Rodeo Drive" day, customers have the chance to win a $250 gift certificate and a Juicy Couture tracksuit.

But even if you walk out without that plush tracksuit, you’ll still smell very “Juicy.”

1 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 7, at Juicy Couture boutique, 456 N. Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. (310) 550 0736
