Awesome Facialist Lead
Bonnie Burgess’ vision, the owner and skin care therapist of Cella Skin Care, is to marry the effective result-oriented approach of a skin care clinic with the healing, restorative, holistic feel of a luxury day spa in perfect balance. Her goal is to have each client leave feeling restored in body, mind, and spirit. Each client has very individual goals for the treatment of their skin and it is her commitment to meet these needs & exceed their expectations. She offers many different facials including Lactic Acid Peel & Diamond Peel Microdermabrasion. I HIGHLY recommend!

Rough & Tumble Class at “Outside the Box”
At OTB, they believe that exuberant, boisterous, rough-and-tumble play supports preschoolers’ development.

Vigorous, active, rough & tumble play is a great way to support physical and social development. This very special class is for both boys and girls. Experienced walkers-3 years old. Parents stay in the class to observe and be available if needed. Space is limited to 6 children per class. Classes are held Mondays at 11am, and start January 4th in Woodland Hills.
