Okay so this post isn’t really food-centric, but I think a lot of readers would still be interested in this information and the giveaway opportunity.

Leu Leu Beauty Bar in Encinitas will be having its grand opening next Saturday Nov. 17, 2012 from 11a.m.-4p.m. Leu Leu is a high end, French-inspired, eco-friendly, hair and nail salon.

According to the press release:

Guests who attend the grand opening will be treated to free mini pampering services, including mini manicures and hair styling touch ups. Attendees will be given the opportunity to book future appointments at a discounted rate, as well as take home gift bags from various local vendors, such as Sea Salt Candy Co., Bloom Natural Health, Mog and Rue, and Xtend Barre. 

The grand opening is open to all to attend, no reservations necessary.

Some of the interesting services offered include ice cream pedicures, marshmallow foot masque, and fresh strawberry kiwi foot scrubs. (So kind of food-related.)

In addition, Leu Leu will be having a private VIP Grand Opening Party on Thursday, Nov. 15 from 6:00p.m.-8:30p.m. (There will be food, mini manicures, hairstyling, and more.) I have been given the chance to give invites to 5 readers of this blog to the private VIP party. This giveaway will be a quick one. Details are as follows:

Contest will run until Monday November 12, 2012 11:59 PST. I will then draw names using random.org and contact the winners via email.
