For the Troops!
|
| |
 |
|
The Dandelion Patch at Reston Town Center organized an event to send cards to troops for the holidays: they supplied the stationery and postage; their customers and friends wrote kind messages; and the Red Cross will ship the cards across the world. Red Cross' Melinda Kelejian, McLean Capital's Andrea Young, Judith Voss, UBS' Anne McCabe, Dandelion Patch owner Heidi Kallett, and Donna Ritter came to help out.

Swiss Spa!

We caught up with Ada Polla of Georgetown spa Alchimie Forever. Originally started by her family in Switzerland, Ada brought it to DC in 2004, while attending Georgetown B-school. The showroom sells 17 beauty products for men and women, which can also be found at local salons such as The Grooming Lounge, and there’s a little spa room in back for treatments. Ada’s one beauty rule: “Anything you apply to your face, apply to your neck.”
