LUSH Spa
We’ve also created a traditional English spa, complete with jars of fresh wild flowers, mismatched vintage teacups and old-fashioned books lining the shelves. Like all LUSH products, our spa treatments are fresh and handmade. Choose from seven unique treatments and surrender yourself to an experience that lifts you up, takes you on a beautiful journey, and then sets you back on earth feeling serene and radiant.
Spotted at Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar in downtown Walnut Creek. At least it’s not a blue screen of death.
Thanks to a reader for sending:
Within the last two weeks we’ve noticed that three telephone poles have been erected on both sides of Highway I-680 with some form of netting suspended from both sides. This is just before the turnoff for Rudgear Road.
There have been other emails asking what’s going on as well, anyone know?

Thanks to a reader for tweeting us that the frozen yogurt shop Coco Swirl is closing today in downtown Walnut Creek. So if you’re looking for an ice cream doughnut sandwich you’re going to have to head out to their Pleasant Hill location. Last year we noted that this location was available for lease.

The cookware store Sur La Table is getting an interior remodel in Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek and by moving their stockroom upstairs will be offering cooking classes beginning in September. Look for the remodeled section inside to open the first week of August. It’s been a few years since downtown Walnut Creek offered a place for dedicated cooking classes. Viking Home Chef used to offer cooking classes on the second floor but that closed several years ago (now occupied by Destination Maternity).
