We’ve all been there before—in front of our computers, staring at our cell phones, zoning out on the 405. Perhaps we’ve even taken a trip or two down memory lane and what has it gotten us?

Kim Abeles’ first piece that could be labeled “environmental” was her 1983 series of photographs attempting to capture a clear view of the San Gabriel Mountains from where she lived in Downtown L.A., one not obstructed by hovering smog . She had her first studio on Broadway in 1979, and was one of the original residents of the Santa Fe art colony. She has lived Downtown ever since constructing pieces that engage the environment, making tangible the abstract. That’s when she wasn’t fighting a formaldehyde-spewing factory. It’s not surprising for someone who once lived in a grain silo in Ohio penning a book titled Crafts, Cookery, and Country Living and grew up in Pittsburgh haunted by photos of a steel industry town veiled by a cloud of air pollution.

It’s Friday afternoon and your energy is drained. You’ve got two options:
Option 1: Go home and be a party pooper.
Option 2: Treat yourself to two mini spa treatments.
We highly suggestion option 2, especially since it happens at L.A.’s Skin Haven. Skin Haven is an intimate boutique spa committed to making each of its clients experience TRUE relaxation. Haveners understand the stress, commutes and pollution effects of living in our city. Therefore, they’ve made a commitment to use only the best ingredients and treatments (we’re talking organic, paraben-free products and having treatments last 75 min. unless otherwise noted).
The mastermind behind EKLA Home, Emily Kroll, knows a thing or two about the furniture business and green design. She’s got decades of experience in both, starting with the fact that her family in England had a recycling business and ending with the launch of her new eco-friendly furniture collection in 2008. In between, she had touchstone moments like finding out how much wood was disappearing from the rainforests, hearing Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth presentation (before it was an Oscar-winning documentary), and reading a ydt recommended book
