In addition to the premiere, here are some of the things we did in L.A. for the ultimate mother/daughter relaxation weekend:
Brunch at The Polo Lounge
There is nothing better than an extra-long brunch coupled with the best people-watching in town.
Massages
“My beauty routine is simple and easy. I cleanse and moisturize twice a day. I like to use natural products on my skin—that’s why I developed Milk & Co. I will add a drop of Rose hip oil to my moisturizer at night and I always use a 50+ sunscreen on my face. I have regular massages and spa treatments when I am in Bali, which helps me with the philosophy and design of new Milk & Co products. In Bali there is so much care taken to slow down and take the time to nurture your mind and body, which for me is so important but so hard to do! I don’t wear makeup unless I’m going to a special event or for a photo shoot and my hair is mostly tied back in a loose knot!”
We treated ourselves to some spa time at the Mr. C hotel. Instead of having some big change room area, each guest gets his or her own private room. Complete with shower, sauna, tea, and snacks.
Urth
While this place is standard for Angeleno’s, my mom had never been, so I had to inaugurate her with a trip and an epic salad.
After-Party!
“[My favorite cocktail is a] skinny, spicy margarita or champagne.”Sometimes you just need a night of wine, mini-shepherds pie and celebrities for an instant pick-me-up. Taking a stroll through Star's Hollow with my mom was nothing short of magical. It was great to experience it as a mother/daughter duo—in true Gilmore form. Of course, the bonding continued over binge watching simultaneously after we'd both gone to our respective homes, Facetiming and texting the whole way through.
