Your Two Cents’ Worth

Naturella Beauty

Since the closing of Pharmaca and Denise Carolyn I’ve been wondering where to find nice gifts for birthdays, etc. The answer is Naturella Beauty on Sunset. It is a wonderful beauty supply store but also has jewelry, purses, hats, fragrance and many other reasonably priced goodies for men and women, even kids—and they do gift wrap. Check them out—it’s a treat just browsing but you will find many gift options.

Pharmaca

As I was waiting in a long line to fill my prescription at CVS, I thought it lovely that Saint Laurent is opening in the Palisades, but I would rather have Pharmaca back.

ROCA Pizza

The Palisadian-Post asked community members, “What do you want to see take the place of ROCA Pizza at Palisades Village?” Here are some of the responses: “Sweetgreen or another salad and sandwich cafe,” “Barry’s Bootcamp,” “Bay Cities Deli,” “a cheap smoothie place,” and “Ramen.”

Quiet and Quaint

YSL and other expensive shops bring armed guards to the Village. I miss our quiet, quaint Pali.

Halloween

We are so excited to see the Marquez Halloween Festival is back! Looking forward to it!

PPWC

It was so cool to read about the success of the Pacific Palisades Woman’s Club’s recent fundraising art show/auction night. Thousands of dollars were raised, which will go right back into the community via grants. That is awesome to see!

Events

Reading through the calendar, one thing that stands out to me is that 2023/2024 is shaping up to be a time when all of the events that were canceled/put on hiatus are really back. It’s so nice to see things return that our community was missing for a few years.
