tradition is oh so sweet. but beauty innovation is even sweeter. get a quickie booster facial, grab your prod on the go and perfect yourself (you might need it after the turkey downer).
 beauty break.
how clever of elizabeth arden to rid those vending machines of cookies, cheez-its and pretzels. the beauty brand has replaced junk food with the open
for beauty retail concept. this one-stop shopping takes on a whole new meaning at these just-add-money machines. get your fave prods and bestsellers with the push of "C4." no transfats and just as satisfying as a snickers. available
at westfield center. 865 market street. at powell. 415.512.6776.
 cos, it's good.
no cocktails in tow at carmel's the cos bar, but enough prods to have you tipsy in no time. skip the mega-mall and the department store. instead make a weekend at this beauty bar and select from top-notch faves like YSL, jaipur, la mer to name a few. so much good stuff in one place. we'll have another round. ocean
avenue. at mission street. 831.626.6249. www.cosbar.com
 shea shea, hush hush. you won't even want to unwrap the packing on claus porto
voga shea butter bath soap ($14). it's a mouthful to say and so pretty to see, but you'll be glad you did. the super creamy bar is laden with coconut oil and shea butter, but avoids that suntan stink and opts for more sophistication with fragrances from the south of france. très desirable.

 iPretty.
you see the word "pod" and you want to credit apple, right? not anymore. the
elemis spapod has the iPhone beat, well in beauty terms. this
funky futuristic cocoon delivers (not text messages), but elemis power booster
facial therapies (all in 30 min). no need to undress or remove your make-up for
this treatment. no muss, no fuss. for locations go to www.elemis.com
 glow on.
proclaim your radiance. the noodle and boo glowology perfecting
crème ($62) is the prod to keep you feeling like your old self. or young self, for that matter. this 3.5-ounce tube squeezes out nothing but goodness. collagen synthesizers and fibronectin (we don't know what it is but sounds good) helps to reduce stretch marks. also great for the pregger ones.

 scent from below.
a gal grows tired of smelling pumpkin spice. so overdone. the slatkin & co
scentport diffuser ($12) has your best interest in mind. and passion fruit and guava is about as far from pumpkin as you're gonna get. it plugs in but you'll not want to hide it because the design is just so dashing. available
at neiman marcus. 150 stockton street. near geary. 415.362.3900.
