Star Track
The stars of stage and screen don't just shop in Beverly Hills.
The latest paparazzi magnet is the Escentials store on Agoura Road in Calabasas.
Malibu resident Britney Spears has been a regular visitor at the store, a spokesperson said. The pop star has shopped there three times, once with her baby and bodyguard.
One of Spears' visits was featured in a recent edition of US magazine.
Her purchases included candles, makeup, jewelry and a novelty plaque that states "anyone who says money doesn't buy happiness, does not know where to shop."
The pop star spends about $500 per visit, the spokesperson said, and the paparazzi is never far behind.
Hands on
Vicki Albin of Agoura Hills and owner of Baby'ssag has completed advanced training with the Baby's First Massage Program.
Albin's expertise is offered to parents and health care professionals in a variety of settings from clinical to home-based. She can provide "hands-on" training for instructors who want the flexibility of learning at home through the independent study, or instructors who desire a refresher course.
Albin, the company's first certified West Coast instructor, currently teaches infant massage in group and private sessions, at hospitals, libraries, massage schools, homes and various venues. She leads certification workshops to introduce the concepts and value of nurturing touch.
