Luxurious Skincare Products, Philanthropy and Eric Dane!!

Working for Style gets you some nice perks…such as attending events to help others all while getting to brush elbows with celebrities! Recently, I took advantage of one such charity event invite and made an easy trip to San Francisco for the opening of a new Kiehl’s store.

Also in town and the guest of honor, San Francisco native and Grey’s Anatomy star Eric Dane and wife, actress Rebecca Gayheart, headlined the grand opening of the brand new, larger Kiehl’s at Fillmore Street on June 18. The event began with a motorcycle “stroll” through the City, which ended appropriately at the Kiehl’s storefront.

The event also marked Kiehl’s 160th anniversary. “McSteamy” took photographs and signed photos for many fans while Kiehl’s honored Dane by donating $10,000 to the San Francisco nonprofit, Homeless Prenatal Program.

The mission of the Homeless Prenatal Program is to end the vicious cycle of child poverty. In 1989 the program began by supporting pregnant and homeless women in an effort to get many of them sober so that they could deliver healthy babies. But HPP does even more, they help women to believe in themselves again, and help children make positive changes in their own lives so that they are more likely to do well in school, become productive members of the community, and end the generational cycle of poverty and homelessness which they were born into. Many HPP clients say they are grateful for the strength they gained to not give up because of the Program.

Style Checks out the New Yard House in Roseville!

On Friday, June 24, Style Media Group was invited to a special sneak-peek preview party at the Fountain’s newest restaurant addition, Yard House. With a menu featuring American fusion cuisine, the “world’s largest selection of draft beer,” flat-screen TVs decorating the walls and classic rock tunes blasting, it’s no wonder Yard House is dubbed the perfect place to “Eat – Drink – Chill.” The large space boasts indoor and outdoor dining areas with modern décor, a state-of-the-art sound system, and an oval bar in the center with over 120 beers on tap. On my recent visit, the energy was upbeat, service friendly, and food and drinks spot on.

We started with a round of beers and each sampled something different, including a Downtown Brown, Firestone Double Barrel and House Honey Blonde. All beers – from ales, lagers, ciders, beer blends and more – can be ordered in a goblet, pint, half yard or six pack sampler…something for every palate and level of thirst!

In between sips, we were served an array of bite-sized samplings from the menu. Favorites included the Seared Ahi Sashimi (lightly blackened and served with soy vinaigrette, wasabi and picked ginger), Spinach Cheese Dip (baked with feta, jack, Parmesan and cream cheese; served with crispy flatbread), and Grilled Korean BBQ Beef (boneless short ribs marinated in garlic, soy and brown sugar; served over jasmine rice).



Next up, I switched gears and tried the Southern Belle, one of the signature cocktails. Jeremiah sweet tea vodka was mixed with lemonade, fresh pineapple and sweet strawberries. The concoction was strong yet tasty, and incredibly refreshing on a hot summer’s evening! My guest gave the Silver Caddy a try and was equally impressed by Yard House’s take on a margarita.
Throughout the exclusive event, food continued to be delivered by the attentive wait staff, and we weren’t shy in putting our sampling skills to work. The classic cheeseburger melted in our mouths, and the Southern Fried Chicken Breast (served over spinach-corn mashed potatoes and bourbon gravy) also received rave reviews.

Although stuffed to the brim, we couldn’t resist trying the Mini Crème Brulee with carmelized bananas. An added surprise of chocolate ganache at the bottom was seriously delicious.



The Yard House is the ideal spot for after-work drinks, a lunch break while shopping at the Fountains, a birthday celebration or date night. You’ll be groovin’ to the music, oohing and aahing over the food and quenching your thirst in no time!
