Judging Eyebrow Bars – Benefit Brow Bar

April 3, 2012 11:30 am

I was passing by Macy’s in downtown Walnut Creek when I noticed a Benefit Brow Bar right inside Macy’s on the first floor. They offer a free brow arch on your birthday which sounds like a great deal.

Nearby eyebrow salons include 2 i Bar stores within walking distance in Broadway Plaza, and as well as Lashfully, which recently opened in the older part of downtown Walnut Creek.

April 3, 2012 8:30 am

Sandy’s Unique Boutique, the women’s clothing boutique in Lafayette is closing by the end of the month. They are having a huge sale at 50 – 70% off to get rid of inventory so drop by 3569 Mt Diablo Blvd (in the back) to check them out before they close.

Apparently they used to have a store in Walnut Creek which closed years ago.

Spotted in downtown Walnut Creek on Bonanza St. note the huge office buildings in the background. I love the styling of this house, the details are amazing.

Mt. Diablo Blvd. Sidewalk Construction in Lafayette Almost Completed

The sign notes that, “Mt. Diablo Blvd Business Open during Construction”, but as you can see from the photo it looks almost finished to me. I like the cobblestone look, it makes downtown Lafayette seem more quaint.

Last week I noted how the women’s sportswear store Title 9 was relocating around the corner on Mt. Diablo Blvd. and it turns out Men’s Wearhouse, located right next door, is going to take over this space from Title 9.
