The Marianna Group Takes Emmy Week From Skincare to Safari

The Marianna Group brought its Harvest awards week experience to the Beverly Hills Marriott during Emmy week. Beauty Kitchen founder, Heather Marianna, hosted the luxury lounge where beauty, wellness and travel shared the spotlight with a few four-legged friends who knew exactly how to work a room.

Africa Wild Safaris gave guests a reason to start checking their passports. The company creates personalized journeys throughout Africa, pairing wildlife adventures with local expertise and plenty of luxury along the way. It also brought natural body care from Cinnabar Green, a Kenyan B Corp that uses organically grown herbs and ethically-sourced botanicals, while also supporting local communities.

Bold & Zeal proved that a T-shirt can say more than what is printed across the front. The Los Angeles-made casualwear included “Live Bold” shirts designed around resilience and purpose, with 10% of proceeds supporting the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.

The beauty lineup covered guests from lips to lashes. Beaut beauty products supplied lip liners and glosses, while Get Bronz’d by Kara offered a sun-kissed glow without requiring a trip to the beach. Twisted Silver gave found and recycled materials a fashionable second life through its jewelry.

Form MD 360 combined aesthetics, performance and plastic surgery certificates. Shhhh… It’s a Secret treated guests to Collagen Eye Gel Pads, while Korean beauty brand Cotrini brought its Ultra Hydrating Night Cream.

RFA Skincare introduced its medical-grade formulas for true transformation. They gifted their anti-aging exfoliating Lux Pads, said to be an "overnight face lift in a jar." Pixi Skintreats arrived with a beauty bag of its own, featuring Roll-On DetoxifEYE Serum, Botanical Collagen Lip Gloss, GradualGlow Self-Tan Serum and an On-the-Glow Bronze tinted moisture stick.

The pampering continued beyond the gift bags. Empower Wellness Spa in Encino shared its holistic approach to skincare and body treatments, while Vanity Beauty Boutique gifted a VIP microcurrent sculpting experience at its wellness bar in Las Vegas.

Master coach Meredith Oke, executive director of the Institute of Applied Quantum Biology and host of The Reverse Aging Club, offered complimentary sessions focused on her approach to aging and well-being and she also included LifeWave X39 patches, designed to support energy and overall wellness.

Exercise folded itself into the afternoon. PAVO Fitness introduced its intelligent foldable Pilates reformer, which tracks workouts through built-in sensors and tucks away neatly under your bed when the workout is over.

Manta Sleep made the case for doing absolutely nothing. Its adjustable sleep mask blocks out 100% of light, making it equally useful for nighttime, travel or pretending the alarm never went off.

Guests also received Life Storms, a self-help guide for moving beyond emotional burnout, changing negative thought patterns and rebuilding meaningful connections. Dr. Kiran Dintyala, the functional medicine physician known as Dr. Calm, brought his own prescription for a quieter mind with his book, Calm in the Midst of Chaos.

Deluxe Crystal Vodka showcased its 10-times-distilled vodka, which goes through five rounds of filtration using materials that include quartz, amber, 24-karat gold and diamond particles. Dulce Vida kept tequila lovers happy with its 100% organic blue Weber agave tequila from Mexico.

Yummy finds included organic almond and oat milk lattes from Pop & Bottle, Full Spectrum Hemp Gummies from Gold Naturals and ready-to-drink cocktails from Buzzbox. Skinergy added a collagen-infused energy drink to the mix, because apparently caffeine and skincare no longer have to live separate lives.

Even with all that beauty and wellness, some of the afternoon’s biggest scene-stealers had four legs. Celebrity dog trainer Brandon McMillan gifted his Lure Stick training tool, while Kiss My Paws Rescue brought furry friends to help raise awareness for dogs in need.
