Rosedale’s Gee Beauty, where boldfaced names get their hair ‘did, had their five year anniversary fête last week. To celebrate, they popped some champagne, served up cupcakes and opened a boutique right next door. It is appropriately called 6 by Gee Beauty, and is located at 6 Roxborough St. West.

6’s unique concept and collection of products definitely inspire a city girl to treat herself and relax, no matter where she is headed, be it a jaunt to Palm Springs or her one bedroom apartment. Pick up a customized Le Labo candle and some Olio Lusso by Rodin to transform your bathtub to a five star spa – you can even visit the GEE beauty gals and have them shine a little light on that pale facade with a spray tan using St. Tropez product.

If you are saying ‘Aloha’ to winter, the collection of carefully curated items highlight the details of travel; the perfect beach bag from Sea Bags (each one made from recycled boat sails), wooden beaded necklaces to deck a sun-soaking décolleté, and (my favorite) Flight 001 Accessories & Travel Bags so that if you are jet-setting you can arrive and depart your destination feeling balanced and organized with everything in its place.

Other cute and quirky travel thingys include Lomography cameras, Urban Ears headphones, and an assortment of lovely guides and books that tease us with the world’s most premium hotels and hidden destinations.

Don’t pout if you aren’t saying Bon Voyage! Everyday in this wonderful city is an adventure but we think 6 by Gee Beauty will make it smell and look better. Heck, sometimes the journey to Rosedale is a treat in itself.
