Beachside Bliss

A visit to SUMMERLAND SALON & SPA for the perfect sun-kissed balayage is a treat rather than a chore. With a focus on overall wellness, the serene space (with sweeping ocean views) offers full-service treatments ranging from body detoxes to blowouts as well as an array of curated organic beauty products and tools. Recently, co-owners Kara Richard and Jonathan Dawson have pivoted from hosting community-building concerts and yoga events to offering online self-care nights and educational experiences, at-home color kits, and a selection of holistic holiday gifts. 2410 Lillie Ave., Summerland, 805-969-2322. summerlandsalonandspa.com. -Charlotte Bryant

Local Namaste

Santa Barbara Beach Yoga is giving “sun salutations” new meaning with its roster of inspired alfresco classes, ranging from mellow, beginner-friendly restorative yoga to advanced, fast-paced power yoga and aerobics-inspired silent disco “dance party” sessions. Participants are equipped with comfortable wireless headphones (disposable protective coverings are available upon request) to fully immerse themselves in music, live voice instruction, and guided meditation. Bring a packed lunch for a post-workout picnic on the sand, or better yet, a bathing suit for a quick dip after savasana.

Special Delivery

Wouldn’t it be great if you had a chef to prepare food tailored to your nutritional goals? “People trying to put on muscle should eat differently than people trying to lose weight,” says Kevin Lunn, who hatched the idea for QUOKKA, a meal-delivery service in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, with his friend Hunter Rusack. Just fill out a questionnaire or meet with a nutritionist, and your meals are delivered to your door or available for pickup at various locations. To ensure that the food tastes good, the avid athletes enlisted Barbareño’s chef Julian Martinez—who also owns CrossFit Santa Barbara—as a partner. From $100/week. quokkakitchen.com. -Erik Torkells
