Awards season was kicked off in spectacular fashion, once again, with the 2nd Annual ‘Endless Summer’ Primetime Emmy Suite.
The star-studded event, held at the Japanese-influenced Gonpachi of Beverly Hills restaurant, attracted a number of celebrities who ate, mingled and then took home bag loads of bling.
The event was held to honor the television industry’s Emmy-nominated actors, former Emmy winners, presenters, stylists and industry VIPS.

“This is an impressive event,” said Sam. “I’m excited to be here and to be able to showcase these fabulous dresses.”
Although it was clearly a “hot” event, Deb Bolner Prost was there cooling down attendees with Cool Off - The Quick Chill Icy Cold Towelettes, an innovative personal herbal cooling towel, only available through the company’s website. 

COOL OFF

Prost said the product was infused with a clean-scented formula of natural ingredients that includes cooling herbs, moisturizing botanicals and therapeutic essential oils.
“This has been on the market for about a year,” said Prost, CEO of the company. “I’m getting incredible feedback from everyone who tries the towelettes. When you first put the towel on your skin the ingredients give you an initial feeling of coolness. However, because of the ingredients you will remain cool for up to an hour.  It has so many uses.”
One of the more popular giveaways was the fashionably hip B Bag™ by LisaBerck™, which came in a variety of colors and designs. Each B Bag™ comes with a card wallet, a red signature heart crystal and a 48' chain strap.
