The Shave of Beverly Hills
Special for Father’s Day!! Dads N’ Lads of any age! For $125, enjoy two Beverly Hills Shaves (value $150), or 2 haircuts (value $160) – one for dad and one for the lad or grad! If the lad is too young, they will create some memorable photos with a fake shave! How fun! Also mention THE YENTA REPORT and save 10% on Father’s Day gift items. Whoo Hoo!!!Beer Basket from Fancifull
A large galvanized tub holds six beers (imports and micro-brews), potato chips, white cheddar popcorn, honey mustard pretzels, and various beer snacks – ice ’em up and party down!
$100.00PRADA Cologne
I’m loving the new PRADA cologne for men. It’s soft and subtle, with a hint of citrus – great for the summer!! They also have After Shave Lotion, After Shave Balm, Shower Gel and Soap in the same scent.
$54 for 1.7 oz, $74 for 3.4 oz, and $100 for the 6.7 oz Eau de Toilette Spray

“Dear Yenta, I’m going on a picnic this weekend – any suggestions for some great picnic food?
You bet – one item comes to mind right away…I recently read about it on Tasting Table.
Nduja (pronounced en-doo-ya), a spicy, spreadable salami from Boccalone’s.
“The soft salami takes its name from the French andouille sausage, and Italian nduja is similar in that it’s made from finely ground pork and a blend of dried chile peppers. Boccalone’s version is fiery with a hint of bitter orange and smoke, and has a smooth texture like a firm liverwurst or pâté–no slicing necessary.”
You can buy it at The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills. Add some crackers, of course, pick up some cheese and a bottle of wine – you’ll be ready to go!!

Men’s Ties
Every man should want to look sharp – and believe me, when they do – woman (and men) will notice!! A fantastic tie will always make you stand out, and can show off your personality. And please, no novelty ties – those are for men who are trying to appear more significant, sexy or outgoing than they actually are – and that’s saying it nicely!
