How often do you feel like your home is clean—and we mean really clean, as in pristine, post pictures about it on social media and invite all of your friends, family, and in-laws over, clean? For most Americans, the answer is just 11 days each year. And that makes sense if you’re relying on regular old mops, vacuums, and dusters to keep your home tidy. Because who has time to use that stuff when life can get so busy—and when there’s so much else you’d rather be doing?

Enter, Dreame, the smart home appliance company offering up innovative products that do the cleaning for you, meaning it’s something longstanding neat freaks and people who want to look like neat freaks without actually working that hard can get behind.

Dreame is opening its flagship store in San Diego at Westfield UTC on April 26. The store is just the second Dreame location in Southern California. It comes less than a year after the success that followed the opening of Dreame’s first U.S. location in Los Angeles, and it comes as people across North America are lining up to bring Dreame’s innovative, intelligent cleaning products into their everyday lives. 

From robotic vacuums with smart mapping to versatile wet-dry cleaning systems, Dreame helps you clean smarter, making it easy to give yourself an Instagram-ready home 365 days a year and still end up with more time to do the things you love. 

The elevated Westfield UTC store will let San Diegans explore Dreame’s full collection of smart home cleaning solutions in person. With live, in-store product demonstrations, visitors can see and test out the products themselves before buying, so you don’t need to rely on anonymous online reviews. (…Plus, you can be sure you’ll know how to use the products once you get home.) In the store’s sleek but hands-on atmosphere, you’ll see how Dreame’s products work together to modernize cleaning for the modern home. Best of all, the brick-and-mortar location will also give San Diegans exclusive access to product pricing and details available only in-store. 

Dreame’s top products include the market-leading X50 Ultra Robot Vacuum, the ultimate smart vacuum with advanced navigation and deep-cleaning power, the H12 Pro FlexReach, a versatile cleaner that combines mopping and vacuuming in one sleek device and works on all floor types. And if you’re after cordless convenience with serious suction, look no further than the Z20 Station Cordless Stick Vacuum. It offers powerful performance, a hands-free dustbin, and a sleek docking station to keep things tidy. There’s also the Pocket Hair Dryer—because your floors aren’t the only things that need a product upgrade— which isn’t just small and easy to travel with, but it actually works. But truly, that’s just the start of Dreame’s all-star cleaning line up.

Make it a self-care spring with Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, Healcove Clinic, and Activate House

Healcove Clinic

In a fast-paced world where stress, chronic pain, and disconnection are all too common, Healcove Clinic stands as a sanctuary for those seeking a deeper, more holistic approach to wellness. More than just a chiropractic and bodywork clinic, Healcove is a space where science meets soul—where evidence-based treatments intertwine with time-honored healing traditions to support not just physical health, but also personal growth and community connection.

At Healcove Clinic, chiropractic care is not a quick “crack-and-go” experience. The clinic’s approach is comprehensive, hands-on, and tailored to the individual. Each session is a deep dive into the body’s movement patterns, tension points, and underlying imbalances.

Healcove offers several different chiropractic treatments. Practitioners explore the root cause of clients’ pain, identify their movement restrictions, and help them retrain patterns for long-term relief, stability, and mobility. They also teach patients to connect with their breath to calm the nervous system and optimize healing.

Patients can opt for bodywork and soft tissue therapy, which integrates techniques such as active release therapy (ART) and myofascial release to address tightness and dysfunction, or choose to book chiropractic adjustments—precise, effective treatments designed to restore alignment and function, always customized to the patient’s comfort and needs.

Rather than offering a one-time fix, the clinic’s goal is to create long-term change—helping patients move, feel, and function at their best. After all, Healcove knows that wellness is a lifelong journey. That’s why the clinic offers an innovative membership model that makes ongoing care more accessible. Members receive a monthly selection of services tailored to their needs, ensuring they stay consistent with their healing and self-care practices. Beyond hands-on treatments, members also gain access to exclusive classes and workshops designed to support long-term health and well-being.

That’s what truly sets Healcove apart: Its emphasis on connection and personal growth. Healing isn’t just physical—it’s mental, emotional, and communal. Clients can participate in Founder’s Meetups, community gatherings focused on breathwork, meditation, deep conversations, and meaningful connections. These meetups cultivate an environment where people can share their journeys, support one another, and build relationships that enhance their overall well-being.

At its core, Healcove Clinic is more than a wellness center—it’s a place where people come to heal, grow, and connect. It’s a space where practitioners and clients alike are dedicated to learning, evolving, and supporting one another. Whether you’re seeking relief from physical pain, looking to enhance your mobility, or yearning for a community that values both health and human connection, Healcove Clinic is there to guide you on your journey and nurture your whole self.

Cosmetic Laser Dermatology

For over 35 years, Cosmetic Laser Dermatology has served the San Diego community with more than 80 treatment options, more than 60 laser and light devices, and several proprietary procedures. Staff members at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology are eager and able to help clients find the perfect solution for any concern they have in mind, from health and wellness needs to aesthetic goals.

Cosmetic Laser Dermatology is home to eight board-certified dermatologists—three of whom were named among the top 10 on Newsweek’s list of the top cosmetic dermatologists in the country. Whether you are ready to get started on preventative measures, want to address problem areas, or are longing to laser away unwanted hair or scars, Cosmetic Laser Dermatology will help you navigate the world of aesthetics. The practice’s mission is to deliver natural, undetectable results to ensure that every patient looks as vibrant, youthful, and beautiful as they feel.

You can refresh your appearance with popular injectables like Botox, Jeuveau, Dysport, and Juvéderm, designed to smooth out wrinkles, relax muscles, and plump up key areas of the face. Or explore lesser-known alternatives to cosmetic surgery, like “liquid” rhinoplasties, which uses filler to subtly change the shape of the nose, and volume-restoring Sculptra collagen injections. The team offers a “liquid facelift,” combining dermal fillers and Botox to melt years off your face without requiring you to go under the knife.

Perhaps you want to make tweaks below the chin. At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, the body-contouring options are equally diverse, with everything from fat-dissolving injectables like Kybella to liposuction to non-surgical skin tightening. Bothered by prominent or unsightly veins? Delve into procedures that reduce or remove them.

As its name suggests, Cosmetic Laser Dermatology also offers a range of laser procedures to clear scars, treat acne, and erase unwanted tattoos and body hair with state-of-the-art machinery and highly trained staff. One popular procedure is the “Take Ten Years Off” treatment, which employs three or more lasers to minimize the appearance of wrinkles, sun damage, and general skin aging in just one low-downtime session. You can book online here.

If you are unsure where to begin, try Cosmetics Laser Dermatology’s online quiz, which enquires about your concerns, desires, and age group to recommend the procedures and treatments that will help you meet your goals and feel your best. Or simply book some face time with a staff member—Cosmetic Laser Dermatology provides both free and paid consultations to help you learn more about everything the office has to offer.

Activate House

Time to cancel that ClassPass membership. Instead, make your way to Activate House, a local space that offers a diverse array of workouts—as well as the sense of community that comes with attending a single studio regularly and recovery-minded amenities typically found at gyms.

While typically studios are defined by the workout they focus on, Activate House considers itself a holistic “house of wellness,” providing several different classes led by engaging, motivating, and experienced instructors at the studio’s two locations in Bird Rock and North Park. And though their areas of expertise differ, each instructor at Activate House is working toward the same goal: guiding and supporting you as you develop a healthy lifestyle that transforms your mind, body, and spirit.

It’s up to you what that looks like—maybe you love a high-energy, fast-paced workout, so you sign up for Activate House’s daily 45- and 60-minute spin classes to blast your muscles and get your heart pumping (with a top-notch playlist in the background, of course). Want to tone up all over? Feel the burn at a low-impact, 45-minute, heated sculpt session; a toasty mat Pilates class; or a combination of both. Need to slow down and strengthen up? Flow through a yoga class to improve your mobility and flexibility.

Outside of fitness offerings, Activate House has a designated cold plunge and sauna area so you can re-charge and feel your best. Swing by for an afternoon pick-me-up or use the space pre or post workout.

If you need a full spring reset—or simply want to get closer with your Activate House community—join one of the studio’s retreats. The May 2025 retreat to Palm Springs includes spa treatments, hot springs, yoga and Pilates classes, and meals. Meet like-minded health and wellness seekers, dabble in a variety of offered fitness courses, and relax in an inspiring and peaceful environment.

Activate House offers single class purchases, bundles, and full memberships. So, whether you want to drop in for one yoga class a week, commit to a Pilates routine, or enjoy the perks of sauna and cold plunge therapy, there is a plan for everyone.
