skoop man and woman Opportunist Studio Redia Soltis is the woman behind Opportunist Studio. This multi-talented artist just moved her Beatty Street Studio to a renovated Heritage House in Strathcona. The house is a talent mecca, housing several different artists, jewellery designers and more. Opportunist Studio was originally the master bedroom, and the bathroom across the hall is stocked fresh with skoah products. A much sought after fashion stylist, make up artist and best known for her hair styling talents, she'll make you feel like one of the hippest kids in town. Redia (pron. Red-ja) will take one look at you, then send you out the door with not just a hair 'cut', but a hair 'style'. Serving steaming hot espresso, accompanied by a rotation of sweet treats, Redia doesn't miss any details.

skoop family SUSHI! Start your toddler 's favourite Westcoast obsession before he can say tekka maki. Amy Wilson Sanger's First Book of Sushi is stuffed with multi-medium collages of sushi rolls intermixed with images of traditional Japanese fabrics. My baby loves the melodic rhyming sounds of the many types of sushi and you'll love it when Junior opts for sushi at 3 years old versus the standard 'family friendly' dining experience.
