PLATINUM PICKS

Soothe
Your Soul

Fill your home with our favorite Zen-inspired finds.

This summer, Gina Hart and
Alise Marks, both of Bloomfield
Hills, opened the doors of
Solen in downtown
Franklin to "promote
both serenity and
energy" for the home,
body and soul. Hart,
a former partner of Capelli Spa
in Bloomfield Hills, merged with
Marks, whose jewelry designs
were sold at the spa. The pieces
are now offered at their boutique,
along with "spa-grade" bath and body products,
comfy yoga and relax wear and fresh-brewed
gourmet tea to sip while browsing. (248) 851 - 3805
