Operation Sweet Dreams was started in January 2009 by Cynthia Delgadillo. While shopping for Christmas gifts for children her family had "adopted", Delgadillo realized that not all children go to sleep in pajamas. When families are struggling to get by every month, things like rent, food and diapers come before things like pajamas, which no one at school sees. Delgadillo decided she wanted to make a difference in children's lives by making it her mission to have every child go to sleep in their own pajamas.

The Beverly Hills Bridal Exchange at Dos Lagos is as unique as every dress in the place. It is the only bridal consignment store in southern California. Dresses are not necessarily the ‘used’ type, although a few have been ‘previously worn’. Many still have original tags as they were purchased in closeout inventory sales or may have been designer samples. There are also some dresses where brides purchased more than one dress and chose the "other one". Most dresses run under 60% of the original price.
