Remember when I told you that I would be visiting Turks and Caicos for the Beaches BFF event? Well, hello from Providenciales!! The BFF event was such an amazing and uplifting experience, I hope to do as much of it justice as I can. The idea behind it is for friends to have the option for a short getaway to just enjoy beautiful food, friendship, and scenery. There were a few daily activities you could participate in and tons of things given away, including a $200 spa credit to each attendee! This would be a great opportunity for you and your non-nail friends to have some bonding time in a tropical utopia.
There were several event sponsors in attendance that were kind enough to grant me an audience for an interview so that even though the event itself was not geared toward nails, I could bring you back something that would be useful in the salon. I have a blog planned for you on quick, easy hairstyles to help you achieve some fresh looks for work to step outside the ponytail rut, one on wines to compliment your services and jazz them up, and some stretches to work out the common kinds we get from our usual seated scrunch, lol. Below is a photo of the goody bag and a few activities the BFFs got to enjoy. If it looks like a good idea, there are two trips to pick from next year!
I have some giveaway winner to announce from the Akzentz drawing on the blog asking for tips and tricks on Rockstar Toes. The first and only person to post until I shared it on Facebook was Cyrena, so CONGRATS, you are the winner of one of the bags of Akzentz goodies! Then in the drawing from the additional posters, the next winner is Debbie Gonzalez, CONGRATS!! The next giveaway is from the stamping blog where you could win Famous Names base and top coat duo...and the winner is Misty Murray Hyde, CONGRATS!! If you would all be so kind as to e-mail me your mailing address, it would be much appreciated, and I will get these in the mail as soon as I'm home long enough ;)
