On Saturday, Hemma's college associate Loren, and I attended the 2nd annual Girlfriend Beauty Bag in NYC hosted by Bettina Lee.
This was a wonderful and informative beauty event where expert panelists answered hair, skin and make-up questions for women of all shades! That type of info can be hard to come by and I was so excited to hear about all the great tips that would be just right for me! Guests had everything from makeovers, mini manicures, cocktails, product sampling, massages and acupuncture...What more could a girl ask for.
On top of all of these great treats, I had the pleasure of meeting Antonique Smith, Actress who played Faith in the critically acclaimed film NOTORIUS. She was so sweet and a great woman!
This event was also sponsored by Girlfriends Get-Together created by Bettina. GGT is an inclusive social networking organization for women. It provides structured and supportive opportunities for upwardly mobile, business savvy girlfriends from various ethnicities and professions to empower themselves and learn methods to achieve their life’s goals.
When I found out about this, I immediately wanted to be a part of it because I saw the real need for it. There exists so many men's clubs and groups but not enough circles for women to empower themselves and each other. This is a great org because the women that attend these events are genuinely caring and ambitious so its a great place to find business partners as well as friends!
Bettina, like so many of us modern women, has a ton of great things going on simultaneously like the company she founded, Tinalee Media & Events, Inc. This is a hands-on social media and lifestyle event marketing firm. Focusing on the areas of beauty/wellness, empowerment, entertainment and women’s issues, they understand that successful public relations and events demand a wide-range of responsibilities and talents, boundless energy, quick thinking and even the occasional hand-holding.
Also, check out Guts.Glam.Grace, a great site Bettina set up with great uptodate tips on fashion, health, finance and life in general for the busy, beautiful, 21st century woman.
Now I'm off to put on one of the FAB deep conditioners that I got in my goodie bag! Thanks Bettina!
