ChicMix Weekend Recap

It's been a busy weekend for Chicole::Intermixed. We hosted Glitz & Glam: A Holiday Tea Party and keyed makeup for the annual Miss Black & Gold Pageant sponsored by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc, Gamma Eta Chapter. So much eye candy, face candy, and just plain good food, folks and fun in one weekend, refreshed and renewed our souls. I'm so blessed to be a business owner, doing what I love to do, with the people I love, and serving as a resource for others.



Quick recap. Separate posts with pictures for each event to follow so that you can see all of the fabulosity:



GLITZ & GLAM. All the preparations paid off as we had a FABULOUS time at the Tea Cozy. The color scheme was black and silver, accented in purple and zebra print. Yes zebra! The candelabras were divine with their antiqued finish and long purple candles. The food, scrumptious and the teatinis, so good, you didn't need the alcohol. They were intoxicating enough by themselves. The program was informative and the shopping delightful.



MISS BLACK AND GOLD. The contestants were phenomenal and gorgeous to boot, which made my job so much easier. The look was classic elegance tailored to each young lady and complimented with defined brows and lashes. The ladies were simply breathtaking as they took the stage in their business suits, talent outfits, and evening gowns. As it should, their confidence and personality outshined their lip gloss ;-)



Did you attend either of these events? Leave a comment or send us an email and let Chicole::Intermixed know you how enjoyed them. We'll be sure to include a few of your comments in the forthcoming detailed posts because of course, we're a little biased.

High Tea, Low Tea, Dessert Tea...What's the Difference

As you know, Chicole Intermixed is hosting a tea. Recently someone asked what type of tea party is Glitz & Glam? It will be a High Tea with an emphasis on the PARTY. What's the difference? Thankfully Erika of e-vents has done all the work for me in preparing the answer to the common differences among taking tea. Head on over and read the differences. She will also host her annual tea in January.

Why the emphasis on Tea Party for Glitz & Glam? I'm glad you asked. As women, there is no rest for the weary. We traditionally carry the bulk of the responsibilities for family and home throughout the year. The holidays often create an additional stress as we try to make sure that every meal is impeccable, every gift memorable, and everyone entertained. Tea has numerous health benefits and has been on the top of many lists for helping its drinkers find a little relaxation and peace, if only fleeting. Glitz & Glam: A Holiday Tea Party is a time to stop and enjoy a little bit of "me time" in the company of other fabulous superwomen.

Is it time for you to schedule a little "me-time?"
