Event Recap: Curlfriends Swap Party

Last Tuesday I hosted 25 naturalists at Curlfriends Swap Party. It was a bit different from my usual Curly Card Night but it was so much fun!

We played games, had hors d’oeuvres, swapped products and jewelry and had a lot of fun. I also encouraged the ladies to network and get to know each other.

EVENT ALERT: Curlfriends Swap Party 7.23.13

If you’re like me then you probably have tons of natural hair products you don’t use that are just sitting under your sink collecting dust. But, if you’re REALLY like me then you also probably have a ton of accessories (acquired after going natural of course – lol) that are in perfect condition but you’re bored with.

Why not Swap them?

I’m hosting Curlfriends Swap Party, a night to hangout with other fun ladies, laugh, talk about hair and get some “new” products and accessories while getting rid of your old ones.

Curlfriends Swap Party will be on Tuesday, July 23^rd from 6:30pm-9:00pm at STITCH Bar and Lounge (the home of Curly Card Night).

We also have some great raffles and swag bag goodies from these sponsors!

Recap: IMATS NY

Last month I attended the International Make-Up Artist Trade Show, better known as IMATS, here in New York and I really wanted to share my experience with you.

I was on the fence about going so I made sure to get an early bird ticket for $45.
