PRIV: Get pampered at-home. Your one stop for beauty and wellness

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

We all love being pampered, having our hair, make-up, and nails done, enjoying a relaxing massage, and staying in-shape with personalized fitness and yoga sessions. However, we usually have to go to the spa, salon, or gym, for such a luxurious and premium experience. But what if you could have it all in the comfort of your own home?

That's where the on-demand beauty and wellness PRIV app comes in. It's one of my favorite new at-home service where you can get the coveted spa experience in the comfort of your own home or wherever you want to get a blowout, manicure, pedicure, massage, workout, yoga session, men's grooming, eyelash extensions, make-up, haircut, or a spray tan. It's your one stop for your beauty and wellness needs.

Fashion Bloggers Night Out for Toys for Tots

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

On December 4th, 2014, Swank Stylista and Vic Styles partnered with the Emblem Showroom, MediaPlayground PR, and Toys for Tots to create a night of fashion, style, mingling, pampering, yummy drinks, and delicious eats. The soiree was for a good cause as all attendees was asked to bring an unwrapped toy for Toys for Tots, a non-profit organization that gives toys and gifts to children in need during the holiday season.

The night was filled fashion and beauty stations along with burgers and vegan sides provided by Stuff Em, lightly flavored water by Hint, my favorite flavor was Honeydew, and House beer. The brands that participated included Alberto Pants, Azul by Moussy USA, Bou Jeloud, Bravery For All, ExoFab, Focused Space, Priv, Inder Dhillon, J Leer, Kennington Ltd, Matiasen, Matiere, Original Paperbacks, Pocket Square Clothing, Pret-a-Porter Designs, My Single Dress, SWF Boutique, and Thread Haus.

My breakout brands and experiences of the evening were:

Inder Dhillon: The Pretty Tomboy is my favorite collection by the fashion brand, especially the punk sequins look.

SWF Boutique: The collection was inspired by the movie, “Single White Female,” and has pretty prints and solids.

Priv: It's the 'Uber of mobile beauty.' You can pick which make-up, stylist, or beautician you want to come to you and/or your party for a night of pampering, primping, and fun!
