Spring Blissed: A Closer LookThis past weekend we had the opportunity to be sponsors at Eunika's annual spring fashion show, Spring Blissed 2016. Spring Blissed is a Fashion Music Event created to provide young inspiring artists and entrepreneurs with an opportunity to showcase their talents to an audience of industry executives, family members, and friends. The hard work and dedication of each designer was present and on display with each young model who ripped the runway. Through this platform, children are allowed to express and discover their powers as they tap into their genius and overall dopeness. Opening Workshop: HoopYogini™ |
The event sprang into motion with a mini workshop by HoopYogini™ instructor, Venetria Benitez as she conducted an interactive floor presentations showing guest and participants the scared art of hatha yoga which incorporates hula hoops to elevate the mind, body, and soul. Using mindfulness meditation and conventional twists and bends participants had a blast experiencing the benefits of this core strengthening practice. |
Teen Host: Nigel Simmons Takes the MicThe MC and Teen Host for the evening was Nigel Simmons the owner of Young Gods. This was Nigel’s first time hosting such an event. We honestly must say he did a phenomenal job sharing his thoughts and interviewing guests, models, and designers. |

We made mini cupcakes decorated in vibrant colors that were not only appealing to the eye but scrumptious in taste.
We couldn’t come to an event and not have something special for the adults. We made our talked-about Hennessy Cupcakes and Henny Mousse cups. Paired with chocolate or vanilla cupcake this was a surefire hit!!
