“I AM…” celebrating Mother’s Day with Carol’s Daughter

I AM Beautiful

In anticipation of Mother’s Day, Carol’s Daughter held several wonderful events to celebrate mom. First up was the “I AM Beautiful” affair where shoppers enjoyed a wide selection of lovely gift sets for mom at discounted prices. Presented by Qream Liqueur and held at Carol’s Daughter in Lenox Square, this shopping soiree was hosted by recording artist Karmella and featured live music by DJ Princess Cut and beauty makeovers by the amazing Shalawn Willis of LAMIK Beauty. I had the pleasure of meeting music maven and industry exec Shanti Das who was also in attendance. I also chatted with Karmella who I must say looked amazing and she ROCKED that fabulously fierce fade hairstyle! Work it girl! Guest enjoyed yummy bites by Chef Thomas (Chef T Cafe) and delish Qream cocktails served by The Perfect Bartender while taking advantage of the 50% off discount for the day. And as a special treat, attendees also received samples from the Carol’s Daughter Monoi hair care repair line. I had a wonderful time mixing and mingling with the other attendees; and of course all the fabulous shopping. I personally snagged a Memorable Mist Trio gift pack which included three sweetly scented body mists that smell absolutely heavenly!

I AM Because You Are

Next up was the “I AM Because You Are” photo shoot where guest participated in a fun studio-style photo session capturing candid shots of them in a hollowed picture frame. Too cute! I took my two daughters with me to this event and we all had a blast posing for the camera! This event was sponsored by Sprite who was also on hand to introduce their new Sprite Zero drink. We nibbled on sweet treats while enjoying samples of Sprite Zero, and we each received some really nice goodies from Sprite such as a journal book, a pen set, and a makeup case. It was nice to just hang out with my girls and enjoy our mother/daughter day at Carol’s Daughter. We had so much fun!

Thanks to the lovely Saniyyah “Sunny” Griffin, store manager at Carol’s Daughter, for inviting me to both of these fabulous events. I always have such a wonderful time at Carol’s Daughter, and Sunny regularly host events like these at her store which are always a treat.
