ABC Conference In Orange County

Last week we went to the Association Of Bridal Consultants conference at the Surf and Sand Hotel in Laguna Beach. Jill Watson, one of our favorite wedding planners in Orange County, was kind enough to invite us to the monthly ABC event. Now that we are expanding our custom wedding favors we thought it would be nice to meet with other vendors and wedding planners. Jill Watson was kind enough to take us under her wing and introduce our products to other wedding planners and vendors in our area. Jill is a very well established and wonderful wedding planner who actually planned our intern’s sister’s wedding this past October. The wedding was flawless thanks to Jill’s hard work (see photo above).

The ABC event was magnificent! There was live music, wonderful food and a beautiful view of the ocean. We got to meet some of the best wedding coordinators and vendors in all of Orange County.

If you are planning a wedding or any event and looking for a special dessert you must look into hiring Fry Girl. The owner Shelley Beals comes to events with her mini donut-making machine and makes delicious, warm bite size donuts on the spot. Guests can pick from a variety of toppings. We definitely ate our share!

It is so important to have a wedding coordinator when planning a wedding and we met some great ones. In case you are in need of a wedding coordinator here are a few planners to contact:

We are excited to be presenting Chivas Skin Care custom order products at the ABC conference on August 11th. We had such a wonderful time and just wanted to congratulate ABC and Surf and Sand Hotel for putting on such a wonderful event.

Recap of 2009's Ojai Lavender Festival

On Saturday, June 27, Chivas attended the Lavender Festival in Ojai, and it was so much fun! Along with our Lavender Oatmeal and Lavender Pine Chamomile soaps, we also featured our other soaps, facial crèmes, and lip balms. It was smelling pretty nice and fragrant over there!

We also had a fun give-away contest going on where people guessed how many lip balms were in the mason jar – Lili was our winner for the day and received a $50 gift certificate to our online store.

Chivas seemed to be a hit – perhaps because our interns put some of our soap into the women’s bathroom?

All-in-all, the Lavender Festival was a great day for spreading the word (and the soap) about Chivas Skin Care.
