2nd Annual Beauty Closet Sale Highlights

Earlier this month, The Daily Cookie and UVSOUL.com teamed up host the 2nd Annual Beauty Closet Sale benefiting the Down Syndrome Foundation of Orange County.

In case you missed it, we raised a total of $1,800 for this organization this year and had soooo much fun doing it!  Check out the highlights!

For the 2nd year in a row, we hosted the event at The Wedding Pantry in Tustin, CA.  (If we have any brides-to-be reading this, you need to stop by this adorable boutique!)

The 2nd Annual Beauty Closet Sale!

It’s that time of year, ladies!  Last year when we hosted our very first beauty sale (check it out here!) it was such a success that we decided we just had to do it again!

The Daily Cookie invites you to the 2nd Annual Beauty Closet Sale charity fundraiser to benefit an organization that’s near and dear to me – the Down Syndrome Foundation of Orange County.

We will be selling brand new and gently sampled beauty goodies, from hair care to makeup items and more — all for $5 each! Last year we helped to raise over $1,100 which went to help create new classes for infants with Down Syndrome.

Find your favorite brands like MAC, Redken, Clinique, and Revlon and discover even more new brands to fall in love with.

Also at this year’s sale will be UVSOUL.com, an online boutique that features urban vintage fashions for the urban vintage soul.   10% of all their sales at this event will also be donated to DSFOC, yippee!

The event will be held at:

The Wedding Pantry
138 W. Main Street
Tustin, CA 92780

Saturday, October 1st, 2011
3 – 5pm

There will be light refreshments to enjoy while you shop!  We hope to see you there!

Crate & Barrel Wedding Registry Events

One of my beautiful bridesmaids and I woke up bright and early today to attend one of Crate & Barrel’s Wedding Registry events at our local store.  While you  might think that 9am is too early to venture out on a Sunday, Crate and Barrel really makes it worth your while.

At these Registry events, Crate and Barrel has experts on hand to demonstrate appliances, cookware, and assist with picking out home and other kitchen essentials.  Check out the frittata station above!  They also invite local vendors so that you can chat with photographers, florists, and bakers, allowing you to get even more out of the event.

My friend walked around for about an hour to sample tasty treats while going a little scan gun-crazy.  Here as some photos from our morning:

Infused water and non-alcoholic orange spritzers

I loved the display so much that I registered for the beverage jar and stand! :)

Yogurt and granola (more assorted breakfast pastries were set up at the next table)

Panini Station with a Cuisinart Grill/Griddle pan

She made delicious bacon, tomato, and mozzarella paninis!

Le Creuset crepe station filled with Nutella

Mini lemon cupcakes by Simply Sweet Cakery

We were so full from sampling other goodies that I just didn’t have room for this sweet treat.  My lovely bridesmaid, however, took a card from this local vendor as an idea for a bridal shower (yay!).

Krups BeerTender

It was definitely too early for beer but the idea of this machine is so cute, and much classier than an actual keg ;)  I think they set out this for the guys as wedding registries tend to be a fun girl thing to do.

All in all, I think it was a really fun event.  I think I’ll attend another one in a few months, or whenever our registry needs to get updated.  The vendors and featured products may vary with each week making it helpful to meet new vendors or  experience new kitchen demos every time!

Have you ever been to one of Crate and Barrel’s Wedding Registry Events?  Do think they’re fun and helpful?  If you’re engaged or recently married, please give us your best must-have items to include in our registry!

Drybar Salon Opens in Newport Beach, CA

The concept of a salon that only does blowouts doesn’t seem off the wall.  But can you believe that this niche type of salon has only been around for a few years?

Drybar, the original blowout-only salon, just celebrated the opening of their latest Newport Beach location at Orange County’s posh Fashion Island shopping center.  The new salon is the newest of 6 current locations (more to come soon!) in southern California and we were lucky enough to attend the fabulous grand opening shindig last week.
