Press Event

Last night we had a press event at the spa to have local media check out our fabulous place! It was a smashing success & the whole set up looked amazing! I love using this oversized martini glass as a cooler! We also served Antioxidant Martinis which were a blend of white tea, blueberries, Acai berries & vodka- yum!

This is about as domestic as I get! I attempted to make my very own cake bon bons & they actually turned out pretty well. If you're a long term reader you know I'm obsessed with them! I daydream about them, they're so good. The vendor that introduced me to them closed, so in a panic I turned to a fellow blogger for the recipe & made them myself! I had some melting candy & decorations left over, so I made coordinating pretzel rods in the spa's signature color of baby blue!

Delicious mini chocolate cupcakes with creamcheese frosting rounded out the dessert section. The store was looking its best & we were thrilled to see such positive response for our little gem of a spa & gift boutique!
Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M

    The spa looked like a little jewel box and Madeleine, Chris, Lindsay and Penny were FANTASTIC. The media loved everything -- and VERB! is thrilled to be a part of all that glitters with La Papillon! Wonderful job.
