I’ve been holding onto this post for a while until summer came back around and we could talk about picnics and gardens without people on the east coast hating me. Well, it’s 90 degrees in Phoenix in February, so I don’t care – I’m posting this! Last spring,  The East Valley Chapter of the Celiac Disease Foundation hosted their annual Beauty & Garden party in Arizona! This is seriously the most adorable idea for a meeting and I have to give massive kudos to Brigette and Christy for putting this on. The event had a ton of sponsors and every lady was able to take home a swag bag full of full-size products and product samples.

Before I get to more charming photos of the event – a big round of applause to the sponsors! Here are some of my favs:

• Red Apple Lipstick ( Celiac and the Beast major sponsor)
• Redmond Clay
• 100% Pure
• Classic Sugar Boutique
• Paula’s GF Hair Care
• Food by Picazzo’s

I feel so lucky to have friends at the CDF Chapter of East Valley – Arizona. Thank you for having me ladies!

Do you know about RED APPLE LIPSTICK?  They sponsored a make-over station at this event and it was awesome! Ashley introduced so many people to the brand and I was so happy they could find safe lipstick, lipgloss, mascara and eyeshadow.

There were many other sponsors there including 100% Pure, that makes my caffeine eye cream that I love! I’m also excited to try more Redmond Clay products including the facial mask! And yes, I even got my eyebrows waxed. All for beauty, right? PS It actually didn’t hurt.

Look at all the goodies we got in our sample bag!

I am LOVING this facial mud from Redmond Clay. Zits? I put it on ’em and leave them overnight. You can purchase this for $9.99 online here: http://www.redmondtrading.com/product/redmond-clay-facial-mud/

I had a great time at the show and I want to give major props to Red Apple Lipstick, a major Celiac and the Beast sponsor, and one of the great sponsors of this event!
