Toronto Event: Diva Girl Conference

Posted on May 16, 2014May 19, 2014 by Elaine

The DivaGirl Conference was held last month and Kat – a fitness enthusiast was kind enough to attend and cover the event on behalf of Toronto Beauty Reviews! Check out her experience and her purchases!

*****

The 3rd annual DivaGirl Conference  was a fun, educational and stylish event held in downtown Toronto at the exclusive Spoke Club. The DivaGirls celebrate women and enlighten their outlook on health, beauty, fitness, style and relationships.

A perfect Saturday for fun flirty dancing, enjoyable workout classes, vendors with extremely chic merchandise and well-spoken motivators.  Among the collection of goods to see there were a few vendors and speakers that really stood out to me.
Mandy Mullin from Inspired Wellbeing is an independent maker of natural cream products created from her own recipe of all natural ingredients.  These ingredients combine to offer a soft smell and non-greasy texture; I know because I lathered up!  All of Mandy’s products are affordable and plentiful in amount.  Inspired Wellbeing not only focuses on natural creams but their vision is to allow people, specifically women, to regain a connection with nature.  They offer Nature Retreats that allow for rest and relaxation, inspiration and a true experience with nature to connect with the energy of life.

For more information on the products you can email Mandy at mkmullim@hotmail.com.

 

Dr. Sara Celik co-founder of Loseit Tea focused on how women can reshape and strengthen their mind and body by just slowing down and establishing their core values.  Hormones are one of the main factors that skew judgment.  So we need to cleanse, detoxify, workout, eat well, even get to bed early to get rid of all the unwanted stress and build-up of hormones. Loseit Tea is an organic tea company that contains the finest organic ingredients and has been formulated for maximum results to obtain that perfect cleanse!  By slowing down and cleansing, women are given the opportunity to learn about themselves, become grounded, nourished and well balanced in this fast pace world we live in.

Lastly for the more chic and stylish Torontonians , Shop for Jayu offered the most stunning collection of jewelry at the conference.  Homemade in Korea these pop-up jewelers offer affordable, extremely stylish, and easy to wear pieces that are absolutely fabulous!

This admirer purchased a genuine leather bracelet with gold studded accents and a gold linked chain to finish off the whole piece for $36 flat.  I will definitely be purchasing more from their online store!

For all DivaGirl’s check out future events on their website.  It is a wonderful event to empower and honour women!  I hope to be given the opportunity to take part once again in the near future!

*****

Kat lives in the GTA and loves fitness, food and travel. A casual girl at heart she’s more comfortable sporting a cool pair of converse and hoodie but her sense of style has evolved to favouring elegance over bling. You can find her on instagram.

Celebrating our best boy’s birthday with a custom Celebrating our best boy’s birthday with a custom sensitive-tummy-approved cake from @jujulet! Cause life’s too short not to mark special occasions 🐶❤️🎂 

I can’t believe @guster_dog is already 6! 😭❤️❤️

The cake is made of pumpkin, sweet potato, spinach, and carrot. The “frosting” is potato cream mixed with natural colorings. Gluten-free and lactose-free with lots of healthy veggies means Guster can enjoy his special treat and we don’t have to worry about his health. 🥳

The cake is truly a work of art, and - as you can see - Guster definitely approves of the taste! He ate the sculpture of himself so fast that we didn’t even catch it on camera! 🙈

Would you get a cake for your pet?

If traditional strip lashes stress you out, check If traditional strip lashes stress you out, check out @prettyinthecity.beauty’s Ready to Wear Pre-Glued Lashes! No waiting for glue to dry, no mess, no fuss 😍 - just fabulous lashes that can last up to a week. 🙌🏼

Like anything, there’s a bit of a learning curve for application, but Veronica and her team have tons of videos and tips to help you feel confident in no time. ✅

If you’re looking for lashes that last more than one night but aren’t as big of a commitment as lash extensions, these are definitely worth trying out!

I was invited to try the Turkish Bath Ritual and was truly blown away. The space is beautiful and calming, the service was impeccable, and the treatment itself was divine. 🧖‍♀️💆‍♀️ 

It’s an indulgence to be sure, but one I would 10/10 recommend for special occasions. 

Have you tried this type of treatment?

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted much. I’m finding it a bit hard, tbh. 🫤

I’m figuring out what the next phase of #TorontoBeautyReviews looks like and healing from an injury, while my 9-5 has lately been more like 7-7, so I’m filling my off hours with family, dance, food, and books. Finding joy and peace where I can in an intense world. ❤️

I still try out lots of products and I do occasionally paint my face 🙃. I’m just not as interested in the grind of daily posts just for the sake of staying relevant anymore. Which has meant that I’m not on as many PR lists as I used to be. Which means that I don’t have as much new stuff to review. It’s a cycle. 

Things are shifting, which is tough sometimes. But it’s ok - so am I. 😊
