This month I hosted my first Influencer & Networking event with two amazing ladies, CariƱo Cortez from Mexi Modern Kitchen and Yvonne Guidry better known as Spoiled Latina! I was so inspired by all the amazing ladies that I’ve met lately from Bloggers to Business owners that I really wanted to put on an event that celebrated women’s empowerment! If you saw my video about Spoiled Latina Day in Houston, then you will see how much of an inspiration Yvonne has been to so many women across Texas! She was excited to co-host her first event in San Antonio and share her experience behind building her brand, blog and business!
All of our amazing partners that contributed made the event a big success! Our beautiful venue was Viva Villa Restaurant in the Historic Market Square in Downtown San Antonio. This restaurant is one of the many businesses owned by La Familia Cortez, and a must see whenever you visit San Antonio!
Our selfie station was sponsored by Wide Awake Creative and was the biggest hit! What a way for our guests to have fun and capture memories! The beautiful Paper Flower Backdrop was made byĀ Forever Petals by Vee,Ā she is so incredibly talented and even created hand crafted ornaments at the event.
Go check out all the cute selfies that everyone took at our event on the Simple Booth Website!Ā
“Life is too Short, Spoil Yourself” – Spoiled Latina
The mood for the night was really all about enjoying yourself, having fun and making new friends. I can guarantee that each person would meet a new business contact, connection or new friendship. Of course we wanted all of the ladies to feel beautiful and Benefit CosmeticsĀ made it happen withĀ Paulina and her team in San Antonio. They were all absolutely amazing and gave mini make-overs, brow touch ups, and beauty tips. They did a wonderful job, and I’m entirely grateful that one of my favorite beauty brands was a part of this event in such a special way!
We even had a special signature drink for the night called the Dama Rosa Paloma made with Tequila Partida Blanco! The ladies enjoyed the beautiful grapefruit pink drink shaken and strain over ice! Tequila Partida also gave away a bottle of their Premium bottle of Partida Tequila Anejo!
Every guest received a goodie bag filled with beauty, skincare, hair care items and discounts and deals to local businesses! Each lady also received their very own t-shirt from the official Spoiled Latina brand that she created called Jefita Bonita!
I really want to send a big THANK YOU to all of the brands and businesses that contributed to the goodie bag and giveaways!
