Can you tell I am excited??!!!
So the launch party for The BiL Directory was a huge success! I could not believe the number of people that turned up, it was a very humbling experience. I am literally holding myself back from typing some emotional ‘speech’ right now lol! But the party was everything I imagined and more. I’ve always always dreamt of throwing a beauty-party; a comfortable environment where ladies chill, sip, shop and get pampered! Just imagine a regular party, with music, drinks with some BEAUTY thrown in the mix.
Thank YOU Cointreau for sponsoring the event. The PR company, LSFPR (Bidemi & Feyi), God bless you two ladies immensely. You were so professional at all times, I don’t understand how, but you always kept it together and I admire you ladies for that. Thank you to BNatural Spa for hosting us and the amazing Mrs. Olatunji-Bello (CEO/Owner), who was extremely helpful and supportive during the event. Glambrand Agency for hosting the Emmaus giveaway, that was done by the Brand Ambassador, Michelle Dede. My lovely BiL Directory Vendors for taking part and contributing to the Gift Bags.
My family, friends, readers and all invited guests, God bless you all! *walks off stage* lol
So now, enjoy the pictures!

My TEAM!!
Thank you to every single one of you that reads this blog. I could never have pulled this off without you all. Who would know about BiL if it weren’t for my readers. The BiL Directory was the reason I started blogging in the first place, I wanted to create an online beauty directory to curate beauty businesses nationwide, but had to start by letting people know why they should even listen to me in the first place. And I chose to do that by blogging.
Laters,
Ez xxX

9 years agoCan I be honest? Neither did I!! Haha, I had this idea of being this glamorous host waltzing around saying 'Hi' to everyone. Rather I was this 'mad woman' sweating and making sure everything was working right and missing a LOT of my guests. Sigh! Thanks so much for coming and it was lovely to meet you!
Ps: Those SHOES! The balls of my feet were GHOST for two days after… lol!
