Up Up and Away Baby Shower Theme

My Goddaughter is expected to arrive in less than a month! I am so excited being a first time auntie and God mommy. My sissy is a first time mom and this is all just a bunch of first times for all of us! Mel and I have similar visions and we weren’t very keen on having a very gender centric shower. We knew straight away that we didn’t want too much PINK, although I love the colour pink, it wasn’t something we were leaning towards. We wanted something more playful and unique. We started planning as soon as we had a shower date confirmed and below is how our vision came to life. We’d like to thank Pinterest and our family for all their help in executing this event :p !

Theme: Up Up and Away

Theme colours: Shades of coral, mints and gold
Here is the invitation, information card and thank you labels that I designed for the shower. I blocked out personal information from the invitations for privacy purposes :).

Many ladies are doing books instead of cards for their baby showers, so we included a small information card with the invitations. I think it’s a great way to build a book collection for the little one!

The thank you labels we created on sticker paper and pealed and placed them on top of the nutella jar favours.

Thank you favours: Melaney has been craving Nutella and Nina loves it just as much! We decided it would be a cute idea to tie in one of Mel’s cravings as a thank you favour for our guests. Who doesn’t love a delicious jar of Nutella? We added a cute little white and mint skirt and a gold spoon as an added “wow factor” for the favour piece. The Thank you labels were placed on the top.

Center pieces: We knew we wanted to incorporate the Up Up and Away theme significantly through the centre pieces. So we decided, with a little help from Pinterest to do a “hot air balloon” centre piece. It was rather simple to assemble. We used square vases from the dollar store and wrapped them in burlap material. We added some floral foam to help preserve the flowers and made arrangements with white, coral and orange flowers. We then took different colours of ribbon and glued them on opposite sides of the vase. In order to cut costs and to make the centre piece more firm, we spray painted balloon sticks and just blew up the balloons normally instead of using helium. We alternated between a pink coral and a peach colour balloon to add variation in colour.

Guestbook: We wanted to incorporate our theme and a unique twist on the guestbook so we decided to get guests to sign a Dr. Seuss book titled “Oh the places you’ll go”. We asked guests to not only sign their names but to leave a wish for Nina. A cute keepsake that Mel can read on her own and Nina can look back on when she is older.

This increases pleasure bought here viagra sale buy and satisfaction for both the partners.

Garlands and Banners: I made a couple of different garlands for the baby shower. A hot air balloon garland, a glitter circle ribbon garland and a tassel garland. I also made a banner that fit the theme and colour of our the baby shower. Below is a glimpse of the entrance table that had some games, the hot air balloon garland and the banner in the background.

Additional fun: When I went to my friend Erin’s daughter’s 2nd birthday, I couldn’t help but fall in love with the chalk board piece she had at the event. I think it’s a creative way to get to know the guest, display information and get creative. So, I knew I had to make one for Mel’s shower. We included due dates, how far long Mel is, cravings and more. People loved it and it added such a bright feel to the shower.

I also love taking themes to the next level and with the help of my trusted Oksana and the prima’s we put together a beautiful photo booth for the shower. We designed props and a cloud back drop that was up against some brown paper. I thought the brown paper was cute because it tied in with the burlap and browns we had throughout the shower. People loved it and really got use out of it!

Hope you all have a fabulous day and remember that all stationary products are available for purchase. E-mail us at info@amodachic.com to place your orders. Tons of themes and colours to pick from and create!

Jaja Spa Q&A

2 Replies

When you walk into Jaja, you’re greeted by two sweet smiles from the young duo Kayla and Jacqueline- founders and owners of the mesmerizing spa. When my nail lady Linda decided to move her career to Vancouver, I was devastated and in a panic to find a new salon. During my overwhelming search, I was finding myself unhappy after every nail appointment and at the brink of rerouting my career choice. Amodachic- nail lady (ha!).

When I first went to Jaja, my face lit up. I had to take in how adorable the space was. Bright, chic, feminine, clean, it was perfect. But, the spa itself was not what had me coming back. It was the cleanliness, the service and the ladies. I couldn’t help wanting to know more about the duo and how Jaja all started. Yesterday I had the utmost pleasure sitting down with the two gals, chatting about the spa, them and the future. Enjoy and happy reading!

Amodachic: At what moment did you decide to take Jaja spa from a vision to reality?
Kayla & Jacqueline: It has always been an idea, something we’ve wanted since before high school. We officially decided to move forward with the idea last summer. We had a moment in our lives where we were thinking about what are we going to do with our careers, what are we passionate about and it just made sense to open our own salon.

A: Where did the name Jaja come from?
J: My niece always called me Jaja as she could never pronounce my full name. So it stuck. Jaja is also very girly and ritzy- it just fit.

A: How is it working with a close friend of many years? How does it change from a personal friendship to a business relationship now too?
K&J: We love it. Our relationship is very natural and as friends and business partners we communicate very well. We balance each other out too which is a plus.

A: What is the most important lesson that being entrepreneur has taught you guys?
K&J: Making sure you still maintain your vision and to keep a positive mind-always. Anything can be fixed, you just have to let it not get to you. You have to learn and grow from everything.

A: What do you think sets Jaja apart from other spas and salons?
K&J: We like to keep it real. We believe in ourselves, our products and our services and it shows. We like to treat our clients as friends and make them feel comfortable and at home. We also provide private party services for events!

A: What are your favourite nail trends of 2015?
K&J: Obviously bows (haha!) In terms of colours, lots of pastels, salmon and peach colours. Pinky and/or pointing finger becoming the new accent finger and having different designs on each nail.

A: What is the most important at home nail care tip you can tell us?
K&J: Don’t pick off your shellac!
A: Guilty as charged (haha!)
K&J: That and always carry a nail filer. You never know when you get a chip and you need a quick fix. Also, having cuticle ointment at the side of your bed and using it before you sleep. It’s great for the nails and best to use at night as the oils can be greasy.

A: How do you determine which products you use and sell at the salon?
K&J: A lot of it is personal preference. We’ve used all of the products we have here at the salon and fell in love with it. We also research products to see how popular they are and what others are saying about it. But mostly, it’s personal preference. We won’t carry anything in the salon if we don’t love it.

A: It’s no surprise the decor here is beautiful, was it hard to compromise styles and how did you do come up with the salon vision?
K&J: It was very easy to combine our decor style for the salon because we had the same vision. We had a colour scheme picked out and everything. A lot of what you see here at Jaja was custom made. Our pedicure and manicure station, we even had Jacqueline’s mom paint our product display.
[side note: amodachic loves the product display hehe]

A: What is the future of Jaja spa and what do you want potential clients to know about you?
K&J: We want to expand for sure. We don’t want to leave or change Jaja because this is our baby but perhaps franchise or open up additional locations. Maybe even have a blow bar in some!

We want people out there to know that we offer a different experience. We are here to pamper you and make you feel welcomed.

And that ladies and gents concludes our Q&A with the ladies of Jaja spa. I cannot wait to take mom on Sunday for our full service Mother’s day pampering! And please, don’t forget to check out their loyalty section for monthly promotions and offers.

White vs Black Eye Liner

Leave a reply

I still remember the first time I used black eye liner. It was for the grade 6 Halloween dance and all the girls had glittered lids, cherry lips and rosy cheeks. I recall wanting to add “drama” to my cat look and picked up my classmates eye liner (obviously pre knowledge of knowing not to share eye liners). I then proceeded to copy her motion of vigorous sweeping motions across my waterline. It was instant when I fell in love with black eye liner and the look it gave me but I only came back to the idea of using it years later.

Only in my adult life did begin to use white eye liner. But not a day goes by that I do not get asked the question “what is the difference between the two and what’s the point of white eye liner”? So that brings us to today’s post on the difference between white and black eye liner and when to use them.

For the purpose of today’s post, I’m using NYX Retractable White Liner and my favourite black eye liner, L’oreal Smoldering liner. I have yet to find “the one” when it comes to white liners, this one has been so far the best but I am not yet sold on re-purchasing it again. I am a fan of the pigmentation and how well it glides onto the waterline – hence why I still use it.

So here is moi pre eye liner. Pending on the look and what I want to achieve will determine which eye liner I will use.

Black Eye Liner:
– Sultry and dramatic looks
– Smokey eye
– When I want to draw attention to my eye
– Help intensify a darker eyeshadow colour
– Narrow in and create a more defined look
The name of the medicine comes from the unification of vitalis and order generic cialis Niagara words. These also interfere with the working of Tadalafil of buy cheap levitra valsonindia.com. This buy generic viagra check out over here will give you the total amount of money that is acquired by Treasury from the wealthy. Erectile dysfunction (ED) cialis for cheap refers to the inability to develop or maintain an erection with the penis sufficient for satisfactory intercourse activity. – Black eye liner will give the illusion that your eyes are smaller than they are. Think of black clothes and how it makes you look more thin- the same thing with black eye liner. It narrows in, creates shadows therefore making the eye look smaller.

White Eye Liner:
– Open up and brighten my eyes
– White eye liner will give the illusion that your eyes are larger
– To highlight inner corner or water liner
– Used more during the day for simple looks and with neutral eye shadow tones
– For thin defined lines and detail

You can clearly see the difference between the two. The white eye liner looks more natural, my eye stands out more because it appears LARGER. The black eye liner may draw in more attention but only because it is dark and intensifies the eye. It still makes the eye more narrow and dramatic.

My pick? It all depends on the day. I love the effortless look the white eye liner can do for my eyes but I love sultry, vampy looks which is why I usually reach for the black eye liner.

So ladies, which is your favourite and why?
