Vendor Spotlight 3

Today’s Vendor Spotlight is another one of my favorites, BeautiControl! Rep. Niki Berry will be present and offering all kinds of great specials! Everything will be marked down from 25 to 75 % off! She’ll have all kinds of package deals, as well! These are perfect gift ideas and already come in cute packaging for you! How easy is that!?

For those of you who aren’t familiar with BeautiControl, they offer a wide variety of Spa and Makeup products! I think I have yet to come across a BC product that I DON’T like! Their spa products are simply to die for! I love nice, long relaxing baths, and let me tell you, my BC products are definitely a treat after a long day!

Last year I was also converted to BC’s makeup products! Before then, I was a mix and match makeup person. I’d do drugstore this, department store that, etc. I decided to have a BC makeup party with Niki after last year’s Christmas in the Valley, and thought I’d give it a try! After all, I basically won all of it for FREE for hosting the party! I can tell you that I immediately began to see a difference in my complexion and the longevity of my makeup! By the end of the day, BC products stay on your face, leaving you looking pretty much the same that you did after your initial application! I was also surprised at just how affordable their makeup products are!

Niki is an incredible consultant, because she is ON TOP OF THINGS! When you run out, she almost always has what you need on hand and will run it over to you many times in the same day! So whether you’re looking for a great gift idea, or if you’re in need of products for yourself, be sure to check out everything they’ve got to offer!

Vendor Spotlight 2

Today’s Vendor Spotlight is LTS Massage by Kimberly Morris! If you know me, you know I’m a sucker for a good massage! This is ALWAYS on my Christmas/Birthday/Mother’s Day/etc. gift wish list! There is just something about a good massage that leaves you walking away feeling like a new woman! =)

I went to Kimberly at LTS Massage for several prenatal massages, and boy, was she a lifesaver! I love a good, relaxing massage, but at the same time want it to be a good, deep massage! I always get so knotted up in my shoulders/upper back, and Kimberly was able to do wonders with my knots! I was so happy with her that I contacted her to see if she would be interested in participating in this year’s C in the V. To my great delight, she agreed!

She will be offering chair massages on site for $1/minute! I can’t think of a better way to enjoy your shopping experience than to end it with a nice, relaxing massage! I hope I can snatch a few minutes out of the busy day to sit down, relax and enjoy one of those!

But, the thing I am MOST excited about is that Kimberly will be offering gift certificates for hour long massages (normally $65) for ONLY $30! WOW! What a steal! Now, you can only purchase 1/person, but you can purchase additional gift certificates for gifts! What a GREAT Christmas gift! I can’t think of many people who wouldn’t be delighted to receive this on Christmas morning! I can tell you that I sure would be! (hint, hint!)

The deal is, you MUST be present at Christmas in the Valley to purchase these. This is a one day only offer, so be sure to not miss out on this great deal to pamper yourself and get a large chunk of your Christmas list checked off!

Vendor Spotlight 1

Welcome to this year’s edition of Vendor Spotlights! For the next few weeks, I will be highlighting each vendor that will be present at this year’s Christmas in the Valley, letting you know what they offer and what specials will be given that day! I can hardly wait for November 6 to get here, and I hope each of you are equally excited! If you attended Christmas in the Valley last year, you know that you DO NOT want to miss this event! For those of you who have not attended, get ready, because this is one of the season’s most exciting shopping events! We’ve got 20 of the area’s most unique vendors, and they are ALL offering special ONE DAY ONLY discounts for our event! So, mark your calendars, and come prepared to get make a big dent in your Christmas shopping list (and perhaps your personal wish list, as well!). And just think, you can do this GUILT FREE, since you know you’re getting a FABULOUS deal on everything you buy!

Today’s vendor is one that I am personally VERY excited about! It is Fly on the Wall Frames. Anna Fly has created unique and beautiful picture frames. You have got to check out her site to see what she offers! These really are nice quality frames. See a frame you love, but wish it was in different colors to better suit your home? Not a problem! Anna can customize any of her designs to suit your needs!

The pictures really speak for themselves here and combined with her reasonable prices (between $20-$50/frame), I was so excited to have her as an addition to this year’s Christmas in the Valley. BUT WAIT, it gets even better! Anna has agreed to knock $10 off the price of each and every frame for ONE DAY ONLY! I think my only problem will be deciding how many to get!
