Babes in Business Lunch + Business Woman of the Year

Oh there is just too much going on in life at present.

I attended the December's bloggers dinner, which I will blog about soon.   My eldest son graduated primary school followed by a dinner.

I attended a Lovo Fijian Feast! And drank Kava for the first time. I will post about this with photos soon.

But the biggest event by far was hosting 21 women to the Babes in Business Event. WOW! What an amazing day.

So where do I start?

Well it was a Holiday Glamour theme - think Sex and the City goes to Abu Dhabi. I struggled with an outfit as the dress I really wanted made me look 'wide' my friends told me. In the end I purchased something which caused the following comments from the children:

Son 11 yrs "Wow mum, you look like Lady GaGa"
Son 12 yrs "Mum, are you going to an 'Under the Sea' party?"

So sporting my new under the sea dress with hot pink patent clutch and new OPI nail polish to match I headed to Moda events at Portside.

It was a blind date with a few girls, so it was both exciting and scary. Some girls I felt I had known for years but never face to face. And others I had actually known for years!

So lets tell it it photos shall we, much easier than reading jargon from moi!

There were also some new friends and some old friends who joined us, but there were cameras going off everywhere and I didn't get a photo with everyone!

So what was the best thing about the day? There were many amazing things.

1. I got to meet people I have known through blogging and business but never got to meet IRL (in real life) and it was soooooo great!

2. I nominated Stacey Sullaphen, the Sunny Mummy for 'Ultimate Babe of the Year' and considering she arrived in Brisbane only a week ago from Sydney, she was Highly Commended!

3. I nominated Biana Shugg, publisher of Peekaboo Magazine for 'Business Woman of the Year' and
SHE WON!

I am so proud of Bianca. But honestly, the best thing about the day, and when I think about it I get tears welling up.... women supporting women. Thoroughly. Completely. Without judgement.

What a wonderful day!

So grateful!
