The year started out with our third shopping event and fashion show in February. In March, Bliss ventured into the world of expos with the First Annual Hawaii Fashion and Beauty Expo at the Blaisdell. It was a hugely successful event for Bliss and was the start of a barrage of smaller shopping events, photo shoots, and fashion shows that went through the summer.
We ended the summer season with the First Annual Super Sale Expo also at the Blaisdell and was a featured vendor in the Midweek style section for the first time! This was soooo exciting...but not nearly as exciting as meeting make up artist Nathalie Kim during the shoot. I am grateful that Nathalie has become such a huge part of my life!
Probably the highlight of my year was the Hawaii Women's Expo and fashion shows in September. I was so humbled by the over 50 volunteers that collaborated to make this event such a success! Amazingly beautiful and talented models, exquisite make up by some of Hawaii's top MUAs, professional photography by 4 awesome photographers, and an impressive array of help from our Stage Manager, Back stage helpers, booth workers, Music director, and more...I can't wait to do it all over again next year! Plans will start again soon!
With the Women's expo also came an appearance on the KHON morning show with Trini Kaopuiki and our second feature in Midweek's Style section!
There are so many people that I owe so much to...I know that I can't name them all. To all of you...customers, volunteers, models, photographers, make up artists, editors, bloggers, friends, and family...thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am truly grateful for having you in my life and sincerely wish you much joy, love, and laughter this holiday season!
Bliss would not be here, however, if not for...
