PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES PEDICURE EVENT

Most people think of pedicures as a beauty treatment but they are a lot more than that. Recently, a men’s professional sports team engaged us to perform pedicures for their players and it made all the sense in the world. Teams invest so much money in their players, and their feet are a big part of that investment. Almost everything they, or any athlete does — running, jumping, pivoting, dodging — starts with their feet. So keeping them healthy is essential and pedicures are a great way to do it.

We have to admit we were pretty amazed at some of the feet we saw. First their size, up to size 17!!! But also how neglected they were. Dead and dry skin, overgrown toenails, and lots of wear and tear from the pounding they take. Pedicures were just what they needed. A relaxing pedicure included soaking the feet in warm water, exfoliating dead skin, cutting and shaping nails, and moisturizing skin. There was also massaging of the leg and foot which helped improve circulation, reduce foot pain, and relax muscles. It can also help athletes’ feet recover faster after a workout or game.

The men loved their pedicures and you could see they really noticed the difference. Especially for them, who compete at such a high level, taking good care of their feet is so important. But also for any athlete who wants to perform at their peak, pedicures are a simple way to keep your feet in top condition and avoid potential issues. And yes, they do keep your feet beautiful, too.

BENEFITS OF A MOBILE SPA RECRUITING EVENT

We recently had the pleasure of helping Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC) with a recruiting event. We brought in chair massages, manicures, and hand massages to help their candidates feel relaxed and welcome as they learned about PwC and got to know other potential candidates. Everyone loved the services and more importantly, they set a great tone and made for a comfortable atmosphere where it was easy for people to engage with each other. The result was lots of great dialogue between the candidates, the recruiters and the PwC team members who were there to talk about their experiences at the company. As we all know company culture is a very important consideration and every candidate left that day with a positive feeling about PwC, not to mention some loose backs and pretty nails.

BEAUTY PARTY PREP

It is party season and time to shine! There is no better way to get into the festive spirit, than with glowing skin and great mood!

So here are a few quick tips to help you look fresh, and healthy is ready for your next night out.

• Hands, Feet, Nails ✔️

I usually get mani-pedi a day or two before the event to make sure my nails are pristine and chip-free. As for my heels, I go with a quick in-home foot mask, it helps to keep dryness and flakiness at bay.

• Get your Hair Ready for Styling ✔️

Sometimes it is hard to get the desired volume and texture for your hair on the day of the party so try washing your hair the night before your event. It saves so much time and creates a perfect base for hairstyling.

• Relax and get ready for fun ✔️

Enjoy this pre-party night. A bath or shower to rinse off before my event always makes me feel fresh. Pamper your skin with a good face mask or facial cream.

AFFORDABLE EMPLOYEE WELLNESS IDEAS

Numerous studies show that job stress is far and away the major source of stress for American adults.

Employee Wellness Events can help alleviate stress in the workspace.

• We all need a break! During a demanding workweek, a 10-minute break to unwind and recharge can seem impossible, especially when you need it most. It is simple to access physical, mental, and emotional wellness right at your office with corporate chair massages.

• Create an amazing atmosphere. Employees spend a lot of time with their co-workers. The more they enjoy it, the happier the workplace will be. A Wellness Event could be a great opportunity and atmosphere for employees to come together and a great productivity booster for the entire office.

• There is always something for everyone! Everyone can be pampered with different services, including Chair Massages, Mini-Facials, Manicures, Pedicures as well as Hair Styling and Make-Up demonstrations. Even a 5-minute hand massage works wonders.

• Event packages can reduce your overall expenses.

EVENT PLANNING TIPS

Successful events do not happen with luck.  A memorable professional event, whether its an employee appreciation day, a product launch party, or a VIP celebration, always begins with a sound plan.  PrimpEvents creates events that make our clients look like super stars, and we have gathered a lot of good tips over the years to make any event a delightful success.  Follow these basic event planning pointers and you'll be on your way to hosting the most-talked about event of the season!

1. Know your audience and why you are bringing them together.  Putting some thought in to who exactly you are inviting and what you hope to accomplish will help you define the scope of the event.  With the big picture in place many of the details including venue and types of entertainment will be easier to tackle.

2.  If money only grew on trees managing the budget would be the easy part.  But since budget is a reality for any business, be realistic and do you homework.  Make a list of the services you'll need and call around.  Request online quotes.  Talk to the vendors and make sure every dollar counts.  If your guests have everything they need and you meet the budget, your event will be a success.

3.  Details matter, so stay organized and use checklists.  Imagine an event that's going perfectly - the lighting is impeccable, the signature cocktail is a hit, the guests are all smiling and happy - until you realize that no one arranged transportation for the keynote speaker from the hotel to your party.  Keep good notes and make sure to check them twice.

4.  Enjoy the party!  You've worked hard to show your guests a good time and your attitude is contagious.  You can catch up on sleep after the event, but for now be the Host or Hostess with the Mostest and have a great time.
