Thursday is National Girlfriends Day, and the Walk In Art Center is celebrating in style with an all-ladies beauty and wellness expo called “The Girlfriend Experience” from 6 to 9 p.m.
“The idea is for ladies to get a group of friends together on a Sunday afternoon and celebrate each other with friendship and fun,” says Jacquie Engel, executive director of the Schuylkill Haven venue. “There will be wine slushies, chocolate, chair massages, beauty tips, shopping, great live music, eats, and an opportunity to get a fun and candid photo taken of groups of BFFs. We hope ladies will come and hang out for the day and just relax.”
Vocalist Rebecca Jade will perform music by great female artists.
The event is free to the public, but ladies can get a VIP package that will include a Wine Slush from King Cole Winery, a chair massage from True Radiance Spa, a Chocolate bundle from C&C Candies, a girlfriend photo shoot of yourself and your gals, 10 tickets for a Dooney & Bourke handbag and other prizes in the ticket raffle, and discounts and samples from the event vendors.
“We want the ladies to get the red carpet treatment, so limited VIP packages are available,” Engel said.
“It would be a great way to commemorate a special time in a woman’s life when her girlfriends are her sanity and support system,” Engel added. “And it doesn’t need to be just girlfriends. Generational groups with grandmas, moms, and daughters would be fantastic too.”
Other activities include yoga with Kim and aerial hammocks from Schuylkill Aerial and Wellness for ladies to try out. Some vendors will have demos and services that can be done right on the spot, like Lip Flips and Chair Massages from True Radiance Spa. Gals can get their group photo with Chandon Photography. Vendors will have cash-and-carry items and samples.
