Our first NYC Brunch meetup of 2013 took place yesterday at Highpoint Bistro & Bar. So many diverse industries and perspectives were represented.

Here are 6 Tips that are important to remember:
 
1. Keep a Positive Mind - Master the art of positive thinking. You are worthy and deserving of the best life has to offer, but also its challenges.
 
2. Know Your Value - Don't sell yourself or your time short.
 
3. Control and Learn from Your Emotions
 
4. Never Stop Learning - Stay up on current trends in your industry
 
5. Surround Yourself with Good People - Have a circle of people that encourage and support your ambition.

Give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. Do something you enjoy.

Let's Do Brunch! Philly Meetup {Winter 2013}

Left to Right: L Ayers, Jamillah Yaasmin Johnson, Nikkia Moss, Anjelica Hill, Danielle Jeter, Chanel Tartt-Minor, Jasmine Wall, and Etophia Lane


Our first meetup of 2013 was another success. We returned to one of our favorite locations Square 1682 (121 S. 17th Street adjacent to the Hotel Palomar). Our Business Girl Topic of the Day addressed "The Power of Patience". Here's a peek at our tip sheet for those unable to join us:

By HAVING PATIENCE you:
• Become meticulous and attentive to important details.
• Think logically and use more common sense.
• More likely to be prepared and have goals in place.
• Understand your strengths and weaknesses.
• Will be able to establish your resources and needs and know how to manage them.

IMPATIENT people are:
• Much more impulsive.
• More likely to jump to conclusions.
• Make hasty decisions that ultimately cost their business.

THINGS TO REMEMBER:
• Have a healthy dose of AMBITION to establish your goals.
• Take the necessary steps towards those goals and evaluate along the way. Some will yield success and some may go horribly wrong and that is okay.
• Take action! Don’t get stuck and never give up. You can always come back to a goal if it wasn’t accomplished. Having patience will help you take those steps.

Our next Philly meetup will be Sunday, April 28th.

Thanks to everyone for coming out!

Luxury tea brand, Tea By Tiffany hosts evening tea soiree in honor of Flo Anthony
 
 

On August 29 at 7 p.m., Tea By Tiffany will host a tea party honoring legendary entertainment journalist and publicist Flo Anthony. The event will take place at a private location in Sag Harbor.

Flo Anthony is one of the few African American women who have withstood the changing paradigm of celebrity journalism for over 20 years.

The event will bring together the best of Flo Anthony’s friends, supporters and those that love MJ.

The evening will be presented with a traditional five course tea, tea cocktails and a champagne toast. The event will conclude with a DJ celebratory mix of Michael Jackson hits, with today and yesteryear’s classics presented by New York award winning DJ- Mr. Phantastik.

The event not only gathers tea lovers and evokes great conversation; it recognizes individual women and groups of women within various sectors of society, culture and industry.
“I find that the guest of honor is thrilled to be honored for the work and tireless dedication they’ve exhibited in a specific field. The experience had by the attendee is one of true support and admiration for someone who has truly made a powerful impact on our culture. These two aspects alone make this event very unique and very special,” says hostess Tiffanydenise.

In keeping with the giving the spirit of Michael Jackson, Tiffany's Tea Party will donate a portion of the private ticket sales to a local Sag Harbor resident currently battling cancer through Giveforward.com.

Vocalist Walter Christopher will provide soulful sounds of original music and Michael Jackson covers.

For this special event Tea By Tiffany has teamed up with local South Hampton event planning company, Intimate Wishes.
