Princesses Make More Magic Event
“Behind every successful woman is a tribe of other successful women who have her back.”
Being a blogger/social media influencer can be a very lonely and isolating job. Most of my “work” hours are from 8:30pm-12:30am, with the exception of day time events where I am also a mom and influencer. The lines of working can be very blurred since we share so much of our personal lives. The awesome part is that the online community can be so supportive and starts to feel like a second family. That is exactly why Kim from The Parentologist and I wanted to start planning events to that our online friends could start to be real life friends too.
We planned our first event a year ago called Princesses in the Park (you can read more about there here). It was received so well by not only the ladies we invited but also by the companies that donated products and all of our followers who saw the fun we had. We were also able to do a giveaway to help spread the love.
So we decided to do it again. The next time we decided to have a tea party at the Disneyland Hotel and called it Princesses take on Tea (read more about that here). We were able to broaden our guest list and give even more goodies to those that attended and again pass on the goodies with giveaways to our followers at home.
It took us a while to recuperate from all the work it takes to throw such events, but when we did we decided we needed to add even more ladies to our list so that our mission of connecting and collaborating with other Disney loving moms working their tails off was being reached.
We were able to lock in a few title sponsors and book the private dining room at the Napa Rose at Disney’s Grand California Hotel at Disneyland. It was a beautiful evening filled with friends, laughter and of course great food and goodies for everyone.
Now on to the companies that helped us make this dream a reality…
TITLE SPONSORS:
Kids Embrace – Calling all parents who have littles in car seats! Kids Embrace has the cutest Disney themed (and super hero themed) carseats. I absolutely fell in LOVE with the Minnie and Mickey ones that they sent us, but Rosie had a hard time deciding if she liked some of the princess designs better. What a tricky decision for a 4 and 6 year old! Plus, they are such a great company that is always giving back, especially to families looking to adopt.
Sunstaches – Do you want to have some fun in the sun? Then Sunstaches are your go-to source. These fun Disney themed glasses are so fun to wear to Disneyland or even to give as party favors for your next birthday. There are so many cute styles for kids and adults alike.
Bumpkins – Hello practical, but adorable, bags on the go. I LOVE the re-useable snack bags, wet bags and travel bags. They also have dishes, bibs, and so much more on their site. There are so many fun Disney patterns but my favorites might be the princess ones!;) Use Code PRINCESS TURNED MOM for a discount.
Get Away Today – Looking to book your next vacation, but looking for a good deal? Then look no further! Get Away Today will help you find the best deal on your next trip, including a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth. Here is a link for you to use as well as a discount code, I highly suggest checking them out! Use code PRINCESSMOM for $10 off your next Southern California package.
Petite n’ Pretty – Our daughter went gaga for this makeup!! And although it’s super kid friendly it is also something I would wear as well. It is cruelty free, peanut free…This would make great stocking stuffers for any girl, tween, teen or adult in your life that loves a little extra sparkle!!!
LILLEBaby – The best in baby carriers and pretty much the cutest as well. Their adorable Disney patterns are pretty perfect for all you Mickey fans and perfect for a busy day in the parks. Plus the fabrics are breathable yet sturdy. I don’t wear my babies anymore but they also have doll carriers for the little ones to use as well. Shop the Mickey carrier or the Minnie carrier or even the adorable kid carrier.
PRODUCT SPONSORS:
Lillian and Co. – I have been wearing their gorgeous bangle bracelets for almost a year now and the only problem I have is trying to decide which quote I love the most. They have the best Disney sayings (as well as a few non-Disney as well) that make the perfect touch on my Disney outfits. Use PRINCESSTURNEDMOM for a discount. These would also make great stocking stuffers!
JuJuBe – What event would be complete without the perfect bag to fit all of your goodies?!? Of course JuJuBe is known for their amazing diaper bags, but these backpacks give me all the heart eyes, especially in this red and white polka dot, which reminds me of Minnie Mouse. There are so many compartments, with tons of space and they are machine washable!!
Otterbox – I have been admiring these Disney cases for months now so I am so excited to be working with them. We all know Otterbox cases are the most sturdy and protect our phones the best, but the styles are also the cutest. I mean, its a toss up for me whether to pick the Minnie or the Princess ones.
This Bar Saves Lives – I am a HUGE fan of This Bar! For every bar you buy they donate life saving nutrition to someone in need! How amazing is that?!? Plus, they are low in sugar, gluten free, but taste SUPER YUMMY!!! Can be found at most Target’s, Starbucks and Whole Foods.
Brothers All Natural – Another one of our favorite snacks! We love taking their dried fruit into the parks or throwing them in the kids lunch boxes. You can actually buy them in Disneyland too!!
E and M Magical Designs – The most dainty and pretty necklaces with Disney themes. Of course we picked different Princess images for our event, but she has so many options. I chose the rose because, of course, Belle is my favorite princess, but they were all beautiful.
Red Feather Apparel – Can you say the perfect shirt for the park? Their shirts are so clever and cute, again I had to pick the Belle one, but all of the Princesses ones are so cute. They have tons of other styles, including a Gaston one they sent over for my hubby (we can’t wait to wear these in the parks)! Thanks Red Feather!
DZNYKRAFTGRLZ – The sweetest mama who handmade over 24 pairs of ears for all of us mamas, all with different princess designs! If you are in need of a new set of ears, you definitely need to check her out!
And a very special THANK YOU to Disneyland for providing all of the influencers with a Halloween themed goody bag with all kinds of treats.
