Every Mama needs a little girlfriend time — and I don’t mean playdates! Take a little time for yourself this weekend and head to Del Mar Fairgrounds for the Fifth Annual Women’s Head to Toe Expo happening Friday, December 4-6 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (goes to 6 p.m. on Saturday, December 5). The event will feature over 200 local and regional vendors and exhibitors in the Shopping Village, in addition to featured speakers each day.
This year’s speakers include: Jen Guerin of HGTV’s “Design Star” will be discussing how to bring more color to your life and sharing anecdotes from the show; the Women’s History Museum will be doing a live fashion show, “Fashion Through the Ages, Renaissance to the 40s“; Gardening Guru Tiger Palafox from Mission Hills Nursery (and of HGTV and TLC fame), will share tips and trends on how to make your home look festive for the holidays with plant arrangements; and on the Culinary Stage, Elizabeth Podiadlo, the Opera Singing Chef, and Elizabeth Harris of Elizabethan Desserts of Encinitas (YUM!) will demonstrate delicious, easy recipes and offer samplings.
There will also be plenty of time for pampering at the Artistry Brand Mobile Experience Beauty Bus! Attendees can find out how to look healthier and younger. New this year is the Nintendo DSi Connect and Share Lounge that offers the opportunity for you to unwind and play a few games and enter to win one of your very own DSi game consoles. On Saturday, the San Diego County of Education is hosting a authors reading and book signing in the children’s area.
Cost is $8 for admission and children 12 and under are free. For more information and a complete schedule visit, www.headtotoewomensexpo.com.
It promises to be a fun time — just leave the kiddos at home for this one! Mama hopes to see you there!
