Our sassy & spooky girls’ night out (a recap)

Emily — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 00:39:32 +0000

Because we took a little vacay during the holidays, our recap of our Halloween girls’ night out is a bit overdue, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a super fun evening full of good food, games, prizes, new friends and a tour of Jordan Valley Medical Center’s new Breast Care Center.

We loved hosting a Halloween party and seeing everyone arrive in costume. I don’t think we saw any repetitive outfits in the entire group!

And of course there was plenty of partying to go around. (We like it that way!)

We were all exhausted by night’s end (some of us more than others).

We have lots of fun photos from that evening, including shots of the great appetizers the Breast Care Center provided for our little shindig. You can view them all and get some costume ideas for 2012 here.

As for the Breast Care Center, I don’t know that our guests knew what to expect when it came to the short presentation by Dr. Jane Porretta, medical director at the center, but her presentation was awesome. She spent just a few minutes helping all of us “think pink” (October is Breast Cancer Awareness month) and talked about the signs of breast cancer in thirty-something year-old women and the importance of early detection.

Believe you me, that early detection is super important.

Many of the ladies went on a tour of the new Breast Care Center at Jordan Valley, which truly is amazing.

I was able to tour it in June and wrote a post about my experience including photos to try and show off its spa-like atmosphere (an important aspect of the center). My favorite part of it all? Having a nurse advocate who works with you and the doctors. It sort of streamlines everything. And that’s another awesome thing about the center: seriously reduced wait time on tests.

You can get a behind-the-scenes look at the center and read more info about it in my original post on isthisREALLYmylife.com.

Can you tell we had a really, really good time. It didn’t hurt we had some fabulous prizes: Sweet Tooth Fairy cupcakes and cake bites, Utah Truffles gift baskets, jars of delicious candy and even a gift card from Fotofly for one of their new outdoor sessions.

Oh, how we love to party!

Now the Sassies are back from their holiday break and already have some great local business reviews for SassyScoops.com. Next week we’ll feature One Sweet Slice, a new bakery in South Jordan. It was divine. DIVINE.

Wishing you a wonderful 2012!

Join us for our “Sassy” Fall GNO!

Our Spring SassyScoops girls’ night out (GNO) was such a hit, we couldn’t wait to start planning one for Fall. And The Chocolate was such a hit with the Sassies, we couldn’t wait to use their super cute location for another super sassy GNO!

As you know, we’re all about getting the word out about local business AND we love a good girls’ night out, so we’ve combined the two for another truly awesome, totally sassy get-together. Plan now to join us on Thursday, October 7th at 7:00 p.m. at The Chocolate in Orem—and like I strongly suggested last time, grab a Sharpie and mark it on your calendar. Now.

Our girls’ nights out are a heck of a lot of fun and filled with good friends, tasty food and great giveaways. You won’t want to miss out, we promise!

Follow-up Friday: Wanna Be a Derby Girl?

Vanessa — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 10:08:34 +0000

I do!! After last week’s Salt City Derby Girls game, I’m hooked! I’m ready for quad skates, funky pink argyle socks, and a stylin’ helmet to protect me from those killer crashes!

Here’s some video of these Derby Girls in action and an interview with “China White” from the Leave it to Cleaver team!

It was a great night, a double header with the teams Death Dealers vs. Sisters of No Mercy, then Leave it to Cleavers vs. Bomber Babes. The point of the game is to get the “jammer” (star helmet skater) to pass the other team’s blockers the first time around, then back around to pass them all again, and she gets a point for each person she passes. There’s a lot of pushing, shoving, and skating round and round in circles.

You even get to pick your own Derby Girl name. Maybe I could be the “Sassy Scooper” or “Scoopin’ Sass”! But first I need take skate lessons from Axta Grind!

Here’s me with Brew Haha, the President of the league. But I need to work on my stare down! With my cheesy smile, maybe I don’t have what it takes to Derby… Brew looks soooo tough!
