 Dear JABBERS: I am beside myself over the reservations that have been pouring in for our 5YJ party on October 3rd. I am as excited to gather with all of you {our JABBERS, our clients, our board members, our friends, our supporters and our community} as I am to celebrate the milestone of our five year anniversary. Many of you have powerful stories to share about the connections you have made with each other through JAB over the past five years. JABBERS, you have taken on many roles in our community: information swappers, supporters, friends, confidantes, advisors, helpers, guides, do-gooders, philanthropists and in some cases, life changers. This is a community that we have built together and one that I am proud of everyday. I cannot wait to see you, thank you, and commend you all in person.
 If you haven't made your reservation yet, CLICK HERE. But please hurry! Zadok Gallery is gorgeous, but space is limited and it's filling up fast! {This event benefits United Way of Miami-Dade.}
We look forward to raising a glass with you on Thursday, October 3rd.
Now on to the really important things ... what to wear?!
Happy JABBING!
~Boo

Fresh Faced for JAB's Fifth Anniversary Fête
We're putting on our best face for our upcoming fête on October 3rd, so we reached out to Global Chief Creative Officer, Cornelia Zicu, at Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa for exclusive, expert aesthetic advice. With two weeks to go before our 5th anniversary celebration, you have just enough time to reveal a new, glowing complexion.
- Always protect skin from the sun. SPF 30 or higher is a must.
- Always remove make-up before going to sleep.
 In order to obtain a glowing complexion, use a cleanser with AHA, an exfoliator and a good hydration mask at least once a week. - Always use skincare products with strong anti-oxidants, peptides, minerals, fatty acids and vitamins.
- Drink at least one glass of water every morning to replace the water lost during sleep.
- Wear sunglasses, as skin around the eye area is very delicate and should always be protected.
- Treat hands and lips as you would your face. Use ultra-moisturizing hand cream and high-quality lip balm.
