The Ladies For Networking Breakfast

The Pink Tarha attended another Ladies 4 Networking Breakfast in Outback Steakhouse Restaurant last week. This time, we signed up for a speech slot to share The Pink Tarha blog and our other social media sites to other ladies in Riyadh. Eyecandy gave a brief talk about The Pink Tarha. We were not selling anything, just telling the attendees that they can have "friends" in Riyadh if they want to and that would be us, The Pink Tarha ladies. ;)

Eyecandy explaining what The Pink Tarha is about.
Saudi Arabia and The Pink Tarha
Like the first Ladies 4 Networking event, there was a breakfast section in the Outback Restaurant which served mini cheesecakes, cupcakes, donuts, and croissants from Golden Brown Bakery and Munch Bakery. There was also a vendor section at the family area where we get to see and know more about products that are available here in Riyadh from local home bakers, crafters, and a few companies. Here's a photo list of those who were present:

Yummy cupcakes! 
Cake pops and chocolate lollipops
Cecile Perez of Dolce Cecilia came with trays of cupcakes, cake pops, and chocolates. We love her cupcakes because they're not too sweet and the icing is rightly-proportioned for the cake base (SR 3.50 per piece; 24 pieces minimum order). The chocolates were simple and not the usual chocolates you'll taste in commercial brands. This is the ones you can give out as souvenirs and gifts without burning a hole in your pocket. I have yet to try the cake pops which were decorated by various cute candy toppings. Contact Cecile at dolce_cecilia@yahoo.com or +966-50-871-6437.

Mini cheesecakes and cream cheese brownies
Chocolate overload!
Cielo Algaeed of Cielo's Sweet Treats is now branching out her mini business. She brought a few mini cheesecakes, cream cheese brownies, and her new cream puffs; this time more puffed out and covered with hardened caramel. She also displayed her very chocolatey cake adorned with M&Ms and Kitkat. Contact Cielo at cielo.p.algaeed@gmail.com or +966-55-5491229.


There's also Forever Living, which brought their aloe products. Remember the aloe vera gel that Sampaguita Pride featured before? Well, they have a lot more aloe products being offered. They even has a set of toners, washes, and moisturizers to combat acne. A friend swears by the shampoo and conditioner. If you're interested to try their products, you can contact Ms. Melva Lisondra at lm_lisondra@yahoo.com and +966-50-7286220.

Organic skincare and mineral makeup
Natural patches and Alternatif products
Alternatifs was present again and they brought Miessence products, a line of certified organic skincare, haircare, and cosmetic products. There's also their line of Natural Patches of Vermont, body patches which you can use for specific concerns like stress, PMS, sleep deprivation, cough and colds. 

Cute frocks for babies
Bracelets and bangles
We've been a liker of The What Nots Shop in Facebook. I'm just amazed at the crocheting skills of the owner/s. So much patience and creativity! Apart from the frocks and ponchos they make for babies, their table in the event was filled with cute accessories and bracelets. They even have cute rings and crocheted earrings which are good for dressing up a plain outfit. Contact them at the.whatnots.shop@live.com and +966-55-992-4109.



There's also an Egyptian lady selling well-crafted jewelries and accessories. Her sister in Egypt designs them and she's the one who's selling them for her. They use various stones and materials. They also have pins and charm bracelets. You can message Abeer Abdel Khalek in her Facebook page for inquiries.

Cake and cake toppers!

If you just want to spice up your cupcakes, it has cupcake toppers which you can just put depending on the occasion. If you want an in-depth decoration class, they also offer them at various schedules. If you want them to decorate a cake for you, then that's also their expertise.
