Woman of the Month: A Day in the Life of Chey Reynolds (Giveaway)

Earlier this month we introduced you to Chey Reynolds, our October Woman of the Month. She’s the Director of Marketing and Development for City House, and she’s been vital in helping Friscovania come together. Her official job title may be a mouthful, but basically she’s in charge of making sure City House raises enough money throughout the year to not only stay afloat, but flourish and grow to new heights.

If you read our interview from earlier in the month (find it here), you’ll know she’s had quite an interesting life journey that eventually brought her to City House. Her level of passion and drive for the youth that City House helps is inspiring. We’ve seen that passion and drive come out full force on Friscovania, so now it’s time to take a peek behind the curtains and find out what a day in the life of Chey Reynolds looks like.

Be sure to enter the Friscovania prize pack giveaway at the bottom, especially because we’ll have not one winner but three!

Woman of the Month: A Day in the Life of Melissa Rountree (Giveaway)

Welcome to a Day in the Life of Melissa Rountree, our September Woman of the Month! She’s the founder and owner of Level 3 Active, a board member on The Elisa Project, a luxury real estate agent, and an instructor at The Bar Method. She’s also a devoted mother and loving wife. As you can imagine, her schedule is jam-packed.

As we learned in our interview with Melissa earlier this month (which you can read here), family is so important to her. It’s a big reason why she decided to join The Elisa Project this year as a board member. She was just about to take a step back from some of her charity work when this opportunity presented itself and she knew she couldn’t pass it up.

This year is the 7^th annual ESTEEM show, a fashion show with a twist! It’s all about promoting self-esteem and confidence in young people, so Melissa will be walking the runway with her daughter, while Darlington and I will be joining her and many others.

The event is this Saturday, September 17^th, and you can find more details here.

Please enjoy our behind-the-scenes look at a Day in the Life of Melissa Rountree, and don’t forget to enter her Level 3 Active giveaway! Details are at the bottom of this post.

Woman of the Month: A Day in the Life of Khanh Nguyen (Giveaway)

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people tell me that when they see one of Khanh’s dresses for the first time, they get hooked and fall madly in love with absolutely everything she does. And I can’t blame them! That’s exactly what happened to me and she ended up designing dresses for my entire wedding party.

(Read the full story in our interview with Khanh!)

Every single time I wear one of her designs, I get dozens of compliments, several oohs and ahhs, and many people asking who designed my dress. Here are a few of the custom designs she’s created for me over the years.
