South Florida Bloggers April Meetup: Balancing Life & Work

Do you ever feel like you just don't have time to do all the things? Are you compromising working out to get things done? Do you feel like you're always playing catch up? Join us, Alejandra Chahwan Khale from Sugar Collections, and Vanessa Rose Tilley as we discuss how to balance all the different areas of life including taking care of ourselves, our family, our work, and our content creation.

Attendees will be entered to win a Materra bundle (eco friendly mat+yoga towel+yoga strap) and a gift certificate.

My name is Alejandra Chahwan but you can call me the fashion floral designer. I'm venezuelan and syrian. I'm 34 years old. I’m a lawyer and I was a politician in Venezuela.

Since I was a kid I used to create handmade accessories for women and during the political crisis in my country, I realized that I couldn’t have a future as a lawyer or politician. In consequence, I decided to open my own business. I started making headbands and turbans, then flowercrowns. When I moved to Miami I wanted to grow my business so I became a floral designer and now I do decoration for any kind of events. I love to blog my lifestyle with my floral design and motivate people to work or discover their own passion as I discovered mine.

As a Brazilian native, Vanessa moved to Miami and started pursuing her dreams as a fashion and lifestyle blogger, along with being a local ‘it-girl’ - who has worked with luxury clients like BMW, Lancôme, Nordstrom, Victoria’s secrets, Sports Illustrated, Charlotte Tilbury, Ritz Carlton, Google, Redken… but most importantly; she is always supporting small designers and her local community.

Vanessa was recently featured on the cover of inDoral Magazine, inWeston Magazine, Miami Shoot Magazine and invited to Radio Florida Brasil.

Her energy matches her witty and fun Instagram captions- she is kind, sweet, clever, and always in the search for the perfect cappuccino.

Thank you to our sponsor, Thesis Hotel, for hosting the meetup and providing bites and drinks.

Our sponsor, Baptist Health, will be leading a meditation to help us set our intentions during our meetup.
