Halloween Is A Night For A Little Treat

Ding-dong! Trick or treat Empower Events' lovers. It's time for our annual Halloween event. We know everyone already has their costumes picked out but now it's time to reveal the details of our party. Leave the kids at home because this is not your typical costume party! We are going to make this a Halloween you'll never forget!

When you step into Greystone Manor you will be amazed at the transformation from nightclub to haunted house. The party starts at 9:30 pm and ends whenever you'd like it to! Or when they kick us out. Either way, it'll be a night filled with drinks, dancing, and fun people. A cover charge of 20 dollars will be collected at the door which will allow you to get a little spooky at the bar for the rest of the night. 

Some of the signature drinks that will be served will be candy corn Jello shots, Hocus Pocus fizz, witches brew, poisoned apple, and the vampire cocktail.

Our favorite DJ Dillon Francis will be there all night to keep the party going. He will be playing music from his new album as well some of your favorites. At the end of the night Dillon will be judging the costume contest so make sure to dress to impress!

Self Defense In Disguise

Putting Power Back Into Women's Hands Without Others Knowing

As women it is hard to feel safe walking to your car after work, going on a date for the first time, or walking home from the bar. A lot of times we try to be aware of our surroundings but things slip past us. Being protected from danger with self defense tools will help put your mind at ease. Our friends from SafetyGirl have the best products that would fool anyone into thinking they are everyday items! Take a look at our favorite products:

For the low cost of $5.31 you can purchase the best lipstick around. Carry this lipstick pepper spray in your purse, clutch, or backpack in total disguise. No one will know what's really under the cap except for you. The lipstick pepper spray has a 10 foot range and allows for up to 10 sprays. It comes in different colors as well! Pick whatever color you think says "Stay the hell away from me." This is perfect for a date that could potentially go wrong.

2. Police Magnum Peper Spray Pen

Many women carry around pens in their purse, but this isn't an ordinary pen. This $3.50 pen is actually pepper spray! This is ideal for college students to keep in backpacks while walking to and from classes or the library. There is a 12 foot range and 10 sprays per canister. Next time someone asks for a pen- make sure to give them the right one! They could be in for an unpleasant surprise.

Cell Phone Stun Gun

3. Cell Phone Stun Gun

Last, but not least, the cell phone stun gun. This one has to be my favorite. Who is caught without their cellphones these days? Don't be caught without yours! This cell phone shaped stun gun will catch an attacker completely off guard. Your attacker will have 1,000,000 volts going through their body and just as many regrets messing with you. This cell phone stun gun is only $22! Completely ideal for any situation.

Don't Be Caught Without These Items!

We Can Cure It!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Every October the leaves change colors to oranges, yellows, and browns. Every October we are introduced to another color. Pink. Each year we recognize October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. According to BreastCancer.org there has been 290,000 new cases of breast cancer so far in 2015. We at Empower Events want to bring awareness to this disease to help the women in our lives stay healthy and fight Breast Cancer. Our upcoming event will have us all saying, "We Can Cure It!"

Head down to Studio 1342 in East Los Angeles at noon for the start of our event. A buffet of brunch will be served in an open ballroom filled with white, silver, and pink decorations! Tables will be made by reservations so don't delay! During brunch we will listen to a Breast Cancer survivor Giuliana Rancic, who is a news anchor for E! News. She will share her journey with us and be open for questions and answers after her speech.

Think Pink and Have Some Fun 

Pink Hair Extensions

Our friends from The Loft will have a mini salon set up for some much needed pampering! The Loft specializes in beauty from haircuts to nail art. These hairstylists will be volunteering their time to Cut For A Cure. For $30 you can get your hair washed, cut, and styled by some of the best hairstylists in Los Angeles while donating to a good cause. The $30 will all be donated to the Los Angeles Breast Cancer Alliance in hopes of finding a cure. Along with hair cuts, The Loft stylists will be selling temporary pink hair extensions for $10! These extensions will be put in by the professionals. You may also get your nails done with amazing designs! Nail sets will be $15 and guaranteed to show your support for Breast Cancer.

Empower Events has always encouraged women to be tested for Breast Cancer and we are aware that everyone doesn't have the access to testing. This is why we are working with Planned Parenthood to provide free mammograms to all women who attend! Stop by the Planned Parenthood booth to learn more about mammograms and other Breast Cancer care. 

At the end of our night at 5:30 pm we will be having a lantern and candle ceremony. During the day you will be able to decorate a white lantern that will be set into the night sky. These lanterns can represent a woman who is fighting, has fought, or has been affected by Breast Cancer. Decorating lanterns will be $5 and all proceeds will be donated to the Los Angeles Breast Cancer Alliance. When it becomes dark we will release these lanterns to fill the sky with light.

I am very excited to announce that our friends from Inspired By You & Co. are partnering with us for a special event. Amie, founder of Inspired By You & Co, is flying out from the beautiful Chippewa Valley in Wisconsin to join us in California! Inspired By You & Co. is a DIY company that helps you bring your ideas to life. This event will be held on October 10, 2015.

Amie will be bringing mason jars that can be fully decorated with burlap, glass markers, rein stones, ribbon, and much more! These mason jars can be used for a wide range of things such as pencil holders, note jars, coffee ground holders, soap dispenser, or just decoration. This event is fun for all ages and we encourage you to bring friends, family, and neighbors! The cost will be five dollars for each mason jar you choose to create (materials included within fee).

October is the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Empower Events along with Inspired By You & Co. wants to help raise awareness. There will be special pink mason jars available for decoration along with pink and white decorations. Each jar will be five dollars as well, but will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. After you completed the jar, we encourage you to write an empowering note to place inside. We will be distributing these jars with goodies inside to local area hospital Breast Cancer patients. If you would like to have your mason jar shipped to a woman who does not live around the Los Angeles area, we will do that free of charge! We hope to raise women's hopes and spirits during these hard times.

Amie and I are so excited to see all of you at the Empower Events headquarters on October 10th to make fun decorations for your home as well as helping a good cause. If you have any questions or comments feel free to drop them below!
