O.N.E. Oasis at Mandalay Bay

Coconut water marketer O.N.E. appears to have licensed its brand to
Mandalay Bay for a pool bar concept.

At StyleChicago Modern Beauty

My mother-in-law Jan and I attended StyleChicago.com's Modern Beauty
Girls Night. We feasted on delicious hors d'oeuvres from The Ambrosia
Experience (www.ambrosiaexpwrience.com) and W Chicago - City Center.

The Ambrosia Experience offered up delicious shrimp on skewers,
guacamole and salsa on some type of pastry she'll, chicken on skewers,
and a chocolate ginger cake that people were raving about. The chef/
owner was saying that his establishment located somewhere around 3000
W Chicago gets men out of trouble (eg, the man who gets a flat screen
TV for his wife's birthday) because it offers an intimate romantic
experience.

The W provided shredded pork on a thin slice of bread, beef
tenderloin, and a unique goat cheese appetizer. It consisted of goat
cheese that looked like tofu squares, drizzled with an orange soy
sauce, and topped with one piece of granola served once in a small
white porcelain spoon and the other times on a flatbread.

Two UV cocktails (sweet green tea?), wine (don't remember the brand),
Smartwater, and Fuze beverages were served at the event. Because the
event wasn't sold out (at 12pm yesterday), Jan and I were able to fill
up on hors d'oeuvres and skip dinner. I've been to a number of similar
events, and they run out of food after 30 minutes - not the case here.

StyleChicago's Modern Beauty

Here is the goody bag from last night's StyleChicago.com's Modern
Beauty: Girls Night Out held at the W Chicago City Center at 172 W
Adams. The bag was heavy! The photo shows slightly more stuff than
what was in one goody bag. I combined contents of two bags (excluding
duplicates - the contents are slightly different from bag to bag), and
we also got lots of extra goodies from the Lumene booth including body
lotion, foundation, night serum, and eyeshadow base (items not sold in
the US).
