Beauty Grail

I’ve just received this email announcing a Mimco Sale though it did not come with text on the particulars ( I went to their site and it’s not there either).

I have yet to own a Mimco bag however, I really like the story behind the brand. It goes that Amanda Briskin started by using $5000 of her own savings to travel to China to source bags. She came up with two design and 11 years later manage to build and sell up a multimillion dollar business. Very impressive! Also inspiring for young entrepreneurs!

Are you a budding entrepreneur? What ideas (be it Fashion, design etc) do you have?

I have to admit, I am a regular FB (Face Book ) user . Apart from keeping in touch with distant friends, I’ve found the site useful in getting updates on news and events such as SkunkFunk Sydney’s Muy Loco Sale on now until the end of this weekend (Sunday, July 13, 2008 at 6:00pm)

Up to 50% off Skunkfunk & 30% off other imported labels! Check them out at 485 Crown Street Surry Hills, Sydney.

I know it’s ‘yonks away’ but one event that I’ve marked on my diary (and perhaps you will be too) is the Organic Expo at Darling Harbour . The exhibition features 200+ exhibitors to satiate your every organic whim from learning all about sustainable and practical living, sampling fresh food and getting your hand on Oceania’s Premier Certified Organic and Environmental Products & Services. I’ll be sure to make a beeline for the Personal Care, Health & Beauty stalls.

The Organic Expo is open to Trade & Media Visitors on Friday 25 July 2008 and Saturday 26 & Sunday 27 July 2008 for the general public (like me). Tickets ($15 adults and $12 for kids) cover entrance, food and drink sampling, a Certified Organic Cotton showbag as well as the chance to buy or order the freshest and best produce available.

See you there!
