2.) Fresh Kairos Coffee AND Holiday Mimosas & MOM-osas
Not drinking? Not a problem! You still deserve to sip something that feels fancy. Our lovely sponsor Holiday Wine and Liquor will be providing refreshments for all, whether you’re taking a splash of champagne or not.
The lovely couple of Kairos Coffee Catering is also bringing their mobile coffee cart and serving fresh coffee, decaf, and espresso drinks for all of our Bloom attendees! WOW!!!
3.) Hello, cute tote! … and smile for the camera!
Check out our Bloom ’18 swag bags! They were designed by our very own Anastasia, and will be handed out at Bloom events nationwide. Follow the hashtag #CMBNBloom18 for more national fun! The bag alone is an awesome take-home from our event, but we went ahead and packed it with over $100 worth of goodies from our sponsors. (You deserve it.)
