 Noted talent, media and VIP’s enjoyed a fun day of music from DJ Mike Shay of Superbox Music and tasty sweets from Sugar and Spyked. I enjoyed all the sweets, but the standouts were the lemon margarita cookies and the double chocolate whiskey cookies. Yum!

Clothing and accessory-wise, attendees were well taken care of. Festival goers picked up trendy Brazilian yoga jumpsuits from Shama Jade and jewelry from STAGE Men’s Collection & Glamarella JUNK. “Our fine supplex fabrics are manufactured in Brazil and our company headquarters are here in LA. Jade means unconditional love and shama means enlightenment and spark of fire and that’s what I’m trying to spread with this line,” said founder Avalon Barrie.
