Briarcliff Village Goes Red for Women

By | Uncategorized, Village Events

Leave a Comment

Red is a good color for February. It’s also a great reminder of a heart-healthy lifestyle. From Feb. 1 to 14, Briarcliff Village will be joining Go Red For Women, a national campaign focused on heart disease in women. Come be part of our Window Display Contest, win a $100 gift card, and raise awareness that could save lives.

Watch our Facebook page for pictures of our merchants’ Go Red display windows. Vote in-store for your favorite, and you’ll be entered into a drawing for a $100 Briarcliff Village gift card. (We’ll announce the winner on Facebook, too.) In addition, we’ll be posting some resources and information about women and heart disease that we hope you’ll find helpful.

Heart disease is the #1 killer among women. But sadly, most of us never think about it as a “woman’s” health issue. By joining together, we can help each other learn and lower our risks. Please join us in this cause. Let’s Go Red!

Remember in grade school when your mom baked cupcakes for your birthday? So do we. That’s why we love the latest promotion at Sugar Mamma’s Bakery. Owners Earl and Debbie Wetzel, whose stated mission is “a cupcake for every person in Kansas City,” are starting by giving one free cupcake to every customer on their birthday. Just add Sugar Mamma’s as a “friend” on Facebook to be entered into their calendar. (Make sure you have your birthday listed on your profile.) Then, walk in on your b-day and claim your sugary sweet, frosting-topped prize.

Invite your friends for a cupcake party, just like in the old days. Or, take some quiet time to relax and enjoy a cup of Roasterie coffee and free wi-fi. In fact, the next time you’re at Sugar Mamma’s, you can pull out your laptop and “friend” them right there. On your next birthday, you’ll be the kid with the cool cupcakes again. Just don’t light any candles in the store.

Bouquet Tips for the Blooming Bride

By | Shana Vaughn Designs, Shop

Leave a Comment

Recently, florist Shana Vaughn appeared on Fox 4 News to discuss tips and trends for brides seeking that perfect bouquet. We liked her advice for keeping prices reasonable, keeping a consistent style, and keeping up with the trends. (Pewter and canary yellow … who knew?) And since the Briarcliff Village Bridal Show is just around the corner, we thought the timing was simply perfect.

Nell Hill’s: Make Your Bathroom an Oasis

After a long, hard day at work, for me, there is no better therapy than stepping into a steaming hot bath and letting the stress of life float away. Whether or not your bathroom is the place you go to relax and rejuvenate, make this all important space lovely and inviting. Here’s how.

Make Practical Stuff Look Pretty


From shampoo to mouthwash to bath salts, we all have lots of toiletries to work around when we decorate our bathrooms. Instead of hiding them away in a cabinet, why not create displays that make your toiletries so beautiful, they look like something from a decorating magazine?
