Pecha Kucha at Shakabrah.... How Fun Is That to Say?!? Oh yeah... and We Still Have MVPS Available!!

Congratulations to Trish on a fantastic Pecha Kucha presentation. A day in the life of this woman is truly unmatchable!! She wears many hats which most likely coordinate with a multitude of outfits and a variety of shoe choices.

After the bulk of our staff enjoyed the Pecha Kucha experience and made sure to cheer embarrassingly loud, we made our way over to Asado for a dinner filled with good eats and good laughs. It's been some time since we've had a chance to get together outside of the walls of the big purple building and though some of us were missing, it was a much needed night of relaxation and work fam togetherness.

Thanks to Shakabra for hosting this round of Pecha Kucha and thanks to Asado for providing us with tasty treats for our impromptu night of fun!!

We Now Do Ears and Noses... Well Kinda...

About a month ago, long time client Kate Pascal approached us with the idea of making a tiny section of our salon a place where she could practice the art of body pierceing. After our team mulled over it for a bit we decided to give this new venture a try. So far, Kate has disproved our worries of having "ouch" and "OMG!!" coming from her corner and she's sparked the interest of some of our clients and friends of hers to get the piercing they want without having to go to a place they may not necessarily feel comfortable. Tattoo shops and piercing stands in the mall don't appeal to all that want a cute nose stud or a second hole in their ear. With an offering of above the collar piercings and a smile like an angel, who wouldn't want to get a peircing done by this fantastic lady?!? Trish and Eleanor have!! So has an entire group of girls and ladies alike that were in this weekend for a peircing party!! Contact us for more info if you're interested.

Tempest Lounge

After a long day sometimes all you want to do is sit, enjoy a good meal, sip on your favorite cocktail and maybe hang out with friends. Any given night at Tempest is a good night to do so. With a name like Tempest you may be shocked to walk through the doors and find a relaxing and easy flowing atmosphere, a place where "You enjoy intimate conversations with good friends, warm lighting, exquisetly prepared morsels of dining delight, and a cocktail.... The way cocktails used to be prepared for those cocktail parties of years gone by.".

A few of your favorite Daymakers moseyed on into the lounge last Thursday and enjoyed fantastic live music all while gobbling down some of their to die for menu items. We bathed in the melodious sounds of Julian Moon as well as enjoyed some of the cookies that people all over Tacoma are talking about. If you're looking for a nice place to chill and enjoy an evening, Tempest is a good place to start.

Joe Zehnder

He is a man of wit and knowledge and a riot to have in the chair. With his MVP Men's Package card in tow, Joe Zehnder makes the ritualistic trek from his office at McGavick Graves to "come get Embellish-ed" as he is always so proud to boast. He's a client who always has a hilarious story to tell but is also able to flip the switch and give sound advice when needed. It's hard not to light up when Joe walks through the door as he always puts a smile on everyone's face whether he's walking through the doors with a giant chocolate bar and a bottle of wine or greeting us with a "Hey ladies, how's it hangin'!!". No one's expression of excitement was more vibrant when we told him about Dude Day on June 15th. He assured us that he's going to make some calls and get some of his buddies out for beers and hot dogs on what we hope is a fine Washington June day. We're excited to meet his friends and appreciative of the fact that he loves introducing new people to us at Embellish. Thanks Joe for being fantastically you!!
