Beauty, Bliss and Breakthrough Friday

La Tonia Taylor, life coach and member of Iyanla Vanzant’s “Iyanla Fix my Life” coaching team, and beauty expert Karen Flaggs are hosting “Beauty, Bliss and Breakthrough – The Glam and Grown Edition” tomorrow, Aug. 30, starting at 5 p.m.

The event, held at 1108 Washington St., caters to women in the community and allows them to express their beauty. It will “get the juices flowing only the way women do before we turn a few corners,” according to the event Facebook page, with “conversation, games and grown woman beauty tools to follow your bliss.”

“We’re calling it a happy hour with a purpose,” said Taylor. “This event is celebrating beauty from the inside and out, which is why we’re calling it ‘Beauty, Bliss and Breakthrough.’ Karen specializes in beauty, and I specialize in breakthrough.”

The hosts boast that the event is a pre-reunion event for their annual “The Grown, Sassy and Glamorous” night that displays female talent in the Vicksburg community and will feature both Taylor and Flaggs as special guests to share their views on beauty and breakthrough.

“I will be sharing a lot of different pieces of my book, ‘My Juicy Rebirth,’ that I wrote in the beginning of the year,” said Taylor. “It’s my story of how I got to bliss from my breakthroughs, and Karen is going to be sharing why she thought it was necessary to host this in Vicksburg.

“She is coming from a perspective of beauty and speaking on how women cover up a lot of pain and hiding a lot of their desires to do certain things.”

“We’re hoping that this will be like a miniature empowering event until we can get to a larger workshop,” said Taylor.
