FastLane Gets a Makeover!

FastLane’s February event was beauty themed, titled Makeover Your Business with FastLane. The idea was for attendee’s to take the time to re-energize their look while simultaneously  re-energizing their business network.

FastLane is a themed networking event that connects young professionals from across the GTA. It is beneficial in numerous ways from meeting new contacts, to increasing your business network and giving access to a number of great vendors.

Held at Dermalogica’s head office on King West, this beautiful venue played host to a variety of vendors who primped and polished guests throughout the night.

The skin experts at Dermalogica had guests take it all off! Cleansing their faces, The Microzone Station took care of targeted treatments, then it was on to the Skin Bar to have a diagnosis for all those winter skin issues. Careful not to forget the gentleman, a special SHAVE station gave men insight into the world of premium shaving products.

A big hit was the Massage on Wheels/ Element oxygen collaboration premiering at Makeover Your Business. This allowed guests to take a moment to relax with a ten minute mini massage – complimented perfectly by deep breaths of pure oxygen. Talk about re-energizing!

Just Blo Me! gave attendee’s a chuckle and some sexy hair. Stylists from the recently opened Blo, Blow Dry Bar on King West,  had their flat and curling irons on full heat, providing the ladies with bouncy and beautiful curls.

Amongst the others was Anthony Parazo, of Anthony Parazo photography. Each guest was given the opportunity to pose for a professional head shot after having their makeovers. These photo’s are intended for use on online professional networking sites such as twitter, Facebook and Linkedin.

A night of good food, complimentary wine (from Oyster Bay – New Zealand’s finest!) and music set the atmosphere for great networking! Two speed networking sessions were re-introduced and were the talk of the night. It is a great way to introduce yourself and meet new contacts when coming to an event such as this one on your own. Back by popular demand, our next FastLane event will feature a Speed Networking session.

UPDATE

Campaign for Haiti, which started out with the support of one councillor candidate Rob Davis, has grown exponentially in the past week. Mayoral candidates George Smitherman, Sarah Thomson, Rocco Rossi, Rocco Ashampong, Mark State and Giorgio Mammolit, along with Councillor John Parker have all pledged to put their personal campaigns on hold to instead campaign for the people of Haiti.

This is an opportunity for all candidates and supporters to get together in a common cause to raise money for the Red Cross Relief for Haiti Fund. It has been just over a week since the devastating quake struck Haiti, with the latest estimate offered by the European Union citing 200,000 people dead and 1.5 million people rendered homeless. Many earthquake victims are still dying due to the lack of medical attention, food and basic sanitary conditions. The Canadian Federal Government has pledged $50 Million to match all funds raised by the public, meaning every dollar Campaign for Haiti raises will be doubled. Leverage your political capital and raise real capital to provide relief for the people of Haiti…There will be no speeches, no stumping, just compassion.
