Interested in puchasing Chocolate Boutique and/or Heart Spa.

There is no way I can convince the powers that be to spend the money to purchase one of the kits plus the additional things we will need. I would like to purchase a used kit, buy the additonal items (I will pay for all this), and once they see it in action I think I can sell them on it.

Please email me if you have either of these kits to sell.

I can help you as you cast the vision to other women and leadership!  I have had phenomenal experiences with both HeartSpa and Chocolate Boutique, and I'd love to share stories  and ideas with you.  I am travelling right now, but if you email me and let me know what your vision for the retreat is and what questions you have, I'm sure I can help!!!

I bought the C.B. kit myself and we had our first meeting last night.

We made invitations using pink card stock. We backed it with pink/brown scrapbook paper. On the left side we printed the invitation. On the right side we attached a small bag with 3 Hershey's kisses inside. Punched holes in the paper and through the bag and tied a pink bow on the top through the paper and candy bag and made a bow.

I have divided the kit into 3 monthly meetings. We did a lot of changing and modifying, but we had a great time. We used brown and light pink for decor. Brown tablecloths, pink plates, napkins we found that say "so much chocolate, so little time," Pink pillar candles - we cut a strip of pink/brown scrapbook paper to put around the candle, Pinka nd brown gift bags with matching tissue for centerpieces.

Had a chocolate fountain and everything imaginable to dip in it. Everyone had great time, laughed and cried,  and left so excited, talking about who they were going to invite for next months meeting.  I also had ladies offer to pay for the supplies we will need for upcoming nights (Psalms candy molds/boxes, and prayer devotion boxes).

I love the idea of spreading the experience over several weeks/months...what a great way to consistently connect with women and build relationships

We have a lot of new ladies as well as some we are trying to get to visit our church. This seemed a great way to start building relationships with them. I had something else planned, but just kept feeling we should do C.B.  Someone blessed me 2 weeks ago and I used that to purchase C.B. 

Thankfully I had done a lot of research, so was able to pull it together quickly. Next month will be easier because I will have more prep time (although the ladies said they could not imagine how it could be any better).

I am not sure if this is where to ask this, but we are going to be in Colorado Springs in July. does Group have a store or outlet? Do they give tours?
