Upcoming Events

  • Happy Hair Hour
    Wednesday December 2, 7-9pm, Kelowna
    Moms, please join us for drinks, snacks, and hair/body care talk.
    Our first Happy Hair Hour will be a Products Show and Tell.
    Please bring your favourite hair and body care products to show to other moms, and $5 to throw into the kitty for our group’s new hair mannequin. We’ll relax and talk about products that work for our kids, where to find them and/or how to make them.

    Want to come? Email okanaganfca@gmail.com
    Please RSVP by Sun Nov. 29.
    Wine, non-alcoholic beverages and some wee snacks provided.
    Please leave your kidlets at home.
    Next time… a braiding workshop with the new mannequin.
