Power of Breath Luncheon 2019

Last Friday we attended and participated in the Power of Breath Fashion Luncheon. It was such a fun event and we were so glad we were able to give a small part of us to such an amazing cause.

There is so much prep and planning for this special event, so when we saw it finally brought to life we were so impressed! The ladies of Findlay Rowe and Melissa (the powerhouse behind the Lung Force) definitely know how to put on a great party.

Aside from gracious hosts, the words they shared along with other guest speakers were powerful, touching, and inspiring. We left feeling like we had made 100 new best friends, and completely in awe being surrounded by such powerful and strong women.

Here's a quick little recap of the event. We already can't wait until next year!

When you first arrived to the event you could have your picture taken, do a little shopping, and take part in the auction. We were all about the shopping and the auction. Especially when we saw this...

A wine wall! 

There was a ton of great pop-up shops set up from local boutiques and businesses. From sunglasses to purses to jewelry galore! 

We might have left with an item or two. 

Because we were guests of Findlay Rowe we were able to mix and mingle a little bit and take in a small part of the speakers before we had to go upstairs to get ready for the fashion show. 

Team Findlay Rowe! We're all dressed and ready to walk the catwalk!We love supporting one of our favorite boutiques and these sweet ladies.

We also both ended up purchasing and taking home our runway outfits because they were gorgeous! 

We've haven't seen the professional photos from the event yet, so just imagine what Gisele Bündchen looks like walking down the runway. Then take it down about five notches, and you have the Magnolia Mamas Super Models. 

After we walked, we were able to sit and eat a delicious lunch and listen to a few more speakers and the 2019 Honoree Deborah Spector. It was interesting to hear her speak as a lung cancer survivor and what life is like now for her. 

Shortly after, the event wrapped up, we officially retired from our super model careers, and we walked back into our mom lives a little more grateful.

You're Invited: Power of Breath Fashion Show & Luncheon

Today we want to chat with you about a fun little event coming up in addition to a cause that is near and dear to our hearts. We've said it before and we'll say it over and over and over again - this blog has given us the opportunity to meet some fabulous women. We've gotten to take part in some amazing things, been introduced to neat experiences, and on occasion we are sent a cute pair of shoes. But nothing compares to the relationships that we have formed. 

A few weeks ago we met up with this gorgeous lady. Melissa is the Executive Director for The American Lung Association in Georgia. We were introduced to her almost a year ago by our friends at Findlay Rowe. We are so passionate about what Melissa does, and the work that her team does for our community. 

Now we have something fun planned with Melissa that we'll chat about that in a sec, but first we want to get a little real. It was until our discussions with Melissa over the last few months that we realized how grossly misinformed we were about lung cancer. 

The statistics that she shared were shocking! Even more so when we learned that lung cancer is diagnosed at a higher rate here in Georgia - especially among women. In fact, nationally the number of women diagnosed with lung cancer has increased 94% in the last 39 years. 

Even more shocking was to learn that most individuals diagnosed with lung cancer have never even smoked before! 

WHAT?!  

We were so naive, and thought one lead to another. We now realize how little education is actually out there about lung cancer, and its causes. 

It spoke to our hearts to learn that every few minutes there are individuals out there receiving their diagnosis and asking themselves, "How? Why?!".  Women like us. Like you. 

We wanted to do something - anything - to help. So when Barbara, Audrey, and Melissa asked us to be part of their Power of Breath Fashion Show & Luncheon we were honored. 

And we want you to join us!!
