While researching the different services we wanted to provide at Pampered Petite Children’s Salon and Spa we decided to expand the party planning services as an entity of it’s own. Inspired by Sweet 16, Posh Tots, and NYC Prep, we decided to offer affordable event planning services for children with equivalent class, style, and exclusivity offered to adults. You don’t have to be Super Rich to have a Super Party. TalkingWithTami: Has it been rewarding for you? The reward is great! We live by a quote we first heard from Oprah, “Find your passion and allow yourself to get paid for doing what you love”. Each of us have a passion for party planning. We adore children and the look of excitement and joy found on a child’s face during a party is gratifying. Also, as parents and aunts we recognize how stressful party planning can become, especially for the working class parent who doesn’t have time to count RSVP’s. We wanted to offer a service that would be beneficial to both parent and child. TalkingWithTami: Of all the parties you do,which was a fav and why? Carmen: My favorite party is the Pampered Petite Signature Spa Party. Little girls dressed in Terri Robes, wearing face masques making lotions or getting manicures. We try to incorporate Etiquette lessons into our craft projects or activities, grooming little girls into little ladies. Who wouldn’t love that? Katisha: My favorite party is the Pampered Petite Baby Shower Party. Being a mother of three myself , it is my pleasure to make another mother feel special and worry free for the day offering homemade cakes, handmade chocolate covered pretzels, marshmallows, and signature games, I enjoy making another mother feel as special as I did bringing life into this world. Its a great give back! TalkingWithTami: Before you started this co, what was your career in the past,and why the transition? I once read that most Entrepreneurs start multiple businesses. Needless to say Pampered Petite is one of many businesses for all the planners. Carmen has an online Television show called Urban Runway TV and a boutique PR agency called Girl Six Media. Katisha is a former Medical Administrator and assist with a family business. Ariane is a Celebrity Make-Up artist and Principal of Pretty Girl Inc, Natashia is a host for Urban Runway TV and assist with her family business. TalkingWithTami: Who would be someone that you would love to do a party for and why? We’d love to plan a party for Sasha and Malia Obama at the White House. We’d love to honor the first “African American” Fist Family and show our gratitude and appreciation for their strength and victory. www.pamperedpetiteonline.com
