Local mom’s group, Growing Up Gorgeous, is set to celebrate its official launch with a spectacular launch party this September.
Growing Up Gorgeous is specially designed for moms who want to escape the daily humdrum and connect with like-minded women.
A study commissioned by TVBed.com found that the average mom only gets 17 minutes of “me” time every day. And more than half of 2,000 mothers polled said that they didn’t have the time to have hobbies or pursue interests.
Growing Up Gorgeous helps mothers find a balance between their duties and “me” time with the support of a community of diverse women through the power of faith. The group consists of working moms, single moms, stay at home moms and mom-preneurs. Members engage in year round events such as spa days, photo shoots and health and wellness sessions. But it’s not just about de-stressing and interacting. Growing Up Gorgeous also caters to personal development of members and regularly hosts informative seminars.
Growing Up Gorgeous is the brainchild of Christina Acosta-Martinez.
“I began this community after the birth of my first daughter because I needed to be around other moms to form genuine and real connections. I also wanted a place where I could relax and have time to breathe, laugh and enjoy life outside of mommy duties. There is no place in south Jersey that provides that kind of experience, so I created one,” she said, when asked about her motivation to create the group.
The launch event will be held on Saturday, Sept. 10 at the Haddon Fortnightly from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Attendees will be briefed on membership and will have the opportunity to connect with other moms in the community. Coffee and cakes will be served and there will be giveaways, games, and raffle prizes. What’s more is that professional childcare will be provided onsite.
Registration for the event is currently in progress and childcare is limited. The cost is $15 per adult attendee. The first 25 moms who register for membership will be treated to a VIP Bag. Learn more about the group and register at www.growingupgorgeous.com.
