Magical Makeover

Every girl deserves the right to
feel like a princess. Nine Tampa
Bay well-deserving girls received
just that. The collaboration and
compassion of several area
companies created a Holiday
Magical Makeover on December
3rd, 2016 for nine participants
between the ages of 3-9. The
Bay area girls were nominated
and chosen via Facebook. Each
girl
received
complimentary
makeovers included hair styling,
makeup, and manicure, followed
by the donning of a princess
costume, new shoes, a runway
walk, presents, and a glamour
photo shoot.

Two years ago, friends Alicia Henry
and Lindsey Meyer came up with
an idea to give back. Alicia is the
owner of Jazzy Jewels, a local
beauty and hair salon catering to
Kids (ages 2-12), Teens (13-17)
and adults. Lindsey is the owner
of Meyer Inspired Photography, an
on-location photography company
specializing in family portraits,
events,
corporate
images,
and most recent, The District
Magazine's photographer. With
the compassion for giving back,
Lindsey and Alicia put their giving
hearts and businesses together
to create The Holiday Magical
Makeover.

Congratulations to Riley age
7, Samaya age 9, Paola age 8,
LoriMarie age 5, Salani age 4,
Tianna age 3, Sienna Age 8, Zaina
age 8, and Gia age 6 for being
chosen to participate in the 2016
Holiday Magical Makeover.

With the idea of using the expertise
of both companies, the Magical
Makeover became a reality. The
powerhouse Tampa-based ad
agency, MCA Russell Johns made
the package complete by donating
gifts for every girl.

The three companies joined
forces to provide the group of
young ladies a day to feel like
princesses. With the generosity of
a several other Tampa businesses,
it made the 2016 Holiday Magical
Makeover even more remarkable.
Janna Cantero with Pineywoods
Realty LLC provided new shoes to
every girl, and Hannah’s ShoeBox
donated gifts. Mini Doughnut
Factory
generously
supplied
Tampa's yummiest donuts, and
Mashed Media Group donated the
space to feature the article in The
District Magazine.
