Women’s Day Self-Love Giveaway: Samantha’s Stunning Bridal Boudoir

Every year, Women’s Day reminds us of the strength, beauty, and resilience women bring to the world. To celebrate this spirit, I partnered with an incredible group of women-owned businesses here in the Central Valley to create a special Self-Love Giveaway for one lucky winner. Together, we curated an experience designed to pamper, uplift, and empower—and this year’s winner, Samantha, couldn’t have been a more perfect recipient.

Samantha, a bride-to-be, was preparing for her wedding just a few months away. Her win aligned perfectly with the opportunity to create something truly special: a styled bridal boudoir photoshoot that celebrated not only her upcoming wedding but her self-love journey.


A Day of Pampering with Local Talents

This dream day wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing collaboration of local women-owned businesses, each adding their unique touch to make Samantha’s experience unforgettable:

Florals: The gorgeous floral arrangements, crafted by Strelitzia Florals, added a romantic and ethereal touch to the shoot.

Makeup: Samantha’s bridal glow was brought to life by JQ Glam, whose expertise created a look that was equal parts soft and radiant.

Tanning: The flawless, sun-kissed look came courtesy of Bonita Spray Tan, ensuring Samantha felt confident and camera-ready.

Lingerie: A stunning lingerie set from The Pink Door completed the look, blending elegance and sensuality.

Treats & Beauty Goodies: Samantha was also treated to delicious goodies from Conchita's Bakery and Drea’s Kitchen, and beauty services provided by Opulent Beauty and Strong Living by Julia, rounding out her day of indulgence.
