I don’t know what sounds more amazing…. a beach in Brickell or Corona Water Balloon Fight??
Poolside Yoga with Fancy Hippies!
30 MayAdmittedly, I am not a hippie. I also do not do yoga. But alas, I have some really cool readers. And I would bet a whole load of you really cool readers are hippies and/or do yoga. I mean, for heavens sake, this is Miami. However, the real question is, are you above and beyond cool that you’ve done yoga, poolside, with the founder of Fancy Hippie brand??? Probably not BUT that could change.
This Saturday, June 1st, Four Seasons Hotel Miami is hosting a poolside yoga class with Fancy Hippie founder and South Florida yoga teacher Marcie Wingate. The 75-minute class: Finding your Balance, starts at 9:00 am and combines Vinyasa yoga and Meditation for all ages and skill levels. Open to the public, the cost is $25, which includes a day pool pass for Four Seasons Hotel Miami. Pre-register at http://marciewingatepoolyoga.eventbrite.com.
Fancy Hippie is a lifestyle brand that’s goal is to focus on obtaining balance. The company was formed by a simple thought during a powerful Savasana, where good things begin. The brand promotes balance as a journey, not a destination. The balance of mind, body, spirit. A universal concept and connection.
Be SUPER COOL, fulfill your life dream, and, like, go.
It’s time to grow up. And, Jazz. It. Up.

Conrad Miami’s “Business Chic” Contest for Party at Level 25!!!
31 OctWhen we hear “Facebook Contest”, we here at BrickGals normally cringe. While it’s probably because we never win anything and are overly negatively jaded on the whole contest/raffle/auction shebang, when we heard about the Conrad Miami’s “Business Chic” Facebook Photo Contest a warm, fuzzy feeling took over. I’m tempted not to tell you about the contest because then I have a greater chance of winning a party for 25 peeps at the hotel’s Lvl 25, hors d’ouerves and open bar included. But, alas, BrickGals wants you to consider us your friend so here are the deets: snap a pic of your best biz style and submit to miamiinfo@conradhotels.com by November 16th. They’ll send you back a link to view your photo on the Conrad Miami facebook page that you can share with all your friends. The person whose pic has the most likes by November 19th, WINS! Only a couple people have entered already so send in your pic and start tallying up those likes ASAP!
More info on the contest can be found at http://www.facebook.com/ConradMiami/app_166564200066630.

Veuve Clicquot Yelloween Party at Four Seasons Miami
23 OctI don’t remember when Four Seasons Miami started to get all young and cool and hip on us but I’m pretty sure it was about a year ago when they refurbished their dining options and launched Edge Steak & Bar. Good job FS Miami, I heart you for it. Another thing I heart you for is the Veuve Clicquot Yelloween Party going on this Saturday night. It sounds like a blizast so check it out Brickellites and make sure to report back to Mama BrickGal!
