Last month, we hosted moms and moms-to-be at our second annual “Mom’s Night Out: Barre Crawl” at Lolë and The Barre Code Metro Detroit in Rochester Hills. Everyone in attendance walked away with swag bags filled to the brim {see more about what our readers took home below}, an appreciation for Lolë’s Spring Collection, and a sweaty barre class. But… what we enjoyed most was getting to interact with our readers and see the connections that were made from another DMB event!
The evening kicked off with shopping, snacks, conversation, and raffles. Lolë Rochester owner, Christina Gaskins, welcomed readers to the store and gave them a brief background on her business {she owns three stores in + around Detroit: Rochester, Royal Oak & Ann Arbor!} and what they could expect from Lolë products and the brand itself. Also in attendance was our event sponsor and co-owner of Live Well Chiropractic, Dr. Meaghan Cromer, to chat about the benefits of chiropractic care and provided chair massages which were enjoyed by many! If you’re in the market for an adjustment {psst! everyone can benefit from chiropractic care!}, Live Well has offices in Rochester and Royal Oak, making their footprint in Metro Detroit rather accessible.
After the Tropical Smoothie beverages had been sipped, the moms headed next door to The Barre Code for a 50-minute strength training class with their Birmingham Studio Manager & Instructor, Lynnette, who was 34 weeks pregnant at the event. During class, readers challenged both their mind and body through exercises focusing on their upper body, core {with modifications made for pregnant attendees}, thighs and “seat.” While some walked out saying it was one of the toughest workouts they had completed, they also mentioned feeling strong and empowered as they laced back up their shoes.
Before the evening commenced and the champagne cork had been popped, we were able to grab a group photo, courtesy of DMB Executive Team member Emma Burcusel Photography. Special thanks to Emma for capturing the event highlights.
