BLOOM into Confidence and transform your mindset during Cities and Oceans Spring Confidence GLOW UP — a self-love workshop designed by the local body positive and award-winning boutique.
Launching during the pandemic, the boutique sells online and features their apparel in collaborative photo sets with local businesses on social media and offers in person shopping appointments in their studio space. The boutique also offers an empowering open invite for anyone interested in modelling to reach out and participate – because everyone is authentically beautiful!
On Saturday, May 3, 2025, join Cities and Oceans at the Holiday Inn Express (Conference Room) for their third Confidence GLOW UP from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. and step into spring with a renewed sense of confidence as well as an appreciation for your mind and body.
Led by boutique owner and certified educator Connie Carello, this seminar offers the perfect opportunity to make time for yourself and ignite self-love. Through a signature blend of inspiring guidance, practical tools, and affirmation coaching, Connie helps attendees cultivate confidence, and foster a positive self-image.
The afternoon is filled with inspirational exercises including both group and individual activities that will leave you feeling empowered and connected to your true self. The session aims to silence your inner critic and celebrate your “authentic beauty.”
“People are so hard on themselves. Life is too short for that kind of negativity,” Connie shares.
"When we love ourselves, we naturally take better care of ourselves — physically, mentally, and emotionally. The Confidence GLOW UP is all about shifting your mindset from limiting beliefs to an awareness of your inherent worth. When we become kinder to ourselves, we create a ripple effect that can shape a more compassionate space for everyone.”
The GLOW UP also includes a professional portrait session with CC Photography, Cities and Oceans’ sister photo studio, offering attendees a lasting reminder of their self-love journey. Signature designs from the 'authentically, Beautiful' comfort apparel collection designed by Cities and Oceans will also be available for purchase.
