https://sites.google.com/view/beautifulevent/schedule
I have been long thinking about an event combing all my favorite topics on perfumery, beauty care and adornments.
And it is happening this December, Friday the 4th to Sunday the 6th, 2020.
This is a virtual event (Zoom platform), and free for all to attend. No preregistration is required, we only ask the participants to obey the rules of mutual respect (no bullying, harassment or obscene behavior will be tolerated).

We are also planning a social room open throughout the event for less formal conversation, a break between classes and meeting new people who share similar interests.
There will be also discussion panels dedicated to the following issues:
• Round table discussion about historical cosmetics and modern racial sensitivity
• Centering persona development around activities related to beauty care and fragrances
• Round table for beginning cosmetic crafters (more guided) and another for more experienced (more about problem solving/sharing discoveries).
To avoid any infringement on copyrights, the classes and other activities will not be recorded during the event and/or uploaded into public domain.
