			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1388" href="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/?attachment_id=1388"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1388" title="Untitled1" src="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/Untitled1.png" alt="" width="160" height="200" /></a>We had the opportunity to visit Essence MedSpa &amp; Wellness Center and  learn about one of their most popular treatments, needling! It sounds  exactly as it it, rolling needles on your face!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s known as micro-needling, derma-rolling, or the very-technical-sounding Percutaneous Collagen Induction (PCI).  Don’t let all the names confuse you, the results are always the same!  Needling is performed to rejuvenate facial skin and really look young, we need a perfect epidermis, good hydration, normal color and normal resilience.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The main reasons that someone would have needling performed are:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">•    Restore skins elasticity<br />
•    Fine lines and wrinkles<br />
•    Acne scarring/other scars<br />
•    Works in synergy with other procedures for optimal results<br />
•    Stretch marks</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This state of the art treatment uses a small handheld rolling device called a derma roller <a rel="attachment wp-att-1393" href="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/?attachment_id=1393"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1393" title="Picture 1" src="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/Picture-13-300x280.png" alt="" width="300" height="280" /></a>which provides clear channels for topical gels and creams to be absorbed more effectively and helps vitamins penetrate through the top layer of the skin.  Skin becomes thicker, with greater than 400% increase in collagen and significantly more elastic helping you rejuvenate your skin. Effective for all skin types, even those with darker pigmented skin, and able to do on any part of the body.  Skin also does not become sun sensitive and healing phase is short.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Is it Painful? Some patients describe the treatment as being only &#8220;mildly uncomfortable&#8221;. In addition, we apply a topical anesthetic before each treatment. (We&#8217;ve done it and with the topical numbing cream it&#8217;s a breeze!) Needling is safe, cost effective and simple, AND it produces dramatic results immediately!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We&#8217;ve done this 3x times so far (once a month) and we have seen the improvements in our skin, it glows! When you see us out we have Essence MedSpa &amp; Wellness center to thank for it!!!! We personally recommend this is a life changing experience and we swear by it!!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can book a free consultation today and find out if needling is right for you! Make sure you share Cece &amp; Melinda recommended you call!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1362" href="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/?attachment_id=1362"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1362" title="Picture 1" src="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/Picture-12-187x300.png" alt="" width="187" height="300" /></a>If you missed Chicago Gourmet 2012 this year in Millennium Park and/or have never been make sure not to miss this outdoor annual phenomenon next year (September 27-29, 2013).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Chicago Gourmet is an annual celebration of food and wine showcasing more than 100 of Chicago&#8217;s finest restaurants and chefs, as well as hundreds of renowned vintners, spirit makers and premium breweries from around the world.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dozens of live cooking demonstrations, expert seminars, gourmet tastings, and book signings are offered.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The best part of the event is getting to taste such a large variety of wines and spirits that you have have never had the opportunity to try and the staff at each table are friendly and happy to share about the product lines!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1352" href="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/?attachment_id=1352"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1352 alignright" title="Picture 3" src="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/Picture-32-179x300.png" alt="" width="179" height="300" /></a>Absolut and Patron had the best branded exhibits and the tastiest cocktails! (How do I order a Chicago Gourmetini year round?)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We saw our favorite mixologist and Vice President of Nightlife for Menin Hotels (Drumbar) @BenjaminNewby serving up cocktails &#8211; what a line for his creations!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Cece&#8217;s favorite dish was the delicious steak with mashed potatoes from  Texas de Brazil, I loved the Red Kuri Soup (maple roasted squash, lime  honey, garam masala) from Lockwood, the restaurant in the Palmer House.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1350" href="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/?attachment_id=1350"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1350 alignleft" title="Picture 2" src="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/Picture-24-175x300.png" alt="" width="175" height="300" /></a>Props to Target, they had a really nice display with a wine glass chandelier! All their tastes they were offering came with menus so that you could go home and make them yourself and they were giving away bags of pasta! We had a great time visiting with them!</p>
<p>The  highlight of the day was having one more glass of Moët &amp; Chandon  Champagne and tripping (correction: Cece tripping) on the platform area  reaching to have her glass filled and then announcing as loud as  possible, &#8216;I&#8217;M NOT DRUNK!&#8217;</p>
<p>We  really enjoyed trying new wines and spirits throughout the afternoon  including the Zignum Agave from Mexico and recommend it to anyone who  enjoys expanding their palates!</p>
<p>See you there next year! Don&#8217;t forget to mark your calendars now!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1324" href="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/?attachment_id=1324"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1324" title="youngPhoto" src="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/youngPhoto-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>In February,  I was informed of the opportunity to win a scholarship to attend the NABA Fashion Accessories Design Workshop in Milan, Italy.   The competition consisted of my choosing of which USA Olympic Team inspired me the most.  After studying the different USA Olympic Teams, the women’s swim team is what caught my interest immediately.  I started with sketches, then different types of gems, adornments, an array of materials, and finally the creation of the three.  My finished product was two swim suits accessorized with jewelry overlays, fashionable swim head wraps including goggles all of which bring out the essence of the Olympic Swimmer.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1325" href="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/?attachment_id=1325"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1325" title="Willow" src="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/Willow-203x300.jpg" alt="" width="203" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To my surprise, I won, I won, wow, I said to myself, “I am going to Italy to study this is a dream come true”. It was an amazing feeling and still is.  The scholarship covered my studies for the advanced summer workshop however it does not cover travel, room and board, and other various expenses.  Now I needed to get creative. How am I to raise money to go to Italy July 21st through August 5th 2012.   I recruited a couple of friends who are also students at Columbia and put together a video informing all of my friends and supporters on Facebook about my endeavor and my need.  So far I have received some support but it’s not enough.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">After having a good laugh about 3 of the funniest misconceptions we&#8217;ve heard about ourselves we had to create a post and also wanted to include others around Chicago that wanted to share with us  as it seems everybody has misconceptions!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Our personal funniest misconceptions:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-899" href="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/?attachment_id=899"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-899" title="US4marketing" src="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/US4marketing-150x138.png" alt="" width="150" height="138" /></a><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>1. Being asked if we are lesbians.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While we absolutely support the gay community and have so many friends of this nature we ourselves are not lesbians.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-901" href="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/?attachment_id=901"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-901" title="Small_USPS_Truck" src="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/Small_USPS_Truck1-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" /></a><strong>2. If we met while working at a post-office.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Not sure where this came from. While we support all women with working jobs to provide for their families we met in 2006 in &#8216;Corporate America&#8217; when working together for a leading international testing, inspection, certification and technological services company servicing 14 sectors on 5 continents in over 40 countries. We started our company with no investors, no capital, no sugar daddies, just ourselves! We are minority business women owned and proud of it and are down-to-earth aside from the hair, makeup and heels! We have also been asked frequently what else we do or if this is our only job. We work full time for our own company and do not hold any other jobs. We work around the clock on our signature events and projects for clients, there&#8217;s no time for anything else!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-902" href="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/?attachment_id=902"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-902" title="Peru" src="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/Peru-150x100.gif" alt="" width="150" height="100" /></a><strong>3. Cece&#8217;s native country being Brazil or Colombia.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Most of the time people know Cece is from South America but are not sure of the specific country. While Cece loves the food, music and culture from Brazil and Colombia she is from Peru and is 100% Peruvian!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-979" href="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/?attachment_id=979"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-979" title="Picture 2" src="http://raymiproductions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/Picture-23-148x150.png" alt="" width="148" height="150" /></a>Lastly, we&#8217;ve often been labeled as &#8216;good cop&#8217;/'bad cop&#8217; with the Ying Yang dynamic of Melinda offering a more well mannered approach and Cece using her &#8216;Fiery Latina&#8217; approach. This one is for the most part true. Although we really prefer being an addition to the &#8216;fire department&#8217; than the &#8216;police force&#8217; &#8211; Cece creates the fires and Melinda puts them out! lol Our opposite dynamic helps us to successfully run our business.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To learn more about us make sure you follow us on twitter <a href="http://www.twitter.com/cecemelinda">@cecemelinda</a>, friend us on Facebook at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Ceceandmelinda">Cece &amp; Melinda with Raymi Productions</a> plus sign up to receive our emails from <a href="http://www.ceceandmelinda.com">www.ceceandmelinda.com</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">AND we are not the only ones..</p>
<p>Below take a minute to read more outrageous misconceptions from many  other Chicagoans! We hope to set the record straight from funny things  that that have been said or heard that have no merit or truth!</p>

People think my home décor is modern but when they visit, they find that  it’s very traditional filled with antiques and sentimental  objects&#8230;..I’m a huge romanticist and can’t throw anything away that’s  been touched by someone I love.</p>

My misconception is that people think I am just the &#8220;on-air&#8221; talent of 24/7 when in actuality, I own / operate and executive produce 24/7 as well.  (did I mention I am a wife, mother, and a terrible cook!)</p>

All I do for a living is go to parties. Truth: I actually work in our studio from about 8am till 5pm daily- plus I do numerous national TV hits as well as work red carpets in the evenings and on weekends. My job is truly 24-7 and I love it.</p>

That I don&#8217;t like to get my hands dirty. Just because you are wearing 6 inch heels doesn&#8217;t mean that you aren&#8217;t on the floor packing boxes and doing whatever it takes in the day to ensure your company is running smoothly. Photo by eBay.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">A  common misconception about me is since I work for a Top 40 station this  must mean I listen to everything that we play!  Don&#8217;t get me wrong I dig  the music that we play but I&#8217;m a BIG supporter of anything local in  Chicago on the come up.  I also LOVE me some great hip hop that isn&#8217;t  exactly mainstream.  Look out for artists such as the OH-MY&#8217;s, Chance  the Rapper, and Kids These Days all our of Chicago.  On a broader scale I  dig Macklemore, Mac Miller, and Machine Gun Kelly to name a few.  Don&#8217;t  get me wrong I still rock out to my Carly Ray Jepsen, Justin Bieber,  and Taylor Swift!

“I tend to live by the adage that whatever you think of me is really none of my business. That being said, the biggest misconception I get is when people find me on Twitter, where I&#8217;m listed as Mr. Marcus Riley. No, I&#8217;m not THAT Mr. Marcus. That was my previous profession.”</p>

I am often mistaken for an intern in our office when I am really the Publisher. This is not because I look young, but rather than I am always schlepping magazine and lending a helping hand at events. It is kind of nice though.</p>

Everyone thinks that doing PR/Events is so glamorous, but us professionals just really make it look that way.  There is so much behind the scenes &#8220;nitty gritty&#8221; prep work, but when it is showtime, it is showtime!  Just recently at the NRA show, a client and I  were setting up for a cooking demo that took them hours to prepare, miles to transport and we had to be meticulous in our set-up.  Of course it went without a hitch, and we got to enjoy a cocktail afterwards.

<p style="text-align: justify;">People think I like fundraising because i work for a non-profit. SOOOOOO not true! That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m the Chief Mission Officer, because I love spreading the word and finding people with cancer, meeting survivors, visiting  people with cancer in the hospital and giving pump-ups, and connecting the dots and interacting with the people we serve! But I don&#8217;t like asking anyone for  ANYTHING. Fundraising is my LEAST favorite of all, and so I&#8217;ve never asked  anyone directly for $1 for anything including IA. but we have fundraising consultants who handle it for us so we can afford 5 full-time employees and do our word, but I make SURE it&#8217;s done zero-pressure and very tactfully, as I believe giving should always be:)</p>

Misconception is that I am married to my business partner.  It&#8217;s confusing in the gay world to introduce people as your &#8220;partner&#8221; when you are business partners but not life partners.  Many times I have received mail to &#8220;Mr. and Mr. (Insert last Name of my business partner).&#8221;  Hopefully with the President&#8217;s support of Gay Marriage, that won&#8217;t have to be an issue in the future.</p>

<strong>News Anchor Telemundo Chicago</strong><br />
The biggest misconception about me is the origin of my name. The right spelling is Tsi-tsi-ki and people think its Greek name because of the sauce Tzatziki, or Chinese because of the pronunciation, but it&#8217;s actually ethnic Mexican from the purepechas in Michoacán south of Mexico where I&#8217;m from. It&#8217;s from the dialect &#8220;tarasco&#8221; and it means &#8216;flower&#8217;.  You can imagine how many variations of my name appear in my credit report!</p>

That I am party girl who goes out all the time and have always been the popular girl. Yes, I do enjoy throwing parties and certainly enjoy being social and outgoing. I can also be the life of the party. But I am also shy and very spiritual.  I really enjoy hanging out with small groups of friends or with people on a one on one basis. Needless to say, I am actually somewhat of a nerd and enjoy staying home on the weekends to watch the History Channel (anything with quantum physics) and like quiet dinners with friends. Because I wasn&#8217;t always popular growing up, I think that&#8217;s helped me relate to people more as an adult and has actually helped me become more likable now. My upcoming book &#8220;Life Is Your Party&#8221; will really combine both my social and spiritual identities.</p>

A misconception of me is that I am super outgoing. I am actually shy and reserved. I actually work a little harder than people think to be outgoing. I am naturally a loner and keep to myself. One day I decided to say HI to everyone and that helped me get out of my shell.</p>

People assume that I&#8217;m social since I own a networking business and am  out fairly often.  I&#8217;m actually very shy and avoid situations where I  won&#8217;t know anyone.  I typically make a point of introducing myself to 2 &#8211;  3 people whenever I&#8217;m out, which puts me outside of my comfort zone.   The next time you see me out, make sure to come up and introduce  yourself if I don&#8217;t get to you first!</p>

Most of my women clients think that I am actually writing about them in my novels or critiquing their hair when I see them out and about at social functions. Not so True! I would *never* write anything, even &#8220;cleverly veiled,&#8221; that might be found out; and when I&#8217;m out of the salon I don&#8217;t even think about hair.</p>

The most often repeated misconception about me is in regards to whom I am dating. It appears there is a group of ladies, which I fondly refer to as the &#8220;mean girls&#8221; aka opportunistic socialite wannabes that don&#8217;t even really know me, but appear to be absolutely intrigued with my social life. It seems that if I attend an event with a male friend or colleague, it could literally set off a chain of emails, phone calls and discussions about whom I am (or am not) dating. I actually find this incredibly amusing that people have so much free time or that they care about my dating life so much they feel the need to discuss it, even though it is clearly none of their business. Trust me, there is not really much to discuss! I think Coco Chanel said it best &#8220;I don&#8217;t care what you think about me. I don&#8217;t think about you at all.&#8221;</p>

That all those in my industry do is go to parties and plan events. 99% of my time is spent meeting with clients, at my desk working on campaign strategy and marketing initiatives, and account management. 90% of the time I end up eating alone at my desk because I&#8217;m so busy, but I love every minute of it!</p>

Most people assume I&#8217;m American because I have no discernible accent other than an American one.  I was born in Ethiopia of Australian parents, and raised in both Ethiopia and Australia. When we came to the US, it wasn&#8217;t to immigrate but for my father to obtain his Ph.D, which he did.  He received two great job offers, my sisters and I were in high school, and it was important to our parents that we go to university. We stayed in the US.  Back then, I wanted to blend and really practiced to sound &#8220;American.&#8221; The follies of youth &#8211; I wish I still had my Australian accent.</p>

Most people think my sister, Kerry, and I are identical twins. Actually we&#8217;re fraternal twins (when two different eggs are fertilized by two different sperm). People also ask us &#8220;who&#8217;s older?&#8221; Technically we&#8217;re the same age, since we were conceived at the same time. However, since I was delivered first, I&#8217;m &#8220;older&#8221; &#8211; which makes Kerry very happy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">We&#8217;re so excited for the 1st Annual Violet Tie Ball! The event will be held on Friday, June 15th at Bentley Gold Coast Motors at 834 N Rush St.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This event fundraiser is important because today&#8217;s kids are tomorrows leaders!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The mission of the Violet Tie Ball is to raise money for the PREMIER3 STEM Foundation &#8211; an independent 501c3 organization dedicated to improving the participation and performance of young people across America to excel in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Recently President Obama has launched an &#8220;Educate to Innovate&#8221; campaign to improve the participation and performance of America&#8217;s students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This campaign will include efforts not only from the Federal Government but also from leading companies, foundations, non-profits, and science and engineering societies to work with young people across America to excel in science and math.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Chicago has many great schools, teachers and students. The Foundation benefits teachers and students by giving to organizations that are dedicated to aiding and improving programs geared toward:</p>
<ul>
<li> Increasing the wonder about invention and discovery</li>
<li> Building support for teachers</li>
<li> Supporting national STEM design competitions to develop game options to engage kids in scientific inquiry and challenging designs</li>
<li> Building labs in public schools that are dedicated to the most cutting edge science, technology, and engineering programs and more!</li>
</ul>

<p style="text-align: justify;">By attending the event not only will you enjoy the fashion, the music,  the cocktails and the appetizers but you will be helping and  contributing to reach millions of students and inspiring our next  generation of inventors and innovators.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This year&#8217;s theme is &#8216;Avant-Garde&#8217; which will truly be a spectacular  event to include VIP lounges, a unique fashion show, an island vacation  drawing, premium wine and beer stations, &#8216;liquid art&#8217; cocktails, hors  d&#8217;oeuvres, private art showings all in an innovative, dynamic and modern  setting.</p>
