MMTS - Everything You Need To Know!

Hey Everyone!!

As you know, we've been doing a MMTS Series on our blog for the past couple weeks to let you all know who will be at our tradeshow!  Since this it's the day before this event, I figured, why not talk about EVERYONE who will be there and also give you all a better idea of what to expect =)

Before talking about the event itself, I think it's necessary for you all to know WHY we (Terrence - the founder and CEO of Gospel Unplugged and myself) decided to have such an event.

Gospel Unplugged is typically known for working with Christian Indie Artists and in the beginning of the company's journey, this was our main focus.  However, as time went on, God began to expand this focus to Christian lifestyle.  The idea was very new and we brainstormed to find a way to really provide a platform for anyone who is a Christian and is unplugging the gospel in a huge way - not just in the music industry.  And then, this blog was birthed! This became a forum to talk about things that Christians are doing and also to discuss things that we all encounter on a regular basis - the music we listen to, the places we go to eat, the clothes we wear, etc.. 

Now, recently, we decided that we wanted to host an event that speaks to everything that our blog represents, and we came up with this trade show idea!!

The purpose of this event is to expose and show support to KINGDOM BUSINESSES! We understand that where we invest/spend our money mirrors what we value, so why not sew money into entrepreneurs who are enhanching the Kingdom and unplugging the gosple in different ways?

With ALL OF THAT being said, we encourage you all to stop in at the trade show THIS SATURDAY, 4/28.  Doors open at 5pm and the event ends at 9pm.  We'll have TEN vendors!! THAT'S RIGHT! TEN!! You'll have LOTS to choose from so be sure to come ready to shop! Toward the latter part of the night, we'll have performances by Matt T., Dave TV in HD, and Melissa Dawn and the entire event will be hosted by Marcus Aaron Pass of TRU Praise. 

FOOD

We made sure to only have ONE food vendor at this event because her food is JUST THAT GOOD! She's an amazing person, inside and out, and we really wanted to make sure that you all got to know her at this event!





 For those who aren't familiar with Kim Walker then you NEED to be at the event so that you can taste some of the BEST          brownies IN THE WORLD! I kid you not, her brownies are DEEELICIOUS, but it doesn't stop there.  Kim is a chef and EVERYTHING she puts her hands to in the kitchen, comes out tasting AMAZING!

                                              JEWELRY

Now, for those of you who don't know, since I cut my hair (just about 2 months ago), I've become a JEWELRY JUNKIE! lol - I just LOVE LOVE LOVE jewelry so I'm REALLY excited for you all to see all the goodies that these companies have to offer! PS: Ladies will have a field day, Fellas - Mother's Day is around the corner...I'm just saying lol =)

Seeking Zion Creative Consults - This necklace was the FIRST piece of jewelry that I wore after I cut my hair! (I literally cut my hair the same day as I took this photo!) and it's a peice that I've grown to LOOOVE!

What I love about this company is their exclusivity! Their peices are SO unique and they always have new, fun, and creative peices!

C'est La Vie Boutique is your one-stop shopping experience for all of your fashion accessory needs. They carry exclusive chic jewelry, handbags, scarves, hats and sunglasses for any, and every, occasion.  I can NOT wait to browse through all of their products!

Now, I have yet to meet the lovely Dencia, owner and creator of D-Lightfully Sweet N Crafty, but I have spoke to her quite a number of times and have looked through her facebook company page, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE her peices.  Most of them fit perfectly with the color-blocking trend that's big this spring (and that I personally love! lol), just like the earrings to the left.  Her company primarily focuses on earrings BUT they just released their first necklace! I don't know about you, but I definitely plan on stopping by her booth at the trade show!



B. Nichole! There is really SO much that I can say about her.  She is an amazing person and she is a GO HARD for her passion and I truly admire her for that.  She just recently started her company, and it's been booming from the beginning! She hand makes all sorts of various necklaces, bracelets, and anklets.  She uses beads, glass stones, and other materials to create her peices.  The ones to the right are one of my favorite that I have from her.  Their called "infinity bracelets" and I wear them SOOO often! They go with anything and are SOO cute!

CLOTHING

So, clothing is something that we deal with every day! What to wear to go to work, school, church, out to hang out with friend - EVERY WHERE and EVERY DAY! lol.  So, whey not clothe yourself with shirts and other items that come from those who are serving the Kingdom! Aracely of "let go let God" and Al from "Freedom by Al" both have LOTS of different t-shirt styles to choose from and both of their clothing is can be worn by both men and women!

HAIR PRODUCTS

This lovely young lady, Kensha Clarke, is first and foremost, a woman of God! I admire her vigor for Christ so much! God has definitely anointed her with healing hands which is why she decided to created her own HAIR SALON! In addition, she has a line of products called, "Touch of Healing" that have GREAT reviews! I've heard testimonies from people who were having issues with their hair growing and after seeing her a couple of times and using her home made all natural hair products, they saw tremendous results!

MINI CONCERT

 As I mentioned above, Gospel Unplugged started off as a company that focused on Christian Indie artists SO, we couldn't have an event as big as this one, without allowing you all to be blessed by some AMAZINGLY talented young Christian artists who are doing their thing for Christ!

As many may know, in February, we had an event entitled "The Love Experience" where we gathered some artists and they sang love songs and tied it in to what love means to them.  It was an awesome event and since love is something that can be shared ALL YEAR ROUND, and since a lot of the artists present were such a big hit, we decided to give you all a mini encore!

We'll be having Dave TV in HD doing a medley of songs all arounding the hit "Is This Love" by Bob Marley.  We'll also have Matt T. who will be gracing us with his beautiful voice doing a new rendention of "Love" by Musiq Soulchild.  And lastly we'll have Melissa Dawn doing old and new original songs.  If you are not familiar with these artists, then please be sure to come through and get to know them!

Last but not least, we are EXCITED to inform you all that our Mix & Mingle Trade Show will be hosted by Marcus Aaron Pass of T.R.U Praise and YES, he will be selling hard copies of their newly released album, "Journey"!  If you haven't heard this album yet, then you are in for a TREAT!! I have been listening to it, the entire album, all 12 songs, AT LEAST once a day since it was released on Tuesday, 4/24! It is SO uplifting and it's filled with GREAT music.

Now, those of you who did not plan on coming to this event, or were on the fence about it, make the decision to come! You'll have NOTHING to lose! You get ALL OF THIS for ONLY $5! You're definitely in for a treat and when you come, make sure to tap me and say hey! I look forward to seeing you ALL there!!

PS: Invite a friend too! =)
