On Thursday, August 30th, the Know Better Live Better Social Impact Campaign hosted its first Mom’s Night Out to encourage self-care and healthier family living. An initiative of the Emory Children’s Environmental Health Center, Know Better Live Better (KBLB) gathered moms and moms-to-be at farm-to-skin spa iwi Fresh for an evening of pampering and conversation.
Guests enjoyed a family-friendly, interactive evening that included making custom skin masks at iwi’s DIY mask bar, healthy eats prepared by Chef Nikki of Nikki Can Cook, and cocktails courtesy of organic spirit brand Bomade Vodka. The evening was rounded out with a conversation centered on everyday environmental exposures that may be contributors to health issues commonly found in American American communities. Moms had a fantastic time learning about ways that can small changes can make a big difference in their homes and the lives of their loved ones.
