Amazing Face Painting by Linda

During the pandemic Amazing Face Painting by Linda switched from traditional face painting to airbrush with no turning back! It’s a cleaner, safer, and faster way to face paint. Linda fell in love with the waterproof nature of airbrush and how it wasn’t melting off by the end of the party. She decided not to go back to regular face paint, but to invest in this superior product instead! It will wash off with soap when you want the faces cleaned!

It’s a bonding experience you’ll love every year.”

“The candle-making class at The Candle Garden is amazing! During the class you not only get to make your very own special candles (yes, you get to make two!!) but also learn about candle history and care, making is fun AND educational. I love this class so much, I’ve been three times with different groups of people and they all rave about their experiences and candles to this day. Jordan is an awesome teacher with great energy and is so helpful when it comes to mixing the perfect scents together. Also, the shop is an incredible setting for a fun night out!

Chantel Beidleman
Born and raised in the Aloha state and a traveling gypsy at heart, Chantel left the nest fresh out of high school and headed off for college in sunny Southern California. Almost a decade later she met and fell madly in love with her hubby who whisked her off to the great Midwest. After five brutal winters in Nebraska, Chantel realized that home will always be where the ocean is (and the snow isn’t), so off to Jacksonville they went, where this Hawaiian girl now spends her days as a stay-at-home wrangler to her two baby bears. Prior to becoming a household CEO, she joyfully spent her time as the Program Assistant Director of a preschool. Digging deep into wellness and health is her jam alongside spontaneous dance parties with her kiddos are what sing to her soul. Chantel is wildly passionate about advocating for her son, who lives with multiple severe food allergies. You can find her out and about on a daily basis as she is a self-proclaimed busy body and loves hitting up the beach or exploring new spots in town while homeschooling her kiddos. If you ever see this fast-paced mama on the go, be sure to say hi because she is always up for meeting new people and making new friends!

  1. I’m a stickler when it comes to parties ( i have to plan every. single. detail ) – But I recently visited Sweet Pete’s and I must say it is truly a hidden gem of Jax! Our baby girl will be turning 5 in December and a Tutus and Tootsies will look amazing in Sweet Pete’s venue (: !!

  2. I’m looking for birthday ideas for my soon to be 9 year old son. I Love the idea of Flight Adventure Park but the link here says it starts at $300. Is there a $50 discount if we say that we selected their company based on the review here?

  3. Actually, I see the above comment was made in 2018 so I’m sure the price has increased. Going to try it anyway! I love the recommendations from JM!
