Luckily, there are smart number crunchers available who take that hassle and headache off our hands, and Access E-File is one of them. This firm, devoted to small business professionals, covers tax planning, tax preparation and does free electronic filing (the mode that state and federal government agencies are pushing more Americans to use). Don't wait until the last minute and be in one of those news stories about crowded postal offices. Call Access E-File at 301-622-5400, and get your paperwork sorted out today.

The Pink Event™ Vendor Spotlight: Jaha Hair Studio

Jaha Hair Studio doesn't just talk the talk when it comes to natural and nurturing hair products (primarily for the African-American community). The stylists walked the walk by offering The Pink Event™ 2012 attendees a chance to receive twists, locs and other services. Based in Silver Spring, Jaha Hair Studio prides itself on natural hair-care services for men, women and children.

In fact, the studio set up the Jaha Natural Hair Academy to teach the techniques needed to keep natural hair clean and styled on a daily basis. "The workshops do not eliminate the need for professional care on a regular basis," Jaha's website says, "but it empowers customers to take care of their hair in its natural state and maintain its beauty between visits to the salon.

At the Pink Event, Jaha Hair Studio also featured boutique fashion jewelry and accessories that were perfect for any lady looking to style up her image. Learn more about this Pink Event 2012 vendor here.

The Pink Event™ Charities Give a Face to Domestic Violence and Breast Cancer

When you first hear Krisine Olaes speak, you believe that she's simply an advocate for change and is passionate about bettering the lives of women. But there's more than that.

Amazing Inspiration

Jennifer Lucy Tyler is asking the crowd what issues they have had in her life. She’s had a lot to overcome. “Sometimes when your kids are tripping out, make sure your speaking life to your children. My mother literally spoke me into existence as a woman of God.” An amazing speaker at The Pink Event™ 2012.

The Pink Event™ Speakers Rule!

We have a bustling crowd in the speaker section of The Pink Event™ 2012. Yolanda Woodlee kicked off the event with her inspiring tale for overcoming breast cancer. Now, Vanessa Elam is giving great fashion tips and mental shortcuts for a more tranquil life.
