Welcome to our Newsletter!
Hello Savvy, Sexy, & Social Ladies,
It's March!
Before we know it, Spring will be here!!!
By the way!
Happy International Women's Day!
Celebrating all the fierce, ambitious, and confident women around the world...Especially you!
It’s women’s day, and it's time not only to teach the male to be encouraging to help women come out of their shell, but as women, we should be equally responsible for all that a woman has to face, learning to respect our fellow women and encourage one another in whatever dream they have for themselves.
The more we show and use the strength of our courage the more it will get beautified!!
Let's gather the strength, to shatter those who play with rest.
Highlight of the month -
Want to share yours too??
My Highlight: My sister had a baby!
My baby brother visited from Brazil too!
I wrote a letter to my nephew, check it out...
Dear Nephew Davi,
You're here! You finally made it. Welcome to our crazy and loving family.
I promise, you will never be bored.
I'm your aunt, which means I'm super fun and you can always come to me if you need anything. I'm here to play with you when you're bored and cheer you up when you are sad. I can love you more than anything in the world, and protect you almost as well as mommy and daddy can.
You're only a few hours old right now, so you have no idea what is in store for you. A life of love, laughter, and happiness is what your future holds nephew.

How to be different in business to make a difference.
Everyone has competition. How can you be different to separate yourself and your business from the competition? We spend so much money on marketing and sales training seminars to come up with ways to beat the competition. Do we ever stop and realize that the competition is doing the same thing? We lose the fact that people do business with people they like and trust. The way to beat the competition is right in front of us and we can't see it. These monthly seminars of interactive sessions will help you gain knowledge of the key factors that can make a difference for you and your business compared to your competition.

Well, you've found the right place TO BE!
Welcome to our Newsletter!
Hello Savvy, Sexy, & Social Ladies,
It's February Already?!
Babe, it was cooooooold outside! Aren't you dreaming of summer? I AM. The month of January is already over! I have been going 1,000 miles an hour and getting as much as I can done from my first quarter goals - accomplishing my New Year's resolutions and items on my vision board.
How about you? What are you up to?
Oh! Guess what?! The Calendar on SSS has been updated! Janina and I have been working diligently on scheduling events for the whole year, we have events until December planned. Please take out your phone and mark your calendar, so you don't miss out on the fun!! Let's make it a GREAT year & HAVE FUN!!
Highlight of the month -
Want to share yours too??
I have to confess that even though I have been laser focused on all the things that matter, I came across a few challenges already, but bring it on! I am a big girl and I have thick skin. I believe everything happens for a reason. We can change our outlook in life for the better. Looking for lessons in our experiences, we can become happier.
“Things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself.” — Walter Anderson
It’s time to do some “Housekeeping”
Ladies, every now and again we have to dust things off. We have 150+ members in the club and we are growing fast. We all need to keep a level of respect for each other and in all areas of life. Since we are growing fast, I decided it's time to implement a Values & Policy code of conduct for the SSS Club. Please take a look here... If you want to provide any feedback or suggest any other values we should add, please let me know. We are sticking with the mission to encourage and inspire one another and we can create that environment by keeping a higher level of respect for each other.
Urgent Hiring
Savvy, Sexy, & Social Women’s Club - we have an immediate need for a Marketing and Sales professional, to help with the growth of the club, obtaining sponsorship, and advertising.
Looking for someone who wants to make extra money, work on their own terms, if you know anyone who might be interested please forward this job to them. The schedule is flexible. Commission-based.
Ready to start now.

You are invited to join me for a fun evening at my home to celebrate Valentine's Part I. This is a LADIES ONLY event and no men will be allowed.

CHEERS TO 2019!!! GREAT WAY TO KICK OFF THE NEW YEAR!!!
Welcome to our Newsletter!
Hello Savvy, Sexy, & Social Ladies,
Happy New Year! 2019!
This is the fourth blank page of your 365 page book, let’s make this year our best year ever!
What comes to mind when we think of the New Year? Resolutions of course, we always hear the saying, “New Year, new ME,” more times than we can ever count. Let’s choose faith over fear, love over hate, stop comparing ourselves to others, and BE THE CHANGE. Investing in your own personal growth, discovering the joy to learn something new, and become more comfortable being uncomfortable. Invest in your community, be a member and participant, take care of people and people will take care of you. Relationships matter, find where your heart is, and what feels true to you. Let’s create a world where we are allowed to be anything we want. Not judging others by appearance and keeping the past in the past. Dream big, be the boss of your life, new is the year, new are the hopes, new are the spirits, new are my wishes just for you, have a promising and fulfilling new year.
Highlight of my last three weeks!
Want to share yours too??
I have to confess that December is a very busy time of the year for me and I work a lot but finally after the 21st, I was able to relax, recharge my batteries, and get my home ready to enjoy the holidays. The highlight for me was spending quality time with family and friends. For the first time, I really focused on the true meaning of the season, instead of running to the mall and being overwhelmed with shopping. I felt that we already have everything and we don't need much more. We are so blessed! And of course I can't forget to mention my visit at The White House it was surreal and a magical moment that I’ll remember forever...God bless my friend Susan Young for giving me this amazing gift 🎁
Only in America can someone start with nothing and achieve the American Dream. That's the greatness of this country.
13 years ago, I moved to this country 🇺🇸 looking for The American Dream.
From the moment my stilettos 👠 👠touched the ground on April 16th 2005, I was impassioned with a love and honor for this wonderful nation. The American Dream carried me like a loving protective force, keeping me focused and humble all the way, and I’m a very proud American. God is faithful,
God Bless America!

TOP STORIES
Ethics & Fashion in Politics
“If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself." – Henry Ford
God is faithful!
The Ethics & Fashion in Politics at the Capitol Hill was an amazing event and also such a great opportunity to make new connections and reconnecting with old friends.

A huge thank you to everyone who made the event a success!

DAY TRIP TO NEW YORK
Our Girls’ Day Trip to NY was so much fun. It was 8 of us all together. Despite getting up really early, I was able to catch-up on sleep during the bus ride. We arrived at noon, just in time for our lunch reservation at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square. It was a very convenient spot, only 5 minutes from where the Reston Limousine bus dropped us off. We hit Times Square, Fifth Ave, and Rockefeller Center. It was amazing to see how beautiful and crowded NY is for the holidays. We all enjoyed our time together. It was the perfect amount of time for a quick visit and come back!
Fletcher's The Great Gatsby NYE Ball
Okay, so how can I start this?? THE BEST, PARTY, EVER! Not kidding.
As you all know, we entertain a lot, this is the 4th year hosted a New Year's Eve Party at our home. But this one, for some reason, was the most Extraordinary, everything just came together like a puzzle. The group of people, the theme, food, music, and we danced all night until 4am. We didn't even see the time go by. The pictures speak for themselves. Nothing else needs to be said.

Topic: Living a Life With a Purpose
Some people measure success by the wealth they’ve accumulated, the power they’ve attained, or the status they’ve achieved. Yet, even though they’ve reached success beyond their wildest dreams, they still have an empty feeling — something is missing from their life. In order to fill that void and be completely fulfilled in life, their soul may be searching for something more.
Although everyone is different, there are common threads that bind a life with purpose.
If you’d like to find out more, please watch the video, here.
Thank you again Janina, for being my assistant, a good friend and helping me get my Port-English out on the newsletter :)
Again, please check out our upcoming events and update your calendar to fully take advantage of being in this SSS Women's Club...

BE YOU, DO YOU, and STAY TRUE
Do you like to be around Savvy, Sexy & Social Women? Women that are successful, passionate, positive, inspiring, and have a vibrant and fun personality? Do you want to expand your social circle? Or, do you need an escape, somewhere to laugh and get to meet new people?
Well, you've found the right place TO BE!
Welcome to our Newsletter!
Hello Savvy, Sexy, & Social Ladies,
I can’t believe December is here, 2019 is just around the corner. I don’t know about you, but I always find myself deep in thought during this time. First of all, because I think it is the most wonderful time of the year, we have the celebration, and recognizing the true meaning of the Holidays; we are hanging out with family, friends, and decorating our homes. I also realize, it is a very difficult time for a lot of people out there, especially for those who lost a loved one, people with financial struggles, or health issues who can’t celebrate the same way. I think that it is a time to be more sensitive, look around us, and be appreciative of what we have or what we don’t have. Sometimes a little gesture matters or goes a long way, be generous, be kind. On another note, it’s also the time when we go back and reflect on the things we’ve done right in the year and the things we haven’t done right, and then set goals for what we want to accomplish for 2019. Remember, life is made of choices, have you made your choices for the upcoming year yet? If not, what are you waiting for?
Highlight of my last two weeks! Want to share yours too??
The really big highlight I am so excited to share with you, is The District’s Holiday Boat Parade, after winning one of the awards last year, we came in with tempered expectations. But then WT??? We WON again, third place in show out of 58 boats so we are very proud and happy. Can’t wait for next year!
Sending Love to Paradise
First of all, I would like to take a moment to thank you all for your generosity and your donations. A special thank you Scarlett for being there and the other ladies that plan to help! At this point, we are in desperate need of volunteers to help box and sort all the donations that we have received. Please remember that our time is the most valuable thing we can give. So please step up and help us to box and sort all the donations.
I was helping at the warehouse boxing and sorting the donations and working on the newsletter at the same time, Janina came all the way out to Gaithersburg so we worked on the newsletter and get it out to you.
Please ladies, I know we all have busy schedules but we can make time to volunteer.
I would kindly ask for you to let us know in advance if you plan on coming.
Where: 16021 Industrial Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20877 @ Bay 12 (back side garage door)

Let Yourself Fly Becoming The Butterfly
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27- DECEMBER 11, 2018
SUBMISSIONS ARE DUE BY MIDNIGHT DEC. 11TH
Sign-up at the link below
It’s Thanksgiving and the perfect time to count the many blessings in our lives. Forward this to someone you know that could use a makeover.
As you all know, I look to empower, encourage, and support other women. With this goal in mind, I am holding an annual makeover opportunity to inspire other women to become the butterfly they truly are. Transformation sometimes comes from the inside; however sometimes it starts from the outside.
When we decide to love ourselves by wearing nice clothes, doing our hair, make-up, getting our nails done and taking good care of our body, we can make ourselves feel better and we can encourage our own inner transformation.
If you are reading this and know anyone, including yourself, that is less privileged, and needs a makeover, please let them know!

TOP STORIES
Eat, Drink, & Be Thankful
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends. No matter where we stand in our lives, I am sure we are always going to find something to be thankful for.
Of course I had an amazing time celebrating Thanksgiving with family and friends, there were 18 of us and a great time had by all.
BLACK FRIDAY SUPER SALE
If you didn’t make it, you missed out, I know everybody had a food coma after eating turkey, there were a lot of ladies that showed up and took advantage of our sale. If you missed it, too bad so sad.
WOMEN & WISDOM
What a great event, thank you Meryl with Savvy Business Network, and Eva Scott with Integrity Financial Solutions. We had a panel with myself and two other amazing speakers, there were 4 tables filled with women, about 40 women came. This was all about lessons as a business owner, learning, being a business owner, what it takes to be successful and how do we define success. Here's a video Janina took during the talk.
If you missed it, stay tuned. Our next one is in January.
The District's Holiday Boat Parade Party
There were 18 of us total and some of the ladies came with their hubbies. We had fun. After finding out we won in third place, we had one more reason to celebrate and be happy!
SIR SUNDAY AT SAX
I really enjoyed my time with Martina and Claudia. Sometimes it's hard for me to have one on one time with you all. Since we didn’t have a large group, we really had this personal time together and I had great quality time with them. However, as I was there for the second time, this time I really felt that I didn’t belong there. It wasn’t the right place for me. Although, I think it's fine for single ladies. Please don’t take offense to this, but as a Godly married woman I just felt like it wasn’t appropriate for me. Even though I didn't do anything wrong, I just felt in my heart that I had to pray extra this week. BTW, when I went 2 years ago, I didn’t feel the same way I thought it was ok, but please understand I am not judging anyone. We are always growing and changing. I have to be real here and I have to be honest, I can’t lie to you all.
DECEMBER BIRTHDAYS
Sending you all birthday wishes, with many smiles, laughter and joy for the upcoming year!
Since I’m not winterizing the boat, it'll nice, warm and cozy, maybe we can get together for drinks on my boat at the Marina.

Hello Savvy, Sexy, & Social Ladies,
Highlight of my Last Two Weeks! Want to share yours too?!
My Husband and I celebrated 11 years since we first met....It’s hard to believe, it feels like just yesterday we were meeting at Tímpanos an Italian Restaurant in Rockville Pike after exchanging only one email and one phone call. That evening Scott asked me, “Where do you see yourself in 10 years?” Well I can tell you that 11 years ago I would have never guessed this. I’m trying to come up with something else meaningful to say about everything that happened and I can’t. I really wanted to write something about the ups and downs, the good times and the not so good times, and how these times have affected our lives making us better and stronger. Maybe it’s just too hard to sum up 11 years of memories in a couple paragraphs. I’m at a loss for words. All I can say for sure is that we are lucky to have found each other.
Sending Love to Paradise
Let's show our love and support for one of our ladies. Janet Flower's son, “James, lived in the quaint town of Paradise California. Along came the Camp Fire on Thursday November 8th. His area of town was the first to be decimated. No house, no clothes, no furniture, no trailers, no cars and no motorcycles. The sad part is he was unable to get Dream, Blu and Harley his three dogs out of his home. At this point there is no news about the dogs. We are all hoping for a miracle as they are his baby girls and he loves them very much. Everything in the rented house is gone including any sentimental items from his deceased father. This is a very sad and shocking time, especially since he basically had the clothes on his back and a cell phone to his name.
Let's all help him get his feet back on the ground.
James is and has always been a very giving person, often helping people he barely knew. Asking for help is very difficult for him since he is a giver. Let's show James some well deserved love!
He and our family are forever thankful for any help you could provide.
Thank You from the bottom of our hearts!
This photo is what is left of his house.” - Janet

Hello Savvy, Sexy, & Social Ladies,
Fall is here!
Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall. Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree. Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale. I hope I can be the autumn leaf 🍁 who looked at the sky and lived. And when was time to leave, gracefully it knew that life was a gift.
I hope you are out and about enjoying the beauty that surrounds us.
The Holidays are just around the corner, and it is the time of the year when we get very busy with family and friends. Also wrapping up the year with finishing all the tasks we've had on our vision board so we can start a new one. Yes! If you do not have a vision board, I highly encourage you to create one, because if we fail to plan we plan to fail. Make a list, write things down, everything you want to accomplish in 2019. To make it easier for you, divide into different categories: relationship, financial, entertaining, travel. Have it in a place you can see everyday. Visualizing what we want to achieve can make it happen. The vision board works as a motivator for us to achieve what we want in 2019. So get busy ladies!
Highlight of my Last Two Weeks! Want to share yours too?!
As you all know I was very busy in October hosting my parents, and I went to Brazil for my cousin's wedding. My Parents left already, but the memories we created will last forever. I miss them so much, but I realize family is just like the branches of a tree, we may grow in different directions, yet our roots remain as one, and I can't wait to have them back.
It’s time to do some “Housekeeping”
Let’s dust it off ladies!!!
A little birdie mentioned, "people are offended by the talk of religion and politics. You have many different religions in the SSS group and I have heard talk. People want to see the savvy part of SSS." Someone sent this to me. What I have to say about this comment is we are all different, and that's the beauty about life. Can you imagine how boring it would be if we were all the same and think the same? We must learn to agree to disagree.
I encourage you to speak up, and to participate more. Start by reading the newsletter, reading the blog, reaching out to each other. The group is about us. Participate and interact in our closed group on Facebook. I encourage you to not spread gossip and exercise not talking about others. Be kind to each other. Again…Don’t be shy ladies…
…I am still wondering if you have anything exciting you want to share that’s happening in your life. Or something that matters to you, something so BIG that you can’t keep it to yourself, or really anything you feel like sharing. Let’s continue to build our community by encouraging and inspiring each other. You never know when your story can encourage, support and empower others… Let’s make a difference.
Please send it to us and we will be happy to put it here in the newsletter the following week!

Topic: How can we strengthen the bonds within our family.
My inspiration for this topic comes from the time I've spent with my family over the past month. In today's world, our schedules are filled with so much, and life can get really busy. It can be challenging to find quality family time and increase bonding. I'm not only talking about with the spouse or kids, but our extended family, like cousins, nieces, and nephews, uncles, aunts, parents, grandparents. If you'd like to learn more please watch!
SIP, SHOP, SOCIALIZE + Meet my Parents!
We had over 40 people stopping by to meet my parents. There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship. I would like to thank you, all my friends that took time out of their busy life to stop by our Sip, Shop, Socialize and Meet my Parents event. I feel beyond blessed to have you all in my life and my parents are so happy to meet you all.
SHOUT OUT
To Sally-Anne Andrew, for organizing and bringing together the Great Falls Friends and Neighbors ladies, to meet my parents before going back to Brazil. My parents are so overwhelmed with all the love and kindness. You made them feel very special. Please know your love and kindness are very appreciated, I feel blessed to have you all in my life.
Girls Day on the Water!
As you all know, I did not celebrate Halloween this year. So I decided instead to do a Girls Day on the Water since the weather was beautiful and sunny. It was only 4 of us but a great time was had by all. We still have one more month before we winterize the boat, so let's cross our fingers and hope we have a few more days of nice weather.
We have a new member ladies!
Ellen Jonhson
I've known Ellen for many years through Great Falls Friends and Neighbors Women's Club. For business reason's she can't have her picture on social media but I hope you all are able to meet her in person and connect.

I went to Brazil to pick up my parents, as I stated in our last newsletter. They are spending two weeks with us, so we have been out and about. I’ve been showing them around, this is such a special moment for me to have them visit. Two weeks are going by way too fast. They are so happy and impressed with the life and the friends that I have been able to build in this country over the past 13 years. They are going back next week, but they hope to meet you on Sunday before they leave!!

So, I've decided to go ahead and have a less formal gathering here in my home instead. Also, I know Gold cup is just around the corner and if you are looking for a beautiful dress to impress, KBC is the right place to find it!

Topic: Breakdown comes before Breakthrough
My inspiration for the topic this week, comes from a recent experience I had coming back from Brazil. Sometimes things are going perfect until something happens, and we don’t understand. In these times we must hold tight in our faith, because God has made a promise for us. So therefore the name, breakdown comes before breakthrough became my topic. The message is to hold in our victory even when we don’t see it. There are times when we are going to face the storms, but we will be given strength in our faith and confirmation God is in control. It is also about being sensitive enough to recognize our many blessings, it’s not about luck, but acts of God.
Please understand, I respect your faith, but I can only think and speak about the things I believe. If you want to learn more please watch the video.
“Our struggles and tears will NEVER be wasted but will be transformed into a healing balm after our victory. No matter what trials or tribulations you are dealing at this moment, please be sure to know you’ve won already. Hold on just a little while longer. Everything will be alright. We serve a God whose Name is FAITHFUL.” ~ Keula Binelly

Highlight of my Week! Want to share yours too?!?
I attended this amazing event, The Fillmore Silver Spring Fall Open House, even though I spent 2 1/2 hours to get there driving because of the rain, it was well worth it, and I give thanks to my friend Melanie Soley Lacher (The Fillmore event coordinator) for inviting me. I got to see and catch up with some peeps from my catering industry, but the most exciting part was it felt like a Savvy, Sexy & Social event. I got to hang out with 3 of our ladies, you know how much fun it is when we get together! One of our ladies, Janet Flowers, sponsored the event; I’m sure some of you know she is one of the top florist and event designers in the DMV. She made these beautiful custom masks during the event. She invited other ladies from the club and it was exciting to see them. Denise Lynn was there helping Janet. How awesome! That is what our club is about, we meet, have fun, help/support, and do business with each other. Dana Lutz was there with her beautiful daughter, who’s getting married early next year, how exciting! Dana is looking to have Janet help with her daughter’s wedding. Congratulations Dana! I am sure everything is going to be fabulous! See pics from the event below.
Before I forget! I finally launched our Keula Binelly Couture Website. Janina and I have been working so hard to upload some of the photoshoot pics of you beautiful ladies and it looks awesome. We are very proud, make sure to check it out, and happy shopping!!
Don’t be shy ladies!!…

Keula Binelly Couture/ Sip, Shop & Socialize update/ Photoshoot #5 Pics
Last Wednesday, The Sip, Shop, & Socialize + photoshoot was another hit! Ladies, we just keep having more and more fun, it was a smaller group with some new faces and the usual beautiful faces!

I have been very busy, please forgive me for not releasing all of the photos, but trust me, they are well worth the wait!!! I will be going to Brazil Saturday, to bring my Mom and my Step-Father back, I have the opportunity to bring new clothes for the Fall/Winter Collection. Keep a look out for the sexy new styles!!!

"It brings me so much joy to see women coming out of their shell and realizing how beautiful they are."
~ Keula Binelly
Since I am returning from Brazil and my Mom will be here, I am stilling deciding if we are having one next Wednesday. Stay tuned for another evening of fun, friends, fashion, and foolishness while listening to music, nibbling on hors d'oeuvres and sipping Prosecco.
Here are some amazing pics from photoshoot #5! BIG thank you to the amazing photographer of the night Keri Gaudreau!
Women Who Dance:
Girls, we had a BLAST!
You have no idea how much I needed to go out dancing with you ladies. It started out to be about 7 and then it was 13 of us. Reggie Bell showed up (one of the best photographers)! That night was worth more than a $1,000 in therapy. The Burlesque show was amazing, and there was an aerialist performer. Don’t forget to check the Calendar on the website we will be back there for Sir Sunday…
Women Who Love God: BIBLE STUDY
We had to reschedule our Bible Study this week.
We are looking forward to the next one! Please if you’d like to volunteer to host Bible Study in your home, let us know!
Let’s Keep it Real.
Topic: The importance of Validation: I’ve spoken about a similar topic before. The most important validation should come from ourselves, but it feels nice when people acknowledge us and appreciate our efforts, and the same works the other way. Recently, my husband sent me 10 reasons why he loves me, he helped me remember when life gets busy, we sometimes forget to validate others. When we think about our kids, friends, co-workers, sometimes sending them appreciation will lift them up — you never know what kind of day they are having. It can always be about the small things that we appreciate. That day, he really put a smile on my face and he really lifted my spirit up. Do you want to know the 10 reasons?! Please check it out.
Last Week’s Topic: Watch What Happens When I Get “Mad,” what I mean by that is being uncomfortable and getting out of my comfort zone sometimes inspires my best work. I like to think the best gifts are not wrapped in beautiful tissue paper, but sometimes they come in sand paper. When I have to roll up my sleeves and work hard at something, these are the times I learn the most and it ends up being the most rewarding. If you want to see what got me mad this time… check out the video!
UPCOMING EVENTS

I know what you’re thinking! Are there two Yulia’s?? That’s her twin-sister Jane who’s visiting from Russia.
Marsee hunter
I am Marci Hunter the Owner of Styled For You a personal styling/wardrobe consultant boutique servicing the VA/DC area. I was introduced to Keula through a mutual client-to-friend, who thought we would have shared interests, and she was right! I have known Keula a little over 2 and a 1/2 years now. She has become a colleague and a friend. It is great to find a group that doesn't find my over zealous fashion nature to be over the top. This is a group of fun, supportive, and fancy women that only Keula Binelly could cultivate.
Not enough thank you to Janina, for being my assistant, a good friend and helping me get my Port-English out on the newsletter :)
