Crystal Paulitzki and Nicole McMullen, owners of Nutrition for your Condition, will be taking part in the Secret Room Events Academy Awards Red Carpet Style Lounge Feb. 26 at the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. Oscar nominees and other celebrities, musicians, directors etc. will be invited to visit the lounge to get their gowns, jewelry, spa services and drop by an exclusive trade-type show featuring booths from approximately 20 different companies including Paulitzki's and McMullen's to check out their products. The women launched their company in 2009 selling travel kits for families SUNDAY, December 19, 2010 Local women heading to the Academy Awards Pair aren't up for an Oscar, but will be showcasing products to celebrities that have children with severe or life threatening allergies. They have expanded their product line, which now also includes their eco-friendly litterless lunch kits, selling them online at www.nutritionforyourcondition.com, some retailers, school fundraisers and trade shows in the GTA. Amy Boatwright, an owner of Secret Room Events, said Nutrition for Your Condition, was invited to exhibit at the Red Carpet Style Lounge after she found it on the Internet. "I was searching Google for new and different products and found that their product line was different," said Boatwright. "A lot of celebrities have children, so kids' products are very popular." Many of them are also interested in the environment. Boatwright thought the Georgetown women's products, including their litter-less lunch bag, were different and "liked their idea".
