Mmm crepes…

Glow-getter? We thought so
Due to popular demand, we’ve added more beauty experiences to 9 to Thrive this year. You’ll find the Glamazon goddesses doing hair and makeup touchups (and handing out gift cards), along with makeup brand, NYX who are doing complimentary makeovers and giving away prizes too.
Styling sessions
We know you’re a stylish bunch, but if you feel like you’re stuck in a fashion rut or could do with some advice on what to wear to a job interview or date night, head to Simone Perele’s stand to book your complimentary mini-styling session.
Cricket Australia lounge
Meet cricketing superstars, nibble on snacks, and sit on comfy couches all while you watch the live feed from the main stage. Hot tip: seats at the main stage are hot property at 9 to Thrive, so a spot in Cricket Australia‘s lounge is the next best thing!
Check 1-2
Can’t remember the last time you exercised? Or didn’t reach for a sugar hit at 3pm? Us too. Get Healthy at Work will be conducting free health assessments with professionals on standby who can answer all your lifestyle questions. And if you’re skin’s feeling a little lacklustre, head to Elizabeth Arden’s pop-up to check the moisture levels of your skin, get some advice on getting your glow back and pick up free samples too.
Win an Invisalign treatment
Our friends at Invisalign are giving away a free teeth-straightening treatment valued at thousands of dollars (we wish we could enter!). To be in the running, head along to their stand to scan your teeth and chat with their experts.
