The author made the toast with one of the night's signature cocktails, fittingly called Honey Bee, which was served with the mother-daughter's American whisky brand SirDavis.
She concluded: "So, this is a toast to you guys and as I said, I love you all and I thank you all. [I'm] just feeling gratitude for what you've contributed to Cécred, and I hope that you're using the products. We're so proud of our styling products that are really amazing. A lot of love, time and years went into making those safe products. So anyway, without further ado, God bless you guys."

Tina is an expert at hairstyling, being that she has decades of experience from opening her salon called Headlines in the 1990s, where she served generations of women, and she also created the visionary looks behind Destiny's Child.
