| Pleasantville business among winners of 'million-dollar business ...
For the second year in a row, a Westchester businesswoman is among the winners in the "Make Mine a $Million Business" competition, held last weekend in Atlanta. Sharon Brown, owner of Pleasantville-based Selona (www.selonabeauty.com), a line of skin-care products sold at high-end spas, resorts and boutiques worldwide, was among eight winners in the latest round of the competition, in which business owners present their business plans to judges. Brown, whose business is just 2 years old, said she expects Selona to cross the million-dollar threshold in late 2008. The Hartsdale resident said her business has benefited from unique circumstances that have helped promote her line, not the least of which was being included in gift bags given to attendees of the 2006 Grammy Awards.
