It Was Fun. Now What?

Ohhhhhhhhhhh my! I can't believe the weekend is over! Don't get me wrong, it was a fun and interesting couple of days but I'm exhausted. Like dead tired. More then that, it turned out I had to work this morning and that's just not cool. It was a wedding weekend and I was the wedding decorator/planner/designer. I love doing wedding - they are draining and tiring but so rewarding. To see the bride's face when she sees the reception hall and her flowers is just priceless (unless of course she doesn't like it; then we
re in trouble). Really, it's a very rewarding business emotionally and that's why I do it.
There was a lot of excitement and, of course, stress. Accordingly, today is my stress-free day where I'm going to walk around the house in PJs and make myself some delicious, home-made pizza and start planning my long trip (with another wedding I am planning, decorating and designing). Again. Let the stress begin.

Living It Up

So before every summer begins, I say that I want to be active. I want to go hiking and camping, do lots of picnics in the park and visit another city. Then the summer comes and we are just hanging out in the backyard, watching action movies at night and eating lemon ice. And what's wrong with that? Honestly, I think too many people aren't living in the present and only planning on 'living'. So, I'm going to stop making plans and get to implementing 'em things . First up, picnic in the park! Hope you enjoy your weekend and live it up some!

Thankful

When there is nothing to say, when life seems gloomy, just thank God for everything you've got...

Piperlime Giveaway

One of my favorite fashion blogs is Jessica Quirk's What I Wore style blog. She's stylish and yet her style is accessible, trendy but grounded in classical pieces. Also, she's a fellow thrift store regular which makes her one of the best fashion bloggers out there. I have found inspiration for long forgotten items in my closet from her outfits and she continues to surprise. Therefore, I'm passing on the love. So, fashionistas, need some money for shopping? Who doesn't! Head over to her blog to find directions to entering a $500 giveaway from Piperlime. You can thank me later by taking me shopping. You are welcome! 

P.S. I'm still experimenting with background and layout of the blog. thanks for your patience

Be The Better (Wo)Man

It's good to do good but it certainly feels better when the one you are doing good for, appreciates it. I know that we are supposed to love our enemies but try doing it over and over again while they still don't notice the good. Then what? Well, I've decided to take the high road and kill them with kindness. Of course, it's not going to be easy and I'm probably going to want to punch them in the face couple of times. Instead, I'm going to do my best to be the better (wo)man. Let's see how long that's going to last.
