Oh, 2016!!! If I could hug you and kiss you, I would! You were a b*tch to many but you were good to me. It wasn’t exactly flawless but I will go so far as to say that this has been one of my best years yet. Grateful is an understatement. It is now 2017, but …
Wedding coordinators, I have great respect for you. When I planned my own wedding last year, I had a taste of what it would be like to be in your shoes. I thought, “It can’t be that hard!” since I also work in the wedding and events industry. Let’s just say that in the middle …
Yesterday, February 29, I finally celebrated my birthday on the ACTUAL date that I was born. I finally turned 8 years old! (Well, at least 8 in leap years, and 32 in “normal” years. I prefer 8. It makes me seem younger). (The photo above is of me on my last few hours as a …

I’ve always liked being a “slashie.” I like being able to say that I am a marketing professional / writer / blogger / emcee / singer / teacher / homemaker, even though I do not practice these professions all at the exact same time. Somehow, more slashes always made me feel more accomplished. The more …
After I graduated in 2006, I immediately started to look for a job. Back then, walk-in job applications were common. In my business attire matched with slippers, I would walk under the sweltering sun, brown envelopes containing my resumes in tow and a pair of high heeled shoes in my bag, as I hopped from …
Weddings – I have been hosting and attending a lot of these lately and most of the time, I am in awe of the bride’s gorgeous and obviously expensive wedding dress, the opulent ornamentations, the fancy souvenirs, and other things that helped create these fairy tale weddings.
