Wedding Wednesday (Vol. 1)



There's a lot of nitty-gritty details that you must remember as a Bride to Be.
Sure, it's all on the internet somewhere but NOT in this friendly and patient of a manner.



I mean, let's cut to the chase. 
We aren't all going the same speed.
But depending upon the speed in which you plan to go...
These are some of the first few things YOU gotta know!
These are also the things - that I wish someone had told me!

I am obviously over the moon, as is the Mr. 
HOWEVER, with that excitement, comes questions and a lot of pressure.
Especially if you don't have the answers!
The love and well wishes are equal parts very wonderful and overwhelming. 
But once that initial moment wears off and you've said your 1 millionth thank you...  

You don't really know what to do. 
Where to start.  Or, how to manage it all. 

These are 5 of the easiest & simplest tips I can share with you, for now.
 For the very beginning stages of engaged life! 💍

 So if you have not already done the following, DO the following...

1)  Get appraisal AND Insure your ring.
Seriously, this is no BS. 

2) Go get a new nail polish!
It will be your go to for emergency at home manis.
Your hands are the talk of the town right now!

3) Purchase thank you cards and stamps!
You will be receiving a lot of gifts and sending out a lot of cards! 

4) Buy a notebook
Or 2, one for you & the Groom!
  ( It's like we're back in college  notes and studying are going to become your new normal) 

5) Take it Easy & Put yourselves First
Take time to enjoy this moment and still be a normal cute couple!
This is the most exciting time in your life.
This is the time that you really have to decide how you want things to go. 

Don't get too far into the hoopla too soon!

Before you know it you will be walking down the aisle and honeymooning.
Just let it all be conversation and lists for now.

Until next time!


Ps. We will go in depth into the notebook. 
Like, when it becomes a binder.
When we need to have tabs for that binder...
Ya see, I don't want to stress you out!

Getting out of a funk, 101



I normally don't mind a rainy day...
I love curling up with a cup of tea and maybe a good book 
or catching up on a show once the day is done.

What I do NOT love, is when it's been days and days of consistent rain! 
And I have that feeling and that I should be in bed all day! 

So far, it's been raining since Sunday and not stopping until Mothers Day!

Its draining and so lack luster. 
It definitely puts me in a funk...

So being that it's Wellness Wednesday & May 4th 
I've got a couple of tips for getting yourself out of that blah mood! 
The force is with us, just gotta power through! 

1) Open the windows, get the fresh air in no matter if it's raining, chilly or not! 

2) Mediate for 10 mins, just deep breathing and focusing our energy on some positive, happy vibes. 

3) If you can't get outside for a walk on your break, walk the stairs a few floors up and door. 
Get your heart rate up and the endorphins flowing!

4) Buy some fresh flowers! It will give life to your space and a lovely smell too!

5) When the day is said and done, and all the emails have been sent - take a bath & put on a mask!
