"Love is in the air"...



With Valentine's Day right around the corner, most of us are stressing about what to get our significant other! I have always thought of V-day as an unnecessary holiday; if you love someone, why should you wait for ONE special day to show it? Love is an emotion that should be expressed every day of the year (including V-day)!  But, this year, I got caught up, just like everyone else, in the stress of shopping for my boyfriend. I've done all the "cutesy" stuff before: Once I baked a giant cookie shaped like a heart (well, more like slightly resembling a heart, really), I've made picture collages more than once, and a few years back I decorated his house with balloons and streamers.  I've pulled all the stops before- so yesterday, out of ideas, I walked the mall aimlessly hoping something would just come to me... I was so wrong! I found nothing (but I did find something today). So this why I am writing right now:

Hoefully my gift guide will make it easier so you don't have to go through V-day anxiety every again! No matter who you love on Valentine's day: whether it be your boyfriend, husband, best friends, mom (or your dog), there is a great, from-the-heart gift for everyone!  

For all the dog-loving women, show your devotion to Fido and wear your heart... around your neck with a "Must Love Dogs" necklace from Alisa Michelle.  For your significant other: an "enjoy it together" gift usually works best; think couple's massage, dinner for two, or my personal favorite- vacation! Single girls can play Secret Santa with a twist and call it Secret Cupid (or something to that effect, LOL).  Surprise your girlfriends with matching wrap bracelets (friendship bracelets) from Citrine or fun undies from Honeydew.

I hope everyone has a fabulous AND glamorous V-day! ♥ ♥

Crazy busy...

Between last week and this week I have had waaay too much going on! I have been so busy! My friend Stacey had a party at her store Scarlett in South Miami, I was there with my merchandise selling along with Ashley (Poodlies headbands) and another girl selling jewelry. The party went really well!

On Sunday was the Grand Opening Party of Dr. Jarrett's Wellness Center (http://drwjarrett.com).  It was a huge event and I was lucky to be a vendor there! There were free smoothies, italian ice and food from different restaurants, AND there was a huge raffle with tons of prizes. I won a 1-hour massage, woohoo!! :0)

This week I received new wrap bracelets and headbands from Citrine by the Stones, undies from Honeydew Intimates and handbags from Beautiful People.  Beautiful People is this new bag line that is amazing; the designer is based out of Miami and the prices are so reasonable.  I am so excited about carrying the line!

On Saturday I will be doing an accessories party at Midway Cafe in Islamorada.  I am bringing all my merchandise for a night of shopping, champagne and cupcakes with my Keys girls!  Best of all, we'll all be heading to the Full Moon Party at Morada Bay after.  I always have so much fun at the Full Moon, I can't wait!
