    Other than putting together all my stationary (programs, seating cards, table #’s, menus) I have been trying my best to take care of myself. Actually, not really. Trying my best has been …

    - forgetting to pluck my eye brows

    - forgetting to wash my face before I go to sleep

    - forgetting to moisturize after my shower

    But ONE thing I didn’t neglect are my roots!

    Everyone always has a wedding advice. All of which I truly value and am totally grateful for because it’s made every day leading up to today a bit easier. But one wedding advice that almost everyone avoids talking about is money. (THANKS ERIC & SERENA for the heads up!!!)

    There are a lot of behind the scenes hands that put together a wedding. & I, as a wedding vendor, truly appreciate everyone that’s a part of our wedding. So along with the tip, I put together a vendor goody bag!

    Water, gatorade, power bars, candy, gum, chocolate and a sandwich will be packed in this goody bag. There’s nothing better than a well fed, happy vendor on your wedding day to make it that much more special!

    I went in for my  last dress fitting yesterday and ….. IT’S TOO TIGHT!!!

    At my first dress fitting I had to take in 4 inches and then another 2 for the 2nd fitting. But at the 2nd fitting, I asked my seamstress to take it in a bit more because I’m planning on losing a bit more weight.

    DARN mini getaway with family! I ate so well! Like, I ate every meal so abundantly! :)

    My seamstress made comments like, “OH! Weren’t you gonna lose weight?” “Perhaps you should skip thanksgiving this year?”

    So for this 2010 thanksgiving, I plan to eat the salad and fruits. Then work it off by attending WOODBURY COMMON OUTLET’s black friday.

    Good luck everyone who plans to black friday! I wish everyone a safe and happy black friday!

    and please! Enjoy thanksgiving dinner for me~~ :(

    with LOVE! I seriously can not thank my bridesmaids enough for such a beautiful shower at one of my favorite restaurants! SALA (Flushing, NY)

    It started with a crazy morning because the microdermabrasion facial I got left MILLIONS of tiny red bumps ALL OVER MY FACE. My face felt raw, bumpy, itchy but painful, just straight up UGLY! I think of all the people I know, I have THE MOST SENSITIVE skin in the world. But this was beyond UGLY! I’m too embarrassed to even post up pictures :(

    Anyways! back to the subject at hand! My shower at

    Lately I’ve been SO BUSY!!!!!! To the point where I have no time to read my blogs, sign birthday cards, tweeze my eyebrows or even give a crap about what I look like. Is this why Manhattan people always look washed out, pale and tired? Must be!

    However, this past Saturday was J’s bridal shower! I unfortunately could not attend but I had already thought about what I wanted to get her. Every time we do weddings, the photographers always do a photoshoot with the dress alone. They typically hang it from a window. But you know what would ruin a picture? An ugly hanger! Even a wood hanger doesn’t really match a beautiful white dress. That’s why I decided to get J this:

    Other than having to tackle my in laws, there’s nothing that’s really stressed me out about our wedding. Being a freelancer as I’m planning this wedding has been a God sent blessing! I’m able to do something everyday and doing major jobs are quite enjoyable. I know girlfriends that broke their backs doing stationary stuff for hours at a time.

    Here’s one thing I learned very quickly especially with my obsessive personality!

    - SET IT & FORGET IT! Stop looking for something better.

    I can’t even tell you how many times I doubted my dress, color schemes, stationary. It’s quite endless when it comes to wedding ideas. =.=;;;

    But last month, I did one of the best part of wedding planning. “TASTING” my foods!
