Gojane.....

This past Saturday the husband and I attended a wedding of our dear friends Ashley and Brian. From day one they have always had a place in our hearts, so when we heard they were getting married we couldn't miss it for the world.The ceremony was traditional and was very heart felt. The location was at Argyle Country Club in Silver Spring,MD and might I say it was so nice. I had already start looking for a dress once she told me some time last year. I immediately started going to my favorite websites to look for something that would stand out and also something comfortable (because I like to dance). I had been eyeing this wonderful dress from GoJane  . Once I saw this dress I thought it was so perfect because the wedding was at a country club and what better than a high low gown. I can admit I thought it would come off looking like a prom dress, but it just seemed so perfect. Okay so for those who don't normally shop at GoJane you better get with it. The shipping is good, the delivery actually came before it said it would, and the product is of good quality. I would recommend GoJane to any of my fashionistas who are looking for something that's not going to break the bank.

Great Gatsby Party...

The weekend before this past weekend was the first event for E.S.F. . It was for a very fabulous forty-five year old who just wanted something low key but still nice. We said "What says fabulous at forty-five" so Sharday, one of our event planners said "Great Gatsby" . We immediately fell in love with this theme and went to work. While the party was going on we also played "Who killed the Billionaire?". There were clues that the guest had to look for in order to guess who the killer was. So the event was a success and we had so much fun hosting and putting things together.

Reasons.....

Happy Hump day everyone! Today I want to talk about the quote above. This quote stood out to me because yesterday was kind of an emotional day for me. I was feeling like the world was against me. Then I ran into someone who I have not seen in years. It was my math teacher from high school. Let me just say she was a wonderful and caring person. She was one of my biggest supporters and motivators during my high school years. So when I was down in the dumps yesterday God sent me someone to make me smile. I was walking back from lunch when I saw her get off the elevator and I immediately felt like I was in her classroom again. She still look the same and still had the same lovable personality that I remember. We talked for about 15 minutes as if it was old times. She was just as excited to see me as I was to see her. As the conversation was getting towards the end she told me how proud of me she was and how she was glad to see that I'm doing good. She didn't know it, but I needed to hear those words. Yes, I know I'm grown but even as an  adult I needed to hear that. At the end we hugged and said goodbye. I was so excited that I had to come tell my friends at work and I even posted it on my snap chat. When you're least expect God will show up and show out. So don't take what he does for granted. Now I'm not going to ask you to join a church or collect any money (lol). Just count your blessings and know that you can get through anything. 

Until next time.....Smooches!!!!!!!!!!!

Networking.....

So on Monday I was invited to a "Spring Fling"networking event that was hosted by Housewives in the City located in Rockville, MD at the VisArts Center. This was my first networking event since I've been blogging. So at first I was nervous, but I just looked at it as if I was going to a cook out with family. So I walked in and immediately I was comfortable. The environment was nice and everyone was nice. I will definitely be attending more networking events of of course because of my blog but also to promote E.S.F. business that I joined with my friend and fellow blogger Star. The outfit I chose was a simple white shirt, jeans,and my favorite booties, but I felt it was too plain so I put my own flare to it and paired it with my tribal vest. I must say I was very happy with it and the event was wonderful I got to meet new people and met vendors for the business and blog.

Tribal Vest - Body Central
