So far everything has been going fine with my detox.  Today was Day 5.  It was also one of the most active days that I’ve had so far.  Pilates and Yard work…  Hard enough that my “filling” 700 calories of lemonade weren’t enough.  Read Full Story

Yesterday’s blog entry may have been a little more dramatic than required. Firstly, my first day of de-tox went really easily. Most importantly, I didn’t fart.  Not even once.  Admittedly I was also kind of scared of any potential follow through – lol. What I will tell you though is that the salt water flush does exactly what it says.  It flushes. Oh. My. God!  Apologies in advance for the gross imagery.  But if you can imagine what it’s like to have a mouthful of wat... Read Full Story

Well this morning is the start of what should be a 10 day de-tox.  Through recommendation and research I chose to do the Master Cleanse De-Tox, also known as The Master Cleanse Diet, or the Lemonade Diet. From what I’ve heard, seen and read it’s quite a stringent process, but results are amazing, and as I’m at a place where I want to kick start my fitness and diet again after more than 12 months hiatus, I figured this would a good place to start. So this morning is where it... Read Full Story

With the recent state of the economy, it seems that more and more people are concerned about their wedding vendors going of business before their wedding day comes. I have had a few people share their concern with me, along with their consideration of wedding insurance, so I thought I would share the details. What is wedding insurance?

good evening everyone!!! I had a GREAT day!!! I spent the morning at the Tampa Bay Watch helping a couple get ready for their commitment ceremony. They needed some special Chrissy help with the floor plan and with coordinating some of their vendors. The Watch has a beautiful set of windows on the water, that should always be your focal point. That’s why you rented the venue! So, with Laura’s help (she is the great great girl that works there) we swapped the room and did a quick ... Read Full Story
