Since transitioning into the event/wedding industry full time, I have worked really hard to create sharp divisions between my work time and personal time. I HUGE feat for me since I have long been blurring those lines.
As the Creative Director of my events, I am not always at each wedding my company has, or at least, not after their decor has been installed, which is my primary concern. I have amazing Coordinators, head up by the Director of Client Projects, Christen, who have the event day of coordination down to a science and I only get in the way!
So whether my weekends are the traditional days of the week or one’s I turn into my weekend, I have worked hard to turn the computer off, to give my focus to my husband, dog, friends and home. It’s still a work in progress, old habits die hard, but weekend’s like this past one are a great endorsement for prioritizing personal time!
I met up with my friend Charity for some fancy pants nails this weekend. You can see her post on it here. Below, on the left, is the inspiration image I brought into the salon and the result is on the right. Fantasy Nails on W.25th in Ohio City (sorta) brought my dream to life. The only caveat being they couldn’t do the inverse French mani in metallic as I had hoped. Having to choose a color, I went with hot pink. In the image after, you can see how that worked in my favor.
Wes and I play on a football team on Saturday mornings and our team colors are black and neon pink, so we not only won our game but I declare myself a team spirit winner too! I love how Wes insisted that his images be included in the image below so that it was clear that it was not HIS manicure being photographed with his shirt 🙂
Lucky us, we know the right people and got a sneak peek (thank you Jennie at RS! )of the vintage gems for sale at this week’s Paprkia Vintage/RS Boutique Fall show. The show is THursday so get it while the gettin’s good!
Wes and I had dinner with both sets of parents at Bar Cento but then snuck in an additional drink over at Great Lakes Brewery, where we noticed the countdown clock to the release of Christmas Ale (omg!).
my parents being cute below. They were actually all waving to my friend Beth, with whom I had been in the midst of texting with when we were sitting there. Hi Beth!
I know that sometimes buying the right personalized gift can be a serious challenge. Well, one of our recent brides (and my now friend!) hit the nail on the head with her Paris-themed gift package for me as a “Thank you” for helping her design her wedding. How amazingly cute are these custom BUCCI bowls for my little baby, Bucci!?!?! And then below is a Paris from above book Wes and I both loved. So sweet, I tell ya!
Sunday, Wes and I went to brunch and then swung into the Hingetown Market and ran into these two lovelies:
We also saw CAPTAIN PHILLIPS this weekend and LOVED LOVED LOVED it! I strongly recommend it, but of course, it’s not a terrific shocker that Tom Hanks did a great job in a film with a great script etc. well, no less, it’s perfect.
Well into the work week again, I look forward to all the fall goodies Wes have planned for our upcoming weekend too. Have a great week everyone and thank you for stopping by!
