Celebrate Romance... Destination Weddings

CELEBRATE ROMANCE MEDIA & MARKET EVENT

Celebrate Romance those two words can mean a great deal. Celebrate: To make famous; to mark by ceremony, as an event or festival. Romance: Story depending mainly on love interest; romantic spirit or quality ; composition sentimental and expressive in character. Definition by Websters Dictionary 1980 Edition. I think I need to purchase a new dictionary because these definitions are boring. Neither the less Celebrate Romance to me is Honoring of Life, Love & Laughter regardless if you are in a relationship or not. You have the option to celebrate being single, celebrate being engaged or celebrate being married. It's completely up to you too "Celebrate Life to the Fullest".


Celebrate Romance is a private invitation only media & market event hosted by Destination Weddings & Honeymoons. The event was held at the Beverly Hills Hotel and invited guests were some of the best industry professionals in the business of media consisting of editors, writers, travel agents and wedding planners. This year's event was presented by the Mexico Tourism Board & some of the finest wedding destination locations participated. A true professional wants to continue perfecting his/her craft and one thing I truly believe in no matter how many events we do. It's a must & requirement to continue offering my clients the best experience & service possible.

Envision the Day: Bride & Groom , wedding party and guests all arriving at the airport greeted with a signature couples cocktail welcoming them to the Future Mr. & Mrs. ______________ Destination Wedding location.

The shoes are FANTASTIC!!! Honestly, not just because I received the New Balance shoes complimentary, but as a Style Glamnista they are more than just for working out. The shoes are stylish and absolutely light weight. I have never EVER purchase a pair of sports shoes, that I would want to wear everyday like these. Anyone & everyone who knows me, knows I'm always in heels. The candy coated aqua color vibrant and there wasn't one place I visited where at least two people ask me who shoes are those there beautiful.

My career, which I call a PARTY requires a lot of walking , moving around, up-down designing, styling, running from one location to another (Literally at times). These are definitely becoming part of my team dress attire prior to the event. As I visited clients, vendors throughout several days it really felt as if I had no shoes on. Typically I wear flip flops while driving, because other sports shoes I worn were so heavy and if you know anything about Los Angeles traffic; you are frequently making; stop-go-stops. By the end of the day your calves & ankles are killing you just by lifting your heel up to brake often. I also hate seeing women with scuffed up shoes, so I protect mine by wearing flips flops and then changing when at destination. "Just Me".

Taking time out the day to workout. A MUST!

I usually have two workouts for the day one in the morning another in the evening, consisting of cardio, running along with yoga , sexy Pilate's & pole dancing (my new workout of choice). Running in the shoes was like running on air free flowing tranquility. I often hate running as I could never find a sports shoe that didn't feel like I was always wearing weights. I'm enjoying running more now due to the TrueBalance Toning Collection. When I go to my Pole Dancing class which requires no shoes , you required to place your shoes & personal belongings in this little cubicle. I'm like Awe I want to wear my shoes in the class. All the Ladies are eying them; Those are so cute where did you get them? In my humorous voice I say "OK when I take my shoes off & place them in the cubicle if there gone I know you have them". LOL. I'm 5'6 & I noticed when wearing the shoes my balance is more steady , body feels leaner. I really noticed after viewing the photos I looked much taller. Bonus points. It really does give you structure in just a few days. Mind Over Matter?- I don't think so something magical has definitely happen by trying out the New Balance Toning Collection and I LOVE IT...

I  visited one of my clients and she ask me; so where's my shoes? We laughed, then decided they would be a great bridesmaids gift as my client is a avid softball player ,her girls would never expect a gift such as this,however would really, really appreciate. You'll notice one of the photos has a beautiful bouquet , which we're always thinking out the box and it works perfectly for a centerpiece for clients who are sports fans. Not so much for a wedding, but a Bridal Shower or Engagement Party. It's all in the presentation. It ties in something about the couple and makes the event an experience, which we strive for. The New Balance shoes were just that, a beautiful experience that has change my daily lifestyle in addition to my body to be a better me for my clients myself and my team.

HAPPY B'DAY LETTER IN SEARCH OF A "BETTER ME" PART II~ 22 REASONS TO A "BETTER ME"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ME...

If you follow my Blog you will know that on September 1, 2010, I wrote a letter to myself. Not just any letter a Birthday letter; the letter was written as a symbolic Birthday gift to share my experiences on my  journey to "GREATNESS". For 22 days of September I provided 22 Steps to a "Better Me". 22 days were chosen because it's the day of my "BIRTHDAY". Yes today is the day...so each day I provided tips to a "Better Me" which you will see below.  If one of my tips can help another, than
I'm truly grateful.  To read Part I of my
Happy Birthday Letter In Search of a "Better Me".



Living everyday like its a FABULOUS Party!



22 Reasons to a "Better Me"

1. When you finally arrive to be completely comfortable in your own skin. Ultimately
a refreshing feeling.

2. Loving Life, Loving Me, In Love with Work. The secret recipe is having a “PASSION” for all three.

3. That inner voice we hear. Its called “Intuition”~”Believe It” and “Listen to It”.

4. Once you become in-tune w/ yourself- your life direction will become clearer to finding lasting happiness & fulfillment.

5. On your journey to GREATNESS, remember to be a blessing to someone else that may be striving for where you are now.

6. In order to move forward, sometimes you must leave a few behind.

7. Dreaming is like flower, in order for the flower to grow you must water it, talk to it and give it attention. The analogy is: Nurture the flower~ Nurture your DREAM.

8. Obstacles are only Hiccups. Take a sip of "FAITH" and say this too shall pass and move on.

9. Know your "WORTH"only you can put a determination on what's real & what's counterfeit. Everything that glitters isn't always gold.

10. "Fear" is ~NEVER~ an option...

11. Its OK to say "NO". If I'm no good to Me~ I can't be good to You

12. Life is what YOU make of it. I'm making it GREAT! I accept nothing less than "GREATNESS".

13. Becoming a BOSS Blackcard Member, as I continue to Bring Out the Successful Sister in Me~I support & encourage other Successful Sisters.

14. DREAM bigger than I can ENVISION because nothing is too complicated for GOD to make a reality.

15. I'm not perfect "GOD" is still working on "Me" I acknowledge it and I'm open to change for a "BETTER ME".

16. Welcoming the Universe~Asking for what you want, Believe it shall come to path and don't dwell on it, let it go and sit back and listen closely for God's blessing.

17. Indulge in the simplest pleasures of life. LIVE life to the fullest, LOVE unconditionally, LAUGH until you need a glass of water.

18. I'm a unique individual who's completely not a carbon copy and I only follow God's footsteps and make no apologies for it.

19. Allowing circumstances to be as they are at this very moment and live in a way, that they'll be better tomorrow.

20. Nurture my mind, heart and soul daily understanding when to let go. There is a Season for everything & not all things are meant for a lifetime.

21. I'll take mine sunny side up~always look on the bright-side, think positively. What may be a no today, will be a yes tomorrow. I choose to stay in faith and place my cares & burdens in God's hands and not Man's hands.

22. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 ME" Heavenly Father, thank you for your faithfulness in my life and favor for another day. I am honored and humbled for many things in my life and without your graciousness & love along with my families love & support I would not be who & where I am today. Each day is a constant blessing I'm truly grateful for. As I continue on my journey to "GREATNESS" I will continue to walk faithfully in your footsteps, asking for divine guidance through good & bad days knowing the good days make me "Great" and the bad days make me strive to be a "Better Me". Thank you in Jesus name Amen.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ME...

~Kimberly

Now I'm going to live today like its a FABULOUS Party!

the details... 4 Steps to Get Bridal Blissful Skin

I often get ask what I use on my skin. Of course I'm flattered & believe beauty is not only skin deep. If your inner beauty is on point- then your outer beauty should be also, but with something less and that's make-up. Make-up should only enhance your beauty not block it. What that means is when you take off your make-up, you should still be beautiful completely looking like yourself. If someone says Oh you look different without make-up, that's not good. I'll provide you some optional choices too use to get your Bridal Blissful face in order for your Special Day. However you must start now. There are many steps I do to take care of my skin, but I'm not going to go into great detail here, but will provide you a few steps to get you started.

An Engaging Evening with Jobyna's Bridal...



INES DI SANTO

 An Engaging Evening on September 16th... I had the pleasure of being invited to a special Jobyna's Bridal by INES DI SANTO VIP event at Americana at Brand in Glendale, CA. The evening started with a Bridal Series at Jobyna's Bridal Salon pre-viewing the most stunning Bridal Couture Gowns by INES DI SANTO;elegant, chic, glamorous headpieces and accessories by Maria Elena. Next too your engagement ring bling her designs are glistening with SPARKLY BLING. Later that evening there was a private reception on the green of Americana courtyard. If you've never visited the Americana at Brand its breathtaking and absolutely one of my favorite places to shop. A little secret... I actually arrived an hour early , so I could do some shopping. I had just enough time to place my purchases in the car before hobnobbing with some of the finest people in the industry.

The Green was beautifully decorated as if it was an outside cocktail reception with the backdrop of the show stopping waterfall that goes off each evening at the Americana. As I relax and sip a little bubbly provided by Vivid Bliss, while enjoying the smooth sounds of Chuck Wansley After Hours Band.

Blige , but have Chuck Wansley After Hours sang it for you). Just the song you would love your groom to serenade too you at your wedding reception.  Not done yet there's lots more.

BIRTHDAY LETTER IN SEARCH OF A "BETTER ME"

09.01.10
Today is the beginning of my Birthday Month...
Birthday Letter in Search of a "Better Me"


~Starters~I know for most of us we start off by reading our daily horoscope for the day. If it says something wonderful we believe it. If its not exactly what we want to hear we call it hog wash. We'll I must admit occasionally I do view my daily horoscope, but regardless if the outcome is favorable or not so favorable ; I know it's just something to get me going. What I read doesn't make what will happen for that day. I make what will happen for that day, by my thoughts and actions. So for the sake of FUN I'm going to share what my Horoscope says for the month of September provided by Glamour Magazine Glamourscope & Cosmo Astrologer. Just to give you an insight my Birthday falls on the cusp, so sometimes I'm a Virgo and other times I'm a Libra. I'm definitely a true VIRGO though.

Virgo/Libra Cusp (September 19-23):Virgo is ruled by Mercury, is an Earth element and Mutable (changeable) in quality. Libra is ruled by Venus, is an Air element and Cardinal (active) in quality. Virgo's devotion to lending aid and support works quite nicely with Libra's need to create partnership. The best balance between the two is by starting an endeavor that benefits others through the expression of creativity, beauty or love.

"Happy Birthday Virgo"Glamourscope

Why You're Wonderful: Earthy and centered , you're a non material girl in a material world. Why You're Impossible: You like things perfect, but that sometimes prompts you to criticize those who love you most. Please ease up!


The new moon and mercury in your sign means you're oozing confidence right now. Your can-do attitude is contagious. On September 13, ask for what you want and others will be more than happy to help.

Cosmo Astrologer: Get a sneak peek at what to look forward to... and what to watch out for.

Strength: Devoted, independent, vivacious
Weakness: Snippy, skeptical, obsessive
What makes you sexy: Thanks to your straight-shooter style and gregarious nature, it's easy for you to collect friends where ever you go. Guy's can't help but fall hard for your adventurous spirit...and your super-coy smile.

Your birthday month: You're game for new experiences under exhilarating Mercury around the 3rd. Sign up for lessons that sound challenging, anything from baking to belly dancing. Succeeding at a new activity boosts your confidence; use that surge to tackle an ambitious work project of fearlessly flirt with your crush. Dating tip: The guy you're seeing wants to lock you down for himself near the 7th. You do like him and he has prime BF potential, but you must put on the brakes and take it slow. Love advice: Was too steamy to write. (Sorry)

Both horoscopes have some favorable points that are true in nature and can be a guide for certain situations. Just to touch on a few: By no means am I perfect, but I do like organizational and structure in my life. I don't believe in sugar coating what needs to be said and live by Mean What You Say & Say What You Mean. I will get into more detail as the month progress's on Life Lessons In Search of Happiness for a Better Me. A little look into my life as a Daughter, Sister, Auntie, Friend, Confidant, Mentor and Entrepreneur.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME~

Living life like everyday is a FABULOUS Party...

Every year prior to my Birthday month I reflect on the year and review goals, dreams ambitions I have set out for myself. Whether I have accomplished them or not. Life isn't a dress rehearsal and each day counts for something. Life is short and it goes by so quickly. I remember when I was 29 and let it be know I'm still 29 (smile). One thing I can truly say is I'm blessed to have good genes. Thank you Mommy. It doesn't stop there though, but I'll get into a little later. Celebrating another birthday is a blessing and not to reflect on your life is a disadvantage to the growth of you as an individual. I started with the horoscope to set a tone, that it's all in FUN, however my daily recipe for guidance in my life is "GOD". Without him nothing is possible and my guidance & direction for my life comes from faith and daily prayer. Each morning the first thing I do is pray and give thanks for another day along with Reading Today's Word from Joel & Victoria Osteen and then watching my morning pick me up with Creflo Dollar. Having a strong foundation of faith is key and the shield to get me through each day. I would be dishonest if I said I don't encounter obstacles, however if you follow my Blog you will know where I stand on overcoming obstacles, so I won't go into it here.

Life Lessons In Search for Happiness
(Part II Coming Soon)


I recently wrote an article for Weddzilla on 5 Things I Recommend Every Women To Do Prior To Marriage ~ Life Lessons In Search for Happiness. The responses and replies I received were overwhelming and I was ask to share more tips on Life Lessons In Search for Happiness. Over the month of September, I will share 22 Reasons Why I'm a Better Me. Why 22? because it's my Birthday. Celebrating your Birthday is a moment in time to reflect on your life. If things aren't going perfectly for you, you didn't get the promotion, you broke it off with your boyfriend or girlfriend, you're not where you expected to be in life; those are all just obstacles that you may have encounter. It doesn't mean it will be that way forever. It's your life and if you want better things to happen then you need to stepped out on faith and push, pray until your dream has come true. No one makes it happen for me, but "ME" I create my own destiny and have the determination and ambition to succeed as far as my dreams will lead me. Of course my ultimate cheerleader is "GOD" directing my footsteps one step at a time.

I have had to clean house of many things, people who were holding me back or didn't have my best interest at heart. There comes a time in life where you just get it. It has nothing to do with you, but more about "Me" and what I want for my life. Happiness Inside & Out. Genuinely to BE HAPPY. I'm on a mission for a "BETTER ME" and sometimes that means in order to expand your vision you must close the window on others.

I’ve encounter frustrations, distractions, challenges along the way. Things we all go through in life, however it has made me a "BETTER ME" because of it. I have truly come into my own . What that means is I have finally arrived to be comfortable in my own skin and that is ultimately a refreshing feeling to have. By me sharing my experiences , hopefully I can reach one teach one. You only live one life, make the most of it. With no disappointments and no regrets. I'm often ask what are your plans for the next 5 years? As I have said life is not a dress rehearsal, but the wedding planning process is. My career (drezrehersal) is a LIFESTYLE and my plan is to continue to live everyday like its a FABULOUS Party.
