Back To Business!

Wow! 2012 has been quite a whirlwind thus far and I feel like the rest of the year isn't going to be much different.  It's been a long time since I've had a few moments to sit down, take a deep breath and collect my thoughts.  My thoughts are necessarily collected very well or in any organized fashion, but here are some of them:

Went to Nicaragua. The trip still feels like it was a dream. From the volcano to the lakes, to the lake in the volcano, to the humidity like I've never felt before, to white sandy beaches, crystal blue ocean, sand on my skin, fresh fish, lobster, coconut craziness, lots of geckos, gallo pinto....it was amazing. 

Took my first trip to Hawaii.  It was just the vacation I needed from my previous vacation to Nicaragua.  Crazy how 5 nights in Hawaii can cost 3x's as much as 12 nights in Nicaragua! However, it was a little more luxurious (hot showers, A/C, drinks with umbrellas...you get the picture).  I probably also packed 3x's as much to go to Hawaii for 5 nights since I was not backpacking.  A woman's gotta exercise her prerogative to wear a different swimsuit each day at the beach!

The result of my vacations - First, I am tanner than ever.  Second, I got a horrific sinus infection once I made it back home!  What I've concluded from the second part is I need to figure out how to keep my sinuses clear (supplement ideas or any others are welcome) and keep my stress level lower.  So now, I have a few goals:
1) Take my multivitamin every day (don't forget!)
2) Find some natural supplements to take for stress and allergies
3) Get back to the gym at least 3x's a week. This is one of the best stress relievers ever! Duh...

In between the two trips I had a couple of milestone events happen with In Full Bloom by MJL!  I did flowers for a 300 person wedding, the biggest wedding yet.  I cannot wait to share some of the photos from this beautiful wedding.  I am also going to have a small feature published about In Full Bloom by MJL in Style Magazine this July!    

In Full Bloom by MJL is continuing to grow. I'm so excited for the upcoming weddings and all of the lovely brides (and grooms) I'm working with!  If you have an upcoming wedding or special event I would love to work with you too!
