Has this week been crazy for you?
Last weekend was so busy, and so was Monday and Tuesday – I’ve been all mixed up on my days and I’m pretty sure I skipped a week entirely because there’s really only 1 week of January left…what???
Anyway, now that I realize it is Friday I am pretty excited for the weekend. I’ll be attending a fun event on Saturday in Costa Mesa to celebrate the Grand Opening of Phase II at one of my favorite local spots – the OC Mart Mix. This place was built for small businesses and I’m thrilled to see how it’s grown in just a year. I applaud the companies who took a risk in moving in when it was empty and had the faith (and the means, obviously) to see it through. Hurrah for expansion!
A couple things I loved about this week:
1. I totally changed the blog. Did you notice? I’ve tried to rework the layout a few times before and it always ended up looking pretty much the same. But this time it’s just different enough to be exactly what I was hoping for…with a few kinks that I’ll figure out eventually. What do you think?
2. These freshy fun pillows from Erin Flett – featured on Design Sponge
3. I’d like to think that if my recipes were organized here I would use them more often, simply because I would want to look at the book everyday – from Poppytalk
4. I made my first video. Well, that’s a lie, because I used to make Spice Girls videos with my girlfriends every time a new song came out. Guess which Spice I was? And at the cultured age of 5 I would write, direct and perform in plays with my cousin. So really, this gift has been culminating practically since birth – and this video might be disappointing to you. But I’m pretty excited. So, will you watch it anyway, puhleez?
5. This isn’t really inspired so much as baffled/afraid/proud of the voice of social media but I have to mention the SOPA Blackout Day because it happened. And that was interesting. Google’s foot stomping was my favorite. I don’t think there’s a chance in hell of that insanity passing…but then again, what do I know? The older I get the more things I am dead wrong about. Let’s hope this isn’t one of those things. (BTW, if this does pass I will be in super big trouble for using that Spice Girls poster…see the risks I take for you?)
Like I said, I’ve been a busy lady this week. I just have one last thing to mention, or plug, if you will. I’ve been doing this blogging/social media thing for my own business for over 3 years now…and I tend to talk a lot about the business side of it during offline discussions with friends and acquaintances. Through a series of recent kismetic conversations and events, I have somehow stumbled into now doing this stuff for other people’s businesses. And I like it! What started out as a few quick tutorials, or setting up a Facebook page, has turned into a business opportunity.
I am not one to overlook opportunity.
So, do me a favor and think of me if anyone you know has a business that needs some help with their social media marketing. And I would love to work with you too, cuz we’re friends and all.
Peace, yo. Have a great weekend.
