Life In Five: 05

Celebrating: the day Hal and I met 12 years ago today. Yes, it was love at first sight, and I give you permission to gag. We're pampering ourselves with an overnight staycation here in town. Should be a jolly good time.

Designing: my friend Melanie's wedding invitations. A great honor and an even greater responsibility. I'm more paranoid about making hers perfect than I ever was with my own! We're doing watercolor and calligraphy, my current specialties :)

Learning: soooo much about online marketing that my brain hurts. I'm in home stretch of B-School and teetering on information overload. But it's the good kind of overwhelm. The exciting stuff. It will probably take the rest of the year to fully implement my new-found knowledge into the blog and budding art biz, but my goals are precision clear. Stay tuned for a post about the top things I've learned.

Detoxifying: my life, starting with the nasty chemicals I've been putting into my hair and skin. There are so many healthier options. Finding the best natural and organic personal care products will take some trial and error, but I've already found a few gems. I'll make sure to share my list once it's ready.

Researching: my next big adventure. This actually isn't anything new, as I plan fake vacations all the time. But I've got the travel itch, what can I say. We won't be able to go anywhere grand any time soon, since this is the year of weddings in LA. But I'll be saving my pennies for someplace exotic in 2015. Thinking about Iceland with my love. Or Istanbul with my girls. Or Bali with myself!?
