New Job! Who this?!
I started a new job mid-March – crazy to think that I was able to and lucky enough to quick and find a job so quickly. I am definitely thankful, grateful, and blessed. But, do not be fooled – it was a lot of hard work as well with the emotional rollercoaster of interviewing and moving on in the process vs. getting denied. What I’ve noticed thus far in this new role? Although I went through multiple interviews, it’s hard for people to know the detail and depth of your work experience in a matter for a 30 – 60 minute interview. It is up to you to utilize your…

Keeping Sane with SIP and the holidays
The holidays are my thing. More specifically Christmas, but I still can get down with Halloween and Thanksgiving. 2020 has and still is a very weird off-putting year, but I do not believe it should be a killjoy on the holiday season. Yes, it may be a little different this year, but sometimes you just have to roll with the punches. I’m going to share some things that I am doing to make sure that I am still being festive and celebrating the fall holidays to give me a sense of normalcy and keeping myself sane. Make your space festive.For Halloween and Thanksgiving – it’s literally the same color scheme…

Bachelorette Recap
I am not your typical bride – I am pretty low key and low maintenance. I am not one to go to Vegas, get strippers, get super trashed, etc. For my bachelorette it really played out very well and COVID actually helped me have a bachelorette that was more catered to my personality. I only had at a maximum four girls attend the bachelorette at one time. Only two were there for the whole weekend which consisted of a Friday evening to a Sunday late breakfast. My sister only came during the day on Saturday. But, to me, it was perfect. I didn’t mind that everyone wasn’t there for the…

Planning a COVID safe Wedding
Planning a wedding in 2 months is definitely not an easy feat, but to be honest, I am lucky to have been put in a similar predicament when I worked for the San Francisco 49ers. One of the years I worked there, I was tasked to put on and market a first of it’s kind conference in a matter of 2 months. So a wedding with less than 30 people was a piece of cake! Now, here are a few steps of how I made it COVID preventionary. Provide hand sanitizers for each guest and/or household. I provided 8 fl oz. hand sanitizer for each household which I got from…

I’m freakin’ getting married!
Welp! We are doing the impossible and getting married during a pandemic! My fiance, Brandon, and I were driving to a disc golf course when I asked him what his thoughts were on having a small backyard wedding this year in late summer/early fall just a month ago. I was getting really frustrated with how COVID-19 has changed the events world drastically – especially since that is what my career is focused on, but also because it literally put a halt on our wedding planning. I give props to those couples that have had to either drastically change their wedding vision and/or had to postpone their weddings. For me, even…

A Week in Nature
This past week and a half, I actually had the opportunity to get away from the bay and stay in Northern California in this super small, cute, and quaint town called Nevada City. It was nice to spend some quality time with the future in-laws and taking care of them. Nevada City is different – it’s like another world out there – which is oddly exactly what I needed. I grew up in the bay area and will always love and appreciate it for what it has to offer – from bomb bay area food, lots of diversity, etc. But, I definitely needed to get a change of scenery. I…
