I have a love-hate relationship with our smoke alarm, or rather its hyper-sensitivity: while I love that it would alert us quickly in an emergency situation, I hate that it’s both next to our kitchen and installed on one of our high ceilings...
Once I'd made my beautiful sandwiches, there was no way we were giving them up. Nor was I about to allow us to scarf them down outside the ferry terminal in the drizzle...
Holly was the winner of one of the Rio de Keratin Cocolada at-home Keratin treatments that I gave away a few weeks ago, and very generously offered to write up her experience for RG. Thanks, Holly!
Jordan has been kind enough to let me use the community space to shamelessly promote the new feature on my website: wedding-vow writing. I’ve been writing letters on behalf of other people for five years now (yes, people really do ask me to write letters for them), and this seemed like a logical progression.
Earlier this year my friend Dana, who works at Brides magazine, invited me to participate in an event the magazine was having. My original purpose was to advise brides-to-be on writing what Dana and I call “The Last Letter,” which is the letter the bride (or groom) writes to the groom (or bride) the night before the wedding. More details here.
Then one of Dana’s co-workers suggested I also be the wedding-vow expert at the event. I felt completely qualified because wedding vows are pretty much glorified love letters read in front of family and friends, and I have a lot of experience writing love letters. That got me thinking I really should write wedding vows—I’m sure they’re needed more often than letters. After a few months of procrastinating, I got my act together and the new service is up and running. Stop by if you have a moment, and pass the word along to all the soon-to-be-married people you know.
