Calling all Brides! Calling all Brides-to-be!!

Have you started your wedding planning yet? 

It’s an eye-opener to attend a Bridal trade show if you have never done it before.  Bring along your Maid-of-Honor, BFF, or family members to brainstorm your wedding party.  Get to check out new products, meet new vendors on food, gifts, accessories, or even honeymoon trip location ideas.  Is a great go-to destination!

On Wednesday August 19, 2009 (6:30 pm to 9:30 pm) - try to attend the Morris County Summer Wedding Showcase  -at Holiday Inn Parsippany,  - at 707 Route 46, Parsippany, NJ – hope you have bought your tickets.

Happy Planning!

Do you want to inspire someone? 

You can achieve that with so many different ways.  What if giving someone a piece of jewelry that carries special message such as ‘YOU ARE LOVED’, ‘ JOY’, or ‘DREAM’?  To inspire someone not to forget their dreams and aspirations…to keep joy in their hearts…or simply to remind them how special they are in your heart?

At Cozy Petal, we are happy to announce that we now carry the Jewelry Collection from ‘Story Bracelets & More’ (www.storybraceletsandmore.com) to our eBoutique.  Perfect for all seasonal gifts - birthdays, bridal shower gifts, mother’s day gifts or ‘just because’ … You have to agree that jewelry can be a girl’s best friend.  From costly designer brands to lower price ranges of the Street fair styles, you can always light up someone with a special charm bracelet, or necklace.  Personally, I love the mixing of leather, metal and beads for the everyday accessories.  These handcrafted jewelry created by Praols (‘Women Helping Women’) is a great message to pass it on.  Jewelry with a Cause, how divine!

Their mission is to help stay at home moms and low income single mothers that find themselves in dire situations.  These inspirational jewelry is handcrafted by these women to empower them to earn an Income without the burden of day care expenses.  Unlike most of the jewelry currently out there, these are proudly handcrafted in the USA. 

All pieces come with a ‘message’ and it is a fun way to pass them along…go ahead, inspire someone today!

I love, love my Designer Flip Flops!  Why? Because I am my own Footwear Designer by adding Rhinestone Charms to these flip flops.  I can spell out names, phrases and maybe just add a few fun charms whenever I like it.

Recently, I got married! Wearing those super high-heels might look great with my wedding dresses (yes, I had several changes thru the party), but my feet didn’t appreciate them too much. So in between photo shoot, I switched to my ‘Just Married’ Flip-Flops!  These rhinestone charms add sparkle and bling bling to my feet.  I can also add these charms to my matching bracelets.  Have some fun and accessorize them!

Here is an article I read from Newsweek magazine that I found very interesting, titled:
‘When Your Child Is Away’.

It stated that:
‘Does the thought of dropping your child off at camp send you into fits of separation anxiety? If so, you’re not alone. The American Camp Association (www.acacamps.org) says it’s seen an increase in “kidsickness” from parents, whose intense relationship with their children makes it harder to let go.’

Peg Smith, CEO of the ACA gave some tips on making those weeks alone easier for parents. She said that ‘Camp is a time for kids to take a break from their parents, too. They won’t forget you. If you don’t hear from your children, view it as a positive sign: they are simply busy and having fun.’

Among my friends who send their kids to Summer Camp, they can identify and relate to this issue. Great that nowadays, there are loads of website forums and bloggers such as: (http://tweenparenting.about.com), (www.CafeMom.com), (www.SheKnows.com) where moms can share their experiences and feelings with others.

When I started to design our ‘Summer Camp-Spa Care Packages or SleepOver Spa Gift Baskets’ for Cozy Petal, I knew that these Gift Baskets will bring some joy to both the senders and the girls who received them.

Just think about this: We all can use some TLC and a little pampering! When your girls receive a Gift Basket at Camp that wraps with a big bow with all the Spa & Sparkle goodies – that’s just another way to show that you love them, you care while they are away from home…

Cozy Petal:  Summer Camp Care-Package Gift Baskets – designed with fun themes for Tweens (tweenagers).

According to the Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/public/us) last month, there is an increasing demand of young girls going for spa-treatments with their moms. Some hotels have already designed special

Day Spa Packages gear to the Tweens – places such as Scoops Kid Spa at the Great Wolf Lodge (www.greatwolf.com), Four Seasons Hotel, Los Angeles (www.fourseasons.com/losangeles), and Lowes Santa Monica Beach Hotel, Los Angeles (www.loewshotels.com).

So, don’t’ be surprise that when your girls ask to come along with you on your next Spa Day appointment…it can be another great way to bond with them…Enjoy!
