So, for the first time, my fiancé and I have registered at a store. Our first store? Macy's! Now, I'm not a big fan of Macy's most of the time, but when a friend told me of their Wedding Registry Sip and Shop, I thought it was worth looking into.
And let me tell you, it was! Anyone who needs to register for a wedding - this is a MUST! Not only are you pampered with water, coffee, "mocktails," and light appetizers, but you are also gifted with a lovely little tote bag as a thank you for coming.
Inside the tote bag? Lot's of wonderful goodies. I was surprised to see coupons for store items, even if not on your registry, some Godiva chocolate (I mean, seriously, who doesn't love a little Godiva?!), and the best gift of all: notes to put inside your wedding invitations! On the back of each of the little pre-made notes are instructions for your guests on how to order and how they can earn free shipping on your wedding gift! How cool!
So, if you're in Chicago, or near Chicago and can get to the Mother Store (aka, State Street), Friday the 8th, 15th, and 22nd of Feb and March are your next "Sip and Shop" events. Write it on your calendar. These are a MUST "see" event!

Make 2013 the Best
There are lots of people telling you how to make this year work. They're throwing so much at your: Food, Fitness, Love, Life, Work, Personal Goals, etc. Where do you start?
After lots of personal growth, personal trials, and some really great mentors, here is what I've determined is the best way to take the best 1st step to your 2013 Amazingess:
1) Get out some really fun markers and great, big piece of paper
2) Write: IN 2013, I DESERVE or I WILL across the top
3) Throw all hesitation and the little nay-sayer out the window
4) Write EVERYTHING you wish you had the chance to accomplish / really want to do
4a) Number them
4b) Be specific! Maybe it's not "buy a place." Maybe it's "buy a house" or "buy a 2 bedroom house".
5) When you think you're done, add 2 more things!
6) If you like "frills," add a few colors or decorations to make it fun to look at.
Stick it somewhere you see it everyday: On your wall at work, behind your computer, on your refrigerator.
See what happens. Your subconscious has just been given permission to "do". Take advantage of it and believe you're worth it!
