#Blogmas 2017 Where is it I can't find it?

Hi there Diamond Glamor Girls,

As we look at new and old tradition I came across a new one that #bloggers have as well as #vlogger. It's #blogmas or #blogmas. What is this new custom I do not understand. 

 I have heard of #blogma you know the annoying words that one read in a blog that gets your blood pressure up. Your annoyed with everything around you, mainly the words you read have as such evoke and emotional reaction within you, your not sure and you can get out of control?

In the search to understand this foreign word, that's how it sounds to me I searched the Internet like most people to only discover a list of things to do. I already have enough things to do. It's the holiday season. Then the search continued. #Blogmas it isn't listed in the dictionary. Hum! There is the word "#Blogwash" is. There are other words related which lead to this overwhelming reality that this modern world has new things to learn everyday. Vocabulary lessons still happen in adult's. This will be an adventure in blogging at Holiday. 

By the way where is it exactly I can purchase blogmas? I went to several stores today and couldn't find it. Can and will you help me.

Hoping it will be an adventure for all of us.

What do New Couples and Voting Have In Common

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls;



I was thinking about this day...pondering, reflecting on all the brides I have been privileged and blessed to work with.  This day like your wedding day has been planned for for years.  How important it is.  Here are some things I thought and Presidential Election and a Bride and Groom have in Common

1. Planned for years!
2. Some believe it was destiny, others believed it was hard work.
3. It takes two in order to make it work (There has never been a signal president)
4. They both have to believe in one another.
5. They both have to teach each other to believe in the good within and without!
6. They both have to have common good in mind.
7. They both have to know that what always looks good isn't always what is good.
8. They both have to know their finances.
9. Finances, how to plan for a future.
10. They need to know that the wedding day, election day is only the beginning to many more days.
11. They both have to go from a ideal reality to an everyday reality.
12. The reality is that everything stops for them for a day and then their friends those they get close to go back to being the center of their own world.
13. The most important part is listening to one another, hearing what they say, and respecting yourself and your opinion enough to know that your Voice and opinion is important to those around you.
14. They have to care about those they are listening to.
15. Most of all they need to do what is Right for each other and our country.

like.

Weddings on a Budget

San Diego is the number one place for destination weddings. For brides on a budget its blue skies and ocean make a perfect backdrop for saying ones vows. When an engaged couple is thinking about their wedding, wedding locations, are a couple of tips.

1. Find the things you both enjoy. Whatever it is earthy types, city types, if you’re a pink girl. It is what you and your fiancé like doing together. Then look for locations. Parks, beaches and historical places tend to be the least expense venue, just the cost of a permit and you on your way to having a beautiful location on a budget; however you will have to add the cost of rentals.
2. One of the things I love doing with the brides on a budget is I take them to the floral mart. This is an early appoint usually between 6:30 or 7:00 to see the greatest solution of flower. Floral vendors start as early as 4 am. Sometimes floral farmers also own florists stores, since they grow the flowers they usually have great ideas to arrange them. I even had one bride who had a lot of friends, we predesigned the table décor and they put the arrangements together the day of the wedding, however this is rare. The cost of the budget went from $10,000 to $300 for all the table décor. Good friends pay off big for weddings when you can get them to help.
3. Photographer is the areas were I do not recommend taking a shortcut or paying less. These are your lifelong memories and they can either make the wedding day fun or a long day, by interrupting the schedule. Just make sure of a couple of things. 1. The photographer must be unobtrusive. 2. He takes as many of the family photos prior to the wedding. All the bride and bridesmaid photos, bride and her family, all the groom and grooms men, groom with his family photos. If the photographer has an assistant it works better. Add in extra time between the ceremony and reception, where you can then take the whole wedding party photos. Let your guest mingle at the reception while you do this part.
4. If at all possible hire an event planner. They have experience in this matter and their goal should be to take the burden off the couple and family and let you enjoy the day.

Why Work From Home

In San Diego, the jewel of California, we ask ourselves, why we aren’t enjoying life; instead we are community to work.  If any of you have ever taken the San Diego Fwy to work, either south or north you look to the west and see our jeweled coastline, on a good day with its entire splendor.  It’s beautiful skyline.  The beauty surpasses all other things except for the beauty of the tropical island which I was born.  The days when the sun is just right and the sea glistens with the glory of all that is good you can see the splendor of heaven on our San Diego coastline, if you believe it can be seen. I do.  It is those days that one is thankful for living in San Diego and one can counts the blessings of what once was, will never be again.  Our youth, our pass and hope are in the future.

San Diego has the highest cost of living than any other state in California.  Did you know that on average the cost of living in our wonderful city is 8 per cent higher than the national average?  The cost of gas is 15.1 percent higher, coffee 20.01 percent higher, even pizza cost more here, 3.6 %.  Hawaii is the next most expensive state.  Sad but true that we work to live and live to work.  Employment is the most important thing we need to survive next to our family and belief system.

I use to tell my friends that my philosophy for raising my children was, God first, family second, employment third.  However, now that my family is growing, I question my own priorities.  Where they good enough?   Were they right?   Was I the best I could be not making money my number one priority?  I went from employment to employment trying to make my mom hood the best it could be.  I knew I would only have one shot at it.  I wanted and needed my sons to know how important they were and are to me.   I finally figured out that I could have both, my family and employment, neither would suffer.  Juggling became my biggest strength.  I could get up early, do my devotional, begin my bible study, get my children ready for school, call my clients, set appointment, afternoon run, shower and meet my clients.  Guess was it was a hectic life. But I loved it!

 If you asked me working from home, is highly recommended.  It allowed me the opportunity to balance my life that employers didn’t allow me.  I was able to be the best I could be.  Here is my advice to you, 1. 1. Passion:  Find something you love to do.  Mine is planning events; yours might and probably is different.  It is a great way to balance the life of a woman who has children.  2. Friends:   We need lots of friends to make our lives work.  In our youth we traveled in packs, remember that.  Our days with female friends who we loved to talk with and knew how to support our discussion and help us become better.   My girlfriends were mainly in my bible study prayer partners, but it doesn’t mean this is how it has to be for you.  They are the only ones, who helped me stay married, that is over so it doesn’t matter.  Life moves on.  Guess what find women that have the same moral value as you do.  You’ll be fine.    I survived.

Now you have what you love to do, and friends that will uphold you by believing in you.  3. Financial investment:  Some begin with a large investment; I preferred to start with little investments in what I was doing.  Believe in yourself.   4. Savings:  When you have made enough money, take out the original investment, put that in the savings and continued to grow the business.  For each new client I would put a percentage in savings and reward myself or one of my children with something we needed or wanted.  The rewards continued to grow.  The fact I rewarded my children with the profits, helped them to understand the importance of employment.

So when asked, do I recommend a home based business, the answer is yes!  Make sure you have high integrity!  Let your yeses be yes and your no’s be no!

Diamond Glamour Girls Finances

The first thing Susie Orman would say is that smart women know how much they can spend at any time of the day.  My advice would be the same overspending is something our society would encourage, the bible discourages or at least says to be wise about. People as a whole need encouragement from others to stay on target with the things they desire.  If diamonds or glamour are your thing then do it with class and stay conscience of your budget.

Susie Orman has a book out called “Woman and Money”;   you can find it on her website. http://www.suzeorman.com/index.cfm   It is a great book and I highly recommend it.  Even if you don’t like the idea of being smart with money at least consider you future and what you want for it.  There is also great software out there which can help you with all kinds of financials, for those of you like me who get encouragement from the bible in times of adversity try “Money Matters”; you can find this software at:  http://www.crown.org , it relates it to practical biblical truths.   Also Quick Books or Quicken are good to have.  Both of these offer assistance, depending on what you are looking for. 

Then when you have done this, knowing it fits into your budget, visit our website: www.mariakamon.com  MK Pure Diamond Events; diamonds to go with that perfect outfit for that special event you have hired us to plan.
