Birthday TV Show Casting Opportinities

Continuing my birthday theme this week, within the past few days, I've been contacted by 3 different TV producers who are looking to cast fabulous, chic, unique, outrageous or just plain over the top parties for 3 different TV shows.

One of which is for MTV's "My Super Sweet," which will air in the UK, Dubai throughout Europe as well as a number of other countries.  Their looking to feature amazing birthday parties taking place in the US for people ranging in age from 16-24 years old.  Another one of the shows that I was contacted for was exclusively for kids birthday parties.  The final show is a show looking to cast moms with big personalities who are throwing big (non-wedding) parties of any kind for their kid(s) (any age is OK).

Birthday Weekend Ski Trip

Wow...the skiing in Mammoth this past weekend was spectacular.  Mother nature was even kind enough to dump 6" of fresh powder the evening before our last day at the mountain...nothing better than skiing in pristine fluffy fresh powder. We've moved! Please join us at: Ariel Yve Design

Happy Birthday to Me!

It's my birthday...It's my birthday...I'm going skiing...I'm gonna celebrate..hey, hey!

Ok, so clearly it is my birthday today.  I'm actually not totally hating the idea of celebrating this year.  I feel great about where I am in my life and feel completely blessed to live where I live, do what I do and be who I be (am).

Rather than sulking (as I've so famously done years 18-26), I'm going to enjoy every second of this year.  I'm going to celebrate with a spring ski trip to Mammoth with my family.  I can hardly wait!  The thought of my trip makes all of my busyness this month entirely worth while and entirely manageable.  I'm probably just deluding myself at the moment, but I feel downright relaxed working my 12-16 hour days.

Anyway, I wanted today's post to be light, so I'm going to share a handful of my favorite spring cakes:

Jenna and Robert featured on Style Me Pretty!

This morning I received one of my regular "Google Alerts," but rather than one of the expected updates, I saw that Style Me Pretty's Little Black Book Blog featured Jenna and Robert's perfectly rustic Ojai Valley Inn wedding.  We've moved! Please join us at Ariel Yve Design

Friday Flowers: Garden Party

Wow!  It sure was a hot day here in Cali. 

Though it's still spring, it feels like summer is right around the corner.  Definitely outdoor entertaining weather....which leads me to today's post.   

If you're like me, you're probably planning to do a bit of entertaining this summer.  Here are a few casual chic outdoor tablescapes to get your creative juices flowing.

Wednesday Inspiration: Cinco De Mayo!

Ok, so I promised that I'd announce the winner of my Dream Garden Challenge over the weekend, but the winner opted to be the gracious bride that she is, and not take the prize because she already had her veil figured out.  Soooo....that means that I get to hold another contest : )  If you have any contest ideas, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Anyway, today is Cinco De Mayo!  In celebration of the holiday, I wanted to share this fabulously colorful rehearsal dinner created by Sunny from White Lilac Inc. (my favorite OC florist).  The last time I was in Sunny's studio, she was just getting ready to do this event.  She told me about her adventures of going down to a local Mexican market to pick up 100+ cans of beans, so she had the right vases/containers to fit her vision and how the store clerks were giving her the "stink eye."  I guess you had to be there...the way she described it was hilarious : )

Weekend Musings: Vishen Lakhiani

Ahhh, Sunday is here.  The weekend is coming to an end.  I hope that you're ready for next week to begin.

Today's post isn't about my typical frou-frou girly posts.  It is a post about the other side of my personality....a post about business, gratitude, and looking toward the future.

The inspiration for this post came from one of my Facebook friends, Vishen Lakhaini, who just shared these incredible video clips from one of his recent presentations. 

This guy is completely charismatic and passionate, yet grounded.  I was so impressed by his presentation at an event that I attended last year in Vegas, that he has gained a permanent position on my Dream 100 List...a list of my top 100 dream clients.
Whether or not you own your own company, you will gain some sort of extraordinary tidbit to incorporate into your life from the following clips.
