"Another great #WomenWednesday at Dirty Water! Thank you to Sheila Hackbarth for coming by and speaking to our lady guests and friends about our flight of @glenmorangieusa 10-year and Milsean. Women definitely love #whisky, supporting a great cause and motivating and inspiring each other. Please join us for the #wine focused Women Wednesday on May 4th with @tressaboreswinery and back to #whiskey on June 1st with @drinkmosswood Save the date! #event #nonprofit #drinklove #marketsquare #twitterbuilding #midmarket #sf" - via DW's Instagram.




It was an incredibly successful Women Wednesday event. Sheila did an amazing job chatting with majority of the ladies that ordered the flight. She is passionate, knowledgeable and so friendly that she said it was a really fun event for her. It was more casual and no presentation needed. It is always nice when your business partnerships find value and enjoy the efforts in these marketing events. She is so wonderful to work with. One guest took a great amount of notes on just the first pour.

I mostly let Sheila check in with each table but with the folks I did speak with, they said they loved the idea and it was incredibly inspirational. Some said they were grateful these events were always tied to a non-profit. 

I saf with the business sisters of the new The Caviar Co., Petra and Saskia, Blaine of IfOnly and Sherry Koyama of Harumi K. It was nice to hear the stories as young businesswomen of just starting, how they lead to opening a business and current struggles. Blaine provided insight that millenials today live by experiences that they can share and post via social media and that 'they will never own a house.' The thought of that was really scary. I love my condo and want to own a beach house someday. I guess I would say I am in the same boat in trying to make a living off my photos on this blog but I am not making it my sole priority. These ladies have something else in mind and it was nice to sit and learn from them. It really is empowering, inspirational and motivational to surround yourself with like-minded people. You can definitely learn from each other and feed off of each other.

I hope the next event is just as successful and reinforces the messages we are communicating. 

Way to go, Ladies! Cheers!

The Bad Girls Club & Love Games, Sarah Michaels, IS the Wellness Shot!

I became a fan of the Bad Girls Club when a Season 3 marathon was airing (in 2008, is it?) and I just had the television on while I was doing chores around the house. Every now and then I’d hear “*BEEP* you, you *BEEP*ing *BEEP*!”, some screaming and “This is the Amber Show” do-do-do-do-do-Doo! Eventually I was glued to the screen and not doing chores anymore and spent most of the day laughing and thinking “ohnoshedidn’t!” They were NUTS! I don’t think I could live my life with a camera following me around and for the whole world to see and criticize. But I kept on watching and when fights broke out, my boyfriend would hear the screaming from another room and ask “WHAT are you watching?!?” I am not one for reality television. MTV had it with The Real World with Pedro, Puck, Pam and whoever… when it was in San Francisco. (GO GIANTS!) With all these Big Brother, The Bachelorette and other shows popping up, there were just too many to pick and choose from to watch. And I was never a

My Most Engaging Post Yet

Christmas is just days away. A storm in the Bay Area has passed. Two holiday parties were a success. But these past 18 hours have been a whirlwind for sure. Yesterday evening, after dinner, in our home office discussing the home we are in process of purchasing, holding a gray box from The Shane Company , my boyfriend (wearing a black long sleeved shirt and his Adidas pants with white paint stains from painting the condo earlier this year, and I in jeans, my Toby Keith blue tank top from his Las Vegas “ I Love This Bar ” restaurant, my blue SFSU zipper up sweatshirt, and my brown childhood blanket draped over my lap) got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. “Yeah.” I hugged him tight and kissed him repeatedly. He was shaking and said “I can’t believe you said ‘yes.” I couldn’t stop smiling and crying and saying “I love you.” And I couldn’t help but laugh when I called him my fiancé for the first time. Wow, we’re really engaged! Since we were in the process of negotiati

It's Gonna Be May

I'm sure you've seen it. If you have a friend named May, the *Nsync memes are overtaking your Facebook and Instagram feed, right? Tomorrow ends the month of April and I was 10 posts behind the daily blog post challenge. For this Monday Motivation post, I will keep going until I reach that 30 count. Better late than never! May is turning out to be a busy month. Not surprising for this One Busy Bee. I finally have a set schedule for my part time job as a Concierge at the Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf. I really do like the job, what I'm doing, the hotel and staff, and how the time spent here contributes to my experience in the travel and tourism industry, all the while continuing in the hospitality industry as well. Working only about 30 hours a week, it will finally allow me to schedule workouts, get in some sort of sleeping pattern and work on my business as a Travel Agent . There is so much to do! So far since I received the month's work schedule
