Inspiration {the Golden Year}

August 26, 2013 · 2 Comments

Centerpiece InspirationA 50th Anniversary Gala is a milestone occasion, and for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tucson it’s a celebration of the years positively changing the lives of Tucson children. I’ll admit I found it hard to decide what I wanted to do for the centerpieces, since we didn’t really have a theme other than gold and purple, 50 years and children. Even with a small budget, we can create elegant pieces with lush bunches of baby’s breathe,  that can be submerged or wrapped around a bowl of floating candles. Submerged hydrangeas are just as simple, along with floating tall candles, that I’m considering for the other tables. Color InspirationIt’s been almost a year since I helped with this purple wedding, but instantly remembered it when I began creating the design for the upcoming gala. Lately, I’ve relied on Koyal Wholesale to make my events stand out like washi tape, submersible and votive lights with colored water and beads to mimic the look of lava lamps. I want to bring modern touches to retro style, with funky lettering for table numbers which will be significant years in BBBST’s history, and small touches in centerpieces to go along with decade like old records as backdrops for pictures of matches of that same year and peace signs!

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
