The Battle of Ages

Hi there,

I recently posted a tweet of a blog that talked about the children who are now young adults who where are called Millennium. They think out of the box. Trying to make a name for themselves. Money, desire and understanding escapes the realities of generations before them.

I have my opinion and and my professional magazine has there. Firsts let's discuss what the industry has addressed.

Photograph from pixel.com

1. Millennials believe that businessmen focus on their agenda rather than society.
2. They don't feel like they are being utilized correctly in the workplace.
3. They enjoy watching things on-line and don't understand why they are not invited to the event they are watching.
4. They enjoy attending an event tweeting about it and finding other was to make additional income frome corporate sponsorships.
5. They grew up with technology. Therefore they are faster, better and more trusting of it than many of their supervisors and employer.

Therefore, I believe it is perceived as a sense of self importance. Here is my personal opinion.

1. The technology change has made Millennials feel independent very early in life. Technology although important can give a person a since of unspent before they are capable of understanding the full meaning of what that means and the responsibility of it.

2. Baby Boomers as they are called were born after their parents were in war. This was a time to be cautious, have self control and plan a strategy for success. It was never handed to them and they learn not to expect it. Life was hard.

3. I believe the lack of history being taught in a way to evoke compassion in society causes gaps in understanding of different generation. Therefore, the gap between Millennials understand why Baby Boomers aren't social. Baby Boomers don't understand the need for there constant need.

This puts to question parental rights. Are you as a parent taking responsibility for your child's social. Teaching what is appropriate for the child to do on their smart phone or are you using it as a babysitter so you can get things done? Is it like the TV generation? Was to other generations?

Now we have a generation of YouTubers who feel that they have to document their next generation on YouTube. Very much like I Love Lucy! If you didn't grow up watching that TV show. It is the story of a couple starting their lives together and trying to keep up with the Jones! In this case the Mertiz's

The realty is anything you enter a workforce you will discover that you have strengthening and weekend. I assure you both generations have more in common than what you might think.

1. A deep desire to succeed.
2. The need to prove you can and will accomplish the goal to your best ability.
3. The need to win or be right.
4. The need to be respect,  be paid, and succeed.
5. The need to not be abused, discriminated against due to age, generation, color, race, creed, sex.
6. The need to be heard and understood.
7. Accepted for who they are.  Don't we all need this.

Making Money Blogging in the City

Hi there, Reader;

The city full of lights is no fun for a woman without money. One of the ways I make income to financially support myself, family and my business is blogging. Not only blogging for other people, thanks to technology,  I not only had to learn to write again, I had to learn a whole new language. Computers took typing to another level in business. Then cell phones to getting away from work almost impossible. Meeting the girls for lunch was always intruded by my executive calling with what I considered a question he already had the answer for, he just needed me to get back early from lunch to help in with the work load. Yes, the load no one wants to carry.

City life is just one of those things. What can I say, then the discovery of being able to be paid while I  worked from home. What is it really that is so alluring that calls us to get out of the city lights and into living a better kind of lifestyle. One where you are no longer blamed for all the little things. Well, maybe that's no exactly true. If your a woman you'll be blamed anyway. It goes all the way, back in time because Adam became jealous or envy Eve because the serpent Eve to her first. Or was it that she made him eat from the apple first. Either way, does it matter, there is enough blame for the whole world because of that moment of lack of taking responsibility for ones actions.

Back to the subject of blogging and make a living for oneself. It takes time, discipline and money. Here is how you go about making money for yourself.

A blog is a discussion or an informal website published world wide. It can also be used as a verb to maintain or add content to the maintain blog.

1. Choose if you will be making you blog heavy with photographs and little text. It can also be heavy text and little photographs.

2.  Start thinking about what type of blog your going to write the niche. Will you allow your advertisers to be contravercial or not. Because I was cam. Teacher, Planner, a Public Speaker I choose to keep my advertisement not contravercial, therefore it has take longer to build y following. I have grown my following organically. Like whole foods. It might take longer to cook, in the long run it's healthier for you. The choice is yours. The

3. Then you have to educate yourself with the different type ads. Blogpost.com is excellent about helping you learn thefactswiththeir amazing blogs, updates and seo assistance.

2017-2018 Fashion Season Is Here!

Micheal Cinco

 

This is my number one pick for this year's fashion season.

I love this formal wear this season and his whole collection is just so impressive.

1. Choice of colors.

2. How he mixed the mixed the old with the new. He took something like a princess look and then he added fur throw. Did you see the beading on the dresses. I can't believe his only been around since 2003.

3. How elegant to step into your ball wearing a fur around your arms

4. He added male dressed in the era. He also created a look more casual, still in his style for himself.

5. He included somehow the most Godly of paintings in he like of clothing. Creative and earth bound.

6. I can see myself mixing some of the accessories and making a more casual wear. Meaning I think some of his piece can be mixed and matched. How great would the headband look with a casual pair of pants, white blouse and one of his vest. How a out this put on elegant dinner dress and grab his purse. What's gentleman doesn't look better with a well dressed woman at his side.

7. Now all I need is a.) The money to purchase one of his gowns. b.) The invitation to attend an event where I would need such an event.

You Tube

Hi there, Readers;

I never thought I'd say this. You Tube is now what most of you have known for years, a great way of obtaining information for the things you want to do and don't know how to. Here are some things I have used you tube for.

1. Experience information on computers and which to purchase.

2. Photography equipment, how to use and which one has the best rating from experience of an individual vs the statistical information.

3. House shopping. Although I still haven't found the one I want. I do have more knowledge now on how to go about finding one.

4. Different and creative ways to use a planner.

5. Product Research. Ways to get practical product knowledge before I purchase. This information is practical. This doesn't mean I wont.purchase the product I want because a YouTuber doesn't like it. It does mean I will have caution and hesitation when purchasing it.

6. Budgeting To learn what personal budget app works best. Which one tells all the secrets.

Yes, it's true. This isn't the typical blog for business, it is one that is true. YouTube is a business and making many young people experience a different type of employment and I can't wait to see what they grow into. As they mature.

Wedding MBA 2017

Wedding MBA 2017


It's almost time for this years Wedding MBA from the sound of what I have been reading they changed things up a little.

The two main speakers are David Tutera, I know I have seen some his place settings at Macy's for sale. He is a Celebrity Planner. That you'll prove to been interesting talks to listen too. However, this is true about any main speaker that the Wedding MBA brings into town to education professional wedding planners. From what I read one of the things he will be dishing on is his own wedding. Hum... Will he be talking about the Joey Toth his newlywed? Maybe he will stick to the facts of what it was like planning his Old Hollywood Themed Ceremony "Love is Love". Who doesn't like old Hollywood ? The glamour, romance and the staging is to make any planner wish they we planning weddings in an era that was so glamorous . It should be worth the time to effort to attend just to hear his story and applying it to your own business.

The other speaker George Zimmer on the subject of "Keeping Your Wedding Business New." a subject that is always on the minds of wedding planners. After one plans so many weddings one has to think that each person is an individual and therefore deserves the attention as if it was the first wedding you plan. Founder of the Men's Wearhouse and one of my favorite place to send young men to by a suit or tuxcedo. Why? One and first is the way they fit the suits and tuxedos on men. They take something that is uncomfortable for a young man and make it comfortable. Many of the men I have sent to get a fitting for their first day. It is the first time they have to wear a suit or tuxcedo. Secondly, pricing, there pricing can't be beat. How does retail relate to weddings?

Other topics:

• Say Yes To The Dress (Faster)
• Bridal Gown BluePrint
• Love At First Sight
• Midnight Madness
• Avant-Garde
• Gown Shop Face Off
• Dress Up Your SEO
• Want Not Wear Not

Then they have several parties planned. I have to tell you. From reading the program and invitation it more geared towards the retailer than the planner.

My recommendation is that before you sign up make sure what your signing up for.

I did enjoy the training and certification I received during the conference I attended. However, the topics were geared towards the planner not the retailer. Please call the Wedding MBA and find out their intention. That's the best advice I could share with another industry professional.

Corporate Incentives Series #4 2017

Hi there, Reader;

My number four choices are two watches that are new on the market. I apologize for not having photographs. I contact both theses companies and am waiting to hear back. I hope you know by now I have do not represent either company and therefore the view expressed are my own.

The first is a trendy new watch that is on the market that is perfect for the young professionalism. The young professional will look clean, neat, sharp and ready to get the job done. It's not computerized like others on the market and I have a repeat for both of these watching for not doing that. Why? There is a difference between wearing a computer on the wrist vs a watch.

The first watch I'd like to discuss is Marchetillo Gioielle. It's one Diamond and selection of bands along with the colors is for the young sufisticate I believe it will look good on the arm of any business or casual dressed person.

The next watch on my list is a watch called Envy. It will truly be envied, with the more cause and active wear person. I think this watch would not only look good on the are of a young professional. The look is more the casual and for the active wear person verses the business suit person.

Both are excellent choices. However, because the companies did not write back. I am not sure if they have an incentive buying program, therefore you will have to contact them directly. As soon as I have the information I will post it.

Thank you for reading this blog. Please click on an ad to help us get to the next level. Subscribe, leave a comment if you know of a product you think will be a great incentive purchase. Please read the disclaimer on the contact tab.

Corporate Incentive Series #3 for 2017

Hi there, Reader;

This one I will be writing about is one of my favorites. I am not currently sponsored by this company, however I am not apposed to it. I would like to discuss is the Sony series cameras.

I have been an amateur photographer for many years and am always trying to improve my photography. Their has never been such a greater photograph taken than with my Sony Camera. I apologize I don't have any photographs of the Sony series.

I am currently using the Sony 5000 a gift from my son. He thought he would simplify things as I got older what he didn't realize he did was created a creativity within me and desire to improve the skills I already have. Plus he taught me how to vlog, something that I had never heard of. Then to discover I could vlog and shot a photograph at the same time brought it to a whole new level. I honestly think their cameras take photography to a whole new level.

Now they have come out with a whole new series I can't wait to experience taking photographs with. The potential for the receiver of this camera is exceptional. I know if I would of received this gift from my corporate life experience, I would have used it to enrich both my personal life and my workplace.

When Life Steals Your Shoes!

Hi there, Reader;

Have you ever been around the water color at work, talking to co-workers, enjoying the moment? In that blink of an eye you catch a glimpse of a woman shoe you like. Boom, without thinking you complete her. Suddenly, your the bitch that covers the other woman's life and out comes a cat fight.

I have to tell you it is always assumed we what what the other woman has. How does one overcome and stay employeed? Honestly, I don't know, I'm unemployed so to speak. Just joking. I would venture to say when a cat fight breaks out amongst woman a dog wanted to be enteretained.

Seriously, here are a few Coping Skills. I am assuming your standing there watching it all and don't want to get involved.

1. Don't make any comments on the subject. Agreeing with either side is taking a side.

2. Make an excuse.and go back to your work place responsibilities.

3. Buy a cute pair of shoes for yourself and sees who comments on them.

4. Be bold and your opinion and then get ready to stand your ground.

5. Play it cool. At like it's no big deal and go about your business.

6. If you know who the dog is...go talk with that person and see if you can get a. Promotion, b. Pay Increase, C. A letter of recommendation for a new employment (only when you know it's going to get ugly.)

7. My though is cat fights are never beautiful and in the workplace you are always responsible for your behavior not the behavior of others. Be your best self. Be Bold, Be Beautiful, Be Yourself!

Cinco De Mayo Encinitas Styles

I thought I would write some ideas for

Those of you who don't want to go to Mexico, just to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

History:

During the "French-Mexican War  there was a

Moral Victory at the Pueblo in response the French, Britain, and Spain set naval forces to demand reimbursements. Britain  and Spain Negotiated with Spain and withdrew, but France rule by Nepoleon lll decided to carve a Mexican Territory out o Mexico. The French stormed in the landing and forced the President and his Government to retreat! 

Today, Mexican celebrates the anniversary of the "Battle of Puebla as Cinco de Mayo, a national holiday in Mexico. (Read the History Channel for details) 

Ways for Families to Celebrate "Cinco de Mayo"

When you have young children and what to get them interested in History, and the reason we celebrate holiday,  food is naturally a part of it.

Encintas Best:

1. Best tortillas in El Napalito, great food eat in their Resturant or take home. Not sure if they still have their store, definitely worth checking this place out.

2. Juanita's Taco Shop love this place! You surf? Large portions and perfect after surfing when you are hungry and need a big meal. Cinco de Mayo is a perfect time to try the food. Mainly take-out. Few tables where you can eat in. The burritos are excellent!

3. El Callejon next to Leucadia pizza parking is limited and the food is delicious. Call ahead it will be busy tonight. Food is delicious , not sure if they serve take out I've always eaten in.

4. Korina's Taco Shop They have a few seats for eat in and what I love about this place is their variety. Mainly, I personally like you can order the food you want pick it up and it will still be warm when you get it home. Excellent taquitos aka rolled tocos.

5. Garcia: The newest Resturant in town, haven't tried this one yet, every time I've stopped by the parking lot is full and there is a waiting period. Make reservations call ahead!   

These are my top picks for 2015 Cinco de Mayo celebration!
