I had the time of my life...

February 20, 2011freshairboutique

Wow! Wednesday we are celebrating our one year anniversary! Can you believe it's been a year already? Sheesh, it felt like so long and yet it flew by... In 2010 I got pregnant, opened the shop, lost my mind, started this blog, had a baby, lost my mind, worked tirelessly, lost my mind and had THE best time during it all. Obviously when I was losing my mind, no one was having fun, but when I was doing it well, It was the best!

Freshair Boutique has been my brain child for as long as I could remember. During the ups and downs of the first year of business, I have learned so many things that have helped me grow and develop not only as a business owner, but an adult woman as well.

I know it's impossible to do, but I wish I could personally thank every single person who helped this dream of mine come to fruition. From the friends who just listened to the ones who helped me clean, the friends that gave their advice and the ones who wouldn't stop talking about 'Winnipeg's first green certified salon', my brothers who did everything and my parents who believe that we are something special, my husband who gives me sound business advice and my little ladies who I do it all for. I would like to say thank you and relay my gratitude to every single one of you . I owe it all to you...

Peace

Love to love you baby...

Here we are again. Another year has gone by and as soon as the Christmas decorations are out, the day of love decorations come in. It's funny, when you're single I think Valentine's Day holds so much more weight. When I was single I was never a fan of the day but I would always fantasize about how amazing that day would be. He'd show up at my work and sweep me up into his arms, then he would look deep into my eyes and tell me how amazing I was and how he couldn't live without me in his life. He then would present me with round trip tickets to Italy. Too much? Nah, I was single...it was amazing in my head. Whenever I'd ask my friends who were in relationships what they did they were so boring about it. "Nothing", "We just went for dinner", "We saw a movie", "We don't celebrate it..." What?! That's it?!! No swept feet and no round-trip tickets? Nope, never happened...it's ok O, I still love you... ;)

There is no right or wrong thing to do today because it's just another day. It's just another day to go to work, to get sick, to go to the mall, to run some errands, to insert-any-action. February 14th is just another day. I'm not against this day because I think for some people this day validates so much in their relationships. I'm not against this day because I think that it's nice to get a reminder if at least once a year to tell the ones we love. I'm not against this day because, let's face it, I'm married and will probably get a nice dinner out of this.

If you are single, just keep doing what you do (as someone who is in a relationship V day is ok, I like my birthday better)... That was a lame attempt to make it seem like today's not that exciting...did it work?... If you are in a relationship, you should do something even if it's just saying I Love You. Telling that special someone how you feel shouldn't be reserved for today only but all the days... So to the 'taken' and the 'not taken' - Happy day of Love!!! Muah!! XOXO

Peace
