Every year, Valentine’s Day is almost certainly the most popular day for weddings and it’s no different this year. Couples would plan at least 6 to 12 months ahead. Yes, I can understand that as the big day draws closer, the stress starts to pile on.
Couples are getting smarter though these days. Who needs the stress just before the most important day in their lives, right? That’s why many couples are opting for destination weddings with wedding and honeymoon all rolled into one easy package.
Karisma Hotels is designed for dream weddings and get to enjoy the best of their big day with the least amount of stress. A wedding on the white sandy beaches of the Riviera Maya with music playing and the palm trees swaying under the moon? Man, that must be anyone’s dream!

I really don’t know where I’ve been except that it’s been busy, busy, busy around here. The weather’s been freaky so it’s hard to really plan anything outdoors. In fact, we haven’t even been able to take our puppy for his evening walks much. Weekends are spent recuperating from the crazy weekdays of ridiculously long school hours and the usual runaround.

It’s back to school days and now suddenly I’m home alone with plenty of free time to surf the net when I get tired of working my home business, that is.
One of the things I love to do is to read up on successful people because to me, that’s a really good way to find out the secret of their success. Lately I was reading about Alexander von Furstenberg, the Co-Managing Member and Chief Investment Officer of Arrow Capital Management, LLC, a private investment firm that deals with global public equities.
Alex von Furstenberg has a long history in the investment field having acted as Chief Investment Officer of Arrow Investments, Inc., a private investment office that functions solely to handle the Diller von Furstenberg family’s investment, since 2001.
Alex was instrumental in the restructure of a global luxury lifestyle brand under the name of Diane von Furstenberg Studio, boosting its annual revenue of $1 million to a whopping $200 million! Gosh, he must be some big-time business whiz!
He’s had such huge successes in the financial field it’s impossible for me to list them all here. Suffice to say, Alexander now manages The Diller – von Furstenberg Family Foundation with his mother, Diane, his stepfather, Barry Diller, and his sister, Tatiana von Furstenberg. Truly an exemplary family business

I just happened to glance at my calendar and noticed Valentine’s Day is just a month away. Whoa! Where did the time go, it was just New Year’s yesterday, no?
Anyhow, I love this whole idea of Valentine’s Day and heart shapes everywhere and people who would think up all sorts of elaborate gifts and ideas to impress their loved ones. Yep, I love watching soppy love stories with happy endings, don’t you?
I’ve heard of some guy who took out a cash advance to put up his wedding proposal on a billboard and buy 1000 roses and a diamond ring to propose to his girlfriend 
. No shame to that at all considering the state of the economy now, a little help never hurt!
OMG, I think it’s the most romantic thing ever! I can only imagine the look on her face when she drives by that billboard and sees their photo and his proposal up there! It’s the kind of stuff that only happens in movies, I think but to have it played out in real life is just too cool!
So what are your plans for Valentine’s Day? Will it be the same old bouquet of flowers, box of chocolates or have you got a big, crazy surprise up your sleeve?

Anyone planning any outdoor activities this weekend. Definitely not me, I don’t have any energy left after school started this Monday.
The kids and I are having a tough time snapping back to routine as we know it. The days and nights are hot and cold and it’s seriously giving me a headache I don’t need.
I hope the fun days return soon.
