This weeks' feature blogger is Jomylene Flores, a Southern California inspirational designer and the owner of the full service event management boutique, Jomylene Flores Events. I met Jomylene last March while on a business trip to L.A. I immediately saw what so many others, including the team at Martha Stewart Weddings, see in her and her chic blog. I absolutely love her Thirsty Thursday posts where she features a new cocktail recipe each week. A lover of all things swanky, she's a girl after my own heart! You can check out her fabulous blog here!
What did you want to be when you "grew up?"
I desperately wanted to be a reporter/newscaster/author... so having a blog is kind of fitting!
What's your favorite personal mantra, quote, or inspiration?
I'm a firm believer in karma and what goes around, comes around. Therefore I try be on my best behavior and treat others the way I want to be treated. I have several quotes that I remind myself everyday, but my favorites are: "It is better to be hated for what you are, than loved for what you are not." And "It is better to fail in originality, than to succeed in imitation" (Herman Melville).
Tell me about your favorite blogging moment?
I don't really have a favorite blogging moment, but the things I love best about blogging are:
1) when people contact me, or leave a comment, about how a certain post relates to their lives. It reminds me that someone actually reads it.
2) when I meet people (brides or industry folk) who tell me they read my blog. It's really flattering. Savvy Note: Always show your favorite bloggers a little love...leave them a note! It means so much to us!
Aside from your own, what's your favorite blog?
There are sooooo many blogs out there that I read all the time. I'd have to say that Hostess with the Mostess' Blog has to be my ultimate favorite, but I enjoy Wedding Chicks, Inspired by This, Style Unveiled, Style Me Pretty, Snippet & Ink, Grey Likes Weddings, and Inspired Bride.
Do you wear your heels or slippers while you blog?
Depends on the day... sometimes heels, sometimes slippers, sometimes socks (but only when it's cold).
What's your biggest pet peeve?
For some reason, I don't like being referred to as a "Party Planner," even though my events can be considered as "parties."
What’s on your nightstand at the moment?
Brides magazine, Martha Stewart Weddings, a notebook, and Vision in White by Nora Roberts (just started to read the series).
What’s your sign? What 3 characteristics of your sign do you possess?
I am a Capricorn, through and through. I'm very ambitious and do whatever it takes to get the job done. I'm very competitive and work hard and expect the same hard work and dedication from those around me.
Tell me about your favorite cocktail?
I will always order Sex on the Beach or Rum & Diet Coke. Always.
What’s the one food you can’t get enough of?
I looooove food, but the one thing I can eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day would be Mocha Almond Fudge ice cream. Sad, but true. I also love cheesecake, California Rolls, pasta, and calamari.
What’s in your handbag currently?
Mascara, lip gloss, wallet, iPod shuffle, black nail polish, RayBan aviator sunglasses (my faves), a notebook & pen and wedding magazine.
