How cute are these two? This was taken at the Hope for Haiti event that we sponsored last weekend. I have a SWEET giveaway for North County San Diego residents (well, anyone can participate if you want to make a trip here!) I am giving away $25 worth of Services to the Beehive waxing salon in Carlsbad, CA. InStyle 2009 named Beehive the BEST WAXING salon in San Diego! Nice. Now, you can go get yourself beach ready, your brows shaped, or your legs waxed. You can even get lash extensions (ooh, I LOVE the dramatic look of big lashes!) or sunless tanning. Who doesn’t love a good brow wax?

I found these on Etsy.com, my favorite place to buy handmade! The artist, Darline, is fantastic. I think this would be so darling at a wedding recetption.

I just love when creative people get in the booth, and these two are particularly entertaining.

Loca for LOCAL

A peek inside my basket from the farmer's market

What should you consider when renting a Photo Booth? The quality of the photo strips, the Photo Booth itself, and customer service are all things that you would likely compare. I am going to ask you to also consider renting LOCAL. Some Photo Booth companies offer nationwide delivery of their booths, but is this practice good for our environment or your local community? By renting from a local company, you are keeping your dollars in your community, supporting a small business, and saving precious carbon emissions from adding to the degradation of our planet.

So, what exactly does this have to do with oranges and fuerte avocados? It’s Thursday morning, and if you know me, you know that I’ll be at the Farmer’s market in Oceanside picking up the most delicious & fresh produce that San Diego has to offer. Supporting local farmers and local businesses is at the core of what I believe to be important. I do believe that you vote with your dollar, and as I go out to vote for my favorite organic farmers to stay in business, I ask you to consider adding “keep it local” to your list of qualifications when choosing vendors for your event.

A few fantastic sites regarding food are:

In preparation for the upcoming Bridal Spectacular this Sunday, I’m looking over all of the best of the best bridal booth strips we have- and loving my job.

What’s not to love about this? One of my favorite Mobile Photo Booth strips of all time. I love the way she uses her veil!

Who is that Photo Booth girl?

The family behind the Velvet Curtain

The Photo Booth Family:

Photo Booth Girl: that’s me! Photo Booths hold the same magic for me as French films and coffee. I can’t get enough. If I’m not working on photo booth geekery, you’ll find me riding my bicycle, yoga-ing, or playing with scissors & needles (sewing).

Photo Booth Guy: That handsome fella on the left- he’s the one to make my Photo Booth dreams come true (and a great amazing husband). He’s also a Budokon Sensei & Massage Therapist!

Photo Booth Bug: (aka Little e) loves the Photo Booth, weddings, puzzles, and the color purple.
