Thursday Treats – 26th July 2012: Hello Sunshine!

July 26, 2012

‘Dope’ Swimsuit

Wow, what a scorcher this week has been! I ain’t complaining (honest!) but my productivity has gone waaaay down. That glorious sunshine outside my window has just been too darn tempting. I did purchase the brightest neon orange dress known to man though. I am seriously excited to wear blind people in this baby!

I also found out this week that I’m going to be featured in Cosmopolitan Magazine! I don’t usually mention my press features here anymore but this is a really exciting one. I’m going to be profiled in their ‘So you think you want my job?’ section and oh boy I can’t wait. Squeeeeeal!

But the biggest news of the week is that a truckload (literally) of copies of issue two of the Rock n Roll Bride print magazine are being delivered to our house tomorrow!! I know, I KNOW It’s taken so flippin’ long to get this project completed but oh boy it is gonna be worth it. I have a new found respect for anyone in the magazine industry. How they manage to pull together monthly editions is beyond me! Issue two is bigger, better and even more glorious than the first. Again, we’ve ordered a limited print run, so be sure to pop by the blog 9am on Monday to find out how you can get your hands on a copy! HOLY GUACAMOLE I MIGHT EXPLODE.

So I may not have got much actual work done this week, but I have found the time to scour the internet for some of the most clicky links around. Grab yourself an (iced) coffee and enjoy…
