COCOCOZY AUDIO POST!

July 30, 2011
  • Share

My first audio post experiment! Oh boy. Take a listen! Nothing ground breaking here at all…but hopefully I’ll get the editing down to actually make these interesting to you.

This one is an audio post and it is just me saying hi to you for the first time. I was so clueless about editing that I just put up a bunch of pictures you have probably seen. I wanted to change them out but then I got scared that I would lose all of the audio. Oy va voy.

If you have patience with me and these audio posts…I plan to make them far more exciting and interesting (I hope). In the future I will be sharing gorgeous images and giving you my thoughts on design, style, fashion and much more (including a little more about me!). I’ll answer any questions you all email me or if you have a design dilemma send me a photo and I’ll talk about it and show it to everyone on my YouTube channel.

My voice sounds really weird and scratchy and I sound very serious in this one. Trust me I am not a serious weird voice girl…I just play one on my YouTube channel…LOL! I will admit though to the scratchy voice part…people have said I have a “raspy” voice (a guy I used to work with called me “Raspy” for an entire year).

You might ask (wisely) “Coco, why would you put up an audio post with old pictures and you sounding serious, weird and raspy”? My response would be, “It took me almost 2 hours to figure out how to even record a 2 minute interlude and then add in some basic photos…truthfully, I didn’t have the energy to do it all again” (= lazy). So much for the motto of “putting your best foot forward”…I just put my best weird raspy serious voice and old photos foot forward! Yoohoo! That’s the way I roll.

Happy Saturday!

P.S. Look forward to hearing from you!

    Awww I love it! It’s so great to put a voice to this website and oh please – you do not sound “raspy” as you put it! It’s an excellent idea! Good for you! Look forward to hearing more. 🙂
    P.s. I love the colour blocks in the pictures..makes me want to forget working today and lounge outside! 🙂

    What fun to hear your voice (not raspy at all). Oddly, you sound exactly as I imagined.
    Happy weekend, dahhhling!

    I have been working on video and I was terrified to try something new. I am so glad to see you are embarking on this adventure. I loved meeting you in Atlanta and it feels like you are standing next to me talking…I love that! Keep going and congrats on this next step in the Cococozy empire.

    Hi Coco ~ You sound great! My friends actually love my voice when I’m a little ‘scratchy’ and I’ve even heard some 1-900 comments from guy friends, so lets just say your normal weird scratchy raspy voice is a nice break from all the phony, perky, squeeky, fake, up-speak voices that are normally spread around….as for content, all good, even if we’ve seen it before but we would all love to see your FACE girl!!!! Great Idea for the audio…keep them both coming!

    I’m sure blogging will be heading more and more in this direction. Great photos. I just don’t understand why you’re being so mysterious about your identity!?

    I think it’s great that you are venturing out to audio. It seems most of us aren’t use to the way our voices sound when recorded, so I say good for you for stepping out! I so enjoyed meeting you when you were in Atlanta. You are just as delightful in person as you are on your blog post. Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us!

    HI Coco!

    I love your blog, your posts, your tastes, and the audio thingy was really cool! Plus, I love LA!!!!! I live in New Mexico and have a little 1/2 acre ranch house complete with barn and horses that I’m trying to fix up to be my girl pad. I am also a suit, so you are close to my heart with your executive job and your love of design. I have to throw in my love of animals since I have 2 horses, 1 pot belly pig, 4 bunnies, 2 guinea pigs and 4 lovebirds and a cat…. I hope I’m not leaving anyone out…. Plus, I want a totally groovy home. Thanks for the inspiration. It’s hard to remodel an old house on limited funds, but it CAN be done. Time and patience is key. I love your vision. Thanks for your blog! Sincerely, Veronika

Behind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOBehind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOCOZY bedding collection at the Welspun showroom in New York. Met with some buyers, had a fun time with the Welspun team, then capped off the weekend with a visit with friends. It is a long process to get bedding in stores across the country...showing the collections at textiles market is one of the first steps!
If you're interested in learning how I have gotten @cococozy products into stores around the country over the years including in major retailers...follow along...just one entrepreneur's journey. :)

Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celeb Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celebrate...I want to help.
I want to make a meaningful impact in our greater Los Angeles community suffering from the fires. I invite you to join me in transforming birthday wishes into support for one local organization on the ground in Pasadena/Altadena.
I have made a contribution today already to the LA Fire Relief Fund created by @victorybiblechurch in Pasadena. They are actively assisting families in need in both Pasadena and Altadena who have been affected by the devastating Eaton Fire.
Although I don't have a personal connection to Pastor DeCuir or the church, I was searching for an organization that is helping in the Altadena area. A well respected civil rights attorney I follow @leemerrittesq is on the ground helping the church members and community members with legal services in the wake of the fires. I hope by contributing to their efforts, we can extend a helping hand to those facing significant challenges during this difficult time
To donate, please visit their website at https://vbcpasadena.org/ (link in bio as well). Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and relief to those who need it most. Tell them you heard about them from me.
Your generosity to the Los Angeles community is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this freshHappy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m reminded of the beauty of starting anew and I like recommitting to goals at the top of the year. Nothing set in stone but just an overall vision of what I'd like to do and who I would hope to help along the way.
This year, my mantra is: **dream big, act boldly, treasure the small joys, continue to lead with kindness and to have as much empathy as possible for others **. Just a few things...😂
I’m also deeply committed to helping people who follow along to achieve their dreams. I'll be curating captivating interior design inspiration with COCOCOZY that will hopefully give you ideas and dreams for your own space. I will also be empowering you to realize the value of your influence with Chirpyest by earning cash back for sharing and shopping. I hope to be open about the journey of the COCOCOZY product line. I want to share real time behind the scenes how the line is being built and how we are growing Chirpyest; both examples of the not so linear journey of building businesses from the ground up. I hope these stories spark you to push your own boundaries and shake out of your comfort zones.
Lastly, in 2025, I’m committed to surrounding myself with people who have a positive vibe about them while striving to be that same light for others. Luckily, I have a great start on this with an amazing family and fantastic group of friends - a fantastic support network.
My wish for you in 2025: May this year bring you clarity, courage, and the confidence to pursue all that makes you happy.
What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 💬❤️
Let's get to this...am ready 2025!
