Cozy Bedroom, Weekend Chronicles, & My Gratitude to Bloggers

March 27, 2011

 Bedroom with a wall of drapes doubling as a headboard

Exploring Cozy Bedroom Aesthetics

Nice little cozy bedroom I think. I like the wall of drapes behind the bed acting almost as a headboard of sorts. Because I get absolutely no sleep during the week and just a little more than no sleep on the weekends, I often muse or should I say dream about comfy beds and sleeping!!! Note to self: make time for sleep.

A Fun-Filled Weekend and Social Media Jitters

So far it has been a good weekend. Yesterday I ran around all day and got nothing done…good times. Then I went to my friend CJ’s birthday party last night at Stark Bar. Iwearing the same clothes I was running around all day in. Party was fun. I kept ducking from being photographed though. CJ has a huge Nikon camera that she was allowing all of her friends to use to take photos of the event. I have this great fear of being tagged in photos on Facebook so I spent the whole night dodging and darting out of photos. It was quite ridiculous on my part. Between the hiding and ducking, I did catch up up with some friends I hadn’t seen in awhile…like dearest of friend AZ!

Expressing Gratitude to Jen Ramos: A Valuable Connection

Also wanted to thank Jen Ramos of uber blog Made by Girl for the nice post she did about a COCOCOZY throw. Jen also has a fantastic Made by Girl shop site where she sells fantastic prints, stationery and more. I emailed Jen about 9 months ago asking her who did her website because I needed some help with revamping my blog and building a shop site for me. She emailed me back almost immediately and told me that her “guy” (husband) did it (I point out her kindness in emailing me back because I had inquired to other fellow bloggers for recommendations and was met with a bit of a wall of silence). So I called Jen’s guy (husband) in a desperate panic (after a majorly failed attempt with another web designer) and he easily came to the rescue! Jen’s guy redesigned my blog beautifully and built my lovely COCOCOZY shop site. So as a thank you for her help in making the connection, I sent Jen a thank you present and she in turn put up a nice post just this last Friday (by the way Jen is one powerful blogger…if you could have seen how many more readers came to my site after she said a nice word or two…you would be amazed). Anyway, all of this to say…thank you twice over Jen! Thank you for the help 9 months ago and thank you for the nice thank you post!

Well today is design day for me…starting to think about new designs for the collection. Wish me luck.

Happy Sunday! Hope you have a wonderful day.

    Sounds like you had a great weekend! I thought that was so nice of you to send Jen the throw (which btw is on my wish list). Both of you are so nice and are wonderful bloggers. I hope the rest of your day goes well!

    Stunning bedroom. High contrast but soft with a gorgeous chandelier! I also really love the drapes behind the bed and the patterned rug. Good work!

    I have had the same issue with the whole”hey can I PAY you to help re-vamp my blog” conundrum. I guess no-one wants or needs to work cause I also have been met with quite a few un-returned emails..
    Love your blog!!!Love your new line!!!

    Gorgeous bedroom, but I’m SO curious as to what’s behind the drapes! Storage, creating a faux wall, or just the wall?

    I equate your wall of silence to people not giving out their babysitter’s number. They are afraid either the rates or demand will go up. I give out my sitter’s number.

    Love the pics today, too.

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!
