TICKLED PINK IN 2011 – PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR!

December 10, 2010

Archive photo of best of friend Anne’s former New York Soho loft where pink was prominent! A pink wool rug from ABC Carpet & Home is center stage in this pink and white apartment! (above)

So have been trying to reach friend Anne to tell her that she is a clairvoyant. Pink has been her color of the year for pretty much all of her adult life…and now this year the Pantone 2011 Color of the Year is Honeysuckle – a vibrant reddish pink! Anne and so many of my friends LOVE pink. So now…it is their year!

Anne is now living in another great loft apartment in Soho with her husband John and their kids. The family has embraced pink that’s for sure. Pink is still a big decor player in their house…a pink bird cage, the wool rug (that I thought was a Madeline Weinrib…which I am sure I was told at some point…now I am being told “you just don’t listen”…but just found out it is from ABC Home & Carpet), Jonathan Adler Lampert sofas trimmed in pink, a vintage wrought iron glass table base painted pink, pink throw pillows and more!

Happy Honeysuckle pink 2011 everyone and Anne!

Happy Friday too!

P.S. Okay…here’s what’s weird…was up until 2:45a last night working with fab web designer MR launching redesign of blog (let me know what you think…)…and I told him I wanted to get rid of the famous COCOCOZY silver pig photo. We got rid of the pig. What’s funny is that I took that photo at Anne’s house years ago…and I just noticed you can see the same pig on the same table in this photo – the same pig who was my mascot for years. So I should embrace the fact that my silver pig will always be around to some extent!

    It’s going to be a long year for me – since pink isn’t really my fave – but I may change my mind after reading the Mary McDonald book and seeing this fabulous loft!! And too funny about the pig.

    I think the redesign looks great! And that room- adore!!! I was thrilled with Pantone’s pick- I’m a lover of pink so was definitely happy with the choice.

    I’m a little upset that pink is the new color! I have always loved using pink and it didn’t get as trendy as turquoise… I am sure with the new year it will be everywhere though… sigh…

    I totally miss your trademark silver pig. Reposition it if you must, but delete it? Tsk. 🙁

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!
