WEEKEND PHOTO: TULIPS!

Flower arrangement with orange tulips and wild grass
Orange tulips and wild grass at my house. (above)

Sorry I haven’t posted in days. Had a rough week and wasn’t feeling well. Am back and better now.

I made this flower arrangement yesterday and thought you might enjoy – even if it is just for laughs!

Is this “arrangement” ugly or pretty? You tell me. I am leaning towards pretty in an ugly sort of way. 🙂

All I did was take long wild grass and wrapped it around the inside of a glass urn, then plopped in 20 orange tulips in various phase of bloom, and then threw in the rest of the grass. A disorganized modern classic floral arrangement mishmosh I think. Arrangement is a big word for these flowers as I did no arranging at all. I just put them in the urn and you can tell!

Here’s the only thing I will say…no matter how little you do with tulips or flowers they still brighten up a space and make me smile. So regardless if it is objectively ugly or pretty…these flowers hit the right emotional chord for me after a really rough and tumble week…

Still, I am interested to hear your amusing comments on these flowers though…need more laughs!

Hope you have a great weekend!

    Simply lovely! I make myself an arrangement at least once a week. Get’s me into a creative groove, smells good, changes the pace of the room and puts a smile on my face all at the same time.

    Glad to hear you are feeling better!
    Enjoy your weekend ★´¨)

    They’re beautiful although my eye was instantly drawn to your great furniture piece, white walls and table runner. What an awesome room

    I love it! Wild and free — just the way tulips and grass should be. Just the way we should be! Love the room and runner too. So glad to hear that you’re feeling better.

    Love the grass at the bottom, but not in the vase around the tulips. Maybe I’m not wild enough.

    What an awesome room! Love the decor.

    I like the idea of your arrangement, and how you bundled the grass at the bottom of the vase. Maybe bundle the tulips too next time, and throw in additional grass so there’s both a more organized and whimsical feel to it?

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!
