Jomygoodness has moved

It's 2010, so the new blog is http://www.jomygoodness.com/blog

Although it is still under construction, and tweaks are still being made, I thought I would stop double-posting & allow you to comment on that site.

Ready or Knot

All the details have been decided, but the last-minute preparation for your big day can bring about the most anxiety.  Don't get antsy, and just take a deep breath.  Relax, and trust that your preparation leading up to this moment has made it another beautiful day.  Ready or not, you're tying the knot.

Jomygoodness is digging Colette Komm

 

I'm very much digging Colette Komm's couture collection.  There's just something vintage and something goth, yet something romantic and something passionate about the dresses.  It's something I've never seen before, yet something familiar.  I'm loving it!

Movie Monday :: My Big Fat Greek Wedding

I'm sure all you brides have had this moment.  Each time I see this scene, I get fired up with lots of frustration.  I growl just thinking about it.  I must say bless their hearts for taking the initiative of helping out, ordering the invites (misspelling the Mother of the Groom's name), picking the bridal party accessories, and the bridesmaid dresses!  But come on!  The control freak in me would push me to elope.

Who stepped in & made decisions, not with, but for you?  How did you handle it?

Mix It Up #63 {Bonus}: Santa Baby

I was totally loving the Mascara Fizz for this week's Thirsty Thursday, but I had to feature the drink we will be having this evening, in celebration of both my birthday & the holiday.  It's called Santa Baby.  Don't you love it?  It's super easy to make.  I will have photos for you soon, promise!

Santa Baby

	5 oz champagne 1 oz Chombard  5-6 pomegranate seeds
	Combine the champagne & chombard in the glass of your choosing, and add 5-6 pomegranate seeds to the drink.
