Your bridesmaids will thank you!
Most brides struggle with the decision of what to give their bridal party as a token of appreciation. And for good reason, these women (and in some cases men) have likely cried with you, laughed with you and hopefully threw you an unforgettable bachelorette party and bridal shower. The list of items that work as possible bridesmaids gifts is virtually endless but I recently discovered one more. To put it frankly Triple B, Voluspa Ceramic Macaron Candles are the ish!

Triple B's resident bride-to-be Jene and her teenage daughter, Tylesha
Being a bride who is also a single parent to a teenager has its own unique challenges. My daughter Tylesha has been one of the biggest hurdles in my relationship. There was a time I was unsure if Shawn and I would survive Hurricane Tylesha. I was very young when I had Ty, so we basically grew up together. My Stinkey (my affectionate nickname for Ty – don’t judge me, LOL) was my shadow. We did everything together: vacations, restaurants, shows. You name it, we did it. While I did date, she was never privy to that, as far as she was concerned it was always “Mommy and Me” time. [click to continue…]

Song Bouquet offers couples a change to have a selection written just for them!
Confession: My very first “boyfriend” wrote all of the lyrics of A Teenage Love by Slick Rick on loose leaf paper and slipped it to me after school. I saved the papers for months and cherished them like my beloved Cabbage Patch Kids. Even I recognized waaaay back then that this gesture took a lot of effort. (Remember, this was before the days of simply turning to Google to retrieve the lyrics of a song.)
Fast forward to 2012. A talented group of folks has taken this concept up a few notches (okay, more than a few) to bring us Song Bouquet. This innovative company writes personalized love songs for anyone looking to express their feelings in a bespoke way. [click to continue…]

Triple B's resident bride-to-be is finding her way in the world of portion control.
Hey Triple B, I hope everyone’s week was well. As far as my diet is concerned, for the most part mine was great. However, Friday was a challenging day. I met some girlfriends for dinner at Carmines. If you are familiar with Carmines [in New York City] you already know their mammoth size family style portions of Italian fare can be any dieter’s nemesis. I handled it well, if I do say so myself. I gave myself permission to enjoy for the evening. Evoking an 80/20 rule of sorts, the Dieter’s edition.

Make sure your wedding reception is a night for you and your guests to remember!
Finding the right person to spin the right tunes on your wedding day is no easy feat. While some of you might go the live band route, most of you will opt for a DJ to do the deed. Generally they are less expensive and more accessible than bands. But as anyone who has ever attended a function where the DJ was less than average will agree, making a final decision on a wedding reception DJ can be stressful — until now.
Scratch Weddings, a company cofounded by the late Jam Master Jay of Run DMC fame, has launched a national service connecting couples with reception-savvy DJs. The music masters are divided by region on the site and you can even watch video snippets of the DJs you’re interested in booking. For your protection, all Scratch Weddings DJs are (supposed to be) insured. Many of their DJs have worked with the likes of The Black Eyed Peas and Lady Gaga but they also claim to have selections that will keep your Great Aunts and Uncles happy, too.
Nice! As always, if you contact Scratch Weddings be sure to mention the folks over at BlackBridalBliss.com sent ya.
Still looking for practical tips to help out when booking your wedding DJ? Look no further than this post!
