I won't be able to attend Utah's Breathing Space Retreat this year, so I'm sending Celeste in my place. Celeste is my uber-extraordinary intern who helps out behind the scenes with ads and sponsorships. Contact her at info@melissaesplin.com if you're interested in advertising in this space.
Hi there! I am so excited to share this post with you. I love Melissa's outfit posts (she's so daring with color and patterns) and I thought one relevant way to say hello and talk about the Breathing Space blogger retreat I'm headed to this weekend would be to feature my own.
Friday night at Breathing Space, we're attending a Stepford Wives dinner. If you haven't seen it, like myself until two weeks ago, it's basically about perfect women who run perfect households who are perfect vixens.
So pretty much the opposite of any free-thinking, creative woman (ahem, bloggers) and exactly what one might imagine living in the perfect homes of the Daybreak community, where the retreat is held. I laughed two hours later when I finished the movie at that. Clever retreat organizers.
To fit the bill, I pulled out this little lovely that I bought when I was still in high school and was convinced I could be the next Olivia Newton-John in Grease, before she sold out and got John Travolta-d.
Do I look like I might pull out a fresh batch of cookies? Build a pinecone snowman?
I'll be
