. Special .
you know... there are some people in this world that just really know how to make you feel so special (and if i could make the word 'special' sparkle & shine to emphasize it, i would!). be it in the words that they say, the cards/letters/notes/emails that they write, the actions they make, or the thoughtful gifts they give.
i have been incredibly blessed to have such amazing clients throughout the years -- many who have done one or all of the mentioned above on more than one occasion. every single time something like this happens, i always think to myself, "i really should blog about this!" --- because it made me feel SO special & i wanted the world to know how very special these people who thought of me are.
a little while ago i shot an esession for a very dear couple, Chelsea & Dan. in fact, i have mentioned them before on this blog (to see that post just click here!). when Chelsea & Dan first contacted me about their wedding, i knew from the very first email that they sent me that we were going to click -- they are super-uber open, warm, welcoming, geniune & loving people. the type of people that just make you smile with their presence.
when i shot their engagement session (stay tuned cause that post is next!!!!), we talked about all sorts of things (truly!
) & one such topic was Chelsea & mine's infatuation/love of CO Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine from Bath & Body Works. side note --- if you haven't tried this product before, you really need to treat yourself to one SOON! they are absolutely the best... great moisturizer for your lips, along with a minty fresh breath taste! --- end pitch.
it was at this time that Chelsea mentioned how much she really loved CO Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint because it gave you the perfect amount of tint on top of all its other wonders! i told her i was going to have to check it out and onward we moved with our many different conversations that day.
it wasn't too long after that that i received a package in the mail with an amazing card from Chels & Dan in thanks for a fun esession, as well as a CO Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint in the color Violet Mint ---- it was then that i had one of those "omigosh i feel SO special! i really need to blog about this!" moments.
unfortunately, i ended up not blogging about it because i started to really second guess myself as to whether or not i should.... i think at times i forget that my blog is my life's work and personal journal.... lately that personal part has been a wee bit neglected.
so when i received yet another most awesome package in the mail just yesterday from Chelsea & Dan (see below -- can you even believe that terrific packaging?.... & you should see how adorable the inside of the card is too!):

(and yes.... that is indeed a whole assortment of mini CO Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine along with mini candy canes (oh how i *heart* mini things so!))....
...i knew that i had to blog about this... i wanted to shout off of the rooftops a big "THANK YOUUUUUU!" because that is how overwhelmingly wonderFULL my heart felt.
it is the fact that they thought of me, that they took the time to decorate & write some of the sweetest words i have ever read... the fact that they slowed down enough this holiday season to show the love they feel.... that is something so special, just like the two of them.
so, as i stop with my ramble (as i could easily go on & on!), i hope Chelsea & Dan's gift of thought, more so than any material part, serves as a reminder to us all this holiday season to slow down & soak it all in. many of you most certainly will not need this reminder.... however, i know i sure did.
thank you Chelsea & Dan! thank you for being the beautiful, heartFULL people that you are. it is no wonder to me that you are each other's soulmates.
happy Sunday my friends,

Back to all postsit is the fact that they thought of me, that they took the time to decorate & write some of the sweetest words i have ever read... the fact that they slowed down enough this holiday season to show the love they feel.... that is something so special, just like the two of them.
