Gotta Brag About Salon Blu Hair Salon in Cocoa Florida

Gotta Brag About Salon Blu!

This adorable hair salon is located in the same
courtyard as Cafe Margaux in Cocoa Village at 262 Brevard Ave. Ph. It's run by
two wonderful friends, Aimee and Mandy They have two additional stylist working
with them...Courtney and Amanda. We had a chance to get to know their skills
when this foursome came over and whipped up some awesome hair at our Ladies Nite
at the Studio in November...If you are in need of that beauty shop appeal...with
a high end sleek environment...give the girls a call....321-634-5988 Ask for
Aimee, Mandy, Courtney or Amanda.Based on the quick and
gorgeous hairstyles they were pullin off at our event...they really
should re-name the shop to the Little Miracle Shop of Hair! Check out the adorable photographs we took at our Ladies Nite at our Merritt Island Portrait Studio. I know I have been all over Brevard County in search of awesome hair...and I found it with this adorable salon. 

 

 

Having fun with my new discovery

LIke I said...I know most of you have figured this out eons ago...but this is awesome brand new to me...It works right into my desire to simplify...simplify...simplify...Also I wanted to post about our awesome Cocoa Beach Chamber Leads Club, called Contacts Plus. We hosted the New Partner Reception and it was a rousing success! I had the assignment to put together an awesome slideshow featuring all the members and their businesses. Igot the great idea to start offering these slideshows as part of our Promotional Edge Sessions for local small businesses...Local Small Business Commercial photography is HOT right now...and I am actually lovin it...every session is SOOOO different...and challenging as an artist...Last month I had the privilege of photographing the surgery robot at Holmes Regional...then a really nice person and  dentist, Dr Hilary Prill  and finally a beautifu lady, Pamela Marticke from The Avenue Viera. It doesn't hurt that I am currently creating the photography for the covers of three local magazines...and I might add...three of the BEST magazines in Brevard: County Florida 

Space Coast Medicine http://trendmag2.trendoffset.com/publication/?i=60047&page=1, 

Brevard County Mom's http://brevardcounty.momslikeme.com/members/homepage.aspx 

and WINC (Website coming)



 

WOW it works!

Wow that is way cool...I know I am an old lady when
I get excited that I can blog from my email...and it publishes both to the blog
and Facebook! And it added the photo too....Speaking of...isn't she an adorable
little stinker....That's Victoria.



 

Doin a little Test

So I am on this simplify...simplify...simplify
kick....and part of that is automation...so today I am trying out this handy
little feature that my blog company offers...I can email my blog entry...Huh! I
wonder if I can upload photos too?

Celebrate yourself

Busy Busy Busy...those three little words probably describe 85% of people these days...makes me long for times of old...When life seemed to roll a bit slower...I have recently embarked on a new project...because I want to replace those words with simplify simplify simplify! Easier said than done! BUT I think it is getting done. I spent some time re-defining goals and then looking at some of life's processes and analyzing whether they fit or not...and how I can adjust to make them fit better...it truly is like a diet...progress seems slow...and it can be discouraging...but I am committed to it...the final outcome is more than worth it...Thus far..we have a new and improved revamped daily schedule that includes important elements to that simple life...God, Family and Photography...Three more words huh! Oh I forgot...Me...need to add that between Family and Photography... I think alot of people feel selfish adding "Me" to their schedule...I know I do...but I also believe alot of us haven't been adding "Me" to their schedule...and so when the engine breaks down...the whole vehicle gets derailed...I saw this in real time with my mom when she was caring for my grandmother...my mom's "Me" disappeared...So can you tell today is a day to celebrate everyone in the family...including "Me."! I hope you will do the same and reclaime a bit of your "Me.".
smiles, Yvette
