Happy Wednesday, everyone! Today, I’m handing the reins over to Tamra from the always charming blog Walks with Bella. Tamra is one of those bloggers whose passion, energy and love for life are so apparent in her everyday posts. I love reading about her adventures as a New Yorker and a traveler (her photos and descriptions of a trip to Italy this past summer had me green with envy!), and of course, her insights into all things fashion and interiors. Tamra plans on opening up her own event planning company next year, and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with!
Tamra, 28
New York City
Hunger games: My fellow Twihards and Dragon Tats tell me this is a must read.
If you have to cry, Go Outside: Always up for some words of wisdom.
The Paris Wife: Heard rave reviews, can’t wait to crack it open.
The Happiness Project: Find more happy? I’m in!
My husband and I have been married for a little over a year now and we always said that we would dedicate the first five years to just us two and then focus on growing our family. I couldn’t be happier with our five year plan and I really look forward to starting a family in 4 years. :) I recently started an event planning and styling company, so the next five years will be extremely excited as I grow ever swoon LLC. Lastly, in five years I hope to continue dreaming, volunteering, visiting friends and family, meeting new friends, and living life to the fullest.
I’m currently working on officially launching my event planning and styling company, which everyone will be hearing about very very soon! Official website to go live in winter 2012!! Be on the look out for ever swoon LLC updates!
My other smaller goal, which is difficult to focus on when starting a company, vamping up and styling our home. Ever since I started working from home, I want to change everything!
My company. Seriously. I dream about it all the time! Everything I want it to be, everything it needs to be, and all the dreams we will make a reality for others. :)
Bella is my almost 7 year old boston terrier and she is the heartbeat at my feet. I take Bella on several walks a day (she has a tiny tank) and everything seems to slow down just a bit when I’m walking her (she sniffs a lot.) In the fast pace city I live in, she reminds me to stop and enjoy. It is easy to get caught up in life, and she reminds me that I’m living my dream (moving to nyc and “making it”).
The blog world!! It is amazing how much my life has changed since blogging and I’m inspired by each and every person behind such amazing blogs. I’m so grateful for the friendships I’ve made and the network of inspirational women in my life.
Making it in NYC.
Hmmm I’m not exactly sure if these two go hand-in-hand together. My favorite place to relax is anywhere on a beach, but my favorite place to re-charge and get my creative juices flowing is with my “girls” together we create a great think-tank.
I started blogging in February of 2011 and my life has been forever changed! When I started walks with Bella, it was, like for many others, a source for a creative outlet. It then evolved into so much more as I started creating a network of incredibly bloggie friends. I had no idea people would want to walk with Bella! But OK, sure! There might be some poop along the way, but I appreciate the company! I’m am so grateful to get to know so many like minded spirits through blogging. The love and support added fuel to my wanting to start my own company fire. I’m inspired each and every day, which is we continue to share our walks with you.
It is such an honor to be featured on the Behind the Scenes series. When Victoria first emailed me, I thought to myself, “Me, she wants to feature little me? Really? Oh WOW, this is HUGE! I can’t believe it, what am I going to wear??!?! :)”
