FOUNDER + EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Joice MJ
Welcome to my page! I hope you find it inspiring.
I recently moved from Southern California to Washington State, living on a fifteen-acre ranch with a charming country house. I am an event specialist and a stay-at-home mom, choosing to work from home to be close to my kids. Hosting and entertaining friends and family at my home always brings me joy. I am also passionate about fashion, home decor, and flower arrangements. I enjoy DIY projects and try to create as many things as possible, from cooking to crafts, especially fresh flowers.
A little about me: I have been happily married to a wonderful man for 26 years, and we have two beautiful children. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and a certification in interior design. I became an Event Planning Specialist 18 years ago because I found it fun and fulfilling. This way, I can stay home with my kids while doing what I love.
This blog is my space to share ideas on party decor, fashion, travel, lifestyle, and everything else that inspires me. Please follow us on my daily activities!

Our Team
Anne-Marrie
Hi, please call me Anne. I'm a mom to two beautiful Maltese Terrier and one friendly and sweet American Bulldog. I love fashion but do not own many clothes, shoes, or bags. I also love to go out with my friends, and in my downtime, Malibu rum mixed with cokes is something that I'd like to enjoy while listening to music. But with a hectic lifestyle and working as a full-time Nurse, I love and always make sure to find time for traveling and to write it down my experience so you can enjoy and maybe inspire you to travel the world.
