It's so close to the weekend, I can smell it...it kind of smells like prosecco. But we still have some work to do before the weekend graces us with her presence. Work hard, play harder, right?
The Let Me Check My Email printable is inspired by a long day full of tedious housekeeping, meetings, too-short lunches, and the person that comes by your desk at the end of the day and asks if you got her message...to which you reply, "Let me check my email." Sigh.
Now, you don't have to say a word! Simply print, frame, and point at your new sign whenever she asks for the umpteenth time if you responded to the office email about lunch tomorrow.
Remember, the weekend is coming...it's full of prosecco, sweatpants, and a brunch date for the ages.

There are certain occasions that call for a card: Mother's Day, Father's Day, Christmas, and of course, Valentine's Day. I remember folding the boxed valentines in elementary school, making sure my best friends got the best cards...and I saved the really good one for the boy I had a crush on.
Fast forward many years later, I still embrace the card-giving spirit of Valentine's Day. I definitely enjoy card giving with tons more chocolate, but I'm still picking the best cards for my besties.
To continue the tradition, here are four cards that you can give to your besties and lovelies. Print as many as you would like, and share them with others who need a last minute Valentine's card.
Click HERE for the free download. There are two pages (.pdf), with two cards on each page. A few tips: print them on some really good card stock, trim the edges, and get creative with your message on the inside. Seal them with your favorite heart sticker and VOILA! You've captured the magic from elementary school with a dash of adulthood.
If you're all about the belated Valentine's card, you will love the cards in the Just Lovely collection. Happy Valentine's Day!
]]>You don't have to worry with this collection! We've designed and created all the things that can celebrate love, like, and lust in the most festive way possible! Ok...I'll stop with all the exclamation marks.
But seriously, you can choose from cards that are perfect for your SO, family, friends, neighbors. There are new confetti and balloon products to decorate the loveliest of Valentine's or Galentine's Day parties. Don't forget your banner! And my favorite product of this collection is the Just Lovely clear mug. I mean, come on! It can either be sweet or sassy and it's the perfect gift! Done, done, and done (and the exclamation marks are back).
Click here to get shopping, girlfriend! This is the year where you will redefine Valentine's Day for the doubters.
]]>Gift guides are essential to this holiday season for the simple reason that we don't know everything. That's why I struggle with what to give my sister who loves to craft but also doesn't have time (or the attention span) to commit to a multi-day, multi-step project. Gift guides take the greatest ideas from the great minds and basically give us a shopping list. I like lists. I like completing lists. Perfect match.
Our gift guides are categorized by personality descriptions. You can get one or two things or *GASP* make a cute curated box with ALL THE THINGS! We're here to inspire you, so select a guide below and start checking off that gift list!
1. Hot Cocoa Bar by One Stylish Party
This week, we've seen our fair share of snowfall in Saint Louis, but I was ready for another fresh dusting after seeing this gorgeous hot cocoa bar by One Stylish Party. The color palette was fresh, neutral, and magical. It gives me all the marshmallow feels.
2. Pom Pom and Tassel Tree Ornaments by Announce Divinely
This week, we launched our yarn-tastic Pom Pom and Tassel Tree Ornaments. And I have set up a small tree in my office and FILLED it with decor, including these charming new additions. These make wonderful Friendsgiving gifts!
3. Insta-Inspiration from Allyson Dinneen @notesfromyourtherapist
All the feels were cued when I scrolled through @notesfromyourtherapist Instagram feed. I whispered "Amen" while reading so many of them. I bet you'll be inspired too!
4. Biossance's Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil
Y'all...I LOVE this face oil. It screams luxury and makes me feel like a grownup when I use it. My skin has a natural glow that makes me feel like I'm glowing from the inside out. And the bottle lasts a long time because you only need a few drops with each daily application.
5. Disney's The Nutcracker & The Four Realms
Since we're getting to know each other, you must know that I am a Disney fanatic. My sister and I will burst in song whenever we're around each other because it runs deep like that. I saw Disney's The Nutcracker & The Four Realms this past Sunday and I felt like I was transported to the actual lap of Christmas. The movie is absolutely gorgeous, the storytelling is amazing, and Misty Copeland is grace personified.
For more amazingness, check out each link. I've even made it easier by placing all this goodness on our Ebony's Obsessions Pinterest Board.
]]>It's November. It's the weekend. And that means magic must ensue. For me, that's curling up in my favorite sweater (did you check that off your October Confetti List?), picking something to binge on Netflix, and grabbing a bowl of kettle corn. You too?! OMG! If you have the coziness and show already picked out, but your popcorn game is a little tired, check out some of these awesome popcorn recipes below!
MAPLE BACON BOURBON POPCORN
Let's start off with the nitty gritty...Bake Your Day has given the world the answer to our sweet salty boozy cravings with this Maple Bacon Bourbon Popcorn! Let's face it...popcorn gets elevated when you bring bacon to the party!
CHILI AND LIME POPCORN
Even though the weather's getting cooler, we still need to spice things up a bit! Enter the Chili and Lime Popcorn by Killing Thyme. Don't be surprised if you find yourself putting down your pumpkin spice latte and grabbing a margarita!
BUTTER TOFFEE POPCORN
The laws of the universe state that if you combine butter, brown sugar, and salt, only good things will happen. And it gets even better because Brown Sugar Mama begins this recipe with microwave popcorn. Simplicity gets a whole lot sweeter!

If you want all the popcorn recipes you can handle, come see what's popping on our POPcorn board on Pinterest!
]]>I came up with The Confetti List after experiencing a case of FOMO...you know, fear of missing out. It's inevitable when you're mindlessly watching Instagram stories, right? So I'm sinking deeper into FOMO and I realize...why do I feel like I'm missing out? Oh, girl! It's time to create your own moments!
So I started a list to break out of the monotony of everyday life. Go on a picnic here...pick out a weird nail polish color there. And I shared it with my friends. The response was crazy! My friends and I would do something on the list, share it, and also be inspired to create more moments.
So I want to share this with you! And then you should share it with your friends! Because we are all about creating more good days, right? (Insert nodding heads). We are! I've linked The Confetti List below so you can have it near and dear. So start somewhere on the list, check off what you did, and send me a pic at party@announcedivinely.com OR post it on Instagram and tag us and hashtag it #ConfettiListAD. I'll be sharing how I'm checking things off too!
AND if you send us pics completing everything on the list, we will send you some awesome Announce Divinely products! Win-Win!
Oh, and if you want to make that random confetti toss AH-mazing, check out our Confetti Wands. They come pre-filled and ready for the party!
Have tons of fun!

O.M.G.! My fingers are flying across the keyboard right now because I am crazy excited about the launch of our new website! We knew that we wanted to provide a perfect party spot for us to connect with you! So welcome to Confetti Conversations! This is the place where we will talk about everything with a toss of confetti. So please comment and comment often! I love to hear "amen," "I know right," and "oh my goodness, ME TOO!" But I also live for the "why do you think that?" and "naw, not me because..." because that is how true girlfriends talk, right?!
So pour up your favorite cocktail, mocktail, tea, or coffee and let's converse...confetti included!
