The tracking history below best explains my rant about UPS:

Track your package

I ordered two items from Amazon.  One was shipped via USPS (the post office), and the other via UPS.  I received the item via the post office February 27 regardless of weather conditions.  The item via UPS was delayed twice.  I don’t understand why it was delayed the second time when the weather was fine.  Shipment date was changed from February 26 to March 2, but it was delayed again and didn’t receive it until March 3.

Personalize your wine glasses with a word or two… a great way to add a personal touch to your party.  Be creative with your words and it can be a conversation piece.

This is not your regular stenciling, it’s edible!  All you need are stencils, corn syrup and cinnamon.  Head on to The City Cradle for the instructions.  It’s pretty easy!

You have seen the gorgeous Haiku Mill in my previous post.  And now here’s a real wedding to inspire you more.  Natalie and Lou got Maui’d at the Mill.  The rustic charm of the venue is just perfect to set the mood for their beautiful vintage weddng.  Photography by Visionari.

Select Hawaii vendors have teamed up to create this beautiful photo shoot at Haiku Mill in Maui.  The place adds a rustic touch to the tropical ambiance of Maui.  Just beautiful.  Stay tuned for a real wedding at this beautiful venue.  Photos were taken by Kevin Chin.

Head to Green Wedding Shoes for more inspiration and the list of participating vendors.

Love is in the air … and so is the flutter of show-stopping bridal gowns, bridesmaids’ dresses, wedding gifts and so much more. As part of Gilt’s Wedding Weekend with Martha Stewart Weddings, from March 12-14, Gilt will be bringing you everything you need, want and can’t imagine walking down the aisle without — from beribboned silk heels to the perfect topaz necklace.

Gilt’s Wedding Weekend starts Friday, March 12, at noon ET.

As the wedding gets closer, I’m getting more nightmares about it.  I guess the planning is starting to really stress me out.  So I decided that I need some pampering.  But it’s not cheap, so I just stick to facials which also help prepare my skin for the wedding.  Excluding the extraction, facials and the facial and shoulder massages that come with it are pretty relaxing.

I recently got a promotion from my salon… $50 for a 50-minute facial plus eye treatment (valued at $130) through Groupon.  Today at Groupon, you get 54% off dance lessons at Dance With Me.  Click on the video below how Groupon works.  It’s really cool and you get really great deals (in New York at least .
