Pa' luego es tarde. Do it Now. #FBF October 2021 @ConexionFlorida

Sharing of BB's October article in Conexion on the last Friday of the month. Better late than never, both for the message and the sharing. 

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

This almost didn’t get published, didn’t make it to the editor. It barely missed going to print because BB forgot to press send. That, after the initial corre corre, had Babushka thinking in circles. Ok si, a natural flight of thought talvez, but it started BB pensando of all the other instances in life that we don’t “press send”.

You know, the times we think of things to do, what we’d like to do sometime, someday.  Those things that are wishful thinking. Beautifuls, the wishful turns into wasteful if not carried through. Time is not our amigo on this one. Before we know it, la oportunidad has gone and the chance of it returning as we had pictured is not in our favor. The visions of our mañanas are but flashes in the pan and never pan out. This, is of our choosing. You will never achieve what you never do or truly go after. Consider this your poke to stop procrastination. 

To ayudar, a visual for you.

“This is a round tuit. Guard it with your life!

Tuits are hard to come by, especially the round ones.

It will help you become a much more efficient worker.

For years you've heard people say "I'll do that when I get a round tuit."

So now that you have one, you can accomplish all those things you put aside until you got a Round Tuit.”  

As you can see, this has been a human trait since the beginning of time,so don’t feel bad about it. This is not a new sentiment by any stretch, pero ahora it’s fall and another year almost over. Don’t let another snowflake melt. Pa’ luego es tarde.

Babushka's Bridal Beauty 101

This post is sponsored by Dove® ClearTone™ Deodorant - designed to visibly reduce underarm dark marks and even skin tone.

Sweetie and I set a concrete date for our wedding. Que? JU SO FONII!! Ok si, I'll be 50 and this will be my third wedding, but I still intend to celebrate the occassion and plan to be a very happy bride on the big day.  As we say in buen Cubano- "Mas sabe el diablo por viejo que por diablo."  The devil knows more because he's old than because he's the devil. In other words, experience counts more than anything else, so let BB's aforementioned qualifications help so you don't have a devil of a time on your big day.

First of all- BREATHE!!  You'd be amazed how many brides forget to do this.  Between the tighness of their gowns and their nerves, the phenomenon of blacked out brides is very common.

Second- speaking of nerves... what hasn't been done by now is out of your hands so chillax!!  You can only be in charge of yourself, and if you can't laugh of yourself, you're taking life way too seriously. Have something/someone on hand that always makes you laugh.

Third- Think only of the moment. What you truly have is now, and most importantly the NOW of the love you feel.  There are no guarantees in life, so cherish and fully enjoy the reason for the celebration.  The best decoration in any wedding is the  love radiating from the couple when they look into each other's eyes.

Only three steps.  Of course you may have to remind yourself of them constantly all through the day, but they're short so you can write them on a 3x5.  And please, sobretodo, never omit number one, 'cause without that there's no way you'll be able to do the other two. 

; )

Be happy my beautiful brides, the moment is yours.

P.S.  Amongst the swag given to BB during Hispanicize were samples of Dove ClearTone deodorant.  I was very impressed by the product and happily applied to write this for them.
