Tea Time
I have a lot on my plate this week and my dear friend Caffeine is helping me through. I love coffee but the stuff makes my stomach hurt so I usually turn to tea for my daily jolt. I’ve never brewed loose tea but I’d like to try it. It seems that those who start never return to supermarket tea bags again.
Of course, I’d need some supplies. Cute ones, obviously.

How do you caffeinate?

Wedding Sneak Peek: Our Photo Booth
Matt and I knew we wanted a photo booth at our wedding but renting one of those suckers is expensive. So we decided to make our own. Our planner Paige splashed pinwheels, pom-poms and ribbons onto the front wall of our reception hall, which was already covered in ivy, and poof, there was our happy backdrop. We set up a camera and remote, brought some fun props and cardboard cutouts (made by my sis Carissa), and let our friends and family loose! Say cheese!
This Weekend in LA: A Terrarium Workshop Hosted By Woo!
Thanks for your sweet comments on Woo! I’m amped about this new venture and I’m so glad you’re here for the ride.
For all of you in LA, here’s a cool event I’m hosting along with my pals Liz, Derek and Janice. This Saturday, learn how to make a modern terrarium with botanica artist Kit Kan of Branch of Life. Even though I have a black thumb (R.I.P. my old roommate’s plant I was supposed to take care of that one week), I’m looking forward to this workshop. I’ve been wanting a cute succulent arrangement for our apartment and now I can create one myself.
Some of Kit’s latest work.
$30 gets you all the materials you need for your mini-ecosystem and some yummy snacks. Email Liz at liz@souliz.com for more details and to RSVP. Hope to see you there!

Freak Out and Eat Cake
Sure, I’d like to say I always “Keep Calm And Carry On” but let’s face it, this is much more accurate.
Slang Bracelets
I’d really digging these BCBG charm bracelets, which proclaim modern-day exclamations such as “sweet,” “rad” and my favorite, “dude.”
MichelleWoo.com is now … Woo!
Dear you guys,
Today, I am very excited to announce that Michelle Woo Dot Com (SO MANY SYLLABLES!) is now simply Woo!
Woo!
So easy, right? Wahoo! I mean, Woo!
Along with the new name comes a rad new look (skillfully designed by my husband Matt and whiningly project managed by me) and a new focus. I’ll still be documenting my crazy little life but I’ll also be writing about stuff I think is cool. Fashion, art, food, weddings, home decor, events, whatever. Anything that makes me say … Woo! OK, I’ll stop now.
After this one.
Woo!
As always, thanks for reading.
Love,
Michelle
Woo!
What? It’s my name.
P.S. Yeah, this may be my passive-aggressive way of rebelling against the name change thing. Don’t judge me.

How To Be Alone
Saw this on Flux Capacitor and thought it was so beautiful.
I wonder if I’ll ever be a person who can dance in a nightclub alone, soberly. (Doubt it.) That’s true confidence.

PS
While it was hot as balls out there and we didn’t quite unplug (we both checked our congratulatory Facebook messages about 5 50 times a day), our Palm Springs minimoon was a sweet respite before our return to reality. Here are some snapshots.
I highly recommend The Ace for a hip stay, the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway to Mount San Jacinto State Park for fresh air and pretty trees and Norma’s for the gooiest, most decadent lobster mac & cheese. I’ll be back.
