Look Ma, it took me 26 years, but I'm international!

So... did you all remember to pick up this month's copy of Cosmopolitan Slovenia?

...and flip to page 126 where Yours Truly is featured! No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you. That's my office, my bookshelves, my inspiration board...

...and that's me! The one and only Alaini Kaczmarski (I'm hopeful that's my name in Slovenian and not a misspelling. I fear it might be the latter. Oh well. You can't misspell a face!). From what I gather thanks to Google Translate, I am an enchanting, sympathetic American with a must-read website: www.livecreatingyourself.com. Ya know, I've been telling people this for years... finally, it's catching on. The rest of the article states that no matter how small your space or budget, you too can have a chic work space! True dat.

In all seriousness, this was such an honor and I'm so grateful the magazine thought my work space would serve as inspiration for their readers.

Cosmo Slovenia is not available anywhere in the United States, but you can see the article on their website here!

In other news, today is my 26th birthday! Apparently it is the most common birthday in the entire world seeing as it's exactly 40 weeks after New Year's Eve. However, I was two weeks late, clearly holding out just to get in on the fun that is October 5. But there won't be any big celebration this year. Dinner at a new French restaurant downtown with the boy and a low-key night with the girls this coming Saturday is all the celebration I'll be needing! Maybe I'll make some sparkler cupcakes. That would be nice. : )

You know... to match my sparkly dress from fancy girls night last weekend.
