Hi there, Hope your enjoying Maria Kamon Podcast @MKPDE here is the latest business advice for those who have to travel. 1. Day before; have all things you'll need packed in luggage. Eat healthy and be sure to exercise. 2. Drink a cup (8oz) of water ever 30 minutes to say hydrated. Also hydrating is unsweetened tea and coconut water. 3. Avoid taking naps the day of travel. 4. Take a walk instead or sit poolside for thirty minutes. Medial News today recommends that being in the sunshine for 30 minutes is healthier than a power name of 20-30 minutes. 5. Change your eating times to local eating times. If you are hungry at your regular times then eat a snack or easily digested foods.

What is the "WOW Factor" why and how it exist. What is the understanding of what you are experiencing. Event planning is about all the little details and this podcast is in the hope of the return of formality and WOW events. As the government opens up our country, I am hoping all of you get the opportunity to attend a "Formal Event" allowing you to experience a wow factor. From formal invitations to entering a venue and seeing the decor that can evoke an emotional response from the attendee.

In the world of event planning things can sometimes become extreme. When the customer wants a certain something they saw a photograph of and printed it from Pinterest or when they want an item that is no longer manufactured. When the person has a $2.00 budget and wants a $200, 000 event. All that we can do is the best we can do. During these times my advice to everyone is to just do the best possible. Perfection is difficult to obtain.  Try something new and see if it will fit in your lifestyle. If it doesn't it doesn't no sense in beating yourself or someone else about it. It's personal choice of what, when, who, how we want to follow. For more information follow Maria Kamon on social @MKPDE or visit website mkpurediamondevents.com

What can business expect after the 2021 Olympic! The timing of the 2021 Smart Star Award couldn't have been better. These awards are like the Olympic Awards in the hotel industry. The United States is a pretty interesting in awards. As we are proud of the Olympians so should we be of our communities. The articles will be written now on how to raise an Olympic child. Not only articles books will be written. How will this affect the meeting, wedding and event industry and travel. Just like Olympians they strive to succeed while keeping people safe. Therefore, I recommend that if traveling hold on to the mask. Each state community has the right to implement the rules and regulations necessary for public safety. Be smart take care of yourself by doing what is right for yourself this helps others do what is right for themselves and this way we work together to stop the spread Covid 19. Be smart don't lose your mask yet. Not everyone has been vaccinated. Prepare yourselves and if traveling set some money aside for extra expenses. So you don't get stranded. 

Are you watching the games at home then why not visit your local party store and purchase a few items to decorate the home. From different country themes to the International theme the Olympics have this will surely prove to assist you in an atmosphere of Olympians. Involve your children and create games of your own.  To contact Maria Kamon visit mkpurediamondevents.com.

A podcast regarding the state of of event planning and destination travel

Looking up to see how exciting things are that people are slowing going back to their normal routines. Makes me feel Happy and Joyous toward then world. Then I look to only discover my anchor paycheck is missing. I was waiting to see if I should attach my credit card only to discover the funds are missing as of today. They were there the last time I did a podcast, lead me to rant about the frustration event planners are feeling that people somehow think our job is to feed them or make them money, or event plan their personal life. That isn't what Im paid to do as a wedding, meeting, or event planner.

What is the difference in event planning? Many people don’t understand the difference of a community planned event vs a personal plan event. What is personal and what isn’t something DYI Brides should know and understand.

I hope this open’s dialogue on what it means to be a woman in business and the roles we play. I know the importance of supporting people as they try to make things new. However, learn from woman. Not all woman see things the same way. If you give a man a problem and a woman the same problems they will always have different ways of resolving the same problem. How can we better the way we do things so people don’t hurt?

Let MK Pure Diamond Events help you before “Love Strikes”. This worksheet will help you with a cost analysis. What is better for you and your event? A venue or at home. Visit Green Apple Blog at mkpurediamondevents.com to find out if this worksheet is right for you.

Travel is opened for those that like to travel to visit family or friends. However, the Rules and Regulations still must be followed, be encouraged and do what is right for yourself. Plan a party virtually or in person is now available for you and your family.

I decided since MK Pure Diamond Events doesn’t usually plan private parties I’d do some research on the 2020 themes. Here are eight party themes for this year. Again these are themes you can do with items around your home. You do not have to go out and purchase the items mentioned. You can just make them at home. Please be advice I do mention a couple of businesses that I have used before. This is not a sponsored podcast. If you’d like to sponsor this program, please contact anchor or myself and we will proceed with the formalities.

This year has proven to be a year like no other. Slowly we will be able to be ourselves as things slowly become more distant. The party supply stores are all back to normal. You can now purchase your supplies for the Holidays.

There is hope in 2021, I think the MPI WEC Conference will see some changes that will bring. Some of those will be things event planners implement in their business, others will be what I like to call the trickle down effect. These are changes that happen after the event to the world. For example, the way we think of a product or the way a product is used. How we recycle, how we think about the world and the people in it. It will be interesting to see not only what new things are created also how the rules and regulations of planning meetings, weddings, and events. So all eyes are on Texas this November in the Event industry. On country in the elections.

The big of Texas at the Grapevine. There is lots to see. There is even more to watch and learn from! How will they implement all the Rules and Regs. The President has imposed upon His people? You’ll have to see what happens

As difficult as it is to watch what is happening around the world. Just a moment to encourage you all to do the best you can be kind to one another and hold on.

The thoughts of an event planner and the future of New Years Eve 2020. I am surprised of what all people around then world are going through. What is it that we will have to do this New Years Eve. Encouraging all party people to think about what they will be doing with all the rules and regulations.

Exciting News. Do you enjoy a day at the spa? Then you will enjoy this one. I talk a while about what a spa treatment is. How San Diego has some of the best “Spa Locations” in the world and how they are open for business. Thank You to John Tekeridis from Pexels for the use of this photograph.

Happy Birthday! To all those people who have had birthdays and didn't get acknowledged. Reserve your spot at your local favorite restaurant to have a dinner party for your day. It's exciting to see party stores back open and doing business. Order your cake and have a good time.  Costco and local bakers are back to selling cakes. Makes me feel so happy to see people again.  Remember to wear your mask and take hand sanitizer, it's still required and each county is different so read their rules.  Mini hand sanitizer for people who don't like to carry it in their pockets. It's about an ounce. perfect for going out to dinner.
