Some People Call Me Candy Queen However, Today you can call me, La Reina De Los Dulces! We Spread The Candy Love At Univision's Lanzate Morning Show & Candy Insanity Was Had By All!!!
 |
Seriously! So many adventures lately Right? Even I have to stop, breath, take it all in and say "WHAT THE FUN-DIP is going on here???"Last week, we were off to Good Morning America for a super fun Times Square segment and we've got a bunch of other fun things in the pipeline. So So SO Proud to have been invited to Univision's Studios in Los Angeles to do a fabulously fun morning segment on Telefutura's LANZATE! It kinda means- "Get Up & Go!!!" I'm a very proud totally diverse and hyper Latina who basically has no problem jumping into whatever life tosses my way. Is LIVE TV Scary? Ummm NO Way Jose! I Live for this stuff! I love anything spontaneous and in these moments find myself living by what has become my motto- "Life is short, make it sweet & fun!" Lots of special things are happening and it's borderline ridiculous so stay tuned and hopefully we'll see more of these Luscious Latino TV moments again and again! To all my phenomenal friends at Univison- Dio, Dina, Carlos, Fernanda, Nataly, Luis, Stephanie & John.. Muchisimas Gracias por una manana tan Dulce & lleno de AZUCAR! These are the best of the best in the world of Latino Television and they're all Smokin' Hot Too! I mean Duhhhh though.. they ARE Latinos! Un BESOTE! Candy Girl |

Our Good Morning America Adventure! The Hollywood Candy Girls Created The GMA Easter Bunny & Caused Candy INSANITY in Times Square!!!
There are some moments in a Candy Girls Candyreer where she says to herself, " No Freaking Way!" This moment with our friends at Good Morning America just happened to be another one of those moments! Ya know, it's pretty ridiculous and incredible how much cool stuff continues to rain down on us and since I don't really believe in having good luck as much as I believe in working really, really, hard for a very long time and eventually experiencing a freight train of cool opportunities because you've created that reality for yourself and your business and not because once again.. You're just a lucky girl! Damn I'm good at those long run on thoughts and sentences!
So, trying not to blog novels any longer because I'm now also juggling 2 babies under two years old and insanely busy candy shoppe, rad events for brilliantly fun clients and trying to melt off this baby weight because I will no longer continue subjecting myself to doing all these fantastic things and looking like I eat midgets for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I know- it's kind if ludicrous for a candy girl to be on a diet and I would imagine that it's like when they say, " Never trust a skinny chef" Oh well, I just have to be real and say.. You never know when the world is going to throw tremendously awesome opportunities your way- Your own Reality Show, Interviews, Requests to do National TV shows etc.. My time just happened to happen in the last 2 years when I decided to have 2 babies back to back.. OK so maybe not so much a decision but an accident but who cares- my kids are now the only reason I choose to work so hard. My children's future is also why I choose to work like a maniac and stay in business. Ya know one day when they are in school it will be so easy for them to make friends when they say, " Do you know what my mommy's job is?" Yes! Working in Candy Girl Land and being Queen of the Gum Balls is a fancy title but the truth is.. I scream like a 5 year old when cool stuff happens, have emotional break downs with the Candy Girls because well.. Thats what girls do. We're always incredibly overwhelmed, living in controlled and colorful chaos and if you are familiar with the event industry then you know- it's high pressure all the time, lots of eyes rolling and women wearing all black outfits with their wedding planner ear pieces perfectly in place yelling, " Where the hell are my tangerine linens Raul!" and things of that nature.. While juggling all this candy insanity we also continue with the same goal- to grow this little company into sweet oblivion!!! We will, we're so on our way...
Funny how this blog turned into very little to do with going on Good Morning America however, our GMA producer Hana Karar is incredibly awesome and totally saw the vision for our GMA visit and Mr. George Stephanopolous is one of the kindest, most genuine dads- anchors on the planet! The whole team at GMA Rocked R Sparkly Socks!!! We're so thankful for getting to add this to our super cool resume of awesome life stuff we've done! Til our next appearance friends...
XoXo- Candy Girl
And PS- If anyone ever tries to tell you - "It Can't Be Done"- whatever your "IT" may be, my advice would be.. poke them in the eyes, tell them to shut it and run away laughing like a complete lunatic ending with 3 twirls as you get into your car and drive away to get some frozen yogurt!
Here's the Clip to the Fun Story Good Morning America Produced in our Crazy Lil' Candy Shoppe
This is the LIVE Demo On Good Morning America In The Middle Of Times Square! The Whole Crew Came Out For Candy Insanity! Pretty Cool & Super Fun Stuff

Have We Gone Hollywood??? NEVER!!! At least we don't think so!!!
This quick little post is inspired by a new client who called me this morning and her first words were, " You know, I absolutely LOVE what you do but I don't even think I can afford you so I may be wasting my time calling you!" Well, she quickly came to find that she misjudged us and we laughed about it while scheduling her consultation to meet next week at her home. I told her, "Mrs. Wheeler, we sell candy & sweet treats NOT Ferrari's Lady! No worries, I'll take care of you!" Honestly, I've heard this so many times and it's a compliment of sorts I suppose, but not necessarily the message that I'd ever want to convey to our clients. The truth is, the Heart Beat and Core of my business is the everyday normal folks & families, like me & mine! The new mom planning her babies 1st Birthday, The Sweet 16 or Quinceneara teen who's so overly energetic and excited beyond words and LOVES PINK, the Fiance who's surprising his bride with a special candy creation at their up-coming wedding, the Mitzvah parents, High School Prom Committee and so on... Sure! We've got some big names sprinkled in there too, some of the biggest names in the world to be exact but I'm not in the mood to drop names on you in order for you to say WOWY-WOW or break your toes from the massive weight these big names carry.
I'm such a normal chick who had a shot gun wedding and that decision still annoys me, I've got an 11 month old baby, another one on the way ( I'm still managing the shock and easing into it) A husband who has my back always, watches way too much Major League Baseball, Works his ass off for his family and then comes to Candy Land to " help me" because he's realized he is "Very creative & apparently Loving it!" I've got 2 little dogs with very bad manners and often in need of a visit to the groomers & dentist, crazy loving parents with funny accents who believe in me so much that they NEVER let me complain or feel sorry for myself for being so tired and so ambitious and I've got bills that are piled high and normally paid late and I live in a towne home in the burbs that is surrounded by women who I've deemed the Stroller Brigade and Perfect Mother Mafia. Ugh! Those women highly annoy me because they make me realize I need to manage my time better and work less so I can do more of what they get to do which if you ask me looks like a lot of sitting around parks with coolers & wipes, driving to Costco every other day and gossiping about the other moms in town. Umm.. I just never saw myself being that woman so I am easing my way into it with baby steps. Now, How Hollywood is all that? You see, marketing is one thing and reality & truth is another and I'm most proud of being as honest and open as I can be, pretty damn funny on a good day and just have very big plans for my family, my business & our future and I allow nothing, nobody and no set back to stop me. And you know what my motto of the moment is... Candy World Domination or Bust Baby!!!
Here's To NEVER Going Hollywood.. I mean, They Don't Call It La-La Land For Nothing'!
XoXo,
The Most Normal, Slightly Cynical Candy Girl You've Ever Known!
PS- TURN YOUR SPEAKERS UP!!!
SHEILA E COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER! HER'S TO THE GLAMOUROUS LIFE! THIS CHICK IS SO BAD-ASS!
