Eco Modern Concierge Featured on the NAPO Get Organized Blog

When the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals  (NAPO) reached out to me to write a blog post for them in regards to foresight, it was a resounding YES! This is what my masters degree is in. Head to their blog here to read about what foresight is and how it coincides with the professional organizing industry.

EMC Travels: Hotel Valencia

I have been meaning to post this for sometime and since I book tons of hotels for my concierge clients and myself I thought I would share one that I loved, Hotel Valencia in San Antonio, TX . We stayed here about a year and half ago and couldn't get over how charming this hotel was. We were welcomed with a cocktail, they had great service and it was right on the riverwalk in San Antonio. I loved how the hotel was decorated and there were so many great outdoor places you could sit and relax. I will definitely be staying here again. Have you been here?
