Rachael West

Rachael West is a renown wedding florist in North Carolina. Her attention to detail and awe inspiring designs have captured the local community. In 2009, Rachael decided to expand her site beyond floral design and offer insights and information based on the feedback she received from her wedding clients.

“They would complain to me that there wasn’t a place online where they could get the information they needed – that they felt they could trust,” recalls West. “They had issues with weight loss shopping, and that’s when I decided that I could fill that need.”

Here are some of the topics that Rachael will be covering:

Weight Loss: “Weight loss and dieting are the biggest complaints I get from the brides I meet with. There is so much conflicting information online. Most diets target weight loss through the loss of water which looks great on the scale, but horrible for your body. Others were confusing or fads that came and went. I went and did the research myself and then talked to my doctor. The best choice was Medifast, due to their backing of over 30,000 physicians. It is about FAT loss and getting your body healthy again – not just about weight loss. The key is to nourish your body with what it needs, while avoiding the harmful foods … and we’re not just taking about fast food, but foods that are marketed as “healthy” but which are not. The next best weight loss system was Nutrisystem.”

Shopping: “I am a big believer in giving personalized gifts. One of my favorite quotes is,’They may not remember what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel’ and a personalized gift is always the right choice. PersonalizedMall.com is the best place that I have found online to create the types of gifts I need for not just my business, but to give to family and friends as well.”
