Dress Up Your Look with Beautiful Jinja Jewelry Made in Bali

June 17, 2014 by Kathryn 125 Comments

Before having children, I prided myself on being low-maintenance. I lived mostly in jeans, never accessorized with jewellery and didn’t usually fuss with makeup. But after having two boys and being the only female in the house for such a long time, I started embracing my inner girl in a big way. Still, I wanted fashions and accessories that were unique as well as pretty. And it was a big bonus if those stylish new items could also help create a better life for someone else!

That’s why I love shopping at Jinja Jewelry. The company offers handmade jewelry created by talented Balinese artisans offered at an incredible price. The pieces are unique and striking, but in addition, Jinja Jewelry is passionate about fair-trade ethics, so all the artisans are paid a fair wage for their creations! [Read more…]

Precious Memories Last Forever with a PicturesOnGold.com Photo Pendant Charm-Giveaway

December 5, 2012 by Kathryn 64 Comments

There’s something so special about a photo of a loved one and this Christmas, PicturesOnGold.com has a great gift that will let you capture a timeless photo and turn it into a beautiful gift. The Sterling Silver Heart with Border Photo Pendant Picture Charm is such a stunning gift for any woman. It can be personalized with a photo of a mother’s children, a significant other or even just a special moment from the year in either colour or black and white. I was delighted when I received one of these beautiful photo pendants to review.

I decided to personalize the pendant with a picture of my boys taken earlier in the year. One of the things that I love about PicturesOnGold.com is that if I choose a picture of any number of people, the company will ensure that the faces of the people in the picture are fitted onto the pendant. The picture I chose had the boys’ faces a little far apart but I knew that PicturesOnGold would take out the extra space in between the boys to create a gorgeous pendant featuring both of them.

If there’s one thing that most women love, it’s personalized jewellery. Whether it’s a necklace featuring the birthstones of a mother’s children or a ring containing the name of the woman and her husband or boyfriend, there’s just something special about having a pretty and sparkly accessory that was made just for you.

That’s why I was thrilled when I received the chance to review one of the beautiful personalized rings from Jewlr. This Canadian personalized jewellery boutique recently updated its website with a fresh new look and I couldn’t wait to check it out and see how it worked.

Deciding what ring to choose was the hardest part of the ordering process. I finally decided on the Double Heart Gemstone Ring with Accents. That’s when the fun really started! The amazing thing about the Jewlr website is that as I entered the information about the engraving and stones that I wanted, the picture of the ring on the site would show the information I entered so that I could see exactly what my ring would look like. But, even better, after entering the information, the other rings on the site showed the same stones and engraving, making deciding on the perfect piece even easier! [Read more…]

Teething Has Never Been So Stylish with the Rockease Classic Necklace from Teethease-Giveaway

November 13, 2012 by Elizabeth 60 Comments

When Chase was a little younger I had the chance to review a Teethease Pendant Necklace and I really appreciated how handy this teething necklace was. So when I found out the I was going to be able to review a Teethease product again I was super excited! I loved my first one and their new styles are great. The company has a whole new line of products including bangles, pendants and other great new necklaces.

teethease rockease necklaces This time I chose the Rockease Classic; it comes in 4 colours and is modelled to look like marbled rocks. I love that all the Teethease products are fashionably made to look like modern jewellery and this necklace is another great example of that. And while it’s nice for mom, it’s nice for baby too. There are 7 uniquely-shaped rocks on the necklaces and the different shapes help to keep baby interested. They are made of soft, flexible silicone so that the necklace is soft enough for baby to chew on, something that’s come in very handy in our house!

Today Chase got his sixth tooth in two months and he has been chomping on everything in sight. He loves when I let him wear my Rockease necklace for a bit; he will stomp around and chew away and actually get quiet for a bit! I find that my hair (being much longer than Chase’s) gets stuck around the rocks so I usually only wear it if my hair is up. Now that I’m a mom, though, I find my hair goes up a lot more often (am I the only one?), so that usually isn’t a big deal anyways. [Read more…]
