My Jewelry Secrets and Fashion Fixes…

Hey Guys!

Besides for makeup, jewelry is the other thing I LOVE to collect. There’s something about putting on a special piece of jewelry that makes you feel more glam or sophisticated.  However, the thing I’ve realized with jewelry is that  my taste changes frequently, so it’s hard to invest money in expensive pieces when I don’t know if it’s something I’ll love forever.

I like to play around with styles or necklaces, bracelets and earrings…and can’t afford expensive pieces. So, I’ve found a few tips along the way to find less expensive jewelry deals.

The first place I like to look is Ebay. Yes, believe it or not…I can find some really great deals on Ebay for jewelry, and I think it’s fun to bid on things and win if you get a really good deal. Everything I’ve gotten on ebay I’ve paid around $3 or less for. All you do is type in the search bar what you are looking for such as “rose gold bracelet”, then under the sort by tab, click “time ending soonest.” That way you can get your bids in right before it’s about to close, and be closer to winning!

Another place that I sometimes find great deals is Target. And, there’s a little secret to those clearance stickers. If the price on the sticker ends in “8″ , you can wait because that item will get lowered again. If the price ends in “4″ , that is the lowest the price is going, and you should snatch it up! :)

Lastly, do you ever find a ring that you love, but is too large, or earrings that are too heavy for your ears?? Well, the solution can be Blingguard. They have two different products, the blingdots are little sticky dots that go on the back of earrings and help the earring sit up on your ear, and prevent it from weighing down your ear. I LOVE these, because over the years of wearing heavy earrings, now I can wear them without worrying about them pulling my ear down. 

The other product is bling wraps which help to size your ring perfectly to your finger and keep it on your finger straight without turning and twisting around your finger. Comes with 30 disposable strips for $14.99

These would be great stocking stuffers for a jewelry lover, with the holidays coming up!

What I love about the Fall & Illumenature Candle Review

Hey Everyone!

I think Fall IS my favorite time of year. When I try to put into words what it is I love about it all I come up with is a jumbled list: I love the weather, the cool crisp air, scarves, boots, sweaters, candles, the colored /falling leaves, pumpkins, APPLES, baking and a time for exciting new opportunities.

My husband and I went to pick apples about  a week ago…I love these sort of activities!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another fantastic thing about Fall is the cool air and burning candles inside your home to make it warm and cozy. I got the opportunity to try some soy candles from Illumenature.  These candles are hand poured using 100% soy wax, as well as premium scented oils & color.

Here is the assortment I received:

The scents are: Campfire, Cherry Tangerine, and Garden Mist. The first thing I noticed about these candles are the cute simple packaging. They come in really nice glass jars with a steel suction top for storing. I love the colored ribbons around each one.

CAMPFIRE was my favorite. This is a great Fall Scent. I love the colors, brown and orange and the smell definitely reminds me of the fall. It has a burning wood, and crisp fall leaves smell all wrapped into one.

 If I were to recommend one candle of them all to have in your home this fall it is the campfire scent. I will be burning this one every day that I can! Campfires just remind me of good times.. you can make such great memories sitting around a campfire! :) I definitely would love this one in the larger size because I know I will go through it fast. Also, I love the fact that these candles are made of soy/natural ingredients.

This size is the 8 oz size and on the website it costs… $11.99. They are also available in 20 oz sizes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The other two scents the Cherry Tangerine and the Garden Mist Look like this close up!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They both smell absolutely delicious but just in a different way than the campfire. Cherry Tangerine is a very sweet fruity smell. This would be my second favorite scent to burn.

The Garden mist is a bathroomy scent in my opinion. It smells good , it’s just floraly and fresh smelling like you’d expect a bathroom to hopefully smell!!!! :)

Both of these are the 8 oz size and are $11.99.

The Illumenature candles come in some GREAT scents for fall besides campfire: Cinnamon Sticks, Banana Bread, Buckeye & Pumpkin Pie! YUM! Pumpkin pie candles always smell SOOOO good and the Cinnamon sticks candle I’ve heard great things about on Elle Fowler’s beauty blog.

If you are interested in taking a look at these candles…go check out http://www.illumenature.com
 to take a look at all of their scents!
