My Favorite Jewelry Finds

Hello!
No matter where I am my senses are always on high alert for jewelry and other types on nick knacks. Recently I have found some amazing pieces and I wanted to share them with you today. These range from more higher end pieces to charity shop pieces. Enjoy!

1. This is a piece that I picked up very recently at a local charity shop. What I loved about it is that it had a charm that was a turtle! It has 5 small diamonds and one large green diamond as it's shell. It is very simple and delicate and I had been looking for a necklace like this for a long time and without looking for it I randomly bumped into it. It has a medium size chain. When wearing the necklace the charm hits about 15cm below the collar bone. Charity Shop $1.99

2. I found this piece the same time I found the turtle necklace. It is a gold flower with a small silver diamond at it's centre. It is very delicate and charming and is a tad bit longer then the turtle necklace. I also found this in a charity shop. Charity Shop $2.99

3. Eiffel tower. When I saw this I got very excited because of my European background I like to have pieces hat remind me of my past. This was a perfect piece because it represents just that. It is a small Eiffel tower dangling from a bellybutton length chain and has a whole bunch of other charms on there from a brown flower to a cream rose. I really like this piece and it represent me very well. Jewelry shop in L.A. $3.50

4. I talked about this ring in my past blog posts and I love it to bits and is probably my most worn ring. Ardenes $7.50

5. This is a necklace that I received from my grandmother for my 10th birthday and it is a protective eye to protect from dark spirits. It is very beautiful and is made from gold.  $?

6. A beautiful ring I received from my mom. Love it a lot and matches everything which makes it very versatile. mom $5-10

7. AHH I love this ring so much, it looks quite expensive but got it for a complete bargain for $3 from Ardenes. Love the nature look to this ring and that is what attracted me to buy it.

8. Pink. Pink. Pink. The only reason I bought them. Ardenes (Came in a pack of three) $12.50

9. From my mom I love to wear these because the give off a vintage feel and they are very cute. $5-10

10. Got these from my friend from secret Santa and love them a lot and they are very comfortable. I am usually not a big fan of dangle earrings but I really like these. $7.50

11. This was another charity shop find and these are very sweet because I have nothing like them and I loved how they were still in the packaging. Very nice and I love these to bits. $1.99

Small Bath and Body Works Haul

Hello!
So recently I stepped in my car and ventured out to a huge shopping centre that I hadn't been too in about six months. I bought some clothing. ( which I will show in my next haul) but I was most excited to visit the Bath and Body Works since I handy been there in a while. As soon as I stepped in I was overwhelmed by the bottles , scents and millions of candles and started to remember why I didn't go there too often. I browsed along the sections till I made a stop at the huge 75% off bin where I spent the majority of my time. In the end I only picked up three amazing goodies but I thought it was worth sharing with you! Hope you enjoy and please leave a comment if you have an idea for a future blog post!

1. I got the Paris Amour anti-bacterial deep cleansing hand soap which I was very much in need of. It is a lovely fresh scent and leaves your hands feeling really soft and clean.

2. The second item I purchased was something that I was hoping to find in my shopping adventure. It was a body butter. I had hoped they had just a coconut scent but sadly the only had one that was mixed with lime or one with vanilla. I just wanted a pure coconut butter. As I continued rummaging through the sale bucket I cam across this body butter which is called dark kiss and smells absolutely amazing and the consistency is fabulous. I fell in love with it right away and held onto it tight. When I apply it to my skin in leaves it very smooth and hydrates my skin very well  so I am very happy that this product is beneficial to me.

3. The last item I got was one of their perfumes which I had never tried before. This one is called Black Amethyst and smells heavenly. It has a sweet but also strong scent and it's very comforting but can be overpowering if you apply to much. I love the cute design which was another reason why I had to pick it up :)

Products from left to right: Dark kiss body butter $3.80, Paris Amour Anti-Bacterial hand soap $5.50, and the Black Amethyst $7.50.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post and if you did please follow, comment,rate, share,or whatever you do these days to show that you enjoyed this. Hope you have a wonderful day!

A New Year A New Start

A new year does not only mean a change in a date but for most people it means a long term or temporary change in their life style. A lot of people make resolutions or plans to make the new year a very sucessful one. Some people decide to loose weight, look at a more positive outlook on life or try to spend more time with family. So as most people do I have put together my three top resolutions for 2013 that I am going to stick to.

1. Eat Healthy
This one has been one of my resolutions since I can remember. Every year I tell myself I am going to reach for the apple instead of the chocolate bar or go for a healthier option when choosing a food to eat. But what I have done to try and make it a little easier is to try to eath healthy most of the time and once in a while have a small treat. This way I can enjoy eating healthy but also once in a while eat some delicious sweets.

2. Save Money
I constantly find myself spending all my money in my wallet escpecially during the holiday season, birthdays and summer vacation. I'm allways thinking that, oh the extra handcream won't matter or sure I'll go out for coffee or dinner. I am going to make three seperate jars and label them. One says savings, another spending and the last one will be emergency money which I can use if I am really in neeed of money.

3. My last resolution is to try and travel somewhere this year. It's been about a year since I have been on a plane and I am eager to step foot on another continent. My hopes are of going somewhere in Asia or maybe to the United Kingdom. Hopefully with my new saving money plan I will be able to go fairly soon.


Those are my three new years resolutions :). If you enjoyed this please follow my blog and let me down in the comments below what your resolutions are for 2013. Also, please leave a link of your blog so that I can follow it!

Wish you all the best in the New Year 2013!

Holiday gift buying rules

The holidays are an exciting part of the year for most people but for some it can be very stressful. I am one of the stressed people because I started worrying at the end of October what I could get for my family. So I thought I would help you out to make your holiday shopping a little easier. These are some shopping rules I go by to find the perfect gift for someone.

1. Whenever you hear them talking about something they want during the year write it down and near Christmas you should have an entire list of items they would want.

2. Observe them and see what types of items they use on a daily basis. For example if your friends are addicted to coffee and tea buy them a coffee machine or coffee mugs or a tea infuser. If you buy things that relate to their everyday life you know that they are going to use your gift on a daily basis.

3. If you are completely stuck and running out of time, I would recommend buying their favourite magazine a box of chocolates and a gift card to somewhere they like to shop.

I hope you found these three tip helpful and if you did please comment, share and google plus this with your friends.

Hope you have an amazing holiday season!

Back to School Jewelry Favorites

Hello everyone, I am very excited about my new blog. On this blog I will be posting hauls, my monthly favourites and much much more. I hope you enjoy this blog  as much as I do and please leave a comment, share, and subscribe if you have a question or just enjoy reading this blog. Thanks for your support.

Now lets get into the blog post. I am very sad that Summer is over but it also makes me look forward to back to school shopping and of course seeing all my friends again. Today I am going to be showing you my back to school jewelry favourites. I think almost all of the pieces have been bought very recently so they will still be available in the stores that are mentioned. 

This is a long chain necklace and on the end hangs a large heart made up by flowers. I really love this piece because you can wear it with almost everything and I love having cream and gold together. I bought this necklace at Ardenes.
$11.50

 This ring is also from Ardenes and what I really like about this piece is the beautiful Aqua stone that is in the center surrounded by little diamonds.
$7.50

This piece is very unique because it looks like there are leaves wrapping around your fingers. The leaves are lined with little diamonds as you can see.
Also purchased at Ardenes
$7.50

What it looks like on my hand

This one is of a hawk that has a diamond in it's mouth. Also purchased at Ardenes.

$7.50

I love this ring because it is just so simple and it will go great with my gold watch. Came in a set of four with three silver rings but this one was my favourite. For all four rings it was $7.50 and also purchased at Ardenes

This owl necklace used to have a body too but it broke off but I still think it is a very beautiful piece so that is why I included it. I love mixing the aqua colour with the gold in Jewelry. Bought this one at Claires for $8.00

This on is so cute! It is a double chain bead necklace and all the individual beads are surrounded by little gold holders. It is very long but I like that about this necklace. Also bought at Ardenes for $11.50

I was looking for a necklace with just a small pendant on it after watching sunbeamsjess  necklace collection video on you tube. This necklace is very nice with a diamond heart and a dotted chain. Also bought at Ardenes and $11.50  

The final one is a three chain necklaces with each chain holding a heart. It took forever to get untangled and I still didn't get it completely. haha. But is is really beautiful and it was also purchased at Ardenes. $11.50

Ardenes has some awesome deals so I only had to pay three for $10 for the necklaces and three for $10 for the rings. I think they have these deal all year around. 

I hope you enjoyed my first blog post on this blog and I hope to hear from you. 

Have a beautiful day.
