Trendy Thursdays: Mistral Soaps Basket

This week we have an amazing giveaway of 4 Mistral Soap bars for 4 lucky winners! To receive this luxury soap, you'll need to read the post from earlier this week on our giveaway that kicked off on Sun. As mentioned on this post, I became acquainted with this company while working as a manager at Anthropologie. I love that it has Shea Butter within its soaps and that there are so many scents that this makes the perfect gift to give to many people that you know from thanking people for allowing you to stay at their beach house to beginning to think about the holidays as the year is flying by!

Speaking of gifts, they have a section where you can either create your own basket or you can choose various sizes and decide upon a scent. When I saw this I instantly thought about gifts that someone creates at work! I know that many times there are price restrictions in terms of gifts and many times, a company may look at getting a great gift for $50. Fortunately this Medium sized baskets which has Grapefruit shown but there are others available, fits right in this price point. Within this basket, the intended recipient will receive a Shea Butter Soap, A Hand Soap and also Lotion as well. This is so cute and who wouldn't love the container and its overall presentation. Of course, if you are doing a special gift, you can make your own basket as well. I love this amazingly vintage approach to this company and encourage you to visit the giveaway link if you have yet to submit your comment to the post and of course visit Mistral to see all the scents that you're missing out on!

Wearable Wednesday: Single Life Can Be Celebrated Too

Terrence Howard, Naomi Campbell and various members from the cast of High School Musical and Heros have something in common! They are all members of the Singelringen community. Many of us are familiar with those that have recently become engaged or married. It's easy to tell as we can look at the rings to see what phase of their life that they have shifted to but what about those that are single? Singelringen was created as an answer to what is going on with those that have yet to be married.

This ring has blue acrylic that wraps around the sterling silver ring and exposes a small portion of it in a crescent shape. This crescent shape can be worn to face others stating that the person wearing it is open to love while others choose to wear it inward to show that they are not open to this whether they may not be interested or involved with someone. As I am involved with someone, I wear my crescent closer to my heart signifying that I am already in a relationship. Singelringen are unisex and many wear them on the right hand but you can choose or you can place it on a chain! In addition, there is a unique number within your ring that allows you to log on to the website and to register to link up with others in this community. Being single by those that join this site, is seen as a period in life that this concept is embraced. Although we may not be prepared or be ready for that next step, we can enjoy the benefits of looking, searching or being with someone that means a great deal to us. In addition to being a great concept, I enjoy wearing this ring because I think it looks cute and I love how light and simple it looks.

Treasure Tuesdays: We Love Beads

You know that I am a fan of using beads and stones, this is why I love making my jewelry so when I saw the super cute pieces from Girlie Girl Jewelry Studio, I had to share with you. I love handmade pieces and definitely think that these are items that should be in your wardrobe! These savvy and stylish women utilize tones of mossy green and shiny red apple with pops of other natural tones. Rhyolite and Apple Jasper work together with lampwork beads to make this cute necklace. To add a bit more of bling, there are Swarovski Crystals that separate each stone from one another. This is perfect to pair with denim and cute dresses since it is 25" long. Of course don't be afraid to layer a charm necklace in with this. Support these fabulously indie women in California who make the cutest handmade pieces. For more looks that are so you - check out Girlie Girl Jewelry Studio.
