Sparkle

Here's a little glimpse of things to come!

In my small town we have a shop called The Bead Garden!

Along with an assortment of beads and some of her own designs Lori carries the largest selection of SORRELLI Jewelry around!

If you don't know what Sorrelli is, first of all, where have you been?

Second of all the pictures above show just a taste of the massive beautifulness and stupendousness that is Sorrelli!

Can you tell I have a fever?

And the only cure is more Sorrelli!

Sorrelli is made with semi-precious stones, high-quality Austrian crystals and with a lifetime guarantee is meant to be enjoyed for generations!

**ATTENTION LOCALS**

If you live near the Bonifay area The Bead Garden is having a ridiculous sale on all things Sorrelli!

We are calling the event Spring Fever and it will be just in time for Mother's Day!

The dates will be April 25th and the 26th.

The location will be THE BEAD GARDEN and there will be plenty of prizes for some of the people who come the days of the actual event!

We will also have a special giveaway just for you the people who read, like and share the blog!

Don't go sharing and liking just yet!

The drawing will be later as we get closer to the trunk show date but keep your eyes peeled! 

The WINNER could be YOU!!!

For Him

Here it is, my gift guide for the guys!!!

I know it's all pretty self explanatory when you see the picture right in front of you but let me explain so this post has more substance!

The Blanket is perfect for the romantic guy you could pack a picnic for and it can also be used for a night of stargazing. (le sigh) <Catch the Pepe Le Pew reference? It IS his favorite holiday!

The GoPro HERO 3 makes a great gift for the adrenaline junky/aspiring film maker, They have a few different models out now and if your guy already has the actual camera try getting him one of the many camera mounts so he can use it in style!

  (I know I used the HERO 2 in the picture but that is the one my brothers' use! ;))

The Cologne(AQUA DI GIO) and watch(Fossil) are for the more sophisticated guys that care about appearances.

The beats and the Guitar pick shaped deck of cards is for the music lover.

The bow ties are vintage and adorable meant for the adorkable guy who digs that kind of stuff!

Adorkable is a good thing if anyone was wondering!

All of these things are just suggestions to give you some inspiration you can mix things up to suit your guy or you don't even have to choose any of these items at all!

I hope no one ever thinks that I'm saying BUY THIS because I say so!

I just want to give a visual aid, if you will, for those who are looking for suggestions! ^_^ 

  

Did you notice that the ladies gifts were shades of pink and now the guy's things are mostly red?!

I did plan the pink but this time the red and black thing just kind of happened!

It was too cool not to point out! 

I hope this helped ladies!

XOXO

My Funny Valentine

Valentine's Day is just around the corner!

Here are some pretty pink items that I have enjoyed and maybe you would too!

You can buy them for your loved one, special someone or even yourself!

The REVLON colorburst matte balm is in the shade Unapologetic.

The NYX butter gloss is in the shade Strawberry Parfait.

The Tart Amazonian clay 12 hour blush is in the color achiote.

I know the perfume is an obvious one but just in case someone doesn't know it's the Marc Jacobs scent Daisy Eau So Fresh.

It smells beautiful and the bottle is just the CUTEST thing!!! 

This picture was taken in the reflection of my Urban Decay NAKED palette, If anyone on your list loves makeup any of the 3 NAKED palettes will be a hit!

I've been eyeing the NAKED3 since it came out and I might just have to go for it!

I hope this helped someone out who was still trying to make those last minute decisions! 

And while all of these things are fun and pretty to play with, the most important part of Valentine's day is letting your sweetheart and the people around you know how much you love and care for them! 

Writing a sweet love letter from the heart is probably one of the best gift ideas EVER!!!

The Beatles said it better than I ever could!

"I don't care too much for money cause money can't buy me love"

Different people have different love languages and that is okay, as long as a couple understands each other's language!

Also a word to the single people, go out or stay in with some of your single friends!

DON'T post on facebook or any other social media site how lonely you will forever be and how it's "Single awareness day" I love you but it's not healthy to dwell on the negative!

If you don't have any single friends or you are a lone wolf to begin with take yourself out on a date!

If you're not into crowds wear your cutest pj's and watch your favorite movie/show marathon with your favorite two people in the world Ben&Jerry!

Some might think that's depressing but the crazy cat lady side of me thinks that sounds like a merry little time!

(It's funny that I say side of me like the other "normal" side exists) 

My point is you can choose to be happy or depressed, I've been single most of my life but I still love love.

I'm glad that we have a day celebrating butterflies in our stomaches, stars in our eyes and kisses that make the world stand still!

And if that's too cheesy for you remember that valentine candy goes on sale the next day...

Yep, I went there!

My Birthday Suit... Sort of.

 Breakfast in bed.

 Wearing one of the things from that box you saw earlier.

These Earrings, I'm obsessed!

What I wore to church!

 I love the gold beading on this vintage cardigan my sister gave me!

Closeup of these stunners!!!

 The sun was so bright we hid behind this pine tree!

There's a photography tip for you!

Not that i'm a professional! ;) 

 My cake was strawberry with cream cheese icing and yes it tasted even better than it looked if that's possible!  

 We didn't really put the right amount of candles on... I got a little candle happy!

The long thin ones were sparkler candles, the more the merrier right?!

 TA-DA! I had two cakes!

This one was the same flavor as the other but with a nice layer of ice cream in the middle!!!

 We ended the night by sipping Mom's hot chocolate (topped off with home made whipped cream) around the fire with family and friends!!!

 The earrings are by Sorrelli a fabulous jewelry brand with a great reputation!

The link to their online store is Here!

I had a very happy birthday and I didn't have to beg Colton to take these outfit pictures because, "But it's my Birthday." works almost every time! ;)

In case you are confused I would like to clarify that my birthday was on Sunday and I'm just getting around to posting this!

Hence the church reference and Sunday dress!

I'm glad my birthday fell on a Sunday this year because I got to put on my "Birthday suit" and wear one of my presents!

That reminds me, I will include the other trinkets in that box on a later blog!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful birthday this year and if your's hasn't come yet be patient, it will come and go before you know it!

xoxo
