PROMISE RING

What's love got to do with it? What has happened to our world where your relationship isn't official unless you post it on social media?! People used to give a promise ring to show their love and commitment to each other. I find it really romantic.

Is this ring a passing fad or a new way for couples to declare their love?

Brilliance.com has a new Promise Ring collection. It is a lovely way to say "I Promise" to love you and be faithful to our relationship. Check them out and let your loved one know your promise of love.

NEW ALEX AND ANI

My favorite bangles have come up with new pieces that feature original artwork of Romero Britto.

They are so adorable.

The Swarovski beaded bangles come in new colors and metal finishes including rose gold.

ALEX AND ANI #CARRYLIGHT

My favorite jewelry company has a few new pieces out called the LIBERTY COPPER Collection. These new pieces include a bit of the original copper pieces from the Statue of Liberty. How cool is that?!

PRESENTS

Aww, it's Valentine's Day.

You don't have anybody to buy things for this year?

This is what makes me a good friend. You are ALWAYS welcome to buy me things.

Especially things from Alex and Ani.

They have so many cute new charms.

Kidding. Sort of. But don't forget to get that special someone a present. A present that gives back to the community is even better.
*That's why I love this company and their cute jewelry.

VALENTINE'S DAY Gift Ideas 2016

I'm a sucker for holidays. I just love them. I really just love any excuse to give presents, celebrate, or party maybe. Valentine's Day is the next one coming up. Need a few ideas of gifts to give to that someone you think is super special? Here are my suggestions:

FOR HER:

1. Alex and Ani

Hello! Brand new rose gold bangles, necklace charms, and that arrow ring from Alex and Ani are the perfect way to tell that little lady you might like her a lot.

2. The Gshine [Eye Protect] iPhone 6/6S Screen Protector

Everyone these days is constantly staring at their cell. It's true. Well, this screen protector will help protect those eyes you like to get lost staring into nightly.

The anti-blue light helps reduce 90% of the damaging effects to protect her from eye disease.

This screen protector does not cover the full screen and has a round edge so it is compatible with most phone cases. The protector aids in preventing scratches from keys, coins, or other hard objects that might be in her bag/purse. Finally, it has an oleophobic coating... this means it has a unique technology to prevent fingerprints and oil so it is easy to clean. #kij

3. Gurin Ceramic Flat Iron/Hair Straightener

This flat iron has 1.25 inches ceramic/tourmaline plates and adjustable heat temperature for styling your hair. I love this device because you can either style your hair straight or make it curly depending on your mood with just one styling tool. It works with all hair types, including naturally curly, wavy, oily, fine, or dry hair without any problem. This iron can do all of the things a higher end straightener can do, but at a lower price point. Say hello to gorgeous hair. It also comes with a  satin case for easy storage and travel. #HairStraightener

FOR HIM:

1. Titanium Spork by by OutSmart Gear

If your guy likes to camp or backpack, he might love this titanium spork (3 in 1 metal fork, spoon & knife [Serrated Edge] combo). It is lightweight (weighs 0.8 ounces/22 grams), heat resistant, non-toxic, dishwasher safe, and comes with an easy-lock carrying case with a carabiner ring. #OutSmartGear

2. Rubber Wedding Rings

 I love Jimmy Fallon. His audience has learned some many things from him...Ew! But the most valuable lesson he might have recently shared, is how cool silicone wedding bands are right now. You don't have to worry about losing or damaging your ring. These are perfect for people with active lifestyles who are worried about their metal bands getting stuck on things and possibly hurting your finger. Yikes.

 These rings fit guys with big knuckles with ease and are comfortable. 

I have found two companies that supply really good quality silicone rings. This second one comes with two rings in different colors to support different moods or outfits even. 

Both companies have a great guarantee for their products (which you know is super important for me). #omniarings #siliconeweddingband

FOR BOTH:

1. Selfie Stick

The extendable, pocket size selfie stick by Gshine® is perfect for your selfie loving friends. This is me since I often travel alone. The selfie stick is compatible with most smartphones. It can also work with GoPro Hero cameras/action cams, but the bluetooth remote only works with smartphones. It weighs 118g and is 6.5 inch long so it is very lightweight and convenient to carry in your pocket or purse. The stick is made of high-quality aerospace aluminum alloy and has a rubber grip. The package includes: a monopod, smartphone mount adapter, GoPro screw, camera screw driver, bluetooth remote, and retaining clip for the bluetooth remote. #lok

2. Mini Penguin Massager

The Santamedical sleek mini penguin massager is great for a relaxing massage to tired muscles. It can be used on your neck, back, feet, and ace to seek relief. The massager comes in a white color with two speeds of intensity. It is lightweight and quiet so you can take it with you when you travel to relieve aches and pains. It is also sold for a great price!! #massager

FOR PETS:

1. Bully Sticks and Beef Tendons Combo Pack

This treat pack is a combination of  bully sticks and beef tendons made in the USA by Wyldlife Pets. These treats are good for all sizes and breeds of dogs. The tendons are chondroitin and glucosamine which are supposed to promote healthy cartilage in joints. They are also great for "flossing" and keeping your dog's teeth and gums strong. All Bully sticks are made and processed in the USA. The Wyldlife Pets company has a no questions asked satisfaction guarantee on everything they sell!

My dog sometimes get nervous when she is left home alone. These treats are great for her because both are chews that are good for anxious dogs. They must taste good too (I didn't try them myself) because my dog will do any command in order to get one! #WyldLifePets

Now get out there and get your gifts on time! Happy shopping.

I received these products at a discounted price in return for my honest opinion.

ALEX AND ANI APP

My name is Deanna and I'm an addict. I'm addicted to Alex and Ani jewelry. This is not a joke.

I'm pretty sure there are worse things I could be addicted to though.

Imagine this...I am asked these questions:

"Hey, Deanna, what do you want for Christmas?"

"Hey, Deanna, what can I get you for Hanukkah?"

"Anything you would like while to celebrate being awesome?"

My answer to all of those would be, "How about an ALEX AND ANI bracelet or necklace?!"

But which ones do I already have or want? Well, guess what... Earlier this holiday season, ALEX AND ANI announced the launch of their app, which features a powerful blend of insight, personalized shopping, and symbolic inspiration. An ALEX AND ANI app to help people shop (for me...ahem) is genius. You can mark ones you have and make a wishlist of the ones you want and then you can shop right their in the app. It is fabulous! Download it today if you have the same love for this company and all their positive pieces.

I WILL BUY YOU A GARDEN

I am in love with the new Pursuit of Persephone collection from Alex and Ani.

The bangles are made with pretty colors and shiny silver or gold finishes. Each charm is engraved with a powerful meaning (like all of their amazing products).

If I was a mother, I would LOVE an Alex and Ani e-gift card for my present this year! Too bad dogs can't get credit cards.

ALEX AND ANI ADDICTION

There aren't many things that I think I MUST buy. I can usually talk myself out of making purchases, but for some reason I just LOVE Alex and Ani products. The company and products have great +energy that I can't pass up. I have a wrist full of bangles so I have started buying necklaces.

I am super excited about the new Crystal Infusion Collection. It's perfect for a more dressy accessory day. Check it out. If you can't think of anyone in your life who needs this, you are more than welcome to send some Alex and Ani love my way!

*Don't forget about the $5 off the bangles of the month deal for all MLB fans

BANGLE in the New Year

I might have mentioned that I can say no to buying most things for myself...except for Alex and Ani bangles. They are super cute, inspire your to be your best self, earth conscious, and made in the USA. 

It is hard NOT to love them.

So it's a New Year -- embrace charms that inspire your very best self.

LAVISHY Poppy/ Passion Vintage Set GIVEAWAY

From ancient times and into the modern times, flower symbolism has been a significant part of cultures around the world. We see it in weddings, funerals, holidays, and anniversaries, to name a few. I saw it was different when I lived in the Czech Republic from the United Sates.

Since I am really into jewelry and accessorizing lately, I found the LAVISHY Secret Garden series. Pictured is the poppy/passion vintage set. It features hand crafted double sided pendants with matching earrings and rings with a beautiful flower relief on one side and a positive message on the other. You might have seen this in popular bracelets recently. Super cool, right?! You can wear jewelry that has meaning and inspiration that will never end.

Pendant: 2 x 2 cm
Chain: fine 18 inch with 2 inch extension and cute LAVISHY logo tag.

 Pendant Measurement: 2 x 2 cm

Adjustable to fit finger

Pendant Measurement: 2 x 2 cm for pierced ears

The necklace, earrings, ring all come with a #LAVISHY gift box, are designed in Canada, come in silver or gold, and are nickel free & lead free (hypoallergenic / allergy free).

I think these would make great graduation, birthday, or "just because" gifts.
