Owning “Real” Jewelry

Have you ever roamed a mall and wondered why there are so many jewelry stores and yet you never seem to see anyone wearing the items in public? Outside of wedding rings and Rolex watches, I never see anyone wearing anything of significance. Maybe that is because we have all adopted this laid-back lifestyle of athletic leisure. We seem to care more about looking like we are going or coming from the gym than actually getting “dressed” for the public. I don’t come from a family that wears a lot of jewelry but I do like seeing it on people. When it isn’t ostentatious, it does give someone the impression of being “put together”. So here are a few “real” jewelry items that I have been looking at lately with Spring in mind. Who knows, maybe I will own some in the future.

Moss Agate Ring
Labradorite & Moonstone Ring
Sapphire Ring
Green Diamond Ring
Green Tourmaline Ring

Love Month = Love Songs

Yes, I am a sucker for love songs so here are 5 I have been listening to lately.

Heart Shaped Travel

Did you know that multiple places around the world are heart-shaped? In honor of Valentine’s Day which just passed, here are some of my favorites.

Sanko Inari Shrine, Aichi
Galesnjak Island, Croatia
The Heart of Antelope Canyon
Nakalele Blowhole, Maui
Heart Shaped Road, Slovenia

Actual V-Day . . .(how it will go)

I don’t know about anyone else but I love holidays and I especially love them when they are low-key. If I ever wanted Valentine’s Day to be a big deal; this year is not the year. I have all-day meetings lasting until 8pm that evening. Luckily I am not the only one with a crazy schedule that day but I do want to start the day off right for everyone just so they know they are loved. I have cards already picked out and written on. I will be picking up flowers the night before and a special treat I had pre-ordered for everyone. The last thing I plan on doing is making breakfast in bed for everyone (and yes, I need to have it done before my first meeting of the day at 8am). 😉 So to honor that vision in my head, I am narrowing down my breakfast choices to the following:

Love Toast
Breakfast Mimosa (Virgin)
Easy Breakfast Parfaits
Mini Pancakes
Pink Yogurt Bowl
Strawberry Hot Chocolate
