Jolica Fair Trade Jewelry Review & #Giveaway $75 Gift Card US/Canada 05/21— Mother’s Day Gift Guide

May 7, 2012 Leave a Comment

Far from ordinary, the Jolica Earrings I received to review are made of silver, are elegant and fun at the same time. While many mothers may have a fair sized collection of jewelry already, the pieces from Jolica are much more unique than the average jewelry items you find in department stores. I received the JE892 earrings, made in Peru. These earrings are simply styled, yet really beautiful. I'm really impressed with the weight of these—I like to know I'm wearing my earrings or else I keep … [Read more...]

Casablanca Antique Gold Ceiling Fan #Giveaway $300+ Value US Only

May 6, 2012 3 Comments

It's going to be getting hotter outside soon, which means that your home will also be feeling the heat. The great thing about ceiling fans is that you can use them all year round. During winter, use a ceiling fan to help push warm air down from the ceiling —this is especially helpful if you have higher than average ceilings. Create some air flow during the warmer months by turning on a ceiling fan. The ceiling fan below, a Casablanca C9K66M Reverie Fan from Del Mar Fans, has a light kit … [Read more...]

Romantic Vintage Lace For Weddings

I think lace is timeless, if it isn't overdone or coupled with giant 80s hairstyles. I like coloured lace and ribbons, especially when they're put together for a wedding dress or reception. Source: elfenpulver.blogspot.com via Rae on Pinterest … [Read more...]

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for Tech-Lovers

May 2, 2012 1 Comment

My mom has amassed a huge collection of jewelry, doesn't want new clothing, and doesn't need anything for the kitchen—but, luckily for me, she does want to upgrade her tech collection. For her birthday, in January, she asked for an MP3 player. My brother and I bought her one, and upgraded the earbuds to more comfortable ones with better sound. She recently mentioned that she wants some new wireless headphones that are rechargeable for Mother's Day. This helps me out a lot—and works out well … [Read more...]

April Showers —My Neighbour Totoro Style

April 29, 2012 5 Comments

When I was in Vancouver, I couldn't get away from the rain—it fell almost daily, making me very happy to see the sunshine when it appeared. The good thing about all that rain was that amount of green—in the grass, the trees and the flowers was endless. Here, however (in Calgary, a very dry city), people get very excited about the prospect of a bit of rain. The thing is, is that the rain is much more spectacular here—thunderstorms, lighting etc. Although I do miss seeing rain on the … [Read more...]
