Diamonds are a girl’s best friends

Nothing like a bit of bling to get you to start blogging again… I’ll get to that in a minute! Amazingly it’s been nearly a month since my last post and abandoning my blog is something I never expected to happen. In fact, I used to think, how do people just stop blogging when they put so much time into creating a blog in the first place? And then, well, I got a life. To be fair I started free lance writing full-time and so I am essentially still writing every day. Finding the time and energy to write even more for my own blog has just seemed impossible as of late.

We’ve had a busy few months filled with weddings, foster dogs, fund raising events and all the normal stuff in daily life. We’ve had some family members encounter some health struggles and overall have just been plain busy. I’m thrilled to be busy and I hope you all have been doing well also. Someday when I get a few spare moments, I’d like to make some progress on the site redesign and actually start blogging again… hold me to it, will you?

Anyway, as if by fate, just when I needed a little pick me up, I got an email from Anjolee, an online jewelry retailer that lets you customize just about every aspect of your diamond jewelry. After fully admitting that my blog is on the back burner and that I didn’t think it was fair to accept sponsors at this time, she offered me the chance to review a product of theirs. I could hardly resist the opportunity to lay my eyes on a little sparkle so I agreed and requested something that would be fitting as a bridesmaid’s gift. Marla said she knew just the thing—a gorgeous pair of diamond stud earrings.

I made my way to their website to look at their selection of diamond studs and other options. I played around with stone options, metal options and setting options and truly felt that I could make something unique for any person I wanted to give a gift to, or perhaps anytime I wanted to treat myself!

Of course most brides, unless perhaps you are Kate Middleton, can afford to buy their bridesmaids one diamond stud, much less a pair of them! However there are many options available to fit any budget. As sweet as Anjolee is,  the earrings I received aren’t actually real diamonds. The nearly carat earrings that arrived at my door are in fact a good quality cubic zirconium but they are stunning either way and are the perfect accessory for any girl.  I haven’t taken mine off since they arrived.

If you are at a loss at what to get your best girl friends, jewelry could be a great option that lasts forever. And if you are a guy or gal who is planning to propose, Anjolee could be a great place to check out.

Thank you to Anjolee for the gorgeous earrings! You truly made my week.
