The Classic Brunette

As many of you know, I love it when my jewelry carries a personal meaning. I believe that the most beautiful pieces come with a story, and that's exactly what James Avery believes as well. This family owned company is all about creating those sentimental pieces that celebrate the things that you hold close:love, family, faith, friendship. Things that also happen to coincide with Christmas! So what better way to enjoy the holiday with some timeless and unique pieces that allow you to share your story. With these being my first James Avery pieces, I wanted to make sure I chose items that really spoke to me. Keep reading to see how these rings hold meaning!

It's almost Christmas! These past few months have absolutely flown by, but if it means the holidays get to come faster I'm okay with it. I've had my decorations up since the beginning of November, but I know not everyone goes as holiday crazy as I do. These photos have been sitting on my computer for a few weeks now, but now I think it's the perfect time to share my decor! Thanksgiving has passed, so now it's all Christmas all the time! My decor is definitely a representation of my regular style, AKA pink, gold, and glam. But I also wanted to have a 'classic Christmas' feel as well, let me know if you think I hit the mark!

I swear these past few months have just flown by! How is it already almost Thanksgiving? Although I love Thanksgiving with all my heart, there's no doubt that Christmas is my favorite holiday. The only thing that truly stresses me out this season (besides running into people I don't remember/don't remember me from high school 😬😂) is finding great gifts for people. I'm one of those people who regularly has to ask my friends exactly what they want for the holiday, and if they really don't know I get them a gift card. Not necessarily a bad thing, and I've been getting better over the years. But I'd love to be one of those people who always finds the perfect gift without asking. The worst of the gifts? Stocking stuffers. But luckily I've got a number of gifts in this post that can work in the stocking or under the tree.

Hey y'all it has been quite a long time since making a post on here, about three months in fact! What can I say besides life gets in the way and sometimes that comes first. I love to be open on here, so maybe I'll share more in a future post. For now, let's move on to...buying fake designer bags on Amazon! If you search on Amazon for fake bags you'll have a lot of luck, if you know how to look that is. In this post I'll be sharing the fake Louis Vuitton Neverfulls that I own, how I found them, and the pros and cons of ordering these bags on Amazon!

Periods! Most of you reading this probably get them. So why is it that they are rarely ever talked about? Just like mental health, there's a whole stigma around periods and feminine hygiene, but we're here to break down those barriers! If we all were to open up about these topics a little more we could all help us navigate this life a little better. So I'm starting here on the blog and sharing a few tips for how I feel my absolute best during my worst week of the month. Don't worry though, we won't get too TMI here today, just a little bit of girl talk!
