One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to be stylish is by trying out new accessories. I love to wear jewelry daily, and necklaces are my favorite. I have quite a few in my collection, especially Judaic designs.

Ka Gold Jewelry takes the traditional designs we all know and love and makes them into something unique, using sacred geometry. Sacred geometry is a term which describes the geometrical laws which create everything in existence. Master Jeweler, David Weitzman, has spent many years studying Kabbalah, Egyptian wisdom, Judaism, Tibetan Buddhism and other concepts. His goal is to create jewelry that incorporates sacred symbols for healing, balance, and unity.

Because there are so many gorgeous designs to pick from, looking through their site is delightful. I wear gold mostly but I’ve been wanting to try something new in silver, so that narrowed it down a bit. Finding this beauty, that’s supposed to bring the wearer a great feeling of self confidence, security, and balance, was a dream come true.

This silver Star of David pendant is engraved with a sentence from Psalm 91, along the outer edge, and has a lovely stone in the center. It can be customized by selecting your preferred stone and chain length/type. Since turquoise is my birthstone (December), that’s what I picked.

Whenever I find something online, I’m always curious to see if I’ll like it as much in person and my necklace didn’t disappoint. It was super-shiny out of the box, smooth, and lightweight in feel without being flimsy. It’s also much larger than a typical pendant, making it a standout piece that’s quite eye catching.

I’ve worn it three times since it arrived last week and it’s great for day or night events. When I wore it to a beauty salon, the receptionist even commented on how pretty it was (love that!). I can see myself enjoying this necklace for years to come.

Ka Gold Jewelry has generously offered this exquisite necklace for a giveaway. There will be one winner and entries will be open until September 9. Good luck to all!

Which stone would you pick?

Not all kitchenware is created equally. (Just ask anyone who’s bought a flimsy piece of junk that broke after two uses and they’ll agree). Many companies use cheaper, thinner materials to cut corners, resulting in a low quality product. Sweese, on the other hand, creates pieces that are not only durable, but also beautiful, like this porcelain butter dish.

Unlike metal or plastic, porcelain doesn’t corrode and tends to last a very long time. Other features I love include:

• Convenient – Soft, spreadable butter ready whenever you need it for eating or baking.
• Sturdy – More chip-resistant than glass. 
• Large Size – Rectangular shape is wide and deep enough to hold 2 sticks of butter.
• Stain Free – The porcelain material doesn’t discolor.
• Snug lid – The cork lid with silicone ring seals perfectly, which helps to maintain freshness.
• Multi-Use – Base can be used in the microwave, oven, and dishwasher. (Lid should be washed separately by hand.)
• Safe – Lead free and non toxic.

Before refrigeration existed, butter dishes were common. Now, they are a rarity! When I was growing up, my Grandmother always used one for dinner parties and I associated them with elegance. Not every meal is a feast, of course, but little touches like these are an easy way to add beauty to our tables on a daily basis.

Want to try a Sweese porcelain butter dish for yourself? Enter the giveaway by 8/5/17 and you could be the winner.

Have you ever used a butter dish before?

Carrying a baby close can feel like the best option, but not all models provide the same level of support. Did you know that some styles can actually be bad for baby? This really surprised me, too!

Unlike traditional baby carriers, Huggs has created a one-of-a-kind hip seat that offers these great features:
