EightSeventeen Cyber Week & Other Random Things

Happy Belated Thanksgiving, everyone!

I hope you all enjoyed the holiday.  Sadly, I had/have the flu and missed out on all the food, fun, and festivities.  Ugh...  I think it's time to invest in some masks.

Louis Vuitton, anyone?

Moon's Harvest Giveaway Prizes & PinkIce.com Winner

Yesterday I received a package from Moon's Harvest Bath and Body Shop.  Sadly, these edible-looking bath treats are not for me.

[You could knock someone out with the bath bomb.  It's the size of a soft ball, and heavy!]

[Body Scrub, Body Butter, and Body Mousse]

One lucky EightSeventeen Jewelry follower will be winning all of these goodies -- and more!  The requirements to participate in my Grand Opening Giveaway have been changed; entering is now as simple as leaving a comment on the giveaway post.  However, please take a minute to read the rules; a simple "enter me" is not what I am looking for.  :)

Check it out!


The winner of my Pink Ice Giveaway is...

Petite Asian Girl!

Congratulations!

If you are not already following PAG's blog, I strongly encourage you to check her site out.  Not only is she gorgeous and incredibly sweet, she epitomizes style and class.  (Her wardrobe would have made Jackie O. green with envy!)

Please send me your full name and mailing address, girlie!  You have one week from today to claim your prize, otherwise a new winner will selected.



New (non-business related) posts will be coming soon, I promise!  Work has been consuming nearly all of my free time.  I haven't put on a full face of make-up in ages.  Yikes!

In addition to working on my jewelry line, I am still participating in Lacy's Be Fit Challenge.  Does anyone have any healthy recipes or workout tips they'd like to share?

Also, does anyone have any idea as to where I can purchase treadmill slippers?  Clearly this gentleman is on to something.



Ha ha ha!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Shoe Dazzle Review & Giveaway [CLOSED]

A few years ago, I was feeling uncharacteristically adventurous.  My adorable husband and I were lounging on the couch when I casually asked, "Do you want to go to Hawai'i tomorrow?"  The next thing I knew, we were boarding a plane and heading towards the beautiful island of Oahu.

  After checking into our hotel, we decided to make a beeline to our room.  We both wanted to freshen up a bit, change into our Bedazzled thong Speedos beach attire, and relax.  As we waited for one of the hotel's six elevators to make its way down to us, we were suddenly engulfed by a hundred Japanese tourists.  Somehow, my husband and I lost one another in the shuffle.  Swimming in a sea of jet black hair, almond shaped eyes, and cameras, I frantically scanned the crowd for my hubby.  (To the untrained eye, I probably appeared to be a part of the Japanese tour group.  Ha!)  Thank goodness my fella is tall.  He stood out like a sore thumb, so I was able to spot him rather quickly.  Locating my short behind was a different story.

Had I been wearing wedges or heels, my husband and I undoubtedly would have spotted one another immediately.  For those who don't believe shoes are important, take note.  Thanks to my evil flip flops, I nearly drowned in a sea of overzealous tourists.  XD

[The Charm Flat & Dust Bag.]

Speaking of shoes, Jackie, a wonderful ShoeDazzle.com employee, kindly sent me a gift card so that I could experience what their company had to offer.

For those of you unfamiliar with ShoeDazzle.com, it is an online shoe and accessory retailer that was co-founded by fashion icon: Kim Kardashian.  Here's how it works:

1.  You take a fun, three minute Style Profile Quiz.
2.  Every month, a personal stylist will recommend an assortment of shoes and accessories they believe you will like based on your Style Profile Quiz answers.
3.  You pay a monthly fee of $39.95, which covers the cost of any one item you would like to purchase.  (Everything they sell is $39.95, and shipping is always free!)  Don't like what your stylist has selected?  Let them know and they will recommend another set of products to choose from.

I was very pleased with the selection I was sent by my stylist.  Despite my deep love for sky high heels, I was in dire need of some pretty flats.  The Charm Flats immediately caught my eye.  (I am a sucker for anything quilted.)  A couple clicks later, and my order was placed.

Two days later, my Shoe Dazzle order was at my door.  I was SO impressed!

[The packaging is girly and cute!]

PROS:  Reviewing what my stylist had recommended was fun.  With such a large assortment of shoes, everyone is bound to find a pair they'd enjoy.  The ordering process was simple.  Shipping was FREE and lightning fast.  The packaging is cute.  A pink dust bag was included at no additional cost.  The quality is fantastic, especially given the price.  The shoes are very comfortable and true to size.

CONS:  The shoes I ordered were created using all man-made materials.  Thus, the shoes don't allow your skin to fully breathe.

Overall, I am extremely impressed.  Shoe Dazzle is a must for all of you shoe junkies on a budget!

Want to win a prize from ShoeDazzle.com, as well as Moon's Harvest Bath and Body, and NARS?  Head over to my jewelry website to find out how!  (I changed the rules; it is now easier to enter.)

Have a wonderful weekend!
