Hello Friends,

It’s that time of year again when everyone seems a little bit nicer and there is plenty of goodwill to go around. So you can see why December is my favorite month and Christmas is my favorite holiday. There are gifts to buy, parties to attend, decorations to put up and family to connect with. As I was thinking about the red dress that I would be wearing to the Christmas parties that I will be attending, I started thinking about how I would accessorize the dress; and the most perfect piece of jewelry came to mind. It is the sterling silver twisted wire cuff bracelet by James Avery Jewelry! This piece is so versatile that it can be worn casually with a sweater and a pair of jeans or as a decorative piece of ice to wear on my wrist that will enhance my red christmas dress. I also chose the Delicate Forged stackable sterling silver rings that can be worn separately to show off the details of each ring.

One thing that I noticed when I’m wearing James Avery Jewelry is that it evokes a sense of elegance and style. All of James Avery Jewelry is beautifully made here in Texas Hill Country and is created to celebrate life through the beauty of design. At James Avery Jewelry, they understand what makes a holiday special: family time, reflections of faith and the giving of thoughtful, meaningful gifts to the people you love. It is a family-owned company and as such, they understand the importance of recognizing that everyone has a story to tell. For them, their pieces have meaningful messages that they would like to convey to their customers. The message is that their pieces can show off your personal style!

So thank you, James Avery, for enabling me to feel so special in your amazing jewelry. Listed below is the James Avery website so you can view their new releases and gift ideas for your loved ones.

Birthday In Seattle

- Leave a Comment

I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is over! I feel like it flew by so fast. As I promised, my Seattle trip post is finally here. I have to say that Seattle is pretty much what everyone said it would be…”absolutely Amazing”! The city, food, museums, trees, weather and culture are all unique! Seattle is definitely a city that I want to revisit.

The first day that my cousin, Krystal, my friend, Celenia and myself arrived in Seattle; we had to check out Pike Place Market. Pike Place Market is a place where there is lots of food stands, restaurants, shops, fresh fish and beautiful flowers. You are going to be tempted to buy everything and the cost is very affordable. However, if you will be walking all over the city in the rain, like we were; you may want to keep your spending to a minimum. We did find a cute restaurant at Pike Place Market that I would highly recommend. Athenian is a seafood and bar restaurant. The food was delicious and the drinks were tasty.The halibut fish was ‘hands down” my favorite dish. After eating we decided to check out a point of interest in the city. Apparently the Gum Wall is really famous. It is basically a wall that people stick their chewed gum on.
On our second day in Seattle, we spent the entire day site seeing.We wanted to experience as much as we could in one day; so our first stop was the Chihuly Garden and Glass Center. The art inside Chihuly is made of glass and it is so colorful that it is mesmerizing! Our second stop was The Space Needle. It is a great way to see the whole city of Seattle. As we were feeling super adventurous; we decided to jump on the ferry to Bremerton. On our way to Bremerton, we were fortunate enough to see whales in the ocean. What a magnificent sight! Bremerton is a small town that has cute shops, wineries, and great restaurants. We stopped at The Harbor Public House restaurant that has a cottage atmosphere over looking the harbor. This is another place that you’ll want to revisit.
Our last day in Seattle we visited The Museum of Flight. It’s a cool museum that has a lot of unique planes. I was so excited to go on the Underground tour, which was my favorite. I learned so much about Seattle and how it was built. I also learned that it is haunted! After our tour, we found a cute little bar that just opened. Bad Bishop has an urban atmosphere with delicious food. I’m really looking forward to visiting again.
Yes, Seattle is known for its cold and rainy weather; but the Seattle that I got to experience was beautiful. So thank you Seattle for an awesome birthday experience!

Below I have linked a couple of my favorite places that I highly suggested visiting in Seattle:

1). Starbucks Reserve Roastery & Tasting Room

2). Pike Place Market 

3). The Gum Wall

4). Chihuly Garden and Glass

5). Space Needle

7). The Museum of Flights
