Revive Yourself with Jewels: Stella & Dot Giveaway

Tax Day Despair

So, it's tax time. For many of us, that means digging deep into our mostly empty pockets to pay our share to the government. Generally, tax day is April 15^th each year, and I thought it would be fun to give away a beautiful piece of jewelry to help chase away the tax day doldrums.

Alas, thanks to my friend, Anna, I now know that because Emancipation Day, a holiday celebrated by the District of Columbia falls on April 15^th this year and is treated the same as a federal holiday for governmental purposes, 2010 taxes are due on Monday, April 18^th {which means I have 3 extra days to do my taxes}.

Stella & Dot

Regardless, I'm still having a fabulous Giveaway sponsored by Stella & Dot Stylist {and my friend} Jennifer Allen. If you don't know Stella & Dot Jewelry, you're in for a treat. Their new spring collection is full of beautiful, fun and dramatic pieces. Stella & Dot also has cute and whimsical pieces for young girls too. You can check out Jennifer's page and the new collection here.

Jennifer has graciously offered the Revival Bracelet for the Giveaway. It's described as "Reconstituted ivory beads combined with crystal pave balls in hematite, silver and rose gold." It's a fantastic bracelet to wear alone or stack with other interesting pieces. Take a look through the Stella & Dot collection for inspiration on how to wear this and other pieces of jewelry. The Revival Bracelet retails for $34.00.

Jennifer is a vivacious and stylish HR consultant, mom and wife, in addition to being a Stella & Dot Stylist. I'm blessed to call her a friend. I met Jennifer through my MOPS {Mothers of Preschoolers} group in September, and we instantly bonded over our love of local eateries. If you are interested in ordering jewelry, attending a trunk show or hosting a trunk show with Jennifer, you can contact her here.

I saw my confident, handsome, strong husband head off to his first day of work in over a year! If ever a man can "beam from ear to ear", he did!

I saw my grand baby,JP,eight mo.old moving two tops at one time,while his Dad and mom looked on proudly.

I saw my twin boys sit next to each other at the table voluntarily and get along for a couple of minutes. Beautiful :)

I saw beach sand today.This may sound crazy but after a long cold and snowy winter it was like heaven just to lay on it even though the lake was still frozen with ice.

I actually do a daily project finding something beautiful that I'm thankful for. The ones from the past week include: an impromptu picnic, coffee w/ friends, a quiet night on the couch, the sound of my children's laughter, open-toed shoes, sidewalk chalk art, and my daughter's green eyes.

I just tweeted this.:)

Having my 5 year old and 3 year old play together (peacefully) outside finally is beautiful to me!

Something beautiful and completely unexpected that I saw this week was a message written on a pedestrian bridge over 94W, right before Huron, it simply said "Let it go" and for whatever reason it really spoke to me.

Three owls taking flight at Papa's Place Sunday evening and the beautiful sight of rain in this drought stricken area!

The lingering sound in my head of my grandson's voices and the laughter of their parents are things of beauty to me along with the strawberries blooming outside my door!

I enjoyed the beautiful weather yesterday afternoon sipping wine and snacking on mussels at Amore Victoria's patio with my husband. It felt so good to feel the warm sun on my face!

My 3-year-old daughter's first "person" drawing- beautiful!

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a nice hour in the hammock on Monday afternoon with each other after work and some cold Blue Moon beer. It's beautiful that we lived such a blessed life in so many ways, even the most simple!
