Diamond Candle Review & Giveaway

Recently I was contacted by a rep from Diamond Candles to review a candle. I can't lie, I was THRILLED! A Diamond Candle has been on my wish list for months, so I was excited that I was able to try the company out.

In every Diamond Candle you receive a ring. The ring ranges in value from $10-$5,000 and comes in popular sizes. I have read it takes about 15 hours of  burning to get down far enough to get the ring out. The value of the ring isn't immediately known, but these steps can help you estimate:

1. If the ring has '14k' or similar information imprinted on the inside of the band than you have a ring that is worth $100+. We advise that you take it to a jeweler to get a verbal estimate to see if it is worth $100's or $1,000's.

2. If the ring has 'Thailand' or something similar imprinted on the inside of the band it is most likely worth $100 or less.


3. Unmarked rings are likely to be toward the $10 range but could be valued up to $100.

I can't wait until I can see what ring I received!! I will definitely post about it when I find it.



I picked the scent "Cinnamon Tea". With the fall season falling upon us, I wanted a spicy scent. Cinnamon always makes me think of fall for some reason. The scent is beautiful and fills my entire house.



As you can above, there is a little circle that tells you approximately where the package is that contains your ring. This page on the Diamond Candles website shows how to fish your ring out of the wax.

Want to try out a Diamond Candle for yourself?? Then enter the giveaway below!!!

I received a complimentary Diamond Candle for this review and giveaway. All opinions are honest and are my own.

Day #316: Shabby Apple

Hi friends!! A couple of announcements...

First, I decided to re-vamp my ad spots and add them back. I initially decided I didn't have time to keep up this summer, however, I think as long as I keep the number of ads I accept at a time down, I should be able to keep up. So, please head over to my sponsor page and chose an ad spot!! The prices range from $10 to free! Bob was recently laid off again, so all the money made either goes into blog projects or gets put into a savings account. Thanks for the love and support this past year!!

Moving on...

One of my favorite parts of blogging is finding new places to shop, especially places that offer plus sized clothing for curvy girls such as myself. Through blogging, I was introduced to Shabby Apple. A site that I absolutely love. Here are some of my favorite looks from a few of their collections:

One. Meant to Be  Tiffany blue vintage lace dress

Two. Gondola Kelly green top with navy striped skirt

Three. The Red Queen Red, lace dress

Cute, right??! Well, as a special treat for my blog readers, Shabby Apple is offering one of you a $50 Gift Card!!! Enter below!

Day #253: Tension.

Tension is taking over my back and neck. 
My stress level has continued to rise, which makes me tense my muscles in neck and upper back. I have huge knots. I want this job so badly, my muscles are tight and knotting up. Oui.

My birthday was Tuesday and unfortunately, I spent it at home, with a stomach bug. I didn't feel good when I went to bed on Monday night, and sure enough I woke up around 4am, with nausea and vomiting. Ugh. That is not how I wanted to start my 28th year. Luckily, my husband took good care of me and made me some chicken noodle soup.


Today I took it easy, finished some homework, took a nice long nap, then went out to dinner with my parents and Bob. We even went out for ice cream afterwards. It was a nice night out!

Afterwards, Bob and I rented "Lincoln"...definitely a must-see if you are a history buff! Daniel Day Lewis did an AMAZING job playing Lincoln. Definitely deserved his Oscar win!

Alright, sorry for the uninteresting post but I need to finish up some homework before I go shopping for a good interview outfit!

Don't forget to enter my sponsor giveaway!

Day #173: New Camera & MEGA Giveaway

Happy Monday friends!!

It's my fourth day working in the very, busy, flu-invested emergency room. Whew, it's been a long weekend.

If you're new here, you might be curious why I title every blog entry with the day #. Well, I started writing this blog back in July. I vowed to write in it everyday for one whole year (read my first entry here).

Why you ask? This isn't my first blog. It is the first blog I have written in for more than a couple months. Which is my eyes, makes it a success. Anyways, I have been naming the title of the blog with date so I know where I am at. Almost half-way there! Once I hit the year mark, I plan on setting more "blog hours", like most bloggers do. 

Let me tell you, it's hard to think of things to write about everyday since most of my days are kind of boring. 

In other news, I purchased a camera today. Sort of. At work we are awarded points. These points are given when you receive patient praise, joining committees, etc. Well, I had some built up so I bought an Olympus - VR-340 16.0-Megapixel Digital Camera. It's definitely an upgrade from my current digital camera. 


Olympus VR-340 16MP 10X Optical Zoom Black Digital Camera V105080BU000 (Google Affiliate Ad)

It's not the camera I ultimately want, but it will work and hopefully well enough to start my fashion blog. I looked up reviews online and it seems to be well received and all reviews are good. I will let you know what I think after I get it!  I had enough points left over to get a tripod. Wee!

AND Before you go, enter the following THREE giveaways!!! BreAnna from Peacoats & Plaid has put together an amazing, MEGA giveaway to kick the year off right!!! Over $800 in prizes, split between 3 lucky winners!!!

Good luck!!

Welcome to the biggest giveaway of 2013!
