Everyday Jewelry...

I am finally getting around to a long anticipated post about the most meaningful jewelry I wear, other then my wedding rings of course. As a stay at home mom to two little girls, jewelry is not something I am big on wearing. However I do have a couple pieces that i wear just about everyday. They bring me great joy and happiness.

A few months ago now I met a wonderful women who creates her own glass jewelry pieces. As I was exploring Instagram I came across her page and discovered not only does she make these glass pendents, but she also makes cremation jewelry. I had never heard of cremation jewelry but it sounded like something I needed to have. The loss of my dad is a daily struggle and I use a lot of spacial mementos to help me through the never ending grieving process. I reached out to Cindy from Granny's Groovin Glass to ask a couple questions about what exactly cremation jewelry was. It is exactly what it sounds like! Small pendents with your loved ones ashes inside. I knew right away this is something I needed. I would be able to take my dad with me wherever I went. No one has any idea what my necklace stands for or what is hidden inside unless they ask me. I love that about it, my very own hidden secret. I mailed a small about of my dads ashes from Connecticut to California. I joked about his trip hoping it was a smooth ride and in no time at at he was back home with me! I absolutely love having this necklace!

The second beautiful piece of jewelry I love and wear daily was created personally for me and my daily struggles with the loss of my dad. Again another very meaning piece that I love! I had a couple conversations with Sandra who is an amazing woman. She creates the most beautiful pieces of jewelry. I was telling Sandra about my struggles with the loss of my dad and with my concerns about my moms cancer diagnosis. She took some time to think about our conversation and created the most beautiful healing piece of jewelry for me. When I received it in the mail I was in awe. It is just beautiful. The fact that someone I have never met before would take the time to listen to my story and create a beautiful piece of jewelry just for me, is amazing. I have been blessed to meet someone like Sandra though social media. The beautiful pieces from Lunar Light Jewelry are not something that can be found anywhere else.

If someone asked me about mala beads a couple years ago, I would honestly have no idea what they were referring too. Although losing my dad has been a horribly painful experience, it has opened my eyes to new and exciting ways of life. I believe in spirits and spiritual healing. I believe my dad's spirit visits us often. I believe in the signals my dad sends me on a daily basis. That being said, again I believe in the spirituality in mala beads. The mala beads that I wear often are peace + patience. Meagan, the owner of Malas with a Mission has such a kind heart. I highly encourage you to visit her website and read "her story." <~~~~~ I will make it super simple for you to check it out because I love it and she is so awesome. Meagan gives back to three different organizations with every purchase made. You can choose which organization you would like to help support with, pet adoption, education, and women empowerment. All three wonderful causes! Meagan was also kind enough to provide all of you with a coupon code to receive 25% off your purchase, TRISH25!

Okay lastly, I wear on a daily basis my essential oil's diffuser bracelet from The Oily Choice. Leah customs makes all of her bracelets and they are beautiful. I am a big advocate of essential oils. I use them for many many different things on a daily basis. I just cleaned my kitchen floors with them! What I love about having a diffuser bracelet is that I can bring my oils with me on the go. I put a couple drops onto the bracelet of whatever little boost I might need of the day ahead, and I can smell them at any time during the day. The simple aroma of different essential oils can help in many different ways. As a Young Living essential oil distributor, I can't believe I went as long as I did without one of these amazing pieces!

So there you have it, that's a wrap! I hope you take the time to check out all four of these wonderful women and their businesses. They each have such beautiful pieces to offer! I know there are so many different options for jewelry, as I mentioned I am not a "fashion" jewelry wearer. I prefer a couple special pieces that I can wear anywhere with anything, and I am excited to share them all with you guys!
