Oh, just some things I love + a Giveaway!

So let’s talk about some things I love….

I obviously love Reeses.
I love coffee.
I love my family and friends, plus my boyfriend.
I love candles.
I love jewelry.
I may just be an “i love you” slut.

When I can combine two of my loves into one, it’s even better!

Coffee with a reeses?  A dynamic duo and something I would do almost anything for.
Family, Friends, and boyfriend who all hang out and enjoy each others company? Pure joy!
Jewelry mixed with a candle? What would you NOT love about that!?

I was excited to be contacted by Diamond Candles to do a review AND giveaway!  Before I jumped on this wagon though, I decided to do a little research.  I found out that Diamond Candles are 100% soy, natural, and eco-friendly!  I know y’all have heard me talk about veganism here on the blog and so when I saw that these candles contained soy (which is a huge vegan product) I was basically sold!  I responded back and eagerly awaited my code to pick out my own candle!

 I’ve recently been a huge pomegranate lover!  I tried the pomegranate Lifeway Kefir product and loved it and usually when I choose pomegranate flavored anything, I have no complaints!

I decided to order the ‘Pomegranate Lemonade‘ scent and anxiously awaited its arrival!

Each of the candles come with a ring wrapped inside!   The ring could be worth $10, $100, $1,000, or $5,000.  They say that if your ring has a 14K symbol inside the band, then you should take it for a verbal appraisal!

I started burning my candle immediately and had it burning throughout most of the day because I was so excited to get to my ring!

You could finally start to see the gold sealing for the ring!

And then THIS happened!  Oh happy day!

I had help from a trusty paperclip to unwrap this beauty!  Inside the gold wrapping was a little bity ziplock pouch containing my ring!  Unfortunately, I didn’t see a whopping 14K symbol inside the band… oh well!

I love the beautiful red color of my ring and I’m excited about pairing it with some cute outfits!

I do have one issue though….

It’s too big.

I absolutely LOVE what this company stands for and I enjoy the excitement of getting 2 things in one and waiting patiently like it’s Christmas day for the candle to burn down to my ring!  I will say that one disadvantage though is that you don’t know what ring you’ll get (so you may not actually like it) and you also don’t know what size you’ll get.  Mine is obviously too big.  I can hold it on my finger ok, but there’s a chance of it slipping off.  I’ll probably get something to help make it tighter.  If you have a normal hand size though, it shouldn’t be a problem.  My little fingers are abnormally small for some reason.  I pop my fingers all the time too, so it’s hard for me to believe that myth!

You can see some of the other rings that people have gotten here

Because of how much I enjoyed this product, I’m excited to share the opportunity with you!  Enter below to receive your own Diamond Candle and see what kind of ring you get inside!  It’s so much fun and they have some remarkable scents!

Gloster, MS {part 2} The Wedding Day!

I’m starting to get annoyed with using my phone for all of my pictures.  I think I’m getting to the point where I want good quality photos and I’d like to get into some photography.  I find myself not taking as many pictures or not taking important pictures because I’m tired of using my phone to do so.  Does anyone else have that problem?  Am I the only crazy person?

Anyways, let me give you a picture re-cap of some wedding day festivities for my sweet friends Jamey & Ben!  You can see the first part of my first few days in Gloster, MS here!  Sorry, these aren’t in any specific order, they’re just random shots from our day! 🙂  One day I hope to get better at re-capping posts… at this particular moment though, I don’t have the patience to put into it!

Me and the sweet MOH!

I should also point out that she’s hilarious, like all the time!

Me and Victoria, another bridesmaid! Do you see our adorable bridesmaid gift?!

All fancied up, ready to go!

What’s a wedding day w/o selfies… and might a mention.. I was having the perfect hair day!

The photographer made her this!  Adorable, right?!

Just another selfie!  Again, with the perfect hair!

And again… wow, I was really into myself this day haha.

Another bridesmaid, can I PLEASE point out this Lady GAGA toothbrush!?  It sings to you for the length of time you should brush your teeth! I almost died…

The Bride to be bright and early!

She had a fabulous assortment of fruit for breakfast

I, of course, went for a brownie from the night before! #noshame

We also decorated mustaches for pictures
And it wouldn’t be any wedding I’m in if it weren’t for the wobble!  We were teaching the bride how to wobble.
