Lighten Up Your Life in 2014

“Enjoy life. There’s plenty of time to be dead.” – This quote kind of cracks me up, but also reminds me that life is too short to worry about the small things. My word of the new year is “Balance” –  figuring out how to balance out all of the zillion things competing for my time and attention on a daily basis as a work-from-home mom. I always use the month of January to make a plan for the new year – I evaluate the past year to figure out what worked, what didn’t, and what to work on in the new year. {Which means, my full list of goals is coming soon – I like to share ’em, to keep myself accountable.} And one area of life that definitely needs to be balanced is the whole health/diet/exercise part. My game plan is a “slow and steady wins the race” type of attitude, so I’ve been making lots of small swaps to slowly-but-surely make real, solid, sustainable lifestyle changes. And while some of them are a challenge, there’s one super-duper easy swap I’ve made recently that I wanted to share, because I think you’ll love it too….

At every corner of the Earth, there are artisans of all kinds – making beautiful products for your home and for you in the form of clothing, jewelry and more.  While we have become accustomed to jumping online and ordering pretty much anything we want, what about the artists that do not have access to the internet or ability to run an online shop?  Often times, these wares are even more beautiful than what we have immediate access to, but just do not know it exists.  GlobeIn is an online marketplace with the intent to bring those artisans to the worldwide marketplace.  When you visit GlobeIn, you learn the stories of the artisans, their work and their culture.  So not only do you get unique jewelry or homegoods, but you also get the unique experience of the artist.  In addition to being able to purchase individual pieces for sale, you can also sign up for their monthly subscription box.  Choosing between jewelry, home or home accessories, you can bring world travel to your home each month for just $29.99.

Welcome to the Zymbol Leather Wrap Bracelet Giveaway!

Sponsored by: Zymbol, and Hosted by: Savory Savings

Many times, when someone wears a symbolic piece of jewelry, it is a deeply personal thing that they may or may not want to talk about.  The thing is, some of those pieces of jewelry are very easy to pin point what they mean – mother necklaces with certain symbols representing the loss of a child, charm bracelets with ribbons representing illnesses that have taken our loved ones or any number of things.  Zymbol, an inspirational jewelry company, brings to the table a beautiful and unique design that can mean and represent your special message and maybe that message shifts each time you wear it!  Krista at Savory Savings recently had the chance to check out the Zymbol women’s pendant necklace and shared her thoughts in this review, as well as what the special meaning she found in her Zymbol necklace.
