amor verdadero necklace

My Amor Verdadero (True Love) may be returning home from his deployment in as little as two weeks! Perhaps when he gets back, he’ll buy me one of these lovely little 14k gold-fill discs from Anne Kiel as a belated Valentine’s day present.

with this ring

Dear Generous Husband,

Born in March, my birthstone is Aquamarine. I think these simple stacking 14K gold and Aquamarine rings would make a fantastic 29th birthday present. (Yikes, 29!) What do you think?

Love,

Your Adoring and Appreciative Wife

PS – I found a 20% discount on this designer, oh wonderful husband. Just let me know if you’d like it…

oxygen facial

Nearly a year ago I received a $100 gift certificate to a local day spa that I’ve yet to use. Why? I guess I was waiting for the “perfect” occasion. Well, now seems as good a time as any to cash it for a facial or a massage. I’ve been feeling pretty down since J left on December 13 and think that indulging in some pampering might help to cheer me up.

I’m leaning towards getting a facial since I’ve never had one. The O24U sounds particularly interesting:

Oxygen therapy is used to deliver antioxidants to the skin, and protects the epidermis from sun damage, pollution and stress. It is scientifically proven to eliminate erythma (redness) and irritation, and fights the bacteria associated with acne.

A full hour costs exactly $100, whereas a Signature Facial is $85/1 hour and a Deluxe Facial is $115/1 hour and 15 minutes.

To all the spa-addicts who read my blog: Have you ever had an oxygen facial? Did you love it? Hate it? Have no opinion one way or the other? Please share!

feel good friday

For days when you’re feeling down, this serotonin necklace (based on the molecular shape of serotonin) might be just the talisman you need to start feeling happy again.  Designed by a scientist-turned-jeweler (true story!), the pendant is made of sterling silver, 1.5 inches wide, and is attached to an adjustable 18 inch sterling silver oval link chain.

But if the serotonin necklace doesn’t do the job, there’s always Prozac*… and Jonathan Adler’s cheeky canister to hold your happy pills.

*Disclaimer: I don’t take Prozac, but if I did, I’d definitely use Adler’s Prozac container to store my meds.

i’ve got my omaha city t-shirt, do you?

We had our mail held at the Post Office while we were on our honeymoon, and I picked up this enormous pile from them on Monday. There were a couple of magazines (really, did Lucky HAVE to put Jessica Simpson on the cover?), some large envelopes containing information about our new house, bills (of course) and, to my delight, this!

Thank you Andy, Micah and Nick for my free t-shirt!  I promise to wear it all over town. I love that my idea for an Omaha city shirt actually came to fruition and hope that you get lots of orders from my fellow Omahans.
