LIFE’S TOO SHORT TO SKIP THE TREATS
Go on. Treat yourself.
I was reflecting on the tradition of saying “Trick or Treat” when going door to door on Halloween and had to look up why we would say this. I found out that the expression means “give a treat or risk a prank”… Of course, it is meant in the mildest of meanings, but it suggests that a bunch of pint-sized, costumed superheroes, ghosts, and fairies are holding homeowners ransom for candy, which is essentially what it is. It is an extraordinary event that has stood the test of time and is a delightful event to participate in.
Once we have aged out of trick-or-treating, it is all about the treats but not necessarily the candy. We deserve treats; we work hard, we give of ourselves every day, and darn it!, we deserve something special for ourselves… just for us.
My latest “just for me” item is my first highlight this week – the wide hinge hoop by Hollywood – available in 10mm and 12mm.
The perfect earring for everything, everywhere, and under $40!
The forecast in the valley this week calls for snow! Whoop whoop! So now is the time to get yourself some winter boots – not just winter boots but the best winter boots money can buy. The Nex Grip boots are the ones!, with a built-in ice cleat in the heel, water proof, and rated to -35℃.
This week the Maeva boots are on my mind as a low-profile, super comfortable boot that, even though it has a nylon upper, is still waterproof. Available at just $229.95.
Also on my mind this week is a new ring.
I lost one recently and would like to replace it – the Treasure meditation ring by Meditation Rings speaks to me with its patterned underband and the smooth spinner.
The spinning band helps calm the mind and helps with focus.
Lastly, this week I have the North Star talisman by Vancouver’s Pyrrha Design – this talisman symbolizes guidance and the pursuit of your true calling, inspiring you to navigate your journey with purpose and clarity.
