Bragging on tiger gems again!

You guys! I worked with TigerGems last year when I got my first engagement and wedding ring set from them. I was super blown away with their price point, the durability of the jewelry, the shipping time and the customer service it was an easy yes to work with them again. Tabitha has always been so easy to work with which is what you want when your picking out a special sentiment you get to carry on your hand everywhere with you. This time around I decided to pick out the 3ct oval solitaire ring and the half eternity band.

So ladies, have you ever looked down at your engagement ring and or wedding band and thought, if I had it my way I would of picked something else? That was me! My engagement ring was put together through hand me downs because let’s face it, real diamonds are expensive. All in all my set costs $3000 but still isn’t what I would have chosen. Personally I like the bigger stones!! Now here’s where Tiger Gems saved me! The affordable option where you can choose a larger size, the perfect cut and not spend over $1000!!! Now the question I get asked by all my girlfriends, does it hold up? YES!! You guys, I sleep, I shower, I cook, I clean. I do everything with my jewelry on and the ring has worn exactly how my real set would. Quality of course is everything in something you wear daily and they’ve nailed it!

Now I know there’s some of you out there who love your original set, but I’ve seen time and time again friends who wanted something different or something more but couldn’t afford it. For me I’d rather spend my money on a house or something for my family and it makes me so happy I can help friends do the same! I get to wear the perfect ring that looks like it cost me over $20,000 without actually having to spend that money!

Tabitha was nice enough to give me a discount code to share with you guys! You can use “HAUTE2019” at check out and get 15% off anything regualar priced!

The side hustle that changed my life

Two years ago today my life changed forever! I signed up for this little lipstick wholesale account thing where I was able to buy this lipstick and a whole lot of other stuff that didn’t come off for an awesome discount! 

Now In the last two years I’ve done a whole lot more than just purchase some discounted lipstick. I decided to make this a business. I hit a few ranks, added over 150 boss babes to my team, went to some life changing  events, met some amazing life long friends and made lots and lots of money! Not only all that but most importantly my skins changed and I’ve changed. At 28 my skin has never looked better than it does now and it’s all because I found some really great products! I also have a better outlook on life and I work daily on being the best version of me.

Did I think about those things prior to senegence? Heck no! 

I actually stop and think daily about what I’m thankful for and who I love. If you don’t do these things it’s likely you’re not fulfilled each day you live your life. Either you hate your job, you’re unhappy, you’re not healthy or whatever it may be, you’re not fulfilled. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the last two years it’s do what makes you happy! You only get one life, why waste it doing a job you hate! Never did I think that would be lipstick or makeup but wahhhbam, it is! 

That little lipstick thing is now a big lipstick thing that I’m so very grateful for! I get to share the best version of me with you guys every day because I choose to live life for me and no body else. I don’t know about you guys but I’m proud of me!! ☺️

Cheers to 2 years! 🥂🥳

"HAUTEADV" for 15% off

I just about died when I came across @tigergemstones you guys! I had a friend previously work with them and completely rave about their whole experience. Something that’s always been in the back of my mind was wanting a new wedding band and engagement ring. The final product of my original set was all pieces my dad gave to me to make into something of my own. Although it came out beautiful it’s on the small side and still $3000 worth of platinum and diamond. The real stuff is expensive you guys!! As soon as I got on tiger Gems website I was in love. I found my dream set which was pretty close to my original set but larger. I knew I just had to reach out which later turned into a collaboration.

I ended up working with Tabitha who is amazing. The customer service she provides is exceptional! She was very helpful, timely in her responses and all around great. I ended up picking out the 4ct solitaire engagement ring, 4ct tw eternity band and the 4ct tw earnings to match. The set is incredible! It’s made from sterling silver and a diamond simulant which mimics how real diamonds look and is surprisingly very durable. I eat, sleep, shower and live life in my ring set not having to worry about anything. I’m all about durability and practicality so when I first ordered these I was a bit worried they would be too big and too clunky.

Tiger Gems proved me wrong and I got all of this without paying a fortune. There website has something for everyone. Tons of different styles to match all personalities and the prices are affordable. This is something a lot of people have to think about along with their wedding. Do you want to blow a bunch of money on one day or a material item (like a ring set) when you could be buying a house or new car? This choice was easy for me and my husband. I like my money to go towards my family so I’m all about the fake!

Every time I tell my friends about my set they all go straight to the site! You can get what you want and not break the bank!!! Thank you again tabitha for taking care of me and giving me the best tiger Gems experience ever!!!

Faux leather side tie sandal:

Adorable, right!? I saw these and knew I needed to have them. Anything boho with ties screams my name. With the faux leather I thought immediately they would not be comfortable but they are! They run a bit small so I recommend getting the next size up for maximum comfort.

Boho indie faux suede textured ankle booties:
I know Iv'e preached comfort with some of these shoes but really, these booties are so comfortable. Any woman knows most cute shoes with a heal are not comfortable. It's like you get one or the other. That's one thing I love about Fashionjunkee! If I had to pick two of my favorites based off of style AND COMFORT, it would be these and the caged open toe black ones I posted about above.
