Sparklingtwi. Handmade Jewelry Site REVIEW

Mother's Day is just around the corner and what Mom would love a great hand made gift. If you lack the talent to do it yourself, I have a suggestion for a piece that is very well crafted and has a heartwarming story behind it too--what Mom could resist that.

 I was recently contacted by Michelle Hynek-Descham  the owner and designer behind 

 

the handcrafted jewelry shop Sparklingtwi. 

Once I heard her story  and saw her splendid work  I had to share.

 

HER STORY

 In early Spring of 2007 I became ill with an autoimmune disease called 

Hashimotos, which is natural destruction of the thyroid gland.

 Because of this, I had to quit my full tome job as my health wasn't up to par.

 I then  needed something to focus on and to keep myself busy, while my levels

 wrecked havoc for me . Sparklingtwi started off as a hobby something that I

 could do to help keep me busy and an outlet for my creative drive. I have

 been designing and selling my work, both online and privately.

I would love one day be able to make this a full time job rather than

 just a hobby. 

I  was thrilled with the elegance of her work on the pair of earrings she sent.

Here are a few other gorgeous pieces available at SPARKINGTWI

Check out for yourself...you might find JUST THE RIGHT PIECE FOR MOM.

Keurig Rivo #REVIEW

We are a coffee and cappuccino family--even my kids like to steal sips of my iced caps on a hot day. Using the Keurig Rivo system is VERY easy. For once my tween didn't moan when I asked her to start the coffee. The guest all enjoyed their beverages and one even said  she's make up the cost with what she's save by creating her perfect latte/cappuccino at home with in months!

our Barista for the night =)

The only down side to the system was a lack of flavor selections  right now...but we got creative with flavored creamers and coffee syrups. It doesn't take K -cups so fingers crossed a larger selection of Rivo packs will be out soon.

The Keurig RIVO definitely rivals any chain barrister out there. Thanks Keurig and House Party!
