Mermaid Scale Earrings

Jewelry:Siren Blue Mermaid Scale Earrings
Handmade by: Amanda Nouguier
Demensions: 12mm
Found it at: Pearls and Prim (Etsy Shop)
Price at time of purchase: $15.00 (for 4 pair)

The price averages out to $3.75 a pair. Yes, seriously.

These blue beauties are are fun way to show off your inner mermaid. The quality is top notch and they arrive perfectly wrapped and ready to be gifted (even if it's a treat for you).

The shop offers several colors to choose from (the ones pictured are my fav). I paired the earrings with these for a night out. My goodness it went over well. I received compliments the entire night!

I love having an original style.

Siren Perfume


Perfume:Siren 3.4oz bottle
By: Paris Hilton
Scent: Sweet scent with hints of floral, fruit, vanilla, and citrus.
 Found it at: Ross Department Store
Price at time of purchase: $9.99
Also spotted at Target 
Price Range: $9.99-$17.99

I ran across this treasure while shopping in Ross. The package had a attractive gold mermaid on the front which of course instantly drew my attention. There is no tester station in this particular store so I would be taking a huge leap of faith if I purchased it, but considering that I've purchased Paris Hilton perfumes before with little regret, it would all come down to price. I flipped the package and saw that it was reasonably priced...sold! Worse case scenario I'd end up giving it too my daughter.

It was a keeper!

Pearl Oysters

Ok, so I don't judge me, but I have a huge obsession with sea life, in fact I often tell my children, I am indeed, a real mermaid. I know, I know (insert side eye here). Anyway, for Christmas, I purchased all of the girls (my 3 daughters and 5 nieces) a pearl oyster, along with a pearl cage necklace.

I thought these were one of the coolest gifts ever (hint, hint: Valentine's Day is coming up).  Not only because they were beautiful and I believe every girl should own real pearls in her lifetime, but my teacher brain kicked in thinking about all the science and learning experiences this gift has to offer!

Here's what they look like:

 They arrive in an easy to open pop top can, along with a sheet that reveals what each pearl symbolizes. Also included, is a small tool to help crack open the shell.
This is what the oyster shell looks like. It is based in a small amount of alcohol to mask any sea smell that once existed.


After prying open the shell, this is what the pearl looks like inside.

Here is an even closer look.


 Isn't it beautifully interesting?

Here's a shot of the pearl alone. Mine was a gorgeous warm pink tone. I love that it wasn't a perfect circle. It gives such an organic feel.
