It is majestical, I tell you!

Majestical is a good word, right?  And it is not overused.  By any means.  Some synonyms are splendid, magnificent, noble, regal.  As in, “Dinner is served, your majesty”  Or “The reception will be held in the majestic theatre” and the person pronounces the “a” in theatre.  I received a wonderful and yes, majestic pair of earrings from Majestical Jewelry www.majestical.com and I felt very special.  I would have appreciated any jewelry item they sent me.  Truly, their selection is gorgeous.   And we women love jewelry as a gift, right?  Even if it is delivered by the mailman!   But it was almost as if they read my mind, when they sent me the leaf cluster earrings.  I had been playing it too safely with small earrings; I needed to make a statement.  I needed to be pushed out of my comfort zone.

I am a word person so the first word that came to my mind when I opened the box was delicate.  Then feminine.  Then enchanting.  Trust me, I could keep going.  But I won’t. Even though I want to.  Then the compliments started rolling in.  “Oh, I love your earrings.” “Oh, my, well, thank you.”  “Those earrings are beautiful, by the way.”  “Oh, thank you.  They were a gift.”  Did I begin to blush?  We all love compliments, don’t we?  These earrings became a real conversation piece.  People at the bus stop and the grocery store mentioned them.  I wish I could tell you the attention bothered me but frankly, I loved it!  Only my martian wave neighbor didn’t budge but I could tell he wanted to say something!  He did a double take the other morning.

Anyway, take a moment to visit www.majestical.com and indulge in a piece of jewelry.  If your valentine didn’t pull through, why not reward yourself with something glittery?  They have something for everyone; gemstone jewelry, charms, silver bangles.  And it’s all affordable, too.  And men, trust me when I tell you this – buy the ladies in your life jewelry.  We don’t really like those practical gifts.  Well, not as much as we like jewelry.  Until next time, glitter on and be fabulous!

A penguin arrives during a snowstorm

A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from the Kigs company suggesting I try a product called a kigurumi costume.   I wondered, “What is a kigurumi?” Is this (yet again) a product that I have not been informed of?  Talk to me, people.  I need to know these things.  I was intrigued.  The email described the product as a ‘Japanese style animal costume.’ This sounds like fun.  So they offered me an animal costume to try out for one of my children.  We emailed each other, my son picked the animal he liked out of a variety of choices, I ordered at Amazon and within days, there was a package at my door.  It was so easy.  And this is December, mind you.  When any number of things could have gone wrong with the item, the shipping, etc.  It was beautiful.  Magical, even.  And I am not even exaggerating.  The whole process from ordering to delivery was seamless.

So, on one of the coldest days of the year (about 20 degrees most of the day) when a snowstorm had rolled into town, our kigurumi arrives.  I didn’t know what to expect from this package but there were squeals of delight from both my kids when the penguin emerged from the snowy carton.  It is super cute.  And super soft.  It is made of fleece. And it is well made.  But what really amazed me about the kig was the transformation of the person in it.  Now I had a penguin in the house.  There was penguin talking.  Ack. Ack.  Penguin waddling.  I thought I was at the aquarium.  There was lots of laughter and joking between my kids.  Then my daughter asked, “Can I try it on?”  “Sure, why not?”  Truth be told, I thought she would think she was too old or too mature.  I was wrong.  Again.  There seems to be a pattern here!

Anyway, I highly recommend this product.  It would be fun for a sleepover or a party or just hanging out.  And it’s warm and cuddly. Cuddly is not a word I use often but it fits here.  They make them for kids and adults. The photos don’t really do them justice.  Not even my photos.  So check out the website www.kigurumis.com  or do what I did and order from Amazon.  Here’s the link to kids kigurumi Amazon page: kigurumi.  They have other styles like a dinosaur, a red panda (which would have been my number one pick – just saying!) and well, go check it out.  I think this is a cool gift idea…for Christmas or any occasion really.  Go kigs!

How cute is this penguin?
