To start off 2012, I finally got the time to share my newest love to my readers. Well, recently in the past I mentioned that I only do review on items and companies only if I approve of them. So, with nothing else to do, I would like to start off 2012 product review section by doing a review on Amrita Singh Jewelery.

They have a huge selection of Indian jewelry. I really like a lot of it. Over the past couple years I have been getting interested in the Indian culture and like a lot of their art. It's all very gorgeous and stunning.

Company Info:
Amrita Singh Jewelry was launched in January 2003. Since then, Amrita Singh designs have won the admiration and devotion of the fashion world, celebrities, and the everyday woman. Her unique blend of Old and New Worlds into exuberant and artistic pieces of fashion jewelry and accessories have won her accolades in the fashion industry. The Fine Jewelry Collection is available exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City. Her line for the Contemporary Woman, featuring the popular Bangle Bangle Collection as well as the Bollywood Collection, are available online and at several top American stores, such as Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Macy’s, Intermix, Holt Renfrew, and various other boutiques and stores in the country. The Contemporary collection has recently added other accessories, such as Handbags, Sandals, and Hair accessories. These accessories continue the company’s tradition of high quality, creative, and fashion-forward designs that Amrita Singh Jewelry is renowned for.

They have a huge collection of great pieces, which are unique. In addition each piece has a touch of creativity that can’t be recreated.

For this review, I got the opportunity to review the Paris Pendantin Honey Jade

The Paris Pendant in Honey Jade is a beautiful necklace with a classy and elegant look. It can be worn with a cream, navy and black coloured top. Especially since it stand out and gives the outfit a classy vibe. To be frank when I wore the necklace to school, I felt very mature in a weird way I felt as the necklace gave me character. Since I am mostly immature (if you know me in person you would definitely agree).

Here is a quick description from the website:

Paris Pendant

PEC111- Paris is one of the oldest and important cities in France. The Paris necklace is a simple pendant perfect for work and gatherings.

Natural semi precious stone

18k gold plating over brass.

Can be paired with matching ring and earring

Diameter of Pendant 1.25" with 18" chain

Adjustable Lobster Closure.

Available in: GreenJade, Honey Jade, Lapis & Pink Turquoise

~~List Price: $100.00~~ & Price: $50.00

Since I am huge fan of vintage look, this necklace goes well with my personality. It’s doesn’t look too old or too modern, it’s just right and just the way I want it to be. The necklace is not too thick or too thin. In addition, the pendant was not too heavy. Well choose to review this necklace, I except the pendant to be heavy and put wait to my neck. However thankfully it didn’t do that at all, instead it feels light. Also, what attracts me the most is the texture of the pendant and it did attract more of my friends to stare at the necklace. Overall, I really love the necklace and the best part is that i can pair this necklace with mostly everything in my closet. Plus, I believe that many of you will also fall in love with this website, so go check them out.

So, spread the word to your friends, tell their friends and tell their friends’ friends about this amazing website.

Have fun shopping for the special someone or even just for yourself!

So that being said, I hope all of you have a fantastic day!

With lots of love,
Harija R

In my point of view, the “SKY” is a huge canvas where Mother Nature paints her art works.

Well, it all started because of my imagination and as a stress reliever. During my time of stress and depressing I find that something just watching the sunset or even the sunrise is great way to reduce my stress. In addition, this stress reliever treatment ended up to be my newest hobby, in which I started to take photos of the sky whenever I am stressed.

Down below is the collage of all the photos placed together:

All the support I received on this specific post inspired me to continue my hobby and I ended up taking more than 365 post and I only chose my best photos to display on the collage.

So what do you guys think about these photos and what do you do as your stress reliever?

Since it's a brand "New Year" I really wanted to come up with a unique “HANDMADE” DIY Project to start off 2012. Finally after hours of brainstorming I came up with a jar of inspiration. To start of the year fresh, I believe that we as human beings need inspiration. Inspiration is all around us and it based on how you look at things.

Here is a quick DIY Project on creating your very own "Inspire Me" jar filled with tons of lovely inspiring quotes.

The process it pretty simple and really easy to follow as stated below:

Tools:

An Empty Jar

Pen (something to write with – writing is better since it’s more handmade rather than typing it up)

Bunch of Paper

Ruler/Scissors

Steps as followed:

Step One: Take a bunch of paper (as much as you want) and cut them into small rectangular pieces.

Step Two: Then in the small rectangular pieces write some thoughtful messages, inspiring quotes and even jokes on them.

Step Three: After that, fold each of the small rectangular pieces into small squares (the small the better).

Step Four: Finally scramble them all up and gather them together so that you can put them all into the empty jar.

Step Five: Label the jar “Inspire Me” (this is optional)

As I mentioned earlier, this is a quick and simple tutorial on how to make you very own inspiration jar. Along with that, it comes in very handy during your off days; in addition it makes the perfect (handmade) gift for that special someone.

Hope you all try it all and have fun making your very own "Inspire Me" jar and be feel free to comment below on how yours turned out!

With lots of love,

Happy New Year 2012

Wish you all a wonderful New Year!

2011 has been an amazing year and I am excited about the year 2012.

Last year, on this same date I posted my first ever blog post and till today I have been sticking with it. And all my success on my blog is due to all you support, thank you so much. Once again, I hope to entertain you more this year with more posts and thoughts.

After a long day of planning on how to start this New Year with a special treat for my readers... I finally found the courage to create my own youtube channel focusing main on this blog. Just a little heads up, I am not promising anything at this moment on whether I will use this youtube channel or not. However, after tons of request, I officially started my own youtube channel. Plus, a New Year’s special I post my first ever video on it and like to mention that I did not make an appearance on the video, rather it’s a video to show my love to my readers of My Lyfe ; My Story and also, included a part of my New Year Resolution on it too. (So hope you like it)

Now that the year 2011 has officially ended and 2012 have officially begun, I decided to create my list on New Year’s Resolution for 2012.

Hope you enjoyed reading my New Year’s Resolution and I would love to know you Resolutions for this year, so be free to add your links on the comments below.

Hope you all have an amazing New Year!

Good Luck and Enjoy!

With lots of love,

Harija Ravi
