This post was sponsored by JTV. I was paid for this post and received JTV jewelry pieces as compensation

I’m so excited to share this post as it combines two of my very favorite things in the world: Coffee and Jewelry! It’s no secret that I love sparkly things and rings are my favorite.

Rose Gold Rings for Spring

I found the perfect spring pieces on JTV. I love the variety and how easy it was to shop the site. Also had to let you know if you use the code JTVFREE you will get free shipping on all your orders.

A few things that I’ve really been loving are rose gold for my jewelry as well as stackable rings. I think both add a fun modern twist to classic jewelry pieces. The best part is, that rose gold looks great even mixed with gold or silver pieces so you can always be mixing and matching.

A few of my favorite pieces are the pink and white diamond simulant rose gold rings, I just love all those colors together. As well as the multicolor gemstone ring.

Stackable rings

The three piece stackable set that I’m wearing below is so pretty and a great replacement for my wedding set. I don’t always travel with my wedding set as I worry about losing it or it getting stolen. Pieces like these are a great way to still wear your rings without that stress or worry.

Doesn’t this latte look so good? I was so excited to drink it! 🙂

Stackable rings are especially fun to play with as you don’t always have to wear all the pieces or you can stack with other rings you own. This stackable set is so pretty, the colors are so vibrant! Just a tip: when wearing stackable rings, you will want to go up one size so that you can wear all 3 rings comfortably.

How to style your rings

I also like to play with my rings and wear them on different fingers and places on my fingers. I love the midi ring trend and think it just adds a fun element to wear rings above the knuckle.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match your stackable pieces or with your wedding set or other classic pieces that you own. I love the look of a few rings on one finger.

When you have a few rings on, leave off the bracelets so you don’t have too many things distracting from the rings.

I also styled the Emerald Cut and Square Cor-de-rosa Morganite and the Pink and White Diamond Simulants Eterno™ Rose Ring.

These are some of my favorite drugstore beauty products. It’s always great to stock up on your faves during the sale! It’s essential to me to have backups of my favorite items and try to always get them when they’re on sale.

Bartell’s will also be having free skincare and makeup demos so you’ll be able to test out the products before you buy it. This Friday I will be at the Bellevue location hosting a facebook live so if you are in the area I would love to meet you but if you can’t make it, check out Bartell’s Facebook page or follow them on instagram as I’ll be on instagram stories as well!

Life Time Athletic Grand Opening in Bellevue!

Post author By Jen
Post date April 14, 2018

Life Time Athletic is the brand new luxury health club + gym located in the heart of downtown Bellevue, WA right inside The Shops at the Bravern. Consistent with the vision of The Shops at the Bravern and fitting in with the posh downtown Bellevue scene, Life Time Athletic lives up to the standard of having the best customer service paired with ultimate luxury for fitness enthusiasts featuring endless inspiration and options!

I had the opportunity to check out the club before it officially opened to the public and had so much fun! I wanted to share it with all of you before you go and check it out for yourself!

First, the space is BEAUTIFUL. From the front entry lined with cushy chairs to the fresh flower decor throughout club, the space is meticulous and clean. It really is a for everyone as they have a variety of studios including yoga, pilates, fitness, indoor cycling and barre studios. The cardio and weights floor is expansive along with the gym and you’ll have chance to wind down and relax in the steam room or sauna. Once you’re done with your workout or if fitness is not your thing, they also have the Life Spa where you can indulge in skin and massage services as well as the Life Cafe where you can enjoy chef-crafted meals, takeout options, smoothies (the Almond Butter smoothie is DELISH!) and protein-packed snacks. As they say, if it’s there, it’s healthy! Always a good thing! 😉

Next, my husband and I got to try out one of the fitness classes. Always interested in Spartan races but never having had a chance to participate, we decided to go with the Spartan Strong workout. This was a SERIOUS workout! If you haven’t done Spartan races before, this is a great way to get a sneak peek of what they entail. The thing I loved about it is that there was a lot of partner and/or teamwork. These little weighted “pancakes” were the star of the show and worked us in so many ways! The whole group gets going and everyone is working together. It was awesome sweatin’ it out with everyone as there was a feeling of camaraderie when we were all done!

Finally, after our sweat sesh, we walked around the club, sipped on beer + wine and had some lite bites from the Life Cafe. Everything was delicious and was nice to know that all the options are healthy, especially when you’re trying to stick with a nutrition plan. If you don’t have time to sit down after a workout, they have a case of healthy grab-n-go options as well as a variety of snack bars.

All in all, Life Time Athletics is an EXCELLENT place that has thought of all the details for someone who is looking looking for the ultimate luxury health club experience. For more information on membership, check out their website here!

Getting ready for spring: Fashion & Beauty Essentials

Post author By tiffany
Post date April 11, 2018

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com

It’s always fun to transition into spring after such a long, cold winter. When the sun is out, the days are longer and the flowers are blooming, you can help but want to spend all your time outside! I also love to make sure that my wardrobe and beauty essentials are updated for spring to accomodate for the weather and season change. I’ve partnered with BabbleBoxx to share some really great products that will easily help you transition from winter to spring!

Zenni Eyeglasses & Sunglasses

I’ve been wanting to try out these Beyond UV blue blocker lenses. They are so great if you are like me and are on your computer or digital devices all day long. These really help with eye strain and protecting your eyes from the blue light that come from both natural and artificial sources. I also just really love the style! They have a ton of great options to choose from and how cute are these sunglasses? I’m definitely packing them for my trip!

Bali One Smooth U® Multiway Bra

If there is one thing that every woman needs in her closet, it’s a great bra that can be worn multiple ways. Especially in the summer where I’ve got cold shoulder tops, off the shoulder tops, one shoulder tops, I can’t be bothered with a million different bras just for each top. This bra can be worn 8 ways! It’s also very comfortable and stays up in all the different ways you can wear it.

Badgley Mischka

Sparkly shoes? Yes please! Badgley Mischka is my favorite brand for glamorous shoes. They are perfect for special occasions but you can also wear them for every day wear! I got these gorgeous sandals to bring with me on vacation but I know I’ll be wearing them all summer too. I adore all the jewels, it truly is like jewelry for your feet!

Colleen Rothschild Beauty: Radiant Cleansing Balm & Reitnol Supreme Night Oil

This is my first time trying out Colleen Rothschild products and I am now a huge fan! If you’ve never used a cleansing balm before, you are missing out! I think it’s the best way to get all your makeup off. I love this one because it truly does remove all my makeup but also my skin feels so clean and smooth after I use it. I also love that you can treat yourself to a facial if you apply a thick layer of the balm on your face and then place a warm muslin cloth over the top for 10 minutes. It truly feels amazing!

The Retinol Supreme Night Oil is a great anti-aging treatment. You only need to apply a few drops at nice all over the face and neck and you’ll wake up to glowing skin!

Erin’s Faces: Magic Dust

I love a good highlighter especially for these warmer months. This is a soft gold shimmer mineral powder and it is so pretty on. I put a little bit on my cheekbones and use it over my eyeshadow to make it sparkle even more. Their entire line is cruelty free and vegan!

My Cheesecake Factory Tour

Post author By tiffany
Post date April 9, 2018

This post is sponsored by The Cheesecake Factory.

Last week I had a chance to get a private tour of The Cheesecake Factory to see how they prepped and cooked all their delicious dishes! I’m excited to share some of these photos and information with you as it’s something that you rarely get to see the behind the scenes of what really goes on in a restaurant!

I have a soft spot for Cheesecake Factory as my mom, who typically only loves Chinese food, LOVES the Cheesecake Factory. It is seriously one of her favorite restaurants and I of course had to bring her along for this fun meal!

CHEESECAKE FACTORY KITCHEN TOUR

I love that they have over 250 menu items as I never get the same thing and love to try a different dish each time. Right now they have a few new menu items that I got to see how they make and try them out and of course, I loved them!

The amazing thing is that even with that many menu items, every single item, even down to each sauce is freshly made each day! Nothing is frozen and heated up, and I got to see that for myself when I toured the kitchen to see how everything was made.

My absolute favorite thing on the menu is the avocado eggrolls. Look how yummy this looks! They handroll the eggrolls everyday. I even helped make an eggroll! I was very proud of myself!

If you haven’t had the mashed potatoes before, well you are missing out. SO good! I got to try them freshly out of the mixer and they were beyond amazing. These are made fresh all throughout the day so when you order your meal, you’ll always have the best mashed potatoes!

I also got to help make a pancake, and this wasn’t just your regular pancake. This is their new Cinnamon Roll Pancakes and oh my goodness, they are so good that I’m craving them right this minute. They only serve them on the weekends so you have to make sure to get them and just share with the table. They were so fluffy and perfectly cinnamon-y.

It was really interesting to get the full kitchen tour just to see how they prepped and cooked everything. Honestly, I was amazed by how every single ingredient was fresh and freshly prepared that morning even down to the sauces and dips that go along with each dish! They make more than 160 sauces and dressing from scratch!

CHEESECAKE FACTORY NEW MENU ITEMS

Of course, I was very excited to sit down and eat. And eat we did! I was there with my husband, mom and dad and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

The pork belly sliders are a new fave! The fried pickles with the pork belly was such a good combination. My husband and I will definitely be coming back just for these.

Obviously I had to get the avocado eggrolls but wanted to try out the eggroll sampler which included four different kinds of eggrolls. You get the avocado, Tex Mex, Cheeseburger and Firecracker Salmon eggrolls.

The Spicy Shanghai Noodles were so flavorful! I love spicy food so it wasn’t too spicy for me and I really liked the sesame ginger sauce.

Thank you so much to The Cheesecake Factory for the fun experience! I now know why all the food is so good, you could really tell all the care the chefs and everyone in the kitchen puts in to prepare all the dishes. Seeing how busy they are and how many people they serve, it was pretty amazing to see how it all comes together!

Shop with me: Sandals for Spring

Post author By tiffany
Post date April 5, 2018

If you’ve been reading my past few posts, you can tell I’m quite excited for my upcoming vacation. I’ve been shopping for items to bring with me and went on a sandals hunt! I found so many cute styles and I’m rounding up my top sandals picks for spring.

SWIMSUIT || HAT || TOP || SHOES || JEANS

MULES AND SLIDES

When you’re on vacation, you just want some cute shoes that are easy to slip on and off and I’m not much of a flip flops person so I’m loving mules and slides.

SILVER MULES \\ BOW MULES \\ BOW SLIDES

ESPADRILLE WEDGES

I’m already a huge fan of these wedges as well as so many other bloggers who got them last year. I’m loving the updated versions for this year and really want the pink ones.

YELLOW/PINK WEDGES || NEUTRAL WEDGES

HIGH HEEL SANDALS

My husband and I never have a vacation where we don’t do at least one nice dinner. Along with all my flats and comfy shoes I also bring some cute heels so I can dress up! The pom poms are adorable and perfect for the summer!

POM POM SANDALS

Block heels have become my best friends lately. As a mom and just getting older in general, my feet are not as happy in thin stiletto heels as they were before. I’ve found with block heels I can wear them comfortably all day. I love the braided straps and think these will be so cute with jeans and dresses.

BLOCK HEEL SANDAL

FLATS & SLIDES

The sparkles got me on these shoes. I’m all about shiny things. LOL! But they really are so comfortable and I will be wearing them all summer long.

ESPADRILLE SLIDES

I went for the espadrilles as I am loving espadrilles lately but the flats are super cute too.

ESPADRILLE || FLAT SANDALS

OK, what do you guys think about Birkenstock’s? I never really thought they were my style but they’ve kind of grown on me. I’m loving all the new colors they are coming out with, especially these metallics.

METALLIC BIRKENSTOCK

I did not know UGG made shoes other than their boots! I guess I just never paid attention but I spotted these sneaker mules and I had to have them! How cute right?

BOW SNEAKER

CUTE NEW PIECES AT NORDSTROM

Just a few clothing pieces I had to share including this dress. I adore the pattern and the fit. Ignore the boots, the day I went shopping it was so cold and rainy! I plan on wearing this with cute sandals. I find that wrap dresses are pretty flattering on everyone and this one is actually a faux wrap (it’s all stitched together) so it keeps it’s shape.

FAUX WRAP DRESS

I love tops like these. So simple but a fun added detail like the ruffle hem. The back also has a cute bow!

RUFFLE HEM TOP
