HOW TO SELECT CLASSIC PEARLS FOR MODERN SENSIBILITIES: Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earrings

October 6, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Pearls are one of the most versatile of the gemstone jewels, they can dress up a little black dress or be worn to a wedding, and depending on the setting and other stones, metals or jewels that a pearl is paired with, they can even be incorporated into semi-casual outfits or office appropriate workwear. Despite being a classic, go-to wardrobe piece, Pearls can, however, look a bit old-fashioned, which is why we love The Pearl Source’s unique pearls designs, which also come at a more attractive price point than many pearl pieces seen in stores. A good example of this is The Pearl Source’s Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earrings, formal and classic enough for a traditional style bride, yet stylish enough for those with demure yet modern taste in jewelry.

The Pearl Source Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earrings

JAPANESE AKOYA PEARL STARDUST EARRING DESIGN

Each earring is comprised of one classic round Akoya Pearl Classic pearl on a gold base, 925 Sterling Silver coated drop chain. The earring drop is about one inch in length. The Pearls are AA+ Quality, which is higher than that typically found in department stores and mall jewelry stores.

Akoya Pearl with two smaller stardust orbits. Gold with .925 Sterling Silver overlay makes them sturdy.

Above the pearl, there are two suspended small silver drop ball orb embellishments with a stardust pattern to add a bit of very subtle shimmer, not full-on bling, but they are eye-catching.

The thick nacre content of these pearls makes them durable despite being on a drop length dangle, they will not scratch even though they are exposed to other dangling embellishments. The chain is gold with a generous .925 Sterling Silver coating. The post is sturdy and does not readily bend.

ABOUT JAPANESE AKOYA PEARL STARDUST EARRINGS: EVALUATING PRIMARY PEARL CHARACTERISTICS

When selecting a pearl jewelry piece, there are three notable characteristics to assess. These are the Pearl Luster, the Pearl Nacre, and the Pearl Overtone.

PEARL LUSTER

Pearls produce an intense shine, also known as luster. The luster of a pearl can be determined when a light is reflected off the many layers of nacre or tiny organic crystals that comprise the surface of the pearl.

The luster rating of this Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earring Set is considered “very high”.

These pearls have a high luster that is eye-catching. Note the sturdy .925 Sterling Silver posts and reinforcements

PEARL NACRE

Nacre is what gives pearls shine and resilience. Nacre is very similar in composition and appearance to the composite material inside of a mollusk shell. The iridescent nacre can be seen for example inside a nautilus shell and to some extent abalone.

Nacre is comprised of tiny organic crystals, which serve as reflectors of light. The larger a pearl is, the more reflectors it possesses. When shopping for a pearl, the larger the pearl, the more nacre it has and the greater the luster. The degree of nacre produced luster varies greatly between pearls.

Nacre builds the iridescent layers inside a shell and on Pearls to create luster as seen here

This Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earring Set has a very thick nacre, creating a high luster.

These Pearls are of thick nacre which yields a high luster

PEARL OVERTONE

A pearl’s color is called the body color. Pearls vary from white, cream, yellow, silver, pink or black. Pearls also have a glow of a secondary color, which can be seen when light reflects off of the pearls. This hint of color is known as its’ overtone.

The Pearl Source Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earrings are a white body color that is available in four overtones. The set shown here is a White Overtone Pearl, but they also come in Rose and Ivory overtones as well as Black. These choices are ideal for matching the undertone of a bridal gown so the shade of white is not a mismatch.

The white body and white overtone of these pearls glow suit all-white bridal gowns and absolutely glow against bright colors and dark textures, making them highly versatile

WHAT IS AN AKOYA PEARL?

Akoya pearls are cultured in Akoya oysters primarily in Japan and China. They are renowned for their incredible luster and are generally considered the “classic” pearl. Akoya pearls range in size from about 6.0 – 8.5mm.

Akoya Pearls, such as these The Pearl Source Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earrings are round and symmetrical and are renowned for their high luster

GIFT BOXED

The earrings come in a distinctive blue box with a grosgrain pattern crisp overlay, and an inner hinged style box with traditional satin and velvet lining. It is highly suitable for gift giving and storage.

ABOUT THE PEARL SOURCE

The Pearl Source only uses the highest quality grade of pearls from the Pinctada fucata oyster in Japan, and only uses pearls without defects. I found these pearls to be of better quality than that I have purchased at department stores. Because their pearls are imported direct, the cost is much less than other online and brick and mortar jewelry stores. The Pearl Source Pearls for gifts and bridal jewelry or just for your personal collection is higher quality and at a better price. They also offer free shipping on all orders.

The Pearl Source Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earrings make for an excellent gift for brides, proms, special occasions

CONCLUSION

The Pearl Source Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earrings are an outstanding value for a bride, as a gift for a teen attending a formal event, or for anyone who would like a demure, ladylike piece that gives an updated look to a classic design. The pair of stardust dangle orbs brings some visual interest to the single statement pearl. The pearls themselves are of high luster, thick nacre and come in four overtones to best match one’s skin coloring or attire. The direct sourcing of the pearls makes The Pearl Source jewelry an excellent value on a highly versatile set of earrings that will last for years to come.

Sortly – The App to Organize Your Massive Makeup Collection

September 16, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Each year, Urban Decay gives away a free eyeshadow single of your choice to UD Beauty Junkie Members. Each year, I obsess over what color to choose – and for the past two years in a row, I mistakenly selected the same color (Urban Decay “Laced”) because I didn’t realize in my massive makeup collection that I already owned it and was not using this shade that just looked OK, nothing special on me. So now there is TWO of them sitting in my makeup collection unused. And worse than that, I have several dupes of that shade from other brands laying around unused as well. When faced with a dizzying array of shades of lippies, liners, shadows, and polishes at Ulta, MAC or Sephora, what do you already own the exact match or a dupe of at home in your palettes and quads?

Are you attracted to the same basic lipstick or nail polish and repeatedly buy basically the same thing? What have you tried and felt meh about? What shadows in a palette sit unused while other shades have hit pan? Which lipstick is it that you always get compliments when you wear it? What looks amazing on you? Empower your color selection with the Sortly app.

HOW SORTLY CAN HELP
Sortly is a free iOS Organizing app that makes sense of your makeup collection. It is a highly intuitive app that is easy to use and makes organization easy and fun – no more wondering if you have the exact right lipstick color, you can just check the Sortly App to find the perfect pink gloss in your makeup stash. You can also access your data via the Sortly.com website.

Here is how easy it is to organize your makeup collection with Sortly:

1) I like to organize everything into very specific categories, like Eyeshadow Palettes or Red Lipsticks. Start by adding a Folder and naming it. Add tags to help you find items easier, such as eyes, eyeshadow, smokey eye, etc. Add whatever tags will make it easier for you to find an item from your collection.

Organize your makeup collection into easy to browse folders, like Urban Decay Eyeshadow Palettes

2) Add images. You can take a picture of an item from the app or you can upload one from your library. Do you have a selfie wearing a specific shade? Add that to the pictures!

3) Add notes. Do you have any specific application techniques? Does the color match a certain outfit? Add information that will help you find the shade you are looking for.

4) Add a QR code to the item. Sortly gives you a QR code to be printed and applied to the item. So if you are looking for one specific shade within a shadow or lip palette or the lipstick you were wearing in a selfie, you can put a label on an item (or a box of items) and scan it to see if you found the right one. No more opening up every eyeshadow to find the right one!

Quickly find the item you are looking for with Sortly’s QR Code Labels

5) Add specific items. Add an individual item, and add details like the price, the best place to rebuy it, etc. Don’t forget pictures and individual QR codes!

Itemize each shade in your makeup collection with Sortly, a handy makeup organizing app

6) Add labels when packing items away. I just picked up eight of my favorite lip stain that has been discontinued (sniffle). I packed them away for safe keeping and added a label that Sortly generated for me. It let me add the info I needed to know what is in the box, it let me add a title, information and even let me pick a symbol to put on the label so it is easier to find.

You can easily add labels to boxes of makeup with the Sortly App

7) Add “throw-away” dates. I like adding the date I should throw away an individual item under “Warranty Expiring”. I used to put the date that an item should be tossed on a piece of tape on the item, but I often found that the ink wore off after a few weeks if I handled the item often (like mascara), so that wasn’t a great solution. Sortly clearly tells me when it is time to replace an item. I really enjoy this feature when I am headed to Sephora or Ulta and am looking to see what needs replacing soon, rather than just running out or realizing an item is expired. Then I can plan my shopping trips or online orders, and stock up on items so they are on hand when I need them!

I never really got into Makeup Apps for organization purposes until I tried Sortly. Sortly makes easy work of organizing a large makeup collection like mine and makes it easy to find the exact shade or look I am seeking. I love that I can access my collection via the app or my browser through the Sortly.com website and that I’m not forgetting makeup that looks great on me but that I forget that I own!

Sortly is free for everyone to use. Try a Free Trial of Sortly Plus for 14 days to get all the features for free. Find Sortly for iPhone and iPad at https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id529353551?mt=8

PORTABLE YET PRETTY AROMATHERAPY: BOUTIQUELOVIN Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser Necklace

September 2, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Want to harness the power of aromatherapy when you are away from your home oil diffuser, such as at work, at school, or while traveling? BOUTIQUELOVIN designed a necklace to do just that: it’s an essential oil diffuser necklace that allows for personal aromatherapy wherever you go.

BOUTIQUELOVIN Aromatherapy Necklace allows for personal aromatherapy on the go

WHY PORTABLE AROMATHERAPY

Aromatherapy can invigorate, calm, uplift, provide clarity and concentration, dissipate food odors, and energize us. But not all environments will allow a diffuser, including an office, school, library or fitness center. Most essential oils are too powerful to be applied directly to the skin. BOUTIQUELOVIN Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser Necklace provides personal and portable aromatherapy without the use of diffusers, electricity or water, yet they provide hours of enjoyment of using the essential oil of your choice.

ESSENTIAL OILS TO USE WITH THE AROMATHERAPY NECKLACE

I found the micro pads hold the scent for several hours. Where would it be useful to have an aromatherapy necklace? Some aromatherapy uses I found to use my necklace include the following:

ALL Natural BUG DETERRENT for outdoor events

Going to an outdoor wedding, picnic, or al fresco dinner party and don’t want to smell like bug spray? Use this necklace instead to keep mosquitos and other bugs away during an outdoor event.

Peppermint Oil deters bugs and can work as a natural, pleasant smelling bug spray
Tea Tree Oil helps deter bugs and ticks, making it particularly useful for camping, hikes, and picnics when constant bug spray is not an option.

Don’t want to wear bug spray to an outdoor event? Try Peppermint or Tea Tree Oil in a BOUTIQUELOVIN Aromatherapy Necklace

Versatile and attractive for casual picnics or for more formal outdoor events

DURING EXAMS & Stressful Work Projects

Rosemary Oil helps with nervousness, fatigue, and mental clarity, especially when under stress, like during a presentation or staff meeting. Some report that diffusing Rosemary Oil helps students concentrate while doing their homework or learning.
Peppermint Oil is invigorating and aids with mental clarity. It is beneficial when studying, or concentrating on a project or school exam.
Silver Fir is calming yet inspiring, ideal for exams with essays

Silver Fir is calming yet uplifting. Ideal for work, exams, creative projects, and exercise motivation

EXERCISE

Exercise such as Yoga, Pilates, and stretching are enhanced by the uplifting scent of Grapefruit Oil. Grapefruit is stimulating and uplifts the mood. Peppermint or Silver Fir is also invigorating during a workout.

COPING WITH CONGESTION OR ALLERGY SEASON

Eucalyptus essential oil is helpful for congestion, and is helpful in dry offices allergy season, or if you are coming down with or recovering from a cold.

Eucalyptus works to ease congestion or invigorate you during exercise. Just add a few drops to the pad for all day relief

COMBATTING FOOD ODORS

Lemon is invigorating, smells clean and is considered a universally liked scent. Did you eat something strong smelling for lunch such as fish or a spicy meal, or did you eat something in a restaurant or cafeteria with a strong lingering smell, perhaps a fast food restaurant with a grill? Peppermint Oil can overcome pungent foods smells and even second-hand cigarette smoke odors that can permeate your clothing.

The BoutiqueLovin necklace comes in an attractive and useful drawing velvet bag with the BoutiqueLovin logo. It is sturdy and attractive.

BOUTIQUELOVIN comes with a pendant locket necklace, eight pads, and a drawstring gift bag

LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelets

August 6, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Aromatherapy is a powerful way to impact the senses. Essential oils can calm or invigorate, uplift a mood or enhance mental clarity and concentration. Essentials Oils are easily enjoyed from home with the use of diffusers, but wouldn’t it be helpful to harness the power of essential oils when away from home such as at school, when traveling, exercising, or during the work day? Wish you could carry the benefits of essential oils with you wherever you go? You can with LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelets.

LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelet with genuine Gemstone and lava beads are beautiful, ethical and functional

ABOUT LOVEPRAY ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER BRACELETS

LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelets are made with genuine gemstones and lava beads to diffuse the essential oils of your choice throughout the day.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Lava beads are porous and thereby retain and slowly diffuse any added essential oils. They last throughout the day without leaking or staining clothing or other jewelry. Get personal aromatherapy wherever you go from an attractive, intricate piece of jewelry.

Close up of the beautiful lava beads, love the natural purple and green peacock iridescence in the light! The porous beads hold essential oils all day. As seen here on the Rose Quartz bracelet.

Lava beads on the Dalmatian Jasper bracelet have a beautiful onyx textured finish and compliment the gemstone variegation, and the metals both secure and set off the colors and textures

APPEARANCE

LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelets are well made and are attractive pieces, each with a unique artisan style. They come in several highly versatile colors and varieties of gemstones to mix and match with your wardrobe. Gemstone choices include colorful and vibrant Onyx, Amethyst, Jasper, Tiger’s Eye, Amazonite, Rose Quartz, Mookalite, Sunstone, Rose Crystal, Howlite, and Damalatian Jasper (black and white spotted). The bracelets are versatile pieces that go with both casual and dressier outfits.

These LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelets enable having a custom essential oil blend, or a natural, simple scent by providing the power of essential oils on the go.

ADVANTAGES OVER APPLYING A SCENT DIRECTLY TO THE SKIN

Oils applied directly to the skin can stain clothing and may cause an allergic reaction. You may also at times be in a scent-free zone, such as some work environments or doctors offices, so the ability to remove your diffusing bracelet as needed is a way to still wear a scent even if you must briefly be in a scent free environment. Lastly, the oils’ scent being diffused on the lava beads outlasts direct skin contact, diffusing just a drop or two of oil evenly throughout the day.

HOW TO INFUSE THE BRACELETS

Apply the essential oil or a blend of oils directly to the lava beads. I found the beads to hold the scent and have impressive essential oil diffusing properties for several hours. Only a drop or two is needed to last throughout the day. Once the scent dissipates, a different oil can be used the next day if desired.

Add a drop of the essential oil or oils of your choice to any lava bead for diffused essential oil benefits that last all day!

OUR EXPERIENCE WEARING LOVEPRAY ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER BRACELETS & SOME OILS WE TRIED

Some ideas we found useful for using these bracelets include:

EXERCISE: Walking, Yoga, Pilates class

Grapefruit essential oil is both stimulating and uplifting. Don’t feel like going to the gym or can’t relax enough to concentrate on your form or to get a good stretch? Exercises such as Yoga, Pilates, and stretching are enhanced by the uplifting scent of Grapefruit Oil. Grapefruit also enhances concentration. BONUS: The scent of Grapefruit makes people perceive you as younger than you actually are.

SCHOOL OR LEARNING, TAKING AN EXAM

Peppermint Oil infused on the LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelets is invigorating and aids with mental clarity. It’s beneficial when studying, or concentrating on a project or school exam. Studying at the library or learning a new skill? Try Rosemary essential oil on your bracelet. Diffusing Rosemary Oil can also be helpful, it is reputed to help students concentrate while doing their homework or learning.

Diffuse Peppermint for concentration, clarity and to repel bugs

A PRESENTATION, LOOMING DEADLINE OR OTHER NERVE-RACKING WORK EVENT

Rosemary Essential Oil is a calming oil that helps with nervousness and fatigue, yet it still improves mental clarity, especially when under stress, like during a presentation or tense staff meeting or when one is overworked and facing a looming deadline.

Use just a drop of Rosemary Essential Oil on the LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelets for stress

COPING WITH A DRY OFFICE OR ALLERGY SEASON

Does your office or classroom have forced air heating or air conditioning that makes the environment very dry? Try applying Eucalyptus essential oil to the LovePray bracelet for combatting overly dry offices, especially during allergy season, or when recovering from a cold.

Diffuse Eucalyptus on the bracelet during allergy season or in dry environments

NATURAL BUG DETERRENTS

Wedding season is here, and while outdoor receptions and ceremonies at sunset are picturesque, they are also bug-ridden. Don’t want to wear a chemical-filled, foul-smelling bug spray to a wedding, al fresco dinner party, or picnic? I found this to be a perfect time for a LovePray Essential Oil bracelet because it’s a pretty way to keep the bugs away! Tea Tree Oil deters bugs and ticks and is useful for camping, hikes, and picnics when bug spray is not an option. Peppermint Oil also deters bugs, as does lemongrass. Citronella oil is also highly effective.

My bracelet diffused with Peppermint Oil saved me from the bugs at a recent outdoor wedding!

My pretty LovePray diffuser bracelet diffused with Peppermint Oil saved me from the bugs biting me at a recent outdoor wedding! I love not smelling having to smell like bug spray at a formal event!

CURBING THE MUNCHIES AT A RESTAURANT

Going out to eat with friends, you want to be social but not completely ruin your diet? Try Peppermint Oil, Grapefruit or Lavender on your LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser bracelet to curb excessive over-eating. TIP: Discretely directly inhale the scent of the infused beads immediately before reading the menu and ordering for an extra boost of essential oil inspired self-control.

Lavender Essential Oil helps curb the munchies

BUILD A SIGNATURE SCENT
