Yala Free Soul Collection: Jewelry for the Greater Good

Jewelry: A Gift for the Greater Good– Yala Free Soul Collection AND DISCOUNT CODE

By: Ashley

A couple months ago, I wrote about Yala, a company that keeps social good at the top of their list. I was so excited about this company, I have recommended them to my friends and family. In fact, Yala is going to play a big part in my sister’s special day!

Next month, my sister is going to be getting married. As her older (and wiser ;)) sister, I am the Maid of Honor. If you want to be all technical about it, I’m actually the “Matron” of honor… but that just sounds OLD. Nevertheless, I’ve been hard at work helping my sister plan out all the details of her special day. When she came to me asking about jewelry and gifts for her bridesmaids, I knew EXACTLY what to tell her. The Yala Free Soul Collection makes the perfect stop for gift shopping.

My sister knew that she wanted something special and meaningful for her nearest and dearest friends. She also knew that she wanted jewelry – affordable, stunning, jewelry. Most of all, she wanted something that had a purpose. Not just a shiny object… but something that was for the greater good. Yala jewelry is made by women around the world. Through a partnership with Nest, women in developing countries are able to make big changes in their lives. These pieces of jewelry help provide an income and a sense of stability to women, their families, and their communities. THAT is a gift that carries some meaning!

Who would like a gift from Yala’s Free Soul Collection? ANYONE! This is the season for graduations and weddings – both the perfect opportunity for a meaningful gift. They’re also the perfect opportunity for adding a little something special to your own look. I know that my jewelry collection has definitely improved since I was first introduced to Yala.

To get your collection started, you can use this discount code set up especially for MomStart readers. Your coupon code is SOUL20 for 20% off and it’s good from April 9^th – April 23^rd. That’s plenty of time to stock up on some great jewelry or even some AMAZINGLY soft clothing from their Bamboo Dreams collection.

Rainy Day Craft, How To Make Necklaces & Bracelets From Drinking Straws

October 21, 2011 by Momstart 27 Comments

It’s raining outside and the kids are grounded. I’m not sure how much of a punishment it is for the kids. It almost feels like more of a punishment to me. We can’t play with friends and Miles has lost half of his toys. So I find myself having to entertain them more than I usually do.

We decided to make a craft or two day. The first one we made was straw necklaces. It’s real simple and you probably already have everything you need.

How to Make Straw Jewelry

Supplies:

String (we used Christmas Wrapping Ribbon)
Colored Straws
Scissors

Directions:

Cut the straws (Zoe did all of this herself, and Miles did a few)

Cut the ribbon and tie a not on the end

Put the cut up straws on the string

Then you have one very happy girl

Unique Things Remembered Birthday Ideas

September 25, 2011 by Momstart 156 Comments

Things Remembered is featuring some really cute items as unique birthday presents. I found many of them so cute it was hard to pick one to focus on for a review. Since something we’re working on at home is saving money, and my son doesn’t have a cute piggy bank, I finally ended up choosing the Silver-Plated train bank and had them engrave I think I can on it. It’s ADORABLE.

Silver-Plated Train Bank – It’s never too early to teach children the value of saving. This adorable train design makes it fun, featuring intricate train detailing to look like the real thing. For easy removal of money from the bank, there is a plastic cover on the bottom. Be sure to engrave a name and date for a treasured keepsake.

He’s going to be saving lots of quarters in this little train.

Other Unique ideas from Things Remembered.

Retractable Ear Buds – Teens can’t live without their music. When they’re rocking out with their mp3 player or iPod, pristine sound is good – tangled cords not so much. Just give the cord a little pull, and both sides retract into the housing. No tangles! The rubber buds fit comfortably in the ear, and the gunmetal look is as cool as the music on your favorite fan’s playlist. Engrave it with a special message and your gift is guaranteed to be a big hit.

Kids’ Silly Sac Bags – This charming bag is a practical but fun gift for kids. Great for school, sleepovers or day trips, these “silly” bags can be embroidered with his or her name on the belly to make it even cuter. Choose from the Monkey or the Turtle bag, each equipped with a side zipper, adjustable straps and a mesh body. They’re as precious as all the little things kids will stuff it with. Available online only.

Birthstone Key Necklace – A great gift for moms, this necklace also lets her celebrate her loved ones’ birthdays, too. Each polished sterling silver heart key can be customized with the birthstone and engraved with the initials of her soul mate, her children or anyone else she wants to keep close. Available in multiple key/birthstone configurations. Choose up to 3 keys/birthstones for review.

Friends Shadowbox Water Globe – How do you tell a friend how much she means to you? This handcrafted water globe commemorates the special times you’ve shared in a unique way. A tiny friends "shadowbox" inside the globe contains the sentiment, "By my side no matter what I do. I’m so lucky to have a friend like you". The globe rests upon a silver-plated base that can be engraved with your best friend’s name or a special message of your own. Plus, it’s musical, playing Bach’s Minuet No.1.

Sports Tankards – If he’s a sports fanatic, these drink tankards are sure to raise a toast from your #1 fan. Choose from NFL Tankards or NCAA Mugs, emblazoned with the colors and logo of his favorite team. These robust mugs safely hold his favorite beverage, plus they can be engraved on the back. Add your favorite fan’s name and you’ve got a gift that they’ll show off all year long.

This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to the winner, ShellieAndBrutus.

All rules can be found under giveaway rules. We received samples.

The Loft Outlet Clothing & Jewelry Shopping Haul

September 7, 2011 by Momstart 19 Comments

Of course I should be working on reviews and giveaways and the list goes on and on. But I had to put everything off for quite a few reasons, today was the first day of school for my kids and I wanted to spend time with them. We had family visit and that kept me very very busy. Then the final reason, the reason that really killed my work, was the flash on my camera was broken. AHHHHH. Ok, I have a new flash it arrived last night thanks to Amazon’s quick free delivery. I love being an Amazon Prime member. Anyways, enough rambling, back to the post at hand…..

I went shopping at the Loft Outlet last week. I was supposed to be doing some back to school shopping but I didn’t find anything for the kids then. Instead, I found lost of jewelry for me and one cute little cotton dress to wear on my upcoming trips. Here are some photos of the jewelry.

I’m going to LA with Disney and DreamWorks to meet the Muppets and Hugh Jackman for Real Steel. Can I say that again, I’m going to meet Hugh Jackman. Squee! So, I wanted to get a new dress and I had a gift card from the LOFT. I adore the Loft but most of the time I find their clothes are way too expensive because I’m quite frugal. I was shocked at how low the prices were in the Loft outlet. It’s good that I set a limit on myself before I went into the store because I almost went way overboard picking up dresses left and right. I purchased two necklaces and a pair of earings and a dress for 28.00. Here is a video of my Loft Outlet Shopping Haul.

I received the gift card from The Loft quite a while ago as part of a campaign and I never had a chance to spend it until now. LOVE IT!

What makes a Girls Bracelet Special

December 11, 2009 by Momstart 3 Comments

I have never really liked wearing jewelry. I can’t even fit into my wedding ring right now. I haven’t been able to wear it since I was pregnant with my daughter who is now almost three years old. Now, the only thing that I wear is my necklace but I do have a special place for one bracelet.

For a Girls Bracelet to be special it either needs to come from someone special or have special meaning. One of my most cherished items that I have is a charm bracelet that my grandmother gave to me. She gave all of her granddaughters one. I kept it treasured and I still do.

Every time she went on a trip. She would collect us another charm. So I have charms from all over the world. When my grandmother was in better health she loved to travel.

She has been to Egypt, England, and other places in Europe. So I love looking at it and thinking about all those places. Before I had children I wanted to be a world class traveler just like her. For now, I’m just happy being a mother. You might consider starting a charm bracelet for the little girl in your life. It’s quite fun to have charms for different activities in your life or in my case someone else’s

Joolwe Review

April 13, 2009 by MomStart 1 Comment

I received these from Joolwe.com and I do find them to be very pretty. The first thing I did was put them in my ears. That is always the test for me and well, they made my ears itch in minutes. My husband kept asking me if my ears were ok and I said yes, but I finally gave up and took them out. I guess my ears can only handle gold. I thought sterling silver was ok, but my ears must be getting more sensitive as time goes on. I think my whole body is.

That being said, I do like the CZ Silver Pendant that they sent me. The chain is is great and the Cubic Zirconium looks amazing. CZ is a great way to save money and still look great. Buying jewelry from Joolwe will save you money because their prices are pretty comparable or under comparable.

You can check out the silver jewelry store and their jewelry blog to see all of their choices and special promotions.
