I LOVE jewelry, I could bath in it I love it so much. A girl can’t have too much of it, but can definitely have too little! I’m so happy to be a part of the next Ice jewelry guest stylist search!

Ice.com is one of my favorite places to purchase jewelry, it has been for over 9 years, in fact, my hubby bought my engagement ring on ice.com.

As an Ice jewelry guest stylist I have the opportunity to put together a collection of my favorite jewelry from ice and have it showcased on their website. It’s so hard to pick only a few pieces, but browsing around the website, trying to match my own style I think I settled on two.

Being a busy mom, I’ll be honest, I don’t dress up a ton, but I still love wearing jewelry, so finding something that will look nice even on my most casual days is important. I LOVE the black and white look, so my two favorite pieces are:

The White and Black Cubic Zirconia Sterling Silver Ring w/Black Rhodium.

This ring is gorgeous! And affordable, don’t forget Ice allows you to even make payments on your purchases as well. This flirty swirl of sparkle from our Gallery 10 collection adds a ton of shine to any outfit. Glittery round cut white and black cubic zirconias are inset in polished sterling silver with black rhodium.

I also love the Stainless Steel Animal Print Cuff Bracelet by Tattooed Steel.

Pair this edgy extra with hot after dark outfits for a wild hint of glamour. A sleek animal print design is tattooed in black on a stainless steel cuff from our Tattooed Steel Collection.

Can you find your favorite pieces on Ice? How would it match your style? What do you think of my own personal favorite? Here’s what I need YOU to do… Vote for my post with my personal two favorite items, simply leave a comment or “Like” this post and I could be the next Ice Guest Stylist!

I wouldn’t ask my readers to vote for me without something in return though, so, if you’re in the market for some jewelry for yourself, or maybe even a gift, use this link – http://www.ice.com/?sourcecode=FBBOC or the code FBBOC at checkout and you’ll receive 20% off!!

As a mom, health care is something I take pretty close to heart. I want to make sure my entire family is always healthy, and its an everyday worry.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) have launched a new initiative with the Ad Council to encourage effective two-way communication with clinicians and patients to ensure safer care and better health outcomes.

There are some great new videos, tips and tools available at ahrq.gov that will show you, just how important open communication between clinicians and patients are. You can also listen to Laurri Diener who’s also a mother, talk about how better communication with her doctor helped her get the right diagnosis and treatment for her issues.

Taking initiative to communicate will provide you with less worry and help you keep your health in check! You can also read the newly published Wall Street Journal article covering this news here.

Be sure to also check out the full series of new public service videos featuring real clinicians and patients which can be found on the AHRQHealthTV YouTube page.

Take care of your health!

Oral care is an issue in our house. Especially with my oldest daughter. I personally hate dentists, my teeth are horrible I know, at no fault of my own, but I vowed not to let my own kids have the same fear as myself, so I’ve always made sure to teach them great oral care habits. But, my 8 year old just doesn’t want to listen to me, or my husband.

At the age of 8, she’s just had to get 2 cavities filled, and she has another forming. We make her brush twice a day, sometimes three (if I remember to pack her toothbrush into her lunch for school). I admit, we haven’t been strict about flossing, but she’s learning now and realizing how important it is.

It was great timing when I was asked to participate in the Listerine Oral Challenge, I thought this would be perfect for my oldest daughter, and the rest of the family. For the next 3 weeks, we’re all to use Listerine products. Brush, Floss and Rinse with all of their products for the next three weeks and see how it helps our oral care as a family.

As you can see, my youngest daughter has great teeth….

My oldest, not so much, plus she needs some orthodontist work done as well, ugh…

The girls are excited to start the challenge, with their new toothbrushes, floss, and rinse just for them, and then for myself and hubby we have the same.

Hopefully this challenge will improve some of our habits. We’ve also now got a chart for the girls thanks to Listerine, so they can check everyday to make sure that they brush, floss and rinse. It will be interesting to see if habits change in three weeks, and if they’ve made an improvement as well.

Cyber Monday was a hit this year, in fact sales were up 20% since last year! But, when you’re thinking of the holidays, holiday shoppers aren’t the only people taking advantage of those sales online. A lot of brides are planning, shopping and registering online these days, and this time of year is one of the busier times for weddings.

Technology is playing a major hand in planning a wedding these days. Brides (and Grooms) are creating wedding websites where they can share their story, details about the wedding and photos. You can a lot of times also view videos, RSVP for the wedding directly on the site, and even find their online registry. Brides can sync their documents such as guest lists, schedules and addresses right on her smart phone!

What a lot of brides are also doing is finding the latest styles and ideas online as well, and when finding those ideas, they’re also finding vendors via blogs, social media and other websites. They’re finding photographers via word of mouth from places like Facebook, or getting recommendations for beautiful yet cheap wedding invitations on blogs. You’d be surprised where a lot of referrals for wedding business is coming from.

A lot of couples are also doing online registries. It’s much more convenient for not only the couples who are strapped for time, but for their guests as well. Plus if you have out of town people coming, they no longer need to carry their gift with them to the wedding, they can simply ship the items directly to you.

Although the tradition still reigns supreme, it’s time to think outside the box when it comes to planning your wedding, with technology, there’s many ways to ease the stress of planning a wedding these days.
