not much new.

Hey! I accidentally forgot to blog for almost a week. Oops.

In addition to the normal blogger copout of “I’ve just been soooo busy,” I actually have a pretty decent excuse (for the last few days, at least). It’s called the worst bug in the history of my entire life. Ever. It was bad.

So here I am – finally feeling much better – on a Monday morning with not much to show for in a blog post. Probably the thing I’m most excited about is that I finally introduced the new REDESIGNED Speakable necklaces!

Speakable

The new necklaces are:

- 18 karat gold-plated, won’t tarnish!
- more shiny and polished look & feel
-  thinner, more lightweight bar
- sharper, clearer wording
- thinner and more durable chain
- now available in SILVER as well!

I’ve also reintroduced CHOOSE JOY and FEARLESS, due to high demand. Check ‘em all out over at Speakable.co :)

I managed to make it out a few times over the weekend, but other than that I was in bed sipping on Gatorade and watching Married To Medicine. Yeah, it was pretty glamorous.

It was also a time that SnapChat really came in handy.

(Okay, now I’m realizing that that seems funnier when you haven’t eaten in 48 hours…)

When I did finally get an appetite for something other saltines, I went for the next best carb fix – a big ol’ bagel (sandwich) from Murray’s.

Last but not least, I can’t say I hate getting acquainted with all of the Red Carpet Manicure products…

(That’s Jessi’s photo – mine are not nearly as organized right now.) It’s definitely not difficult representing such an incredible brand!

off the grid.

Every once in a while I like to take a breather from blogging. It’s definitely not easy (especially considering that fact that…well, I love it), but I can just sense when I need it.

I know blogging doesn’t seem like a huge commitment, but you’d be surprised at the hours I pour into it each day! I could really use that time to focus on other things and relax my mind a bit.

So, be back in a few days :) Have a great week!
