Ascending Butterfly Valentine's Day Love Month Giveaways sponsored by:


There is only one bad thing about being totally single on 'V-Day'. The lack of romantic, sweet surprises! Me and my friends like to get together and have a 'Mud Masks and Margaritas' day. Home Spa Treatments, cocktails and friends are a fun combo!

But this year when a red box arrived at my doorstep and I opened it to reveal something super cute, super girly and sparkly I'll admit to feeling a little giddy! (I was going to say 'swoony' but I'm not sure that's a 'real' word!)

Diamond Accent Butterfly Hearts Necklace

The two interlocking hearts symbolize everlasting love and devotion. Each heart is studded with diamonds along the opposite edge.

Necklace Specs:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - sterling-silver hearts with sterling-silver rope chain
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - chain adjusts from 16"-18" long
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - spring ring clasp
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - pendant measures 1" x 7/8" high
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - total diamond weight of .03 carats

My Take:

I love the symbolism behind the two interlocking hearts! RedEnvelope has set themselves apart by offering a great variety of gifts, in elegant signature packaging, but this one is a bit more meaningful to me personally. Being born in April, Diamonds are my birthstone. Butterflies hold very special significance in my life and the interlocking hearts that form this butterfly I have taken to represent my grandmother and my great-grandmother who have passed being carried with me.

There is something just extra special about this necklace, and it's not just a perfect Valentine's Day gift, it's a special gift for any occasion, and I'd recommend it especially if you have any special Aries ladies in your life. It would also make a fabulous Sweet 16 or Quinceanera Gift for a special young lady.

The only thing I would advise is to change the chain if this is for an adult, the chain it comes with is a bit better suited as a gift for a young lady.

Ascending Butterfly Holidays Buying Guide 2010, Sixth Giveaway sponsored by:


What are your christmas family traditions? One of mine is putting up my tree during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. This year of course, all my traditions were moved up, WAY up. I put up my tree earlier than usual this year because I needed time to field test it and write my review! New tree, new ornaments and now a new way to count down to Christmas with the little ones!

One of the most common traditions to prepare for Santa's arrival is with Milk and Cookies! Christmas Eve is usually a flurry of activity, and getting little ones to wind down and go to bed can sometimes be a challenge. Engaging the little ones with fun activities to prepare for Santa's arrival creates a tradition and memories that they will carry over with them when they get older and have families of their own.

One of my favorite signature gifts when there is a newborn in the family is the mobile for above the crib. I just found a new signature gift that I will be giving for baby's first christmas, it's Red Envelope's NEW Night Before Christmas Activity Kit. Red Envelope has been a go to for me for years for corporate gifts, I have both given and received many memorable gifts from Red Envelope! I have come to look to Red Envelope first for innovative, unique and well packaged gifts. This Kit is everything I've already come to expect from Red Envelope, it's uniquely presented, well packaged and just plain fun for kids of all ages as well as kids at heart.

I tried my best to wait until 12/24 but on my next shopping trip I am already going to have to replace the cookies and the cocoa so Santa won't notice! But Ssshh, don't tell anyone!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - WIN IT! - Ascending Butterfly and our friends at Red Envelope would like to provide 1 Ascending Butterfly Follower with a Night Before Christmas Activity Kit!


Night Before Christmas Activity Kit @RedEnvelope

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - ceramic plate for cookies for Santa – 8 ½” diameter

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - ceramic mug for cocoa - 11.5 ounces; approximately 4 ½” high x 5 1/4” wide with handle

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - 6 Mrs. Field’s chocolate chip nibbler cookies

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - 2 packets Mrs. Field’s cocoa mix (makes 2 mugs)

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - poem of “The Night Before Christmas” by Clement Clarke Moore

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - “Reindeer Games” activity book that includes games and challenges with a holiday theme such as “Snowflake Match Game”, “Santa’s Secret”, and “Festive Football”
