A gift that gives....

The holidays stroll around and I always feel myself wanting to give back in some way. (As I'm sure we all do!) I know we are supposed to feel like this ALL the time, but the reality is that our worlds are just so bogged down with our own personal needs all year that thinking of others seems to come secondary. I find myself being so aware of this quality right around this time, and I get this huge urge to fix my selfishness from the rest of the year. This year has been extremely good to me, in more ways than I know how to be thankful for, but I realized I should pay my thanks in anyway I can. And I found a way for you to help too, and even get some holiday treats while your at it!

So last weekend I started playing around with different colored threads, and Swarovski crystal chains for some holiday presents. What I came up with, I thought was good enough to put on my etsy site. But when I stumbled upon Altruista that I blogged about HERE, I thought "I can do that too!" And these new bracelets are perfect for it! So I've designed them to come in a series of 4 different colors, each one will donate to a different charity. With every purchase I will donate 50% of proceeds to the charity corresponding to your order, in your name. You will receive an e-mail confirmation or message in the mail from the charity itself and a special note from me in each box. I think this is a perfect way to kick off the holiday season!

Each bracelet is $40.00 (SEE THE LISTING HERE)

For a 4 pack (one of each color) You will get 10% off but I will still donate half of the original $160.00 to the specified charities.

Pink - Breast Cancer

Olive - American Lung Association

Purple - The Humane Society

Yellow - International Rescue Committee

If any of you lovely readers have a specific charity you would like to benefit please let me know, I'm thinking of continuing this for spring in new color assortments!

P.S. They look fabulous layered together!!!

Sunday Stroll....Leads to shopping!

I seriously have a weird addiction to make up pouches. I have so many its a little unnecessary. And While taking a little Sunday stroll on Franklin street in Greenpoint with my <3 (yes I said it!!!) we Stopped in this cute little boutique ("Julia James" 200 Franklin Street) on the way home from brunch. I fell in love with these make up bags By Stephanie Johnson. Photo Credit: stephaniejohnson.comThe images I pulled off the site really don't even do them justice! I purchased the medium Orange one from their website because they had just sold the last one in the boutique. Check out more of their fabulous bags here www.stephaniejohnson.com

"Justina Leigh" is born....or reborn....

No I didn't have a baby, my GOODNESS no!!!A few years ago I had a small love affair with jewelry making. I spent my spare time searching for unique stones, and thick chunky chains, and creating tough looking and at the same time feminine jewelry!!My lovely Sister (who's middle name is Leigh, you can guess who's middle name is Justina) wore her piece that I made her some 2+ years ago to work recently and, well her boss asked her to have one made for her, I've been wearing mine to work and have gotten tons of compliments as well!!...And so the love affair continues...I'll be starting up my jewelry line again! This time with fresh new takes! "Justina Leigh" is born! Visit my Etsy shop here www.justinaleigh.etsy.comOh and bracelets too!!
