My Name Necklace Canada Jewelry Review

The holidays are fast approaching and who doesn't love getting a gift that is personalized and thoughtful. For all you jewelry and accessory lovers out there today’s post is dedicated to stylish, tasteful and customized jewelry.

Recently I was asked to review a beautiful necklace from MyName Necklace Canada which is an online store that specializes in making trendy personalized jewelry in sterling silver and gold.

What I like most about this company is that not only is the jewelry monogrammed but the pieces are handmade specifically for the receiver and they are quite stylish!

The website has a lot to choose from in terms of design. You can get lovely necklaces with full names written out in pretty script, letters monogrammed onto trendy gold or silver pieces and customized bracelets and rings.

Not only do they cater to any holiday season but this jewelry makes selecting a personalized gift simple. My Name Necklace offers jewelry for women of all ages, kids and they even have nice pieces for men. You can also attach a birthstone inspired crystal to some pendants.Whether you are looking to commemorate an anniversary, birthday, Valentine's, or mother's day the website has a variety of pieces that will work for every occasion and make gift giving special. 

The piece that I received was made specially for me, it is a simple yet chic silver initial pendant with a detached emerald Swarovski crystal. I love the necklace that the pendant is on, it is delicate and very pretty. I think the chain will also match well with other pendants I have in my collection or it can be worn alone which makes it quite versatile. This pendant looks appealing against the skin and most fabrics.

Emerald is always a hot color for fall and Christmas and the crystal adds a touch of color and elegance to dress up the simplicity of the pendant. The crystal also comes in Amethyst, Aquamarine and clear crystal. I think this particular piece works well for ladies of all ages and even though the chain is quite dainty is it still durable enough and pretty good quality. I can wear this necklace casually and also for more  formal occasions.

I think this piece looks very pretty in nice lighting but I did find that the pendant was prone to finger print marks. I would also have liked it if the E was engraved on both sides so that if the pendant flips over I could still see the initial; but over all this is a very wearable necklace.

The box  is very cute so you don't even have to wrap it!

The website offers a lot of different possibilities when designing your piece and you have the option of choosing from 18k gold plated, 14k yellow gold, 14k white gold and fun colorful designs with funky lettering. You can also specify a chain length for your order depending on where you want your pendant to fall.

For all those interested you can check out the website by clicking on - My Name Necklace This necklace is on sale right now for $39.94 and if you use the code DIARY you will receive 10% off your order.

August Favorites

I`m a bit late this month with my Aug favs because of my makeup giveaway that is going on, don`t forget to enter at: Giveaway!

benefit they're real mascara and benefit highlight stick

I have been using this mascara for some time now, and although I like that it helps elongate my lashes and makes them look fuller I also find it a bit harsh. The applicator combs through the lashes a bit roughly so I don't use it all the time but I do like it. I also like the benefit highlight, it gives your skin a nice shimmery effect, just don't wear too much!

Pearl of Argan hair oil

This argan oil is great to combat dryness and keeps my hair feeling smooth and soft. I found this product at Winners.

Sally Hansen Rockstar Pink

Beautiful multicolored glittery nail polish with very fine glitter fragments. 

Blinged out bracelets

I got these bracelets in Dubai in a small boutique at the airport. I thought they went well together and they are so pretty.

Nywele Moisture Repair Conditioner

This conditioner is suppose to: penetrate the hair, add shine and softness, strengthen, protect against styling and UV damage. My mom recommended this conditioner and considers it is better than the Giovanni Smooth as Silk Deep Moisture Conditioner which is quite popular. This conditioner contains olive oil and really leaves my hair nice and soft when I need to get in a quick conditioning treatment. You can find this product online, select beauty supply stores and sometimes at Winners.

Jewelry box

This large box with drawers is great for storing jewelry, it was purchased at HomeSense.

Herbal Essence totally twisted curl boosting mousse and strengthening serum with honey

I haven't used Herbal Essence since I was a kid but I needed a mousse for curly hair since I wanted a bit more hold in the summer months. This mousse is great for scrunching and also smells wonderful. It is specifically for curly hair and works well in humidity. The strengthening serum doesn't really strengthen but it does help with any dryness and makes my hair a tad softer. I would recommend using it on wet or damp hair and then not handling your hair until it dries to reduce frizz.

Olay Ribbons body wash

This body wash smells divine, with jojoba extract and wild orchid, I love how creamy and bubbly it is.

Chandelier

I LOVE this chandelier, it is  perfect for bedrooms and gives the entire room a hint of elegance. This is from Canadian Tire but I am sure you can find something similar online. The downside was that all the crystals and small parts had to be put on by hand and it was a tough assembly process with poor directions but well worth the effort.

Cruzan Rum

I purchased this Cruzan rum in St Thomas while on vacation. They come in delicious flavors like: vanilla, black cherry, banana, coconut, mango, pineapple, raspberry and aged rum. They are sweet and taste great chilled. They also taste good on their own or in cocktails and there are cocktail recipes on the back of the box. This box also makes a great gift.

Cute notebook and weekly planner

Back to school sales are not just for students. If you need office supplies, stationary or planners for the coming year this is a great time to buy. The stores have all their back to school merchandise out so I decided to buy a cute floral notebook and a weekly/monthly planner for 2014. The notebook was only $2 and the planner was $3  from Dollarama. I love the designs!

Visit Paris by Metro App

This app is wonderful if you are visiting Paris. It works on Iphone and android devices and once you download the map you do not need the internet to use it. You can map out your public transportation routes and get directions to the nearest attractions. It helped us successfully maneuver around the Paris metro system.

What were your favs in August?
