bama + ry Giveaway

Some of you out there may already know Jasmine as the blogger who created Eat, Move, Write, but she is also the jewelry designer behind bama + ry.

If you visit the bama + ry shop on Etsy and read the “About” page, you will find Jasmine’s heartbreaking story. After years of infertility, Jasmine suffered a miscarriage and lost her precious twins.

In Jasmine’s words:

“In many ways, this shop was born the moment I miscarried our twins this past February. I’ve always dreamt of two things: creating for a living and becoming a mother. I’ve learned, though, that there are things you can control and things you cannot. So, with this shop, bama + ry, I’m putting my energy into something that I can control. And, for the rest, I will put my wishes out to the universe and just let.it.go.”

Jasmine creates jewelry that is personalized, rustic and made from copper and nickel silver. All of her jewelry is created by hand – the pounding of the metal, positioning of the letters and customization.

She also creates jewelry especially for those who have gone through the pain of a miscarriage, including a this necklace and this necklace.

When Jasmine reached out to me about spreading the word about her handmade jewelry, I was immediately touched by her story and had to share it with all of you. Jasmine made me a beautiful personalized initial cuff that I absolutely adore.

A Ridiculously Sweaty Experience

Teaching water fitness in the middle of the afternoon in Florida is like stepping into a sauna and then jumping around for 55 minutes. Since I teach water fitness from the pool deck so class participants can see my movements, I’m baking in the sun the entire time which means I sweat like crazy. Sweat was burning my eyes today! The best Continue Reading …
