First, I am really, really thankful for all of the comments, tweets, and Facebook messages about my post about finding life. Sometimes there are things that I struggle with really voicing, and I am really glad that it has resonated in a way that 1) confirms I'm not crazy; 2) makes me realize I'm not alone. How many times have you felt like you were all alone in a struggle, only to find out others have either been there as well, are battling something harder than you, or are there to empathize? It's an amazing comfort and it's the reason I blog.
Second: This has nothing to do with my first point. Shiny things.

This is one of the most blatant asks I've ever done, and I'm blaming it on the sparkle. You see, I am easily distracted by shiny things. This phenomenon seems to have only started in the past year or so, and started with glittered ballet flats and is now working its way to glitter nail polish.
At Blissdom, the folks at Ritani (best known as making incredibly beautiful engagement rings) had a suite. They have these thin bands that you can combine to make your own look, called a Ritani Stack. There were lots of rings to choose from, and I designed one that is alternate bands of sapphires and diamonds. Diamonds are my birthstone (April) and sapphires are my second favorite stone because my favorite color is blue.

So here's the “ask” – shameless, really. If you are on Pinterest, can you go “like” my ring creation? If I get the most “likes,” I not only win the stack, but 1 stack to give away to one of you! Talk about one incredible sparkly giveaway!!! EDITED TO ADD: Can you also go “like” the actual Pinboard this is on? It's here, and you can just click “Like” at the top of the board.
Here's some more detail of the styles in my Ritani Stack, as well as another photo I snagged with even more sparklies!
What colors would you put in your stack?
FTC Disclosure: I was not compensated in any way for this post. If I get the most “likes” on my Pinterest photo, I win a Ritani Stack plus one to give away here on my blog.
