Fall 2018 Jewelry Trends, Holiday Season Trends, Jewelry Glam, Fabulous Creations Jewelry, handmade jewelry designs
I've been checking out the upcoming trends for the Fall and Winter season
and it seems things are getting bolder. bigger with more glam.
Longer more eye catching earrings and chunkier necklaces and bracelets are what's on trend.
 
While some dainty bracelets were seen on the runway, thicker cuffs, bold designs
and stacks of unique bohemian style were the top favorites.
 
Layering necklaces are another popular choice and the chance to get creative
and achieve a look of your own. Combining metals, shapes and textures accessorize your look effortlessly.
 
Accessorize with jewelry that infuses your wardrobe with a dash originality 
and spark of personality.

Transition into Fall on a Budget August 4, 2018 15:04

Here we are at the beginning of August and clearance sales are popping up everywhere. (Hey, we here at Fabulous Creations are having one too....be sure to check out our clearance section where prices are marked down up to 50% Off: CLEARANCE SECTION
 
Your inbox is probably filled with promotions, tv commercials advertising sales and circulars in your mailbox. You might think you have enough Summer clothes and with it being half over, you're right. But this is a great time to shop for Fall transition pieces. When you are shopping on a website, select three quarter sleeves which is the perfect length for Fall (or cool Summer nights). And if it happens to be a really chilly night a light jacket is easy to just throw on.
 
I've linked some of my favorites here that can take you through a couple seasons.
And each piece is under $30.00. These pieces can take you easily from work to an evening dinner or night out with the girls.

chocolate chip cookie dessert

 

Author: Jessica - Together as Family
Ingredients
  • 1 tube (16.5 oz) refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
  • 1 bar (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cartons (8 oz) Cool Whip, divided
  • 3 cups half and half milk
  • 1 small box chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 1 small box vanilla instant pudding mix
  • miniature chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
  1. Let the tube of cookie dough stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften so it's easier to press into pan. 

  2. Heat oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray. 

  3. Press chocolate chip cookie dough into the bottom of the baking dish. It's easier if you cut the tube of cookie dough into 12 slices and then lay the slices in the pan, and then press them together to form the 1st layer. 

  4. Cook for 15-17 minutes and let cool completely. 

  5. In a mixing bowl beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until blended. Add in 1 tub of Cool Whip and mix together until blended. Spread onto the cooked and cooled cookie layer.

  6. In a mixing bowl, add both pudding mixes and the half and half milk. Whisk together for several minutes until combined and starts to thicken. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it's very thick. Spread over the cream cheese layer. 

  7. Spread the other tub of Cool Whip on top for the 4th layer. You don't have to use the entire tub. Use however much you want. Cover with saran wrap and let refrigerate for at least 8 hours but preferably overnight. 

  8. Before serving sprinkle the top with miniature chocolate chips. Cut into squares and serve.

The Meaning Behind The Infinity April 11, 2018 11:09

infinity lariat, lotus flower lariat, handmade infinity necklace, infinity jewelry, gift for best friend

 

The Infinity symbol is a simple shape yet much more complex and meaningful than most people know. The figure eight symbol is known in mathematics as "lemniscate" and refers to an infinitely large number, but not any specific number, just an infinitely large quantity. This mysterious symbol was discovered way back in 1655, yet dates back much older as a religious symbol.

It signifies many meanings such as balance between opposites like day and night and men and women. Because the loops are balanced on each side, it represents equality between these opposing forces or beings. Bringing the two together and becoming one such as the unity of a marriage and bond of love.

The infinity symbol also represents a completion and wholeness and the infinite bonds of our daily life such as friendships and family.

Such a powerful and meaningful little symbol to wear each day as a reminder of equality, unity and infinite love.
