Mothers Will Love Birthstone Jewelry from Talisa for Mother's Day #Talisa #TalisaJewelry

Now that I'm a mother of two, I'd like to commemorate that with something sentimental.  When Scarlett was born, my husband gave me a necklace with a mother and a child on it.  It was beautiful, but now it's time to upgrade to something to include both of my kids.  These days I'm very minimalist when it comes to jewelry, but I'd like to start wearing more.  What better way to begin that goal then with a fabulous piece of birthstone jewelry?

Talisa is where jewelry, designers, and creativity connect.  You have the option of personalizing gold and silver jewelry to create fantastic birthstone pieces for yourself or a loved one.  Choose from rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and more.  Grandma would love a birthstone ring featuring her grandchildren's birthstones and names, and your sister would be thrilled to receive sterling silver earrings with her new baby's birthstone.  There's beautiful options for all budgets and the jewelry will surely be treasured.  Keep Talisa in mind for Mother's Day presents both present and future.  

When I saw the Ties of the Heart Birthstone Ring, I knew it was exactly what I was looking for.  A lasting love that ties one person's heart to another forever is a beautiful thing.  My children are extremely special and important people in my life, and I'd like to celebrate that.  This beautiful sterling silver ring comes with up to 5 cubic zirconia circle birthstones to feature your children.  If you prefer gold or rose gold, you can have the ring in those too.  There's a knot heart on the side of the ring symbolizing a mother's love.

I had Scarlett's turquoise birthstone added as well as Jack's crystal peridot.  I was hoping that the colors would compliment each other on the ring since they aren't too similar.

When the ring arrived, I couldn't wait to open the package.  To say I was thrilled was an understatement.  The ring was absolutely stunning and just perfect.  I chose to have the ring made in sterling silver although you can have gold or rose gold plated for an extra charge.  Scarlett and Jack's birthstones were shimmering and very high quality.  All of my concerns of the birthstones not complimenting each other went out the window, they looked great together! The band of the ring is very thin and modern, nothing large or chunky.  Of course the beautiful knotted heart gives the ring an extra ounce of style and pizazz which is very welcomed.  Since the ring is not overly flashy or blingy, it can be worn for virtually any occasion day or night.

The ring fits me very well and isn't tight at all.  I feel like the fit is secure and I truly love it.  I'll be wearing it daily as a constant reminder of my two beautiful children!

If you're looking for a fantastic piece of birthstone jewelry to treasure for years to come, I highly recommend Talisa.

Look Who is 8 Months Old!

Time is just flying by.  Jack is already 8 months old.  I can't believe that in just 4 short months, he'll be a year old!

4 Reasons You Need to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer

Injured at work? Been in a car accident that wasn't your fault? Or has your medical team let you down and now your life is in tatters? There are lots of reasons and scenarios that could leave you with life-changing injuries and financial uncertainty, but when those scenarios are the result of someone else's negligence, you shouldn't simply walk away. 

If you’ve been injured and it wasn’t your fault, then you may be eligible to claim compensation which could be used to help fund your medical bills, cover lost earnings and other expenses. Approaching a law firm like Pintas and Mullins can seem a little daunting. However, doing so could be what you need to get your life back on track. So, why should you hire a personal injury lawyer? Read on for 4 simple reasons. 

You may have nothing to lose

Many personal injury lawyers have a No Win, No Fee policy. So if they fail to win your case and get you the result that you want, then you won't have to pay anything. For many, this is in a clincher, especially if they're currently not earning due to their injuries. 

They can assess your claim quickly

Time is of the essence when you’re considering filing a personal injury case. So, a personal injury lawyer will be able to tell you whether or not your case is worth pursuing. If they believe you’re unlikely to win a settlement then they’ll tell you, saving you more time and stress.

They’re objective

Of course, you're feeling scared, angry and frightened about what lies ahead. These kinds of emotions – although valid – can cloud your judgement. When you speak with a personal injury lawyer, they have no ties to you or the case and they can give you an honest opinion and can answer your questions. For example, if you’re offered a pay-out and you’re tempted to take it because you’re frightened and angry, then your lawyer will encourage you to make a decision based on the facts rather than your emotions. 

They can handle your insurance company 

Having a personal injury lawyer on your side means that they can handle your insurance company for you. They won’t feel pressured into taking a low amount and won’t be bamboozled by the jargon or pressure to accept. Another load off your mind!

If you think you may have a claim, approach a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
