One of the New Years traditions that I've adopted is Ali Edwards' "One Little Word" challenge.  The idea is that instead of a list of New Years Resolutions, you choose one little word to represent your goal(s) for the new year.  This year I have chosen the word: "enjoy."  With a new baby in the house, I want to focus on enjoying my life rather than pushing and hustling and trying to get stuff done.  As a simple reminder of my resolution, I decided to make a necklace featuring the word, "enjoy."

  • A very thought-provoking idea and can be used for giving away gifts for valentine’s or any other occasion to make your loved one happy. Also I can use this idea of “necklaces for women” for my business blog named Jhelica. Keep up the good work!
