So between my meltdown and Sarah not being able to compete in July, we're both a little down (but not out). And since we're in this together, I thought we should have some sort of tangible inspiration. I've seen several Instagram accounts advertising exercise/lifting jewelry and I almost bought some a few weeks ago, but didn't. I thought now would be a perfect time to get something for both Sarah and I.
I went on Etsy and searched for exercise jewelry. There are tons of pages. I found the jewelry that I would ultimately buy on the first page, but I wanted to continue looking a little bit more rather than pull the trigger right away. Nothing else really spoke to me like the necklace picture above. It was perfect. The etsy store that I purchased this necklace from was called The Run Home or you can order directly from their website.
This store has some awesome stuff! I didn't browse the entire store, but I liked what I saw, I love what I received, and I will shop there again. The prices are great! I much prefer to support independent artists/craftspeople than ordering from a larger business. Etsy is a wonderful website for that.
I placed my order on Tuesday evening while I was watching Extreme Weight Loss, it shipped (from Georgia) on Wednesday, and I received it on Friday. I loved the necklaces! Obviously I only opened mine because they come beautifully wrapped and packaged. I wanted Sarah to open hers as a present.
Seriously, how awesome is this box with the silver ribbon cord around it? Presentation is really everything. It goes a long way in my book. Not to mention, I received a hand written note from the owner, Debbie. Classy. Also, there were care instructions and a cloth to clean the necklace. I love it!
Just a quick note, I did add the open heart charm extra. The necklace as advertised just came with the quote and the barbell. I was debating whether to add an S on Sarah's necklace and a V for mine, but I decided on the open heart charm. It was a little smaller than I expected, but now seeing the whole necklace, it is actually the perfect size and doesn't distract from anything else. A bigger heart charm would have crowded it too much.
Not only did I love my necklace, but Sarah did, too. I had to run to a private Pilates session with Cassie and she was manning the protein shake table, so we didn't get too much time to chat.
I would HIGHLY recommend Debbie and The Run Home store for your athletic jewelry needs. This is definitely the first of many purchases I will make.
Be sure to like their Facebook page. I'd like to hear if any of you purchase anything. Love my necklace and it inspires me to fight on.
