Thank you dear! Why do I love blogging? 1) I have "met" so many wonderful people as a result of this blog and have made some good friends from it. 2) It is a welcome distraction from my job and hectic work schedule. 3) I have discovered many new companies/products as a result of blogging. (Blogging: good for you, bad for your wallet.)

Say something to the person/s who tagged you. Megs, you are one of my absolute favorite bloggers and I hope to one day shop/drink with you. Not necessarily in that order.

What is your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? My Yeshiva girls ring that I got from Hadaya when I was in Israel. He custom-makes the rings to say whatever you want on them. Mine says "it is a great mitzvah to always be happy" on it in Hebrew on the outside, and the inside has the Jerusalem skyline and my Hebrew name/middle name, Rachel, on it in Hebrew. There isn't another ring exactly like this anywhere in the world, and every time I wear it I think of my Birthright trip to Israel and of me and my friend walking around the Old City trying to find the store.
