Charm Bracelet

I always amazed how reading a book can broaden my mind and my know-how of other countries culture. I never knew that Charm Bracelet actually means something. According to Mrs. Wikipedia a charm bracelet is an item of jewellery worn around the wrist that carries personal "charms" with decorative pendants or trinkets which signify important things in the wearer's life.

If you ever see a charm bracelet each pendant actually meant something to the wearer. This I never knew. I had a ready-to-wear charm bracelet that I bought it in online store but that pendants didn't represent me or my life. Apparently, it is common thing to mark important things in your life in a charm bracelet. You can made it by yourself or set an order in jewelry store.


This are charm bracelet Christian Grey gave Ana in her birthday mark: Paris, London black taxi (both from their honeymoon), sailing, soaring, Charlie Tango (all from C.Grey hobbies), Ben&Jerry's&Ana's, (there's supposed to be piano) (from their kinky sex), a love locket, a key to C. Grey heart, and a C (as becoming his first girlfriend).

This are charm bracelet inspired from Fifty Shades of Grey mark each sweet moments in C. Grey and A. Grey relationship and their kinky sex.

This is the best I can find charm bracelet inspired from Beautiful Disaster not the one Trav gave Abby as Val's gift.

Abby's charm bracelet mark: sweater (covered in blood in their first meet), a pair of dice, a green bead with shamrocks, motocycle (Trav's love), heart ('course), decks of cards (to remind of Vegas), turkey (Maddoz Thanksgiving), black bead (a dark memory when Abby leave Trav), flame and a ring (their wedding)


I found this tutorial (for men only) to give your partner a handmade and cheap (though we love diamonds we crazy more of thoughtful men). :)



If I could have a charm bracelet what will I put on it? Dunno. Age makes me less romantic :p but it's true. Maybe if you gave me when I was in college I probably will have ear to ear stupid grin but I'll try to do the same now. Okay stop blabbering non sense, I am not typically romantic.

My charm bracelet will mark: all the Divergent symbol, a script of LOVE, a butterfly, a skull, my initial name-F, Eiffel tower, a green leaf, Africa and a globe. All represents some stages of life I've been through and some dreams I never had a chance to make it come true.

So if you can have your own charm bracelet, what will you put in there?

.Cheers.

Personalize Your Office Desk

Office desk is one place where we spent a lot of time aside from home. Some people may have the need to personalized their office desk. My desk is in cubicle area with three cubicle and only being occupied by me. As I tried to personalize my own office desk I stumbled to this amazing idea. But I have to admit I don't like a lot of clutter. I am clean and neat freak.

Once I tried to personalized my desk with cactus and pictures and eggs and Eiffel tower display - got it from a wedding souvenir and my sister in-law. But the cactus is dead and the idea of letting people saw my other side of life through pictures wasn't a good idea so left me with the eggs and Eiffel tower display.

But maybe these things will give you inspirations to personalize your office desk:
  • Interesting office supplies - you can play with colors or unique modern design.
  • Pictures - a few pictures of family or friends, natural themes, animal kingdom, or whatever you like with different frame you desire. My suggestion is try not to put pictures of Harvey Specter or Edward Cullen or any celebrities half-naked or the like.
  • Plants - small green plants may give you another sight but remember plants need light and oxygen. My cactus died less than a week so I planned artificial flowers or plants.
  • A mug - a mug with personal touch with interesting color or shape.
  • Books - Little stack of books related to your job or novel-like gives you different vibe to your desk.
  • Gadgets or toys or other display - stylish lamp, personal clock, unique desk calendar, small toys you find fun.
  • Certificate of accomplishment.

Artificial plants





Have you decide what's to put in your desk? Ah.... I need a new mug, a unique one.
