My love for MEJURI

I’ve always been a big wearer of jewelry.  As a teen, I would wear rings on as many fingers as possible.  And before that, I was obsessed with having a name necklace (this was before SATC came on scene).  I’ve always been intrigued by unique types of jewelry before it became mainstream (thumb or nail rings).  Even like what different pieces symbolized (like Erykah Badu’s Ankh) or what it mean to wear rings on certain fingers. For me, the more jewelry the better.

On top of that, I never discriminated where I purchased my jewelry from.  I love eclectic pieces and knew they could be found anywhere!  Whether it was a boutique in MTL or Smart Set in the P.A.T.H (which sadly is no more!).  I’ve bought cool stuff at Holt Renfrew but also from street vendors.  

Sometimes my jewelry tells a story, sometime it’s my mood and sometimes its just the vibe for the day.

Growing up I used to wear either 24K or the stuff that stains my skin.  Thankfully I’ve learned a lot more about how jewelry is made, what works with my skin & sustainability.

I first heard about Mejuri in 2017 (a few years after it was founded) from a popular youtuber back in the day.  But I didnt make my first purchase until 2019.  I bought a few necklaces and was so happy with the quality that I bought a few thin stacker rings.  My most recent purchases include bracelets and charms.

Mejuri is known for its high quality jewelry – but what I love most about Mejuri is that its perfect to gift to yourself! And with the variety of price points it definitely makes it more enjoyable!

Laughin at fools like me

The Hubz recently gave me this beautiful necklace from Dogeared Jewels as my Karva Chauth GIft.  I’ve been completely inseparable from it and more particularly its meaning.

We recently watched a documentary at the Tiff LIght Box theatre.  Chasing Ice is a photo journalists’ journey to explain the effects that global warming is having on ice.  James Balog initially takes two pictures, of the same glacier, at 6 month intervals.  What he notices is the glacier makes dramatic retreats.  He continues to photograph ice and even sets up cameras in some extreme locations to capture the vivid imagery.

Like the rest of the science world, I’m still undecided about what the actual cause ice changes are (natural occurence or pollution).   But, as the movie states the “canary in the global coal mine” is telling us something.  Either way, the movie forces us to consider the consequences of our actions (non actions) on the world around us.
