Happy November everyone! The past few months since I have graduated college have brought many changes in my life. I have started two different jobs and decided that they weren't for me as well as moved to the beautiful city of Chicago to finally be with my boyfriend of two years. Two different jobs and a move in five months sounds like a lot but honestly I couldn't have been more ready for each of the decisions that I have made. I've been thinking a lot about my life lately and the choices that I've made and the journey that I've had during my twenty-something years. I realized that the things that I have enjoyed during my life have often-times turned into obsessions and I have been fanatic about certain things. For example, I couldn't just have one Hello Kitty sticker book growing up, I had to collect them all and then never even use the stickers because I was "saving" them for a better occasion. I couldn't just go to a play, I had to know every word to every song in Wicked and own the Grimoire book and obsess over the pictures and the actors. I couldn't just love Jessica Simpson and have a couple songs, I collected each one of her albums and listened to her constantly, imagining that I was on stage singing her songs to my friends and family. I can't just watch The Rachel Zoe Project on Bravo, I have to move to Chicago and work as a stylist assistant and play "Claire Zoe" for a day. I'm sure that you get the picture by now. I like what I like and I can't help it.
Moving to Chicago brought the challenge of finding a new job that I would enjoy in this tough economy. So far, I have found a part-time position as a Brand Ambassador with Jewelmint. And, as with other endeavors in my life, I have become hooked! I am obsessed with Jewelmint. For those of you who don't know, as I didn't when I first started, Jewelmint is an extension of Beachmint, a company in San Diego started by the founder of Myspace. Beachmint is the umbrella company over the brands, Stylemint, Jewelmint, Beautymint, and Shoemint. These brands represent the designs of celebrities Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Kate Bosworth and Cher Coulter, Jessica Simpson, and Rachel Bilson respectively.

Jewelmint is the equivalent of Kim Kardashian's Shoe Dazzle or Kimora Lee Simmons' Just Fabulous or a wine-of-the-month club except for instead of shoes, the of-the-month product is fabulous jewelry designed by Kate Bosworth and stylist Cher Coulter. I was skeptical at first- does this mean that I'd have to spend $29.99 every month, because, frankly, in this economy, I couldn't do that. But what I discovered is this is not a scheme, you can skip whatever month you can't afford to buy and you can actually purchase whatever piece you want to- not just what is in your "showroom". This makes perfect sense to me! Tell me what you think I'll like and then give me access to everything you've got!
Currently I'm obsessed with the "Victorian Charmer Necklace". I think it has a vintage-charm and a simple elegance to it. As with all of Jewelmint's pieces, the necklaces are unique and are, in my opinion, unlike most any piece of jewelry that you will see in the department stores. Here is a picture of the Victorian Charmer Necklace that I took off of jewelmint.com:

As a new Mint Brand Ambassador I have had the opportunity to sell Jewelmint pieces at Chicago's Latino Fashion Week and I watched as some of the most interesting and fashion-forward women of Chicago took the Jewelmint Style Quiz online and purchased their first Jewelmint pieces with much excitement. It is clear to me that Jewelmint and the other Beachmint brands are the new "things" to watch. With the brand-new launch of Jessica Simpson's Beautymint skincare system and Rachel Bilson's Holiday 2011 launch of Shoemint, there are only good vibes on the horizon for Beachmint as a whole. I hope you are as excited as I am to see what is on the horizon! In the meantime, visit jewelmint.com and take the style quiz to get your showroom selections sent to your email absolutely free. And, if you decide to purchase your first unforgettable piece, take this little gift from me to you and use the discount code: chicago89 to get 50% off. You'll thank me later when you receive your first piece of Jewelmint treasure! What is your favorite style in your Jewelmint "showroom"? What was the first piece that you purchased? Who's brand are you most excited about? Tell me about it in the comments!
Love, xoxo
Claire
