I love jewelry and whenever I have money to spare, I always buy one. My mother used to tell me that jewelry is a very important part of any outfit because it somehow completes the ‘look.’ I think I internalized this advice too much that’s why I love buying rings, necklaces or bracelets so much. I always feel bare whenever I go out without any jewelry on my body.
Anyway, with the number of jewelry I have, my major problem is how I could organize them. I always have a hard time finding what I want to wear because they all look like clutter nowadays. Thankfully, my sister bought me a wooden jewelry chest for me because she wants me to organize my stuff. I now have an easier way of finding my jewelry because they are now organized.

And after juggling two jobs in order to survive in a day of inflation and bear economies, it is but proper for me to be practical and be smarter on how I would spend my money. It’s always much safer to have a few bucks in my pocket for that rainy day.

My older sister will celebrate her 18th birthday next week. I was thinking of gifts to give her but due to my lack of money, my options are limited. She likes accessorize cute jewelry to be exact. I considered making one for her but I simply lacked the creativity and talent. The others I see at the malls are not that beautiful and I was already panicking when my friend suggested that I should just find affordable gemstone jewelry.
Yesterday, I went to a store she suggested and surely enough, there were lots of jewelry within my budget. They didn’t look cute; instead, they were perfect ‘mature-yet-elegant-looking types. It was perfect since my sister will soon be a lady! I bought one with her birthstone and I’m really excited to give it to her.

When I was a child, I had fond memories of my mother putting her jewelry on whenever she had to go out with my dad or whenever there was a special occasion in our house. She looked so beautiful wearing them I imagined her as a princess. Sometimes, she would let me put them on and tell me how beautiful I look like. Those jewelry gave me some kind of special connection with my mother. She passed away a few years ago and all those jewelry were given to me.
In a way, seeing those precious gems and stones made me feel sad and miss her more. But I’m also very happy that I still have these memorabilia to help me remember those days and relive them. I recently bought a heart jewelry box that will be the new home of my mom’s memories. I plan to pass it on to my daughter and tell her stories about her grandmother and the jewelry inside the heart-shaped box.
