The Classic Santa Claus Movie by Dreamworks in a Locket by Origami Owl

December 1, 2016 by Jennylou

I came to America July 1987 with very limited English an exposure to all things American was a delight. Despite the occasional confusion, I found almost everything amusing. The automatic doors at the airport was pretty awesome to a 5 year old. Living in cramped apartment complexes was another new thing, one I rather not have encountered. Soon, I entered school and everyday was a source of delight and fear all wrapped into one. With all things new, nothing helped faster assimilation and learning of the “American ways” more than watching what was on TV. I loved watching Punky Brewster, Full House, Family Matters and the like. Sesame Street was cool too but my mind could not wrap around how puppets were able to talk and walk without human help. I was that kid 🙂

Just a few months later, the tube dawned Christmas shows, specials, and those vintage cartoons made via screen by screen shots of play dough or felt people. I was totally drawn to the classics such as Rudolf the Red-nose Reindeer and the Abominable Snowman BUT my ultimate favorite was Santa Claus and his wife Mrs. Clause. How could someone so cheerful and happy exist and be so giving? As a child with a single mom who didn’t get much, I wished that Santa would come bring me something and I was sure he would because I was that child that followed every rule and compliant to all things of authority. There was no doubt I was going to be on the “Nice” list. I wished daily that Santa would come and bring me a gift.

When Origami Owl revealed their new exclusive looks featuring Officially Licensed DreamWorks Animation Charms capturing the timeless TV classic, “Santa Clause is Comin’ to Town!” a whole bunch of childhood emotions I had tied to the movie came rolling in. This brought a huge smile to my heart and face.

But wait, there’s more. New Officially Licensed DreamWorks Animation Charms include a penguin wearing a scarf. This charm reminds me of their many movies full of penguins stemming that’s started over a decade ago. If you or your child is a fan of one or more of the Penguins of Madagascar movies, this is a sweet keepsake to wear on the wrist.

This limited-time set has 3 exclusively designed Charms featured in two predesigned looks that include a Living Locket®* and a Genuine Leather Wrap Bracelet to help you celebrate the spirit of the season and give yourself an extra smile with jewelry you won’t find anywhere else. These festive, holiday-themed looks are perfect for gifting and especially for those customers who are holiday Charm collectors!

And for icing on the cake, enjoy FREE {standard} SHIPPING on orders $over $85 USD | $110 CAD until December 14 at 11:59 p.m. CT!

{Sold Out} Black Friday DoorBusters with Origami Owl Jewelry REVEALED!

November 23, 2016 by Jennylou

Alrighty, seem kinda early right? But after I post this, I have to get ready and head out of town because we are doing Thanksgiving far away with tamales and tortillas and all the goodies that my loving mother-in-law puts together every year. Yes, we have turkey too. I’m not much of a turkey girl (I’m more of a ham) but when she cooks it, I eat it. And some people don’t believe it, but there is something in turkey that knocks you out! With that said, after tonight, I will have no time to be online and make this post. Social media posts here and there, yes. Blog post, no.

Ok. You are here to see the Black Friday deals, but before I show you, you need to remember these 3 things….

Doorbusters start on Black Friday {Friday, November 25} at 6 a.m. CT (that is 4 am for you California people!) Eastcoasters, you can sleep a little bit more but not too much because even though they say they are available until Noon, they probably will not last. I know I sound like a broken record with “while supplies last” year after year, but year after year, customers are dissapointed saying they didn’t know they were going t go that quick. Fair warning.
There will be five, limited-time, preselected looks available at the low prices of $19, $24 and $39 USD | $24, $38 and $50 CAD while supplies last. They’re VERY giftable and perfect for just about everyone on you and your customers’ lists.
Substitutions may apply but they are substituted with something just as good as what was show and sometimes with something even better. I do encourage you to shop early because these looks WILL go fast! You will find them on my Origami Owl site https://locketsandcharms.origamiowl.com/ under Shop > Categories > Black Friday (please note, it could take a few minutes after they launch at 6 a.m. CT for the deals to appear.). If my prediction is correct, the direct link to the Black Friday sale is https://locketsandcharms.origamiowl.com/shop/categories/blackfriday

BONUS: Anything else you need to know about these, you can find it here http://faq.origamiowl.com/faq-category/black-friday-faqs/

Alrighty, now that we have all the little details out the way, without further adieu, here are the things that will be available before the sun rises on Black Friday. Set that alarm and get those lockets!

And yes, while Black Friday is going on, the $1+ deals below are still taking place as well. So much to save and beautiful gifts to give!

How do you Like Your Espresso? #NationalEspressoDay

November 23, 2016 by Jennylou

I woke up today and found out that is it National Espresso Day. Yay! Happy National Espresso Day, everyone =) For many of us, that day is every day, isn’t it? Every day we have our cup of coffee or we have our espressos straight or in a latte. Are you a coffee or an espresso drinker? Some people think that these are the same but as any coffeehouse enthusiast would know, they are not.

How do you like your espresso? I am a latte kind of gal and in my lattes are 2 shots of Peet’s Coffee espresso beans. I love the one called Forte. The magic is definitely in their delicious beans. My hubby, on the other hand, love his espresso diluted in water and ice called an Americano.

We used to visit a Peet’s almost every single day – sometimes twice – because they are just so good with their lattes and Americano. But with our staying-out-of-debt plan (we’ve been debt free for awhile now), this spending on espresso drinks was not a good thing. We thought of ways to cut back – as in drinking it less, but that was just too huge to fathom. We both loved having it made for us and hearing the baristas say, “Would you like it served for here or to go?” “For here, please.” was our usual reply. But we soon sought another alternative and it has worked wonders for us. We bought an espresso machine!

Yes, almost a year ago, we bought an espresso machine on Amazon and we have been using it since. I even wrote about it on my personal blog with a little video to show how that little baby worked: http://www.jennylouraya.com/how-to-make-your-peets-coffee-at-home/

Oh, the oodles of money we have saved from making drinks at home. We also saved time and gas. I’m not going to lie and say we have not bought one of the many latte drinks I love, or an Americano for hubby, from Peet’s since our espresso machine arrived in our kitchen. But what I will say is that it has definitely paid itself over and over again within the first month we had that thing. If you are looking for ways to save money in your cup, check out an espresso machine for your kitchen counter.

So back to my original question, how do you like your espresso?

Love espresso and coffee so much you must have it in your locket, get your Espresso charm or your Coffee charm on the charms page.
