There were nights that I don't get to sleep at all bec

It’s incredible how celebrities find it so easy to spend a lot of money. Madonna has decided to bring back knuckle bling in a big way. Sporting a shiny new “M-dolla” knuckle ring for the cover of her new album, Hard Candy, the pop-queen proves, once again, that some celebrities just make too much money. The ring, designed by Chopard, is made up of a whopping 258 brilliant cut white diamonds which includes Chopard's signature floating diamond. The Swiss jewelers have done other ridiculously-expensive work for the ‘Erotica’ singer earlier, designing a diamond necklace for her Confessions on a Dance Floor tour. Although, considering the size of it, it seems very practical – it would make one heck of a weapon against all that paparazzi. And really, as far as the paparazzi go, who w

Did you play with Barbie as a kid? I was a huge fan of Barbie and Ken and her entire posse. As I got older, it was not acceptable to be playing with or collecting Barbie dolls. I guess jewelry designers Layna and Alan Friedman thought of me when they designed these blinged out Barbie jewelry for the grown ups. This bling doesn't come cheap. The Barbie Rocks collection features bracelets, necklaces and rings with the style icon, Barbie, herself on them. The prices range from $8 to $15,000. If you still love Barbie, show your loyalty with some bling. That's what Barbie would do.

Lately bling has been fused with the fashion world in hip hop and even in other genres. You’ve seen shirts with designs made entirely of rhinestones and even gemstones. I’m sure you noticed the baseball hats decorated with stones as well. Hip hop is known for daring new trends and trying different things. The talk of town these days are shoe tags, which are otherwise known as shoe grillz. Why do they call them that? Quite simple, they are made just like iced out grillz, but they are for your shoes.Our Hip Hop Shoe GrillzOur shoe tags are extremely high quality pieces of jewelry.

When I was a kid, I used to get so excited when my grandmother would walk me down to the five-and-dime store to pick out a cheap toy or novelty item. I used to love to get pea shooters, wax lips and pop rocks, as well as baseball cards and other inexpensive collectibles. These items brought instant gratification and hours of amusement.

I can’t afford therapy so I’m writing in my journal, religiously. It sits on my bedside table and sometimes I stay up until one in the morning, writing down my feelings and reflections, trying to figure stuff out and make myself accountable for changes I’m trying to make.Recently I’ve been made acutely aware of how much I worry about what other people think. Does anyone else struggle with this? When I’m at church, with my family, talking with my ex, and yes, even publishing posts to this here blog. It’s been something I’ve struggled with since high school. Before that I remember being a carefree child who could care less what anyone thought. What changed that?Junior high. At least that’s when I realized that others’ judgments could impact me in a very public way. There was this popular pack of boys who would roam the halls before school, circling the 8th grade wing and bulldozing anyone in their path.
