My New Solar Pathway Lights!

Before I went to Belgium, I was approached by YesComUSA to review one of their products.  They are an online superstore which sells novelty and outdoor products, so seeing as how I just moved in and my 'hood is a little dark, I asked them to send me these cute pathway lights:



They arrived really quickly, and the packaging was very secure:

All the lights worked and I got them installed very easily simply by pressing the stakes into the ground.  I love the way they look (if you don't love copper, they also come in a silver finish), and I love the white light they put off at night.  

At first I was a little concerned about whether they would be sturdy, because the copper tube seems pretty thin.  However, the very first day after I installed them, one of them was ripped up (I guess a dog ran by or something).  The parts were scattered all over and I thought for sure that was that.  But I put it back together, the light is still working, and it didn't so much as have a mark on it, so that sucker was sturdier than I thought!  They've been in the ground for about three weeks now and look as good as they did the first day, so I'm happy.  You can get your own right here!  

Back from Belgium!

Belgium?  What do you mean, Belgium?  I know, I know.  I was going to move into the new house and start nesting and blogging and not go anywhere.

Then I suddenly got invited to go back to Belgium and what could I say?  So less than a month after we moved in, I left the unpacked boxes behind and went across an ocean for eight days.  I'm definitely crazy. But it was wonderful, and now I am blogging about this instead!

(Oh, by the way, did you know I go there for work?  Yes, I work part-time selling diamonds and fine jewelry.  You can come see what I do here and here.  I go with my Mother-in-Law, who works at this great jewelry store, and we travel with this great group called IJO).

Love this pic.  Rainy night in the square.

Scenes from Bruges

We took a tour of a brewery this time, so fun.

Scenes from Work

Look how hard I'm working!

Standing in the Diamond District.  Not as glamorous as it sounds.

A parcel of pears.

Fancy and round parcels.

All kinds of diamonds.

Rough diamonds.  The brownish color is due to an oily coating, and doesn't reflect the final color of the cut diamonds.

This is what 9,715.70 carats of rough diamonds looks like.  Yes, you read that number right.

So that about sums it up!  I have been back for a week and I might finally be adjusted.  Will be back tomorrow with a product review.  Love y'all!
