Hi babes! Today I am sharing my picks from Engelsrufer’s AW17 collection. If you aren’t acquainted with this magical brand please take a look at my previous post here.
It was so challenging for me to pick favourites but after much consideration I managed to narrow it down to 4 gorgeous pieces that really complimented my style.
The first piece that I fell in love with was the Stella tennis bracelet. It is so lovely; delicately adorned with cubic zirconia. To complement it, I picked the Black Spinel bracelet which is made up of exquisite little black gems.
I had to have some Angel inspired pieces and I loved the dainty little Heartwing bracelet. I have always liked hearts on my jewellery and having a tiny wing sit on top of one just makes it perfect! I chose the silver so that I could layer it with the other two bracelets.
The final piece of jewellery I picked was the Flame Wing pendant. It is so simple and beautiful and is something that I will always treasure and keep with me, close to my heart.

It can be a world event or something that has happened to you or someone you know.

Something that happened this year is that i finally got to travel for the very first time in my life that has given me hope and has been the most amazing experience:)
Firstly thank you for a wonderful giveaway.
This year started with lots of heartache and tears, being a single mommy widowed at a young age it was overwhelming to raise a young daughter on my own. My car which was a gazillion years old literally broke down permanently, it was stressful and my budget tight as well….I was blessed with a unexpected surprise after being four months without a car, my late husband’s sister gave me her car to use for as long as I need to, I had heart full of gratitude and the tears of sorrow and happiness intertwined, I need a car as Iive in area where public transport isnt easy, it was difficult for my daughter and I , but as you said we all have a guardian angel watching over us.
Love to win more so for daughter, December is a sad time as my husband passed away on a Christmas Eve and my daughter never had the joy of having a complete family at Christmas, nevertheless life has to go and we have to be keep the faith .
Thank you once again
Festive Greetings and Blessings to you

Today, my 6-year-old daughter hugged me and said, “You are the best mom in the whole entire world!” I smiled at her and sarcastically replied, “How do you know that? You haven’t met every mom in the whole entire world.” My daughter squeezed me tighter and said, “Yes I have. You are my world.” This was the best feeling ever, because we as moms always worry if we’re doing a good job with our kids. Life is such a haste, always running around…always rushing. This made me realise that even though I have my faults, my daughter thinks I’m doing a great job! It’s an indescribable feeling!
Thank you so much. I needed to see this right at this moment! I am constantly training my mind daily to think and remain positive, but I have to admit, it is a struggle and I am just doing the best I can each day to NOT give up and to keep thinking positive. I’ve gone through a huge transition this year, personally and professionally. I’ve lost some friendships and rekindled old ones which worked out for the best. I’ve also been contemplating to pursue a project for a while now, which, I finally did because I found the courage to proceed with it. Your blog post has inspired me to reevaluate myself and priorities more too. Keep up the good work, and keep inspiring and motivating. xx
This year my guardian angels worked overtime. I survived and escaped death when the odds were against me. I got a second chance in life and I’m not wasting it. There are signs everywhere that angels watch over us, we just need to keep our eyes open and ask them for help.
When i fetch my baby from daycare .my son run into my arms. That is tbe best feeling. It can make my sick disappear and pur a smile on my dial i look forward the hug each day.. my boy
Falling pregnant with my boy after years of trying. Definitely my guardian angel moment.
For way too long I have been single almost 6 years since I moved back from London. I lost hope that I would meet someone who would make my heart beat a lil faster. And just when I focused on me the Universe sent #mytravellerheartbeat to me. He has been my rock even though we live a continent apart.7 weeks ago my Gran passed away and my special person really helped me through this difficult period and does so everyday. Even though we are miles apart I feel as if I exist in two places where I and where he is. So I am most grateful for #mytravellerheartbeat who brings rainbows to my rainy days, who makes me laugh and motivates me to be a better person every day.

This year has been a great and difficult learning experience for me. I firstly left an amazing university and stopped studying towards my degree at the beginning of the year this was due to A) Homesickness and Loneliness and B) A very bad break-up with my ex-boyfriend of 3 years which left me heartbroken. So..I took the year off in order to find myself, gain some independence and perspective on what I really wanted. For a while I was very bored at home with little to do and I lay in bed most of the day depressed and questioning where I was going in life , regretting all my previous decisions. However, besides my support system, what really got me through this time was actually funny enough winning competitions (which I only started entering this year) because I won tickets to go to various concerts and music festivals. It turned my life around. My year in the end turned out just what I need…a break… full of fun and memories that I know will last a lifetime. I then started doing small jobs here and there such as promotional work and landed a small part time job. In 2018 I will start studying again. I think your blog is wonderful and inspiring to your readers and I’ll just add what a wonderful giveaway that I am sure anyone would be ecstatic to win.
I met a stunning new friend this year on a unexpected way and I really do believe this friend is actually my guardian angel in human form!
A year ago, at the age of 23, my world changed. I was diagnosed with stage 5 kidney failure and my life was turned upside down. I tatted dialysis and spent the most of the year at the hospital while still working a full time job. In August this year, my father was approved as my kidney donor. My world started looking amazing again and I felt like I was finally getting a break. Exactly three weeks ago, my father donated his kidney to me. This giveaway would be an amazing way to end of this troublesome yet rewarding year.
My granddaughter is getting married, this was really the highlight of my year, she is the only grandchild I have that lives close to me plus I celebrated the big 90th this year.
2017 has been a year of ups and downs, I have really been tested this year, my Guardian Angel has worked overtime protecting me on the road – I have had so many near accidents due to the flooding in KZN and the bad drivers, I thank God for my protection and the ups have certainly made up for the downs, my daughter got engaged and nothing could make me happier than planning this wedding ♥♥♥
This has been a tough year full of stress and sorrow for my family as my cousin has been battling cancer all year and even through it all we prayed and pushed ourselves to be positive, this December we hope it may turn around as we put all our hopes in the bone marrow he is due to receive!Even in this trying times we have met the most wonderful kind people which has restored my hope in humanity and that some really do still care about others??
This year has been filled with stress and anxiety, watching someone close to me going through an ugly divorce… but I have learnt that children are resilient and the saying”this too shall pass” rings true every day. There is so much to be thankful for and everyone has worries, not just me. 🙂

Thank you for the opportunity to enter this competition.
It has been a very tough last 6 months of 2017.
I became very ill in June and doctors were guessing what was wrong with me.
To date they still don’t know.
I’m self employed so it even effected my work.
Pain was unbearable. Felt like a red hot poker going right through my body.
No painkillers or injections helped.
I lived on Grandpa.
Thank goodness I’m on the path to recovery
Blessed to have a strong and confident son who when faced with his father’s accident stepped in and got him to the hospital. So glad that my husband is still here with us and on the road to recovery.
This year had started off horribly wrong, it’s almost as if everything bad that could happen all happened at the same time. Looking back at what has happened and where I am 12 months later, it makes me grateful and definitely weary of how lucky I am. Throughout all these difficulties and trying times I’ve had the most incredible support from my parents and husband, for me, that is something only someone looking out for you can bless you with in this world???
On a lighter note, Winning this would definitely be a sign that my guardian angel is out there ????
It was a crappy few months for me but in the middle of all the chaos and pain, I found out I was pregnant. It was the best news considering I was told I might need treatment to fall pregnant. It was the best gift I could have ever received. ?
It may not be a big thing for most people, but the kid that I would never have celebrated her first birthday. And she might even have a sister in the next year… hoping for good news on the 12th!
For my family it has been a tough 4 years where we lost the last of a generation, watched our daughter struggle through fertility treatments. She cried, broke in pieces and kept getting up to continue with more treatments. She ignored doctors that said it would be impossible. She wanted what nobody throught she could have and in the end she had her child. She didn’t stop either, she wanted a sibling and went through it all again. Now she waits to hear if her surrogate is pregnant with her next child.
She is our quiet child that doesn’t know how to give up. She inspired so many others.
