Get the Morrigan eBook FREE & Check Out the Audiobook!


Abandoned as an infant, Morrigan spent years shuffled around the foster system, never finding a permanent home. People either bullied or avoided her, sensing she was different. She does her best to keep her abilities hidden: the power to move objects with her mind, control fire, and glimpse the future. Believing her dreams of mystical creatures and castles are her imagination, it isn’t until Filtiarn appears, the dark knight of her fantasies and the man tasked with guiding her to the magical land of Tír na NÓg, that she realizes her true identity. Once reunited with her mother and grandmother, will their triad be able to save the forgotten land of magic from being devoured by an ancient evil?

Treasure Chest Mystery Box from Magick Souls — 1 of 3



I was going to try a different mystery‑box company this week, but then Magick Souls dropped their Treasure Chest deal and the prices were way too good to pass up. I grabbed three little treasure chests for $30, and honestly, the boxes alone are worth that price. They’re sturdy, adorable, and perfect for storing crystals, jewelry, or whatever magical charms you collect.

This post is for Chest #1, and it did not disappoint.





What as Inside Chest #1

This chest was packed with a gorgeous assortment of crystals and carved stones — definitely the kind of mix that makes these boxes feel whimsical and fun.

Here’s what I found:

  • Mini amethyst clusters

  • Two pyrite nuggets.

  • A green carved mushroom

  • A rose‑quartz heart

  • A pink crystal point

  • A blue carved rabbit

Everything was neatly tucked inside the wooden chest, and the mix of shapes, colors, and textures made this first box feel like a tiny magical treasure haul. For $10 per chest, this is an incredible value, especially considering the quality of the box itself. The crystals were a fun mix of decorative pieces and carved shapes, and it definitely set the bar high for the next two chests. Check out my unboxing video below and stay tuned for chest #2.

Unclaimed Mail - Shower Heads & MORE BRAS

My mom opened a few more Surprise Chest boxes today, and this batch was lots of fun. First up: a shower head, which looked pretty high-tech. Then she pulled out a stack of kids’ books, which is always a sweet surprise.

And then… you guessed it… MORE BRAS. At this point it’s practically a running joke, but today’s twist? They were her size. For once, the universe aligned and sent her something she can actually use instead of another 5XL hammock masquerading as lingerie. Check out the video below to see her reactions.

IBERJOYA DIAMOND EXPERTS SHARE 5 TIPS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING AN ENGAGEMENT RING

 


 

IberJoya Diamonds, a family-owned diamond and fine jewelry business established in 1949, is sharing five expert tips to help customers choose an engagement ring with confidence. Originally established in Spain, they have spent decades helping customers celebrate life’s most meaningful moments with natural diamonds, fine gemstones, custom jewelry, and expert craftsmanship. With four generations of experience and a Boca Raton showroom, IberJoya combines hand-selected natural diamonds, custom design expertise, and personalized service to help clients find a ring that reflects both their love story and their lifestyle.

Naturally, IberJoya has become a hotspot for engagement ring shopping. Iberjoya’s jewelers offer expert guidance for selecting a meaningful diamond ring. “An engagement ring is one of the most personal purchases someone will ever make,” said Angel Manrique, Co-Owner. “The best choice balances beauty, quality, practicality, and meaning.”




Jewelers at IberJoya advise potential buyers to learn “the 4 Cs”, referring to the cut, color, clarity, and carat of a diamond. Cut affects how much a diamond sparkles; color measures how colorless the stone appears; clarity reflects natural characteristics within the diamond; and carat refers to weight. IberJoya encourages buyers to focus on overall quality and beauty, not size alone.

Iberjoya also recommends customers consider a Natural Diamond. Natural diamonds are prized for their exceptional durability, making them ideal for a piece of jewelry meant to be worn on the hand every day. Whether colorless or naturally occurring in rare hues such as yellow, pink, blue, or green, natural diamonds offer lasting beauty.




The Boca Raton-based jewelers recommend choosing a design that will last generations. An engagement ring can become part of your family's story. Whether you're starting a new tradition or redesigning a cherished heirloom, existing diamonds and settings can be transformed into a custom design that preserves their history while celebrating a new chapter.

They also suggest considering a loved one’s lifestyle and personal taste. Someone who is active may prefer a secure, lower-profile setting, while others may gravitate toward modern designs, classic silhouettes, or a particular metal such as rose gold, white gold, or yellow gold.



Finally, they suggest setting a realistic budget. A realistic budget helps narrow the selection and makes the buying process more comfortable. With expert guidance, customers can prioritize the qualities that matter most and find a ring that feels both beautiful and financially sensible.

As a family-owned business, IberJoya remains dedicated to excellence through hand-selected diamonds, masterful custom designs, meticulous attention to detail, and a strong commitment to personalized service for every client. With a rich family tradition inspired by decades of legacy, IberJoya Diamonds brings personalized service and modern artistry to the heart of Boca Raton. Customers can expect a warm, welcoming environment where every piece tells a story and every experience is tailored to the individual.

 

Surprise Chest Unclaimed Mail - Is Bigger Better?

 Fernando is back and ready to tackle another round of Surprise Chest unclaimed mail, and this time he went straight for the biggest package in the pile. He had to find out if bigger really is better. He tore into the largest piece of unclaimed mail and discovered…two dozen computer screen protectors. We're going to see if we can pass them along to a school.

Next up, he opened a neck pillow, and finally, he pulled out a pair of cute red shoes in a size five that we passed on to a friend of a friend.

Bup Box Unclaimed Mail — Thunderstorm Car Unboxing!

Sometimes the unclaimed‑mail chooses you. Me and my son were stuck in the car during a full‑blown thunderstorm, and instead of just sitting there listening to the rain pound on the roof, I decided it was the perfect time to open a few Bup Box packages. Because why not turn a storm into content?

What I Got in This Round

  • A life‑saving choking rescue kit

  • A silver keychain in Spanish

  • Fake eyelashes

Check out the video below to see the full storm‑side unboxing and our reactions as we opened everything with thunder rumbling in the background.

Don’t Miss Heather’s Haul

My friend Heather from I’m in a Zen Garden State of Mind also opened her second batch of Bup Box packages, and trust me, you’ll want to see what she got.
