Received this email this morning from a client…its too inspiring not to share. Allison has been lusting over the iloveme ring for more than two years (she emails me every few months to check in) and her sweet boyfriend ending up surprising her with it for her bday this month!!!
Here’s a pict of them. So sweet!
I obvi got permission to share her story. Hope you’re inspired too:)

Arielle:
I apologize in advance, as I’m not a blogger. I don’t so much as “tweet”! Still, I want to share my iloveme ring story as it’s been years in the making.
While I’m not much of a writer, I’m definitely right side of the brain dominant. I channel my creativity in other ways. For instance, I love to cook and concoct healthy dishes. Years ago, while scanning the pages of SELF-magazine, primarily for recipes, I came across an inspirational article written by NYC and beyond renowned life-coach, Gabriel Bernstein. I was somewhat familiar with Gabriel since a few months earlier, while browsing the self-help section at Barnes & Nobles, I had stumbled across her book, Add More ING to your Life. I was 23 years old and going through a difficult divorce, which stirred up suppressed anguish from my Fathers passing away just a few years prior. The glossy image of Gabriel coinciding with a featured collection of her favorite things included the iloveme ring. I couldn’t take my eyes off of the shiny accessory.
I went online (became completely fascinated by the website: www.bewellwitharielle) and ordered the ring for myself. Unfortunately, there was a PayPal glitch and my ring never arrived. At the time, I decided I couldn’t really afford the ring, so it was probably for the best.
[Two]-years later, my sweet boyfriend (who was brainstorming what to get me for my birthday) recalled a conversation a few weeks before about a recipe I’d found on Arielle’s blog. I must have mentioned my forsaken ilovemering because it became the best, most thoughtful birthday gift I ever could have wished for. I truly love the ring…almost as much as I love my boyfriend! Emotionally, I’m in such a healthier place now and when I look at my ring it symbolizes a much happier state of well-being.
Warmly,
Allison
