𝒞𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒴𝑒𝒶𝓇:
♕ Original: The Tiara first made an appearance in 1818, by Her Royal Highness Augusta The Dowager Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. The Tiara was given to her as a wedding gift from her family.
♕ The New Tiara: Designed in 1913 by Her Majesty Queen Mary but was created by The House of Garrard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝒟𝑒𝓈𝒾𝑔𝓃:
The Tiara features a Diamond and Pearl tiara with Lover's Knot Motifs. The lover’s knot motif was very popular in the nineteenth century; the knots are the pretzel-like elements at the top of the tiara - the part from which the pendant pearls are suspended. Originally Mary’s Tiara was topped with a row of upright pearls, which made the tiara taller & grander than the version we currently see on the current Duchess of Cambridge. The pearls are the same pearls that once sat on The Girls Of Great Britain And Ireland Tiara, but they could removed off the Lover’s Knot. When Queen Mary died, the upright pearls were removed off the tiara. Lovers Knot bows were part of the design of the tiara, which was repeated along the entire length of the tiara, and from which originated two drop-shaped pearls, one hanging down and the other rising up like a spike.

The Tiara is a small minor tiara. It features large scroll elements arranged across a geometric band of diamonds (The Halo Tiara has a total of 1,000 diamonds) & maintains all the characteristics of the Art Deco movement of design that started in 1925. The gems are of Geometric shape, in what’s described as a baton shape, topped by round diamonds that punctuate the points between the scrolls along the top. The scrolls have an almost wave-like shape on one side giving the piece a sense of movement. They are each covered in round diamonds and edged with a line of specially cut tapered square and rectangular gems. The triple line of round diamonds at the bottom complete the piece. The largest diamond—a round brilliant—highlights the top center of design.

Thank you sweet one! Life is going great & hopefully will continue to go great!
Hey Y’all! I know it’s been a while but life went from slow with nothing happening to absolutely crazy! So here’s an update on life & posting!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Y’all big things are coming for my family & I!
1. I got a job! My mom got a phone call the other day from a friend of hers who works at the middle school I attended when I was a teenager. The women runs the school’s after school program & asked for me to come help her, as they are looking for more teens to help with the program. I put in my job application on Tuesday, October 29th, 2019 & I find out Wednesday, October 30th, 2019 when my phone interview & my in person interview is! It pays $9 an hour & I would be working Monday through Friday with weekends & holidays off.
2. I created my resume with the help of a magazine that I help with! As y’all know, I am a content & public relations team member for an online magazine called Her Campus. Well, we had a meeting on Tuesday, October 29th, 2019, where us girls could create resumes & cover letters that we would eventually need in the future. It was such a great opportunity to learn how to be an adult & prepare for my future.
3. My brother got into his dream college on Tuesday! My family & I are so excited for his future, as my brother is one of the intelligent, talented, athletic, dedicated, & hard working student I know. My brother is not staying in a dorm though (I don’t either right now for my college) so we will both be living at home, as our 2 colleges are a few minutes from our house. He got in on full scholarship & he’s so incredibly happy!
4. I will be going on a trip to my hometown in November! I haven’t been back since my huge fight with my dad’s family (we no longer speak to his family), so we will be staying in a hotel but we are there just to do things around my hometown but I’m so excited! I missed home a lot & it will be good to go back before I go back to school in January.
5. I go back to college in January! From June until December, I took a gap semester off college after 3 grueling & intense semesters back to back. My first semester of college Fall 2018 I took 4 classes (Failed 1), my second semester in Spring 2019 I took 4 classes (Failed 2), & my third semester during Summer 2019 I took a retake class of the math class I failed in the Fall of 2018 & passed it in the summer. This semester which is Spring 2020, I will be retaking my Spring 2019 retake classes which will be English 2 & Introduction to Humanities (Also called Art History). This semester registration doesn’t start until November, classes don’t start until January 13th, & the semester ends in May. I will be doing Her Campus, Working at my Middle School, & doing school all in one semester. I will be so dead tired, I probably won’t be doing social media a ton.
6. My cousin is having a baby! She announced in a few months ago but the baby is due in January! Her baby shower is next weekend with all of our family so I’m very excited! I can’t wait for this little baby boy to come & our family to grow one person bigger! Also sadly two of cousins, who are both married, their wives had miscarriages this month. We are incredibly heart broken because along with my cousin’s baby, the family was going to grow by 3 little angels. But sadly God had other plans for our family & took 2 of our little angels to heaven before we could meet them. It’s been a hard month for our family but hopefully with the little boy coming soon, we should have some light shine on us.
7. Sickness! Y’all it’s going around. I have been sick, my dad has been sick, my mom has been sick, & some of my friends have been sick. Ugh it’s called cold & flu season for a reason. Also why I haven’t been on Tumblr is due to being sick. Sickness kicked my butt & I ended up sleeping a lot! I’m feeling 100% again so I’m back to freaking feeling normal again & it’s such a good feeling. My dad is still a little bit sick, so healing is taking awhile!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay y’all! I will be catching up on posting in the next few days or so! I will be working on catch up posts from today (Wednesday) to however long it takes me to catch up! So be on the look out for new post! Life has just gotten so crazy for me that posting needed to stop for a while for me to enjoy all the positivity the world is giving me before I got back on social media!
Also new posts are up on my Instagram & my Disney Food Tumblr Blog! Go check those out & the links are right here!

Hey Y’all! I know it’s been a while but life went from slow with nothing happening to absolutely crazy! So here’s an update on life & posting!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Y’all big things are coming for my family & I!
1. I passed both of my job interviews! My co-workers are so sweet & even though I’ve only met my boss & one co-worker I know I’m going to love everyone! I just have to take a drug test & do a background fingerprint screening which happens next week! I’m so incredibly happy!
2. I’m going through a lot with family both good & bad situations. I’ll start with the good though. My cousin’s baby shower went great & was so incredibly adorable plus I got to help with set up & got to wear a cute dress that I own. We celebrated my grandfather’s (my mom’s father) 80th birthday & will soon be celebrating my mom’s parents 60th wedding anniversary this upcoming Sunday! My cousin’s wife just started a new job as a registered nurse & got her first paycheck! Also my brother & his girlfriend just celebrated 1 year as a couple & they are happier than ever & I’m so proud of those 2 crazy teens who also will be graduating high school in May 2020! Everyone seems to be growing up so fast & it’s so scary but so great to watch. Now the bad... My dad’s family. My dad’s family has never been kind to my dad, my mom, my brother, & I. They just have been cruel to us since the beginning of 2019 but it just keeps going like they have nothing better to do than to try to tear our life apart. I have now blocked everyone on that side of the family & will no longer talk to them or see them because they don’t deserve my time or attention.
3. My dad, my brother, & I bought our Christmas Tree (A fake tree due to our old fake tree finally breaking last year because we’ve had it for so long)! With Halloween coming to an end, November starting up, & Thanksgiving not being far away, we started decorating for not only Thanksgiving but Christmas! Along with Decorating comes Holiday Sweets & Treats! I have finally got back into baking this month as I have not baked anything in months sadly. I was in a dark space these past few months but I’m finally getting into a more positive space so me baking again was a great sign to my dad, that my mental health was getting better.
5. I go back to college in January! From June 2019 until December 2019, I took a gap semester off college after 3 grueling & intense semesters back to back. My first semester of college Fall 2018 I took 4 classes (Failed 1 class), my second semester in Spring 2019 I took 4 classes (Failed 2 classes), & my third semester during Summer 2019 I took a retake class of the math class I failed in the Fall of 2018 & passed it in the summer. This semester which is Spring 2020, I will be retaking my Spring 2019 retake classes which will be English 2 & Introduction to Humanities (Also called Art History). This semester registration doesn’t start until November, classes don’t start until January 13th, & the semester ends in May. I will be Working at my Middle School & doing school all in one semester. I will be so dead tired, I probably won’t be doing social media a ton.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay y’all. I will be sitting down trying to write down a plan of how long it’s been since I did my last post & figure out how to catch up. Life has just been a really crazy rollercoaster of ups & downs lately so hopefully when life slows down, I will post & be back on! Until then feel free to message me new post theme ideas since I would like to grow my list of ideas & hear what my followers want to see! I love y’all so much & I can’t wait to come back whenever that will be!

♕ The Duchess keeps the Tiara in her bedside table.
