This month, I celebrate not only a birthday, but the anniversary of going full-time with Footprints in Pixie Dust. It has been an amazing year – one filled with adventure, treasured memories, excitement, friendship and personal reward. I’ve learned so much about myself and others and have had the opportunity to see my stories and our family’s experiences impact others in a positive way. Sounds like a cause to celebrate – right? Well, I found the perfect way to honor my own special moments by adding a beautiful wood watch from JORD to my personal accessories collection.

This is a partnered post with JORD Watches, who provided me with my own personal watch for review. All opinions, however, are 100% mine and mine alone. This post also contains affiliate links. Please see my Disclosure policy for more information.
Celebrating Special Moments in Life
Over the past twelve months, I’ve watched numbers climb and exposure increase. At the same time, and more importantly, I’ve watched my connections strengthened and my purpose solidified. I realized I had a story to tell that others wanted to hear and, in turn, I wanted to hear theirs so that we could build a community and support each other. Whether it was a family issue, a positive food allergy experience, a place we visited or a movie we watched, so many people found a way to relate and engage ~ THAT is what has made the hard work worth every second.
And now, with one year down, I cannot WAIT to see what transpires in the next!
FINDING A WAY TO MARK THE OCCASION
Since the anniversary does coincide with my birthday (which was actually very intentional, by the way), I felt that something special needed to be done to properly commemorate the occasion and accomplishments.
Just as I was beginning to think about what would make me smile or be the perfect acknowledgement, JORD Watches contacted me and wanted to work together.
JORD WOODEN WATCHES
Jord (pronounced Yode…like Yoda without the a) is a St. Louis based company that designs creative and unique wood watches. They use the finest of materials, including such woods as acai, maple, olive, walnut and ebony, and custom fit every piece to its new owner.

When I received my Cora Kora & Rose Gold watch, I fell in love with it instantly. The rose colored face is stunningly beautiful with small embedded jewels that simply add a touch of elegance. The band, made with the finest grained golden koa wood with rich rose tones, is the perfect blend of minimalist and elegance for me. Its hue truly reminds me of the beauty a summer sunset.
Delivered in Style
The watch arrived in a gorgeous cedar humidor box (free with purchase) and was nestled on a small pillow inside the piece of wooden art. Accompanying the watch was a cleaning cloth and a six month supply of JORD Preserve in the form of an applicator pen. I love that the box also has a drawer at the bottom that slides out with ease and can hold the applicator pen or any other piece of jewelry that I feel may accompany my watch best.

Versatility at its finest
JORD wood watches stand out in terms of quality, craftsmanship and style. These are eye-catching and unique pieces that can be worn daily. They can dress up an outfit or simply add a touch of class on an otherwise casual day.
My particular watch, the Cora Koa & Rose Gold, complements a vast portion of my wardrobe, allowing me to wear it to church, to the theater, to press conferences or on a simple date with Hubby.
Each watch also comes with a one year warranty and options for return & exchange. If you want to add a personal touch, most watch backplates can be engraved, as can the cedar humidor boxes in which they are delivered. Some watches even be further customized – such as mixing and matching wood and faces! I love the versatility!!!
JORD also offers free worldwide shipping!

I mean, isn’t this watch exquisite? I bet it would look stunning on anyone’s wrist. If not this particular selection, perhaps another design would better suit your style (check out the site for their latest designs). JORD carries both Men’s and Women’s watches and will custom fit the watch to your wrist by using a measurement tool that can be found right on their website (and it works!! Trust me!!).
