Joseph Nogucci Patronus Charmballa Bracelet

As fans of Wizarding World, we can’t wait to visit Universal Studios Orlando to experience Diagon Alley! In the meantime, Little Miss Techie is sporting a limited edition Patronus Charmballa Bracelet ($49 but on sale for $29 until the end of the month!) by Joseph Nogucci to show her love of Harry Potter. This gorgeous bracelet is inspired by the Harry Potter series and each charm that is strung on the stunning black nylon cord references something in the story.

The Patronus Bracelet features:

  • The symbol of the three brothers to protect and bring strength
  • Ruby red crystals to represent the Philosopher’s Stone
  • Green-eyed silver owl charms to symbolize Hedwig and Pigwidgeon, two favorite owls in the series
  • Black beads with silver stars to remind us of the Invisibility Cloak
  • A sparkly golden crystal shamballa with silver dangling wings to represent the fast and elusive game-winning Snitch
  • A lightning bolt on a rectangular silver charm bearing the designer’s name reminds us of the Boy Who Lived

Stunning on it’s own or stacked among other favorite bracelets, the Patronus Charmballa Bracelet is a fun a special keepsake for any Harry Potter fan. It’s a conversation starter and provides inspiration to go back and re-read the books as you look at the symbols and recall favorite parts of Harry’s time at Hogwarts.

Joseph Nogucci’s Patronus Charmballa Bracelet is available until the end of the month at the special price of $29 with free shipping. The bracelet does sell out, even at it’s regular price at $49! It was a hot holiday seller that just recently came back into stock!

I received a Patronus Charmball Bracelet for review. All opinions are my own and no compensation was received for this post.

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop
After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I’m leaving Memphis so very grateful to be able to support St. Jude’s mission of working to end childhood cancer. ❤️ Spending time connecting, brainstorming, and absorbing the wisdom of fellow Hero Ambassadors from around the country was inspiring because the work we do fundraising through our endurance events helps St. Jude do the incredible work they do to ensure families never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, travel, or food and continue important research that will continue to reduce rates of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me! I’d love to have you come to Memphis and run with me! Or you can always donate through the fundraising link in my bio. ❤️ #stjude #stjudeheroes #memphis #stjudedmv

As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the me As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the mental health challenges our youth face and am really pleased to share that over the weekend I became certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing! 🎉 I’ve always worked to build relationships with the young people in my life- whether my kids’ friends or students- and this certification has made me more mindful of the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges so I can have important and supportive conversations when symptoms first start to appear. 🗣️A big component of the training also included developing a self-care plan which is critical when supporting others. 💕 I’m so grateful to have taken this certification for free through the University of Maryland whose blended learning format (2 hours of self paced online work + 5 hour instructor led class over Zoom) was fantastic! 💻 The teacher in me really applauds the course design and I’m glad to join the 3 million+ in the U.S. certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. 🏥 If this is something you’re interested in doing, University of Maryland has free courses on Saturdays or Sundays from 10-4pm between June-October. Swipe ⬅️ for more information, including a QR code with more information and a survey to take as part of the sign up process. And if you have any questions- leave a comment or DM me. I’m happy to help you get certified too! ❤️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthfirstaid #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
