Tungsten CTR Rings?

By Jen

So have you heard of rings made of tungsten? Tungsten wedding bands are a new trend because tungsten is so durable. They're known as "permanently polished" rings because tungsten rings will hold their shine (as well as shape) longer than any other ring on the market due to tungsten's extreme hardness- almost as hard as diamond.

Now they're making tungsten CTR rings- and I recently got one. (CTR stands for "Choose the Right" among Mormons.) The CTR logo is laser engraved right onto the ring. Now I already own a CTR ring made of sterling silver that I've had for many years, but it always looks tarnished and dingy (and I don't have the time to polish it) so I never wear it. The tungsten rings are much cheaper than gold and only cost slightly more than sterling silver.

When I received my tungsten CTR ring in the mail I was surprised how solid and heavy it was. It feels very smooth so it doesn't bother my finger. It's polished and shiny... and it's nice to know it will stay that way (considering my 14K Gold wedding ring is already scratched up and some of it's raised designs have worn off).

The CTR ring I got was from Tungsten CTR Rings where they have several ring styles to choose from. Every order gets free shipping, and if you order by March 7th 2010 they're offering $5.00 off your order- just use the coupon code "jenmagazine".

Keeping Tabs on Tabeez Modest Apparel

By Jen


Tabeez is a modesty-focused clothing company with boutiques in New Jersey and New York, and last year they launched an online store. Since then, their online offerings have grown to include a huge selection of modest clothing (tops, skirts, dresses, suits and outerwear) and extras like accessories, shoes, skincare and makeup. It looks like they have many exclusive styles as well as designer pieces from Jones New York, BCBG Max Azria, Essentials by A.B.S. and more. They do stock plus sizes, which is a concern for many women looking for modest clothes.

Right now they have 70% off all summer items and shoes. I found several things under $10 in their clearance section. They also have free shipping on all orders of $99 dollars and up.

We were able to get you an exclusive coupon: 15% off when you enter promo code "JenMag" at Tabeez.com (good 'til Sept. 30th 2009)!

Tabeez has a Facebook fan page and you can follow them on twitter- @tabeez.
