GIFT GUIDE with THE SIS KISS - Jewelry

Click on < > to view the slideshow

Megan DiVincenzo started her career as a trial attorney, which seemed perfectly matched with her talkative, enthusiastic & dramatic nature. She thrived...until she didn’t. She found herself feeling depressed & anxious, and one day had a panic attack in court. She knew she had to make a change.

Thankfully, before Megan’s exit from law, Megan & her sister had started The Sis Kiss where they sold jewelry, accessories & clutches. It was the side hustle the sisters loved that blossomed from their personal need for more dainty bangles to fit their petite wrists. Friends became fans, and then customers!

Megan realized the side hustle wasn’t JUST a side hustle to her. Her passion, drama & desire had returned with every order & opportunity for growth with The Sis Kiss. After growing into the CEO role at The Sis Kiss she has never looked back. Designing, building a team & of course, all things shiny are her calling, passion, and purpose.

The Loss of Innocence - November 22, 1963

By: My "Papa Ed" DeRosa

November 22, 1963 was a dark day in American history. No matter what your politics were, the moment that President Kennedy was assassinated and murdered, we all lost our sense of innocence.

That day unleashed a path of tragic events that over the next several decades, has left us in a downward spiral of fear and distrust of our basic beliefs.

It is difficult to think of the loss of contributions that the music of John Lennon would have provided us with, or the success of social justice and racial equality in this country that Martin Luther King dreamed for us.

Many other events too numerous to mention have chipped away at the bedrock of our way of life.

The question before us is, do we continue to harvest the seeds of hate and distrust or do we look at the better angels in all of us to awaken a more mature and enlightened society?
