For something more permanent, Nakeesha Franklin of Bonded by BRZN Beauties stunned us with her permanent jewelry collection. Yes, that's right—jewelry soldered directly onto your skin! But for the faint of heart, there's always the classic clasp option. Who knew bling could be so cutting-edge?

And let's not forget the tasty addition from everyone's favorite, Egger’s Ice Cream Parlor. Their panini ice cream sandwiches and classic sundae bar were the ultimate indulgence, making taste buds sing. 🍦
