Omi Privé Online Scavenger Hunt Giveaway: Ends June 30
On Wednesday we reported on Omi Privé’s new website and jewelry giveaway of a tanzanite and rose gold necklace (pictured above). Billed as a scavenger hunt, the giveaway is more like a trivia contest wherein “cheating” is allowed—the answers can all be found within in the new website’s content. Sign up and get your answers in by June 30. One winning entrant will be chosen at random, and Omi Privé will also make a donation to the Art Smith Memorial Scholarship Fund in the winner’s name.

Say I Do on Netflix: Premieres July 1
We heard about the debut of this new Netflix show from the team at Tacori, so that tells us that there will be rings in blue boxes. That’s about all we know at this point, so you’ll have to tune in to find out more. The premise, according to Netflix: “Couples overcome obstacles to celebrate their love in surprise dream weddings designed by three experts in less than a week.” If the streaming network’s Love Is Blind, which a few of you may have binged during quarantine, is any indication, Say I Do definitely has the potential to become your new wedding reality show addiction.
