Femmes With Benefits is a blog that I have been following for a while. These women are amazing. They are all about being independent and goal oriented. So naturally being the ambitious beautiful women that they are, they have launched their own online store. The “Goal Diggers” necklaces are the first items on the online store. One necklace says “Goal Diggers Grind Harder” and the other necklace says “Goal Diggers Dig Deeper”.
