About and Privacy Policy

I am Blogger, Influencer, and my niche is Fashion and Beauty.

I am very creative and owned an Etsy shop for a while with my own handmade jewelry. To promote this shop, I started blogging in 2017 by reviewing other people’s Etsy shops.

Health issues forced me to close my Etsy shop, but the love for blogging grew on me so I kept my blog running.

I have worked with several shops in the Fashion and Beauty space, including campaigns on Influencer platforms. I focus mainly on reviews, fashion, and beauty, but I always infuse my blog post with parts of my personality.

I would love to review an item of yours and write about it. Naturally, that would include giving more info on your shop on my blog too.

I live in Belgium but write my blog in English to reach a more international audience.

I share my blog post on Instagram - Twitter - Pinterest and Pinterest group boards - Facebook and in different Facebook groups

If you would like to know more, please just ask.

Looking forward to hearing from you

Confessions of a Seadbeadaholic - part 1

Yes, I confess I am a Seed Bead Aholic. I really can't keep away from them. They call me to say please, oh please work with me. And that's when I cave in. I just can't resist those little buggers.

I must say it hasn't always been that way. It all started in 2007 if I remember correctly. I was having a lot of problems with my knee and needed to have surgery for it. I had been going to the music academy to learn how to play the piano for 4 years and was taking singing lessons at the same time. At the same time, I was a singer in a band, called The Lemon Sweets. You could say my weeks were pretty packed. And there was my job of course, and not to forget my husband and 2 children. Yes, right almost forgot a cat and a dog as well.

So because of the knee surgery, I couldn't start my next school year for my music lessons. And on top of that, the singing group fell apart, because some members wanted to do different things. For a long time, I was kinda lost. Not knowing what to do with my spare time. I joined a choir so that I could keep on singing. That's when I started having more and more problems with my back as well. At the same time, I needed surgery on my sinus to treat my chronic sinusitis problem. The next month I needed surgery again. This time they had to remove my gallbladder due to stones. And the next month, I assure you I'm telling the (painful) truth; I needed to have arthroscopic hip surgery. If I wasn't the lucky one. On top of that, please don't ask me how I did it, I got a frozen shoulder. So I had been absent from work for almost a year.

Since I was still having a lot of problems with my back, I started work part-time. That's when I discovered the art of beading. I will tell you more about how I started beading in my next blog.

Hope you enjoyed reading .....until next time
