Best Tips on where to find Sustainable Jewelry - BeKoffee Handmade Jewelry

Hi There..... Do you like coffee, handmade jewelry, or both of them? What about sustainable jewelry?

I love handmade jewelry but never drink coffee..... But I can't say I dislike coffee..... At least not anymore 😁

Am I talking in riddles..... Great, that was my intention.....  But riddles are there to be solved..... Right 😄

But first things first..... I want to tell you about the surprise I got just 2 days ago..... I received a package in the mail..... Don't you just love surprises..... I do so I was pretty curious to find out what was inside..... But as we always do nowadays because of the virus..... Just to be safe..... We get the mail or packages from the postman and leave them to rest for a day..... Did you know that the virus can survive up to 24 hours on cardboard? 😟

So yesterday I unpacked my surprise..... And my excitement grew even more..... Ok, there is no way around it..... I just have to show you why..... One part of the surprise to pique your curiosity 😋

You got to see more than I did when I opened the box..... This is what I saw..... A box filled with a lot of burlap bags 😉

So I unpacked a little further and laid all those cute little bags out in front of me 😃

That's quite a collection..... Right..... Wouldn't you love to get a surprise package filled with handmade jewelry like that..... I am sure you do..... So I am not gonna keep you in suspense any longer..... It was a gift from BeKoffee 😍

I can hear you thinking..... Yes, I do..... I have a sixth sense..... It picks up vibes from miles away..... You are thinking 'What is this BeKoffee that I have never heard about'.... Am I right..... Or am I right 😂

It's a Portuguese brand of handmade jewelry and other fashion accessories that are made of coffee grounds..... No not ground coffee of course..... But the waste product from brewing coffee..... This way they contribute in a positive way to the economy..... Calling for less waste by giving a new meaning to coffee grounds..... I just love that so many people are trying to make us more aware of our ecological footprint 😊

And there is more..... Their handmade jewelry is inspired by nature and human activity too..... Inspired by Portugal and the best it has to offer..... With cultural details from the North to the South of Portugal and their islands..... I know you are on the edge of your seat now..... Curious to see what was in all those other cute little bags  😁

That was an extra gift from them..... A piece of exfoliating soap of ground coffee..... Haven't tried it out yet but it won't be long before I do 😀

The 2 above are souvenirs..... They could be a great reminder of a trip to Portugal..... I do plan to go there one day..... Not too far away from Belgium and they have a Mediterranean climate..... Just perfect if you ask me 😄

Now, don't you be mean and ask me what I like most..... I really wouldn't know which one to choose and I actually don't have to either..... So many beautiful pieces but I am only writing one blog post..... Am I being mean myself maybe..... No worries..... That's not me..... You will be seeing a lot of those pieces pass by on my Instagram account..... And I will be tagging them too so you can easily find their Instagram..... First one will be in a few hours from now 😊

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

Great tips for shopping based on zero waste concept

Hi There..... Do you feel safe?

I have to say..... I don't feel that safe..... Not as much as I used too..... Before this crazy virus came into our lives..... Who knew that it would have such an impact on our lives 😟

Things were getting brighter here in Belgium..... But in the last few days, the number of infected people has been going up again..... I really don't want to have to go in lockdown again..... Some people don't seem to take the rules serious and I really don't get that..... Maybe it's me that's crazy but as Kevin Spacey said 'Sometimes it's the crazy people who turn out to be not so crazy' 😁

Although they did tweak the rules somewhat over here..... You now have to wear your mask in every shop, mall, supermarket, musea, library,..... Practically everywhere inside..... So I was pretty stoked to receive this gorgeous mask from MagicDesignbyElyssa 😄

Pretty fashionable right..... Aha you are jealous now, aren't you..... I bet you would like to know all about this shop..... No worries, I am not gonna keep it to myself 😃

https://www.etsy.com/nl/listing/787478424

Here's a side view from the mask..... It feels really comfortable and it even comes with an activated carbon filter..... And I think it's so very pretty..... If I have to wear a mask I would rather have one like this than a plain and boring white mask..... Although not the best idea if I would want to rob a store maybe..... They might recognize my mask in an instant 😎

Elyssa's Etsy shop is built on zero waste concept..... Sounds great right..... But what does it mean..... This is what Wikipedia says about it..... The conservation of all resources by means of responsible production, consumption, reuse, and recovery of all products, packaging, and materials, without burning them, and without discharges to land, water, or air that threaten the environment or human health..... I know you might have to read it twice to fully understand..... But I think that's quite cool and really admirable 😍

They hand create their items custom made..... they have designer printed T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, face mask and all kinds of other things..... Let me show you a selection of some of the things you can find in her shop 😄

Sunglasses 100% UVA and UVB protection

By the way if you would like to more about her masks..... Just read her blog post about it

Tips on Great Skin Care Products from Kneipp

Hi There..... Are you going crazy?

I got you with a weird question again..... Why would I ask something like that..... It's just that I am going a bit crazy from this constant hand washing 😵

But on the other hand..... Better safe than sorry..... Getting this ugly Coronavirus is not an option..... Right 😃

So you can imagine my enthusiasm when I was asked to try out a new hand cream and cream shower from Kneipp..... Now don't tell me you have never heard of Kneipp..... But that's not such a big problem..... As Loretta Young said 'What you don't know intrigues you more than what you do know'  😉

So let me tell you some more about Kneipp in general..... It's never too late to learn something new..... Their products are developed under the guidance of experienced scientist and they work in close collaboration with internationally renowned academic institutions 😄 

Did you know that..... I actually didn't know myself but I do know their products are great quality 😊 

And do you know what is also great about their products..... That thanks to special methods, they do not need to use preservatives in their products..... And this way we know that if we use them our natural skin flora is protected and the environment at the same time..... That's pretty cool if you ask me 😎

Ok..... that's enough of the chit chat..... You can always find out more about Kneipp when you click here..... I know you are anxious to know about this cherry blossom range 😃

I was already pleasantly surprised by their look as I opened the box..... So let's start with the hand cream..... What do they say about their product..... The caring vegetable formula of the Kneipp Cherry Blossom Hand Cream, with valuable cherry blossom extract, intensively moisturizes the hands..... And you can use it every day as much as you need it 😊

https://www.kneipp.com/nl_nl/producten/handcreme-cherry-blossom

Ah, of course, you would like to know my opinion about it..... Really? Cool..... During this period of Corona, I noticed that my hands felt much drier than usual due to the washing..... That's why I was so very happy with this hand cream..... The cherry blossom smells delicious, I could spread it evenly and my hands were nice and soft afterward...... It was the first time that I tried a Kneipp product and I am definitely going to buy this cream again 😍

I am so sorry..... I can't say anything bad about it..... Actually, I can but then I would be telling you a lie.... And if there is one thing I am not it's a liar 😇

Now that I got that off my chest we can go on to the next..... The cream shower..... What do they say about it..... Treat yourself with the soap-free cream shower Kneipp® Cherry Blossom...... The nourishing cream shower with cherry seed oil and cherry blossom extract pampers your senses and gives your skin a wonderfully soft feeling..... A soft floral fragrance to always have a spring feeling 😄

The cherry kernel oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants and promotes the natural production of collagen..... The cherry blossom extract has a calming effect on the skin and pampers your senses with a seductive soft fragrance..... All in all, the perfect combination that gives your skin a wonderfully soft feeling..... Sounds fantastic..... Doesn't it..... And on top of that, it's a creamy PEG-free and sulfate-free formula 😃

https://www.kneipp.com/nl_nl/producten/creme-douche-cherry-blossom

Hey..... Wait..... What about meee..... Don't tell me you don't want to know about my being in the shower 😋

It actually felt a bit weird when I put this cream shower on my hand..... I was thinking it was so soft..... The softest product that I ever used in the shower..... So I was really curious if it was gonna give me a clean feeling..... And surprisingly it did.....And as I told you before I am really fond of this cherry blossom fragrance..... But the smell wasn't overpowering..... Which in my opinion is a good thing..... It didn't really foam very much but my skin immediately felt nice and soft afterward..... I didn't even have to use my body lotion that evening before I went to bed 😁

All's well that ends well..... And if you now feel the urge to go buy some of their products...... There is only one thing I can say about that..... Go for it..... Nope, no Affiliate links here..... Nothing to gain for me..... Just my honest opinion 😍

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

Where can I find some stunning handmade earrings

Hi There..... Do you like jewelry?

What a stupid question..... Right..... Who doesn't like jewelry..... I suppose there will be some people who don't but most of us do 😃

Ok..... I have another question for you..... Do you like handmade?

I do..... I am a big fan of all kinds of handmade items and as some of you know I am very creative myself..... There are a lot of good reasons I could mention why you should choose handmade over machine made..... It's a labor of love..... Every piece is unique..... The artist will be thrilled when you choose to buy from him or her..... I could go on naming reasons for hours but there's a good chance you could fall asleep reading..... And I still have a lot to tell you 😄

But first I wanted to show off these earrings I received from Curpic..... Gorgeous..... Right..... No, I wasn't talking about myself but about the earrings of course 😀

I know that you probably haven't heard that name before..... It's Susana's Etsy shop from Ireland..... She is inspired mostly by nature and animals..... She likes to create special things and her main goal is to make her customers happy..... What more could you want 😃

And it wasn't just the earrings but also the way they were packed..... In a beautiful white box

They could be the perfect gift for someone..... A Christmas gift maybe..... What? Too soon..... Ok, that may be just a tiny bit too soon..... But as Franz Liszt said 'Beware of missing chances..... Otherwise, it may be altogether too late someday'  😍

But before you decide to buy these..... Let me show you some of the other beautiful handmade items she has in her shop 😃

Mint green natural granite summer earrings

Handmade autumn earrings, burgundy flower

Autumn Leaf necklace - Woodland Autumn Fall leaf necklace

Blue moon and white leaf pattern earrings

RHEA shell fan polymer clay sea earring

Where to find some cool handmade sunglasses for this summer

Hi There..... Do you like to wear sunglasses?

I actually can hardly do without when I am driving..... Although I don't really wear them that much otherwise 😊

But tell me..... Did you know that today is National Sunglasses Day..... I didn't know either.....  Haha..... I just saw it on my special calendar 😀

Of course..... You want to know where this is coming from..... Well, at least I do..... So if you don't..... You are out of luck..... I am gonna tell you anyhow 😋

It's about celebrating the importance of wearing ultraviolet protective Sunwear and eyewear..... This celebration dates as far back as the 14th century..... In China judges used eyewear made of smoke-colored quartz to mask their emotions..... If you want to know more about this day you can read about it here..... https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/sunglasses-day/

Eyes are indeed a huge tell..... But I think they had better wear a mask then..... Your whole face can tell others how you are feeling if you ask me 😁

I did read there also that it's actually more important to wear sunglasses than we think..... It seems that these UV rays can inflict serious damage to your vision..... I think it's high time to buy me some better sunglasses...... I do have a pair lying around here..... But they are ancient..... I tried them on again last week but it makes me look like a piece of antique 😂

Well, I guess you know me..... And I wouldn't be me if I wasn't gonna share some of my finds of handmade sunglasses on Etsy with you 😍

What we love to do at Blankenberge

Hi There.....Do you like to be at the seaside?

I just love it..... I love everything about the sea..... Walking towards the Pier..... Having a cool drink on a terras..... Shopping at the seafront..... Enjoying a game of miniature golf..... Even though I almost always lose..... Enjoying dinner with a view on the beach and the sea..... Watching the sun go down into the Ocean in the evening 😊

And I can say we had it all the last couple of days at Blankenberge..... Just about a bit more than an hour drive but still, we decided to stay in a hotel before the summer rush starts 😌

We have the luxury of having 2 grown-up kids so there is nothing to keep us from taking a short break before everyone else does 😂

And you bet that I wanted to share it with you..... Making everyone a bit envious..... Even though we didn't venture far..... No, I am just sharing because I was able to take some wonderful shots of mother nature..... And I wouldn't want to deprive you of the pleasure of looking at these shots of mine 😇

Time to show you those crazy beautiful shots of mine..... A little exaggeration never hurt anyone 😉

I don't know why but I am a sucker for sunsets on the beach 🙃

And this seagull was so nice to pose for us on the pier

So I thought..... If this seagull can do it..... So can I 😁

And I just had to have a picture in front of those beautiful rose bushes at the miniature golf..... My hair all messed up by the wind 😄

And how about these lovely flower bushes..... The Bees were fans of them for sure..... Just don't ask me any names 🙂

And this beautiful flower bed right next to the miniature golf court..... Irresistible..... Right 😊

Well..... Was I exaggerating..... Or not 😚

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day
