Holiday Gift Guide - 23 Women Gifts for the Beauty Lover - maximum $50.00

Hi There..... Are you in for a Holiday Gift Guide? How about some women gifts for the Beauty lover?

I know it still is pretty soon to buy your gifts maybe, but it's never too soon to give you inspiration on women gifts.

Pretty soon we will be in December, and with all this Corona craziness around us, it might be better to order your gifts on time. For all we know, this may not be over by the end of this year and we might not be in the possibility to go gift hunting as usual. 

That's why I made a Holiday gift guide already, so you will have more than enough time to order what you need.

I remember last year when I ordered a gift for my granddaughter and the package was delayed because so many people ordered at the same time. That was so stressful, and if you know me, you might know that I don't get stressed easily. 

I kept thinking, would I have to run to the store to go get something else or would my present still arrive in time. I was so relieved that they brought it to us just the day before Christmas. Can you imagine not having a present for a 3-year-old? She was way too young to understand.

So please, don't be an idiot like me and order your presents on time. And if you are stumped, just look at all these beautiful gifts in my Holiday gift guide for women who love to pamper themselves, and get some inspiration.

Ionic Body Brush $44.50

https://www.pranabrush.com/products/ionic-body-brush

Traditionally Handmade with Love
Ionic body brushes are handmade with pride by skilled artisans using traditional techniques. They have worked hard to produce a unique body brush, unparalleled in function, quality, and aesthetics. As a result, the brushes are of exceptional quality. They are proud to say that this may be the last body brush you buy!

Health Benefits:
Dry brushing has incredible health benefits and is widely recommended by health experts. Dry brushing detoxifies the body, improves circulation, eliminates dead skin cells, exfoliates the skin, improves skin tone, aids digestion, reduces and prevents cellulite, and increases energy and well-being. In addition, dry brushing stimulates the lymphatic system, which helps eliminate toxins and pathogens that can cause inflammation and illness.

Copper Bristles:
The health benefits of dry brushing are greatly enhanced through the use of an ionic body brush, which has its origin in ancient Ayurvedic practices. These ionic body brushes are made with extra-fine ion-charged copper bristles, which naturally create negative ions that protect your body from free radicals and have numerous other health benefits. In addition, the molecular composition of the unique bristles encourages the direct and immediate absorption of negative ions into your skin, which increases the benefits of dry brushing, including the speed of detoxification.

Premium Quality:
In addition to the health benefits, this ionic body brush (also commonly known as an ‘energy brush’ or a ‘copper wool brush’) is a beautiful work of art. Each brush is handmade from the highest quality and sustainably harvested beechwood, which is then beautifully smoothed and finished with natural wax. The ion-charged copper bristles are made from the highest-quality copper alloy. In addition, they feature an outer ring of bristles made from beautiful all-natural and ethically sourced boar hair.

How To Start A Fashion Blog

Hi There….. Are you in need of some blogging education? Would you like to know how to start a Fashion blog?

Ah, this must be your lucky day because I am going to tell you all about it. 😁

Fashion and Beauty blogs are popular. Both among readers and bloggers because with a successful Fashion or Beauty blog, you can earn money.

Not that gaining money is my goal, on the contrary, I haven’t earned a cent. All I seek is Fame and Fun, trying out the occasional new product, and most of all the fun I get from sharing my thoughts with you. 😃

But you may wonder, how do you start a Fashion blog? And most of all, how do you distinguish yourself from all those other wannabe Fashion bloggers, like I am? 😨

That’s why today I wanted to give you some advice on How to start a Fashion blog.

First, you need to know what topics to include. So that is the first question you have to ask yourself. Will you write about Fashion do’s and don’ts, personal Fashion preferences, Fashion tips like Haute couture news, or what people wear on the street? Or maybe you want to write about celebrities, speak your mind about their clothing? Or you never know, maybe you are interested in handmade Fashion and reviews just like me? 😲

At first, my goal was to promote my Etsy shop with handmade jewelry. I needed to close my shop, but the love for blogging grew on me, so I kept my blog running. In the beginning, I gave free blog posts to Etsy shops from the people I knew. Handmade is still very important to me because I have been a small shop owner. The reviewing part on my blog came to be a lot later because you need to build an audience at first. 


STEP 1

That’s why your first step to becoming a Fashion blogger is to answer this question: Why do you want to start a Fashion blog? Are you doing it to have fun or are you in it for the money?

STEP 2

What part of Fashion would you like to talk about? You need to narrow it down because you can’t talk about everything that happens in Fashion, that is practically impossible. Decide for yourself which subjects you want to write about.

Here are a few examples: Mom Fashion, Kid’s Fashion, Vintage Fashion, Curvy women Fashion, and so on.

Try to choose something that you have a link with and know a few things about, and try to stand out. Maybe it’s a good idea to check out some of your competitors? What do others write about? This may be a great blog to get some inspiration. https://www.whowhatwear.co.uk/

Defining this niche will make it easier for your readers to relate to you. They will know what to expect.

STEP 3

Think about a fitting name for your blog. Make it understandable, easy to spell, and something that people will remember. Google the name first to make sure nobody else is using it.

STEP 4

Who do you want to write for? What is your target audience? Are you writing for moms, businesswomen, pregnant women, men, a certain age group, people from a specific area on the map?

STEP 5

When you have answered those questions, it is time to think about the platform you want to use for your blog. Some great blogging platforms that offer free web hosting are WordPress.com, Tumblr.com, Typepad.com, and Blogger.com. If I am honest, I really don't know that much about the pro's and con's of these, so I am going to direct you to another site. https://www.bloggingbasics101.com/choosing-a-blogging-platform-quick-reference/

STEP 6

Make a cool look for your blog in order to stand out. Make sure your theme is suitable for the many photos and pictures you will post. No need to worry about this too much because you can always change it afterward.

STEP 7

Be sure to think thoroughly about your profile. It is important to present yourself well and let people know who you are. This makes it easier for your readers to relate to you. Pick a great profile picture and keep it up to date. Write an about page and let people know why you started your blog.

STEP 8

Time to write and get your blog post out there. Be consistent and publish at least one new blog post a week. It's all a question of how much time you have. Better to write one great post than to do 2 or 3 mediocre ones. Choose quality over quantity.

STEP 9

If you can and feel up to it, try to learn a bit about SEO before you write. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. Learning about SEO will make you rank higher in search engine results and generate traffic to your blog! 

STEP 10

Start publishing that post of yours on all your Social Media Channels. You can read my blog post on how to Promote your blog post. https://seadbeady.blogspot.com/2020/08/7-great-ways-to-promote-your-blog.html

STEP 11

Try to find some Influencer platforms that have opportunities for bloggers. If you decide you want to monetize your blog, get into affiliate marketing.

Remember, you are not the only fashion blogger out there, so try to stand out. Stick to your niche, idea, and don't suddenly change it overnight because that would confuse your followers. Use your unique style of voice and don't just copy others.

What are the Fall Fashion Trends for this year - part 2

Hi There..... How was your day yesterday? How about I give you some more insight on the Fall Fashion Trends for this Year?


First, let me tell you more about my yesterday before I dive into those Fall Fashion Trends. I had my 4-year-old granddaughter come over, so that’s always tiring but enjoyable. My body gives me more than enough warning signs that it needs some rest, but I just try to ignore my pain and enjoy those moments. Today I pay the price for crossing that line, but it’s more than worth it. 😀

She is an only kid, and I always feel sorry for her having nobody to play with. That’s why I always try to play with her as if I’m her playmate. What on earth are you thinking with your twisted mind? I am talking about some kind of school buddy, nothing more. 😂

What she likes the most is when I give voice to her toys, dolls, barbies, or handkerchiefs even. You would lose it if you saw me, but I don’t care about making a fool of myself as long as she loves it. The twinkle in her eyes says it all, and a happy granddaughter makes a happy grandmother.

I finally got to show her the fabric I bought to sew her a dress and am so glad she loved it, especially the fact that it had a lovely gold and silver glitter.



I know it’s quite dark, but this fall is a lot about a dark retro vibe. On a site called WMFJ, I found something regarding fashion that I just had to quote ‘Actually a fashion trend is like a wheel. It will rotate and there is always a repeat at every point. What is trending today will repeat itself in the future, for example in 30 or 40 years? Who knows?’. 

I have seen this happen more than once, and it always makes me smile. Thinking oh my, I remember wearing those kinds of things back when I was young. Yep, I'm old. 😁

For example, those big flower prints, plaids and tartans, fringes, leather jackets, and last but not least those leopard prints that have come back. I used to wear those big flower prints when I just got married and now they are all coming back. 

If I make it to 80, and am still writing, I might talk to you about seeing things come back for the second time. Darn, why didn’t I keep my clothes in a locker to get them out again after 30 or 40 years?

Just like in my previous blog post, I asked some other Fashion Bloggers for some fall outfits I could share with you. I am always curious to see what others have in their wardrobe? 

This first look is by Emily, who is from New York


The second one is by Lucy, who is from South Yorkshire

The third look for today is by Laura, who is from New York 


And last but not least Tatiana's look, who is from The Netherlands

So tell me, which is your favorite? Would you wear one of these looks?

If you are interested you can read the previous post I made on Fall/Winter Fashion Trends - https://seadbeady.blogspot.com/2020/10/what-are-fallwinter-trends-for-this-year.html

How to pamper yourself with an Exceptional Cup of Tea - Flora Tea - Tea Flower

Hi There..... Are you a tea drinker? Have you ever heard of a Tea Flower? Maybe you like to pamper yourself with an exceptional cup of tea?

I would be quite curious to know more about this tea flower for sure because I am an avid tea drinker. 😋

Coffee is just not my cup of tea. Isn’t that a marvelous quote? I can’t quote the author because he seems to be unknown. The only one that used to drink coffee at home, when I was a kid, was my mum. My dad was a real Anglophile, he loved everything from Great Britain, including the English language. From all of Great Britain, Wales was his favorite destination.

My first visit to Wales was when I was 5. If I remember it properly, it was in a house we rented together with our Aunt (my dad’s youngest sister), Uncle, and Niece. I may have been just 5 but I remember very well my first English words were ‘push please’. No, no, I’m no pushover, or am I? 😧

Perhaps someday I will tell you all about my trials and tribulations, just not today. All I wished was for them to push me on the swing in the house’s backyard. There were some local kids we used to play with, and they taught us our first English words. 😄

I have some fond memories of our visits to Welsh Castles, villages with authentic clothing from the Middle-Ages, and teahouses. What stuck most with me were the Welsh teahouses with their delicious scones and their very special glass of tea. If you come across one, just go inside, I bet you won’t regret it.

Can you understand my excitement when they accepted me to try out these amazing tea flowers from Flora Tea? 😃

I bet you haven't heard of Tea Flowers either. They come in 10 different flavors at the moment and you can pair those tea flavors with the most beautiful glass.

Flora Tea bases their teas on green tea leaves. They say green tea reduces nausea, pain, stress, and it helps to speed up the metabolism. It also reduces the negative effects of our LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and increases the effect of HDL (good cholesterol). 

If you ask me, you can't go wrong with green tea. My first experiment was their 'Jasmine with Love' - Green tea and Jasmine - Not sure if it was good for me because I almost got high. Haha, no, it was just the scent of Jasmine that was incredibly hard to resist. Far out my favorite of the 3 teas they chose for me to taste. It's such a delicate taste, and I loved it. 


Even though the process of this flower unfolding was fairly simple in comparison with the other 2, it was by far the prettiest result, if you ask me. 

My second experiment was the 'Summer Love' - Green Tea, Carnation, and Osmanthus - it was fascinating to watch this flower open up. You could compare it to a fast-paced video of a blooming flower. Let me show you some pictures I took during the process. 😊





Amazing, Isn't it? I would however recommend using more water than I did because mine was too strong first but nothing a bit of extra water couldn't fix. Rookie mistake, haha, we learn by trial and error. Hey, I never said I was perfect. 😁 

The tea was truly enjoyable too, and it lingered on my tongue for the longest time. 

The last one I got to try was their Flying Snow - Green Tea, Marigold, and Coconut Fruit Fiber - This one was amazing to watch too but I am sorry to say it was not my cup of tea. A bit too bitter for me, but just a hint of bitterness can be too much for me, so for all I know, this could be your favorite. 

If you are interested in tasting them you need to know that these products are exclusive and only available at Flora Tea. There are some other interesting facts too about this shop. 😮

The individual tea leaves are hand-tied with the selected dried aromatic flowers to form a ball. They only use the best tea leaves from the first harvest on the plantations in China and Japan. 

Their tea flowers won the Great Taste Awards, a prestigious gastronomic event held annually in the UK.

In recent years, the entire collection has been awarded, and some received the highest rating of 3 stars.

They also awarded them at The International Taste Institute in Brussels with the Superior Taste Award. 

Impressive, Isn't it?
