Tips on Where to Find Handmade Jewelry - No More Boring Jewellery - Polymer Clay Jewelry

Hi There..... Are you a fan of handmade jewelry? Have you ever worn polymer clay jewelry?

I have made polymer clay jewelry too, and I can make the most magnificent pieces with clay. Haha, got you fooled there now, didn't I? 😁

The devil in me is always present, lurking in the dark. Ah yes, talking about the dark. Yesterday the power went out. I was watching The Voice, one of my favorite shows. How could they do this to me? 😭

It was about 10 in the evening, so it was pretty dark already. My cell phone is always right next to me, so I put on the flashlight app. We went to the front door, and it seemed the entire block was in the dark, not just us. 😨

There were people all over the street talking to each other about what could have happened. I ran out into the street to hurry to pick in on their conversation. Nah, of course not. That’s not me. 😂

I don't know what happened, but so glad all the lights came back on at about half-past 11. It took the internet providers about an hour longer to get everything back into the rails, so we watched a DVD of Mission Impossible. Sorry to say, Tom Cruise is not my favorite actor at all. 😬

Are you kidding, he is one of the all-time greatest actors if you ask me? It was almost 1 in the morning as we were only halfway, so I went to bed. To sleep, of course. 😏

All this has entirely nothing to do with my blog post today. Except that it’s also about something I really love. Jewelry, but not just any. It’s about handmade jewelry from No More Boring Jewellery. 😍


About the artist and her relationship to Art?

Sofia, the 25-year-old maker behind this shop, was raised in Crete, a Greek island. Living with her grandparents, she learned a lot from her grandmother's creativity. She was always busy with things like knitting, painting, and jewelry making. That's where Sofia got her inspiration from.

Her eye for detail is something she inherited from her father. As a young girl she absolutely loved to do realistic portrait drawing, and friends and family would give her lots of commission to draw their pictures. 

Once she started university and later on work, she didn't have the energy to do anything remotely creative. This all changed because of a call from her grandmother who said 'You should always be drawing'. She kept repeating this several times during the call, and it kinda stuck to her.

Sofia kept contemplating, and it took her a couple of weeks to give in again to her creativity.

Why jewelry?

Being stressed with time, she wondered if there wasn't a better way to express her creativity. A portrait drawing on general took her about 7 hours to finish. She felt there surely had to be a way to save time and also reach more women. 

Simple maths brought her to jewelry making. Polymer clay jewelry is something people can wear every day. Her goal is to offer small art pieces, not just simple pieces of jewelry. 

That's how the name No More Boring Jewelry came to be. She designs every piece after hours of prototyping so that it gives a unique vibe and allows the customers to express their creativity.

Plans for the future?

Her goal is to keep creating unique and limited pieces. This is how a new idea came to life. She plans to launch monthly themed boxes with a few handmade jewelry pieces. Every month, there will be a completely new offering on her website. 

The boxes will contain leaflets explaining the inspiration for the pieces, the original hand-drawn design and some facts about the particular theme. There will be custom-made boxes based on the theme. The different sizes of boxes will range from £15 - £70 pounds.

What did I think?

Her designs are so intricate and detailed. I used to make polymer clay beads a very long time ago. She makes it all look so easy, but it's definitely not. 



Sofia chose these for me, and I wasn't expecting them to look that good on me, but they do. At least I think so. In the past, I have always shied away from larger earrings, thinking they would not be for me. That proves I too can be wrong. 



This is also one that Sofia chose for me. They may look heavy, but her pieces are so very delicate and thin, which makes them a lot lighter than you would expect. I would advise you to store them separately, though, because of their delicate nature. 



This was my favorite pair of earrings from her shop. I immediately fell in love with the raindrop shape of these lovely polymer clay earrings. Her pieces are not the most obvious color combinations, but they all work perfectly together.



I am so glad she also added this one to my package because it is stunning. I love the little extra heart on the side, which makes it so special and out of the ordinary. 

You should check out her Instagram profile
https://www.instagram.com/nomoreboringjewellery/ and look at all the wonderful polymer clay jewelry pieces and the fun videos she makes. 

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

Helpful tips for taking selfies - The Gigi Cosmetics - Selfie Ring Light

Hi There..... Is taking selfies something you like to do? Would  you like to learn more about using a selfie ring light? Are you in the dark about what equipment you could use to enhance your selfies?

If you are an influencer, taking selfies is something you probably do more often. Let's hope you are not addicted to it. And yes, there is such a thing as being addicted to taking selfies. 😎

I read on nbcnews that the Nottingham Trent University study established the Selfitis Behavior Scale as an instrument for assessing Selfie addiction. Borderline: Taking at least 3 selfies a day without posting them on social media. Acute: Taking and posting (on social media) at least 3 selfies a day. Chronic: Unable to resist the urge to take selfies “around the clock” and post at least 6 of those photos per day. 😲

Go on, tell me, how many do you post? Perhaps you are exactly like I said, somewhat in the dark about what equipment to use. I wonder if that's a good or a bad thing? What if I tell you more about this selfie ring light? Will you hold me responsible for your addiction, afterward? 😁

I found a great quote by Svetlana Alexievich to help me solve this puzzle. Showing just the dark side doesn't always work. The important thing is to show what we can learn from dark things, what good we find there. 😊

As a kid, I was so afraid of the dark. Both my sisters knew that too well, and they made good use of it when playing hide and seek in the house. They often hid in the basement, because they knew I wouldn't come searching for them down there. 😢

Aha, for them, it was a good thing. Not that great for me, though. Although, from time to time I gathered all my courage and still went in that basement. This way I gradually overcame my fear. Ok, not completely, but still. 😄

That means there must be truth in this quote, and I can go on with my blog post about this Selfie Ring Light, I received from The Gigi Cosmetics in return for my honest opinion. 😍


The package contained the ring light with a power cord with a switch that ends in a USB plug, and it also contained a rotation head. The light diameter is 16 cm (6 inches). It has 3 adjustable color temperatures and 10 brightness options for each temperature mode.

How to use the light

The ring light is powered by USB, which is perfectly compatible with various devices like a PC, laptop, and power bank, allowing you to have a comfortable experience during use. 

The buttons on the power cord are used to easily turn the power on and off and switch to the lighting mode and brightness level you need.

What to use it for 

It will come in handy whenever you need extra light with multi-functions. It is light and compact, so you can take it anywhere you want. Connect it to a tripod to free your hands for study, live stream, makeup, taking photos, making videos, selfies.

What did I think about it?

I tried it out in one of the darkest rooms in our house. If you plug it in, the on/off switch lights up blue, which I found super handy. The different colors and brightness levels make it easy to get the right mood you want for your picture or film. To show you, I made a series of pictures. 

Levels of brightness

The first one was without the light, and then gradually turning it to a brighter level.


Do you know how hard it is to hold your head in the same position and pull the same face each time. 😏

I wanted to show you the difference in how the light reflects on different angles of your face. There is already a considerable difference, with or without the light. I also placed my number one next to the 10 again, so that you can see that there is a significant difference between the first and the last picture.

Color Temperature

There are the 3 color temperatures you can play with. I am only showing them on the brightest levels, but for each color, you can also adjust the brightness 10 times. 


The left picture is the white light. In the middle, I switched to a warmer hue. Then the picture on the right is a cooler hue. If you can count, you know that there are 30 different levels on this ring light, so enough to play with. 😀

It may not have a light stand or a tripod, but why would you buy those if you already have them, and that makes this light very affordable. 😍

The next thing I need now is a Bluetooth selfie clicker so that I can take splendid pictures without having to bother someone else.  😄

Where to find Sexy Women Clothing - Livebetter - Women's Lingerie

Hi There ..... Do you like sexy women clothing? Does Women's Lingerie have to be feminine and chic for you, with possibly some lace?

Yes, right? Which woman doesn't want to look sexy or maybe a little provocative? That is certainly allowed and our partners love women's lingerie, or at least most of them. 😉

I remember the days before my wedding. It feels like ages ago because we will have been married for 35 years in a few weeks from now. My mom said that we still needed to go to the store, but I didn't know what store she had in mind. 😦

We were pretty close, so an opportunity to go shopping together was always fun. She took me to a lingerie shop. Oh, I thought, ok I suppose a lovely bra wouldn't look bad on my wedding night. But she didn't just let me buy a bra, but also a garter just for some extra decoration. Well yes for me, the decoration was not for the Christmas Tree. 😁

You can't blame a girl for wanting to look good on her wedding day, Can you? When the big day came, we had lots to do. First a small reception at our home. From there on we stepped into the white Rolls Royce limousine they had rented for us. I remember all the people we passed in the streets staring at us. 😄 

A bit later we arrived at the church for the actual wedding ceremony. I know, I told you I am not that much of a catholic, but my mother-in-law was very religious. It was her dream, so why wouldn't we let it come true. It was very romantic, so no regrets. 😊

After the church, we went to our mother-in-law's home for a reception. There were so many friends of ours that were invited that the reception was over before we knew it. 😯

Off we were again in our Rolls Royce Limousine to Iepenburg, a large domain with a playground and a park. We had planned to take some pictures over there in the park. Pity, it started raining halfway, but we managed to get a few stunning pictures. 😍

Then there was the wedding dinner and the party where we danced until 2 in the morning. We had such a wonderful time, and almost the entire evening had been filmed. That reminds me, we still need to have it transferred from a video to a blue ray or cd. 😊

Guess what happened with the sexy lingerie. Sorry to disappoint you, but we were so tired we didn't think about anything anymore, except sleep. The lingerie did its job, but just not on our Wedding night. 😴

How about you? Are you interested in sensual lingerie? Ah, then I have just the thing for you. Livebetter has some super sexy kimonos. 


But where do you actually wear such a kimono? Obviously, it is not intended to be worn like the traditional Japanese at weddings or a traditional tea ceremony. That would make some heads turn, haha. 😂

You could wear it when you just get out of bed and you go out to eat a biscuit on the terrace. Maybe you like to use it just before going to bed in combination with a pair of nice heels or boots, and I don't mean just going to sleep. But to accentuate your super feminine curves and get your partner in the right mood. 😜


If you want, you can wear it over your nightgown or your body. Then you don't expose yourself completely right away. Let your partner have a little patience, it won't hurt at all. This way you build up the tension some more. For all I know, you may have something completely different in mind. Without a doubt, these kimonos provide the necessary inspiration. 😉

You could also opt for the more romantic or playful character of a Babydoll.


What is that again a Babydoll? It is usually a slightly shorter nightgown that you can wear as nightwear. The difference with other lingerie is the shaped cups that usually fall out into a short skirt or a thong or shorts. 

Did you know the babydoll emerged in the 1940s, from a shortage of textiles because of the war? Textile enough now, but sometimes that can be exactly what we want. Make it a little more challenging. 😘

At Livebetter you can find many different types, something for everyone. Short, long, with or without pants or thong, or even with adjustable suspender straps.


If you are not shy, go all out and opt for a more sheer Babydoll. This way you can bring out your super feminine curves irresistibly. Your partner will undoubtedly not regret it. 😊

No problem if you are more reserved. Livebetter also has the perfect Babydoll for you. Maybe you want something playful with a bow or a satin ribbon. 😉

Whatever you choose, you will radiate passion and love in this beautiful lingerie. 😍

Great Tips to Take Care of Your Feet - Kneipp - Hydro Kick - The new foot care

Hi There..... Do you like to take care of your feet? Do you think foot care is important?

It is, right? What if we wouldn't take care of them? Where would we be without our feet? They bring us everywhere we want to go, so we just have to take care of them. 😯

My mom and dad were in a walking club when we were quite young. We used to do very long nature walks, and I still remember it vividly. Especially the times after the walks, because there was a playground at the club. 😀

There were swings and a jungle gym, can’t recall any other things, because I was only about 4 or 5 years old. Oh yes, I just remembered there was a lot of sand too surrounding the entire playground. I remember having so much fun at that jungle gym and being super proud when I reached the top. 😎

It also reminds me of an incident there, where everybody laughed very hard because of something I said. We had gotten some bubblegum and were playing outside. I had to pee, so I went to the toilet. I was chewing on my gum when suddenly I swallowed it. 😨

That made me so upset, and I ran straight to my mom, crying my eyes out. Mom, I cried out. I swallowed my gum. Are my intestines going to stick together now? Everyone laughed so loud, but it was my mom’s fault, you know. She was the one who had told me this so that I would pay attention never to swallow my gum, and I was silly enough to believe her. 😏

Oh my, I have wandered far away from the subject. We were talking about foot care, of course. A few days ago, I received a surprise package from Kneipp to take care of my feet. 😍


Ah, you are curious, come on, admit it. I was too, because it came as a full surprise. Don't you just love surprises? Being a blogger is a lot of work sometimes. It's a good thing I can work on my laptop from my lazy chair, and today my feet are completely happy and refreshed. 😍

Let me tell you a bit more about this package from Kneipp, and what their press release said. 😊

Hydro Kick - The new foot care from Kneipp


This summer your feet will get a fresh hydro kick! Namely, with two new Kneipp foot products with a moisturizing and cooling effect.
First, the Cooling foot bath crystals. This allows you to take a refreshing foot bath that will completely refresh you and your feet. 
Second, a delicious Hydro foot cream with fresh menthol for a long-lasting cooling effect and good care of your feet. The aquatic scent of these two new foot products is like an invigorating summer breeze.
They are available from the end of April at www.kneipp.com and at well-known Kneipp sales points.

Foot Bath Crystals

  1. The first part of my foot care treatment was the bath crystals. What do they say about this product?

    This salt comes from a dried up sea from 250 million years ago. Because the salt is so deep, it is free from pollution and is extra rich in valuable minerals. With these foot bath crystals, you really treat yourself to something valuable and you benefit from the power of nature.

    Refresh your feet and feel the pleasant cooling effect of a footbath with the natural ingredient menthol. The extracts of aloe vera and water mint gently cleanse, revitalize and neutralize for fresh and well-groomed feet.


  2. How to use it:
    Fill the cap to the brim with bath crystals and dissolve them in a footbath with lukewarm water. Enjoy this foot bath for about 10 minutes.


    Oh my, I forgot to warn you about the naked flesh. I sure hope I didn't scare you too much. That was never my intention. 😳

  3. The moment you have been waiting for. What did I think about it? It felt as if I was in a Spa. As I opened the bottle, it was a kind of weird smell, but not that bad, but when you put the crystals in the water it really has about the same lovely scent of a Wellness center. 😚

Hydro foot cream

  1. After the bath, you pat the feet dry and then pamper them with the foot cream. What do they say about this product?

    Hydro foot cream with aloe vera, water mint and the naturally cooling menthol absorbs quickly and immediately refreshes tired feet and legs. Thanks to the cooling and intensive moisturizing effect, the skin feels smooth, fresh and revitalized. Gently massage into the feet to feel refreshed and invigorated.


  2. As they said, I gently massaged the cream into my feet. What a treat, and I can imagine the cooling effect this foot care treatment could have on a hot summer day or after a long walk. 😎

A few advantages.

  1. Hydrating, cooling and refreshing
  2. With refreshing water mint, aloe vera and menthol
  3. Dermatological tested
  4. Vegan and not tested on animals
  5. Without preservatives, paraffin, mineral oils, silicones, microplastics
  6. The bottle packaging and the label of the Kneipp foot bath crystals are made of 99% recycled material. (They are still working on the cap)

Kneipp already has a range of products for your feet if you can't wait until the end of April.

Foot bath crystals with Calendula for you if you have sensitive, stressed feet, or have problems with calluses.

5-in-1 Foot Cream with Safflower Oil and Avocado Oil is an effective all-in-one care for the feet.
Foot Butter for dry and congested feet will make them become soft and supple. 
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't have to think twice before buying their products. 😍

Maybe you would like to read my previous blog post about Kneipp https://seadbeady.blogspot.com/2020/07/tips-on-great-skin-care-products-from.html

Kneipp also celebrates its 130th anniversary this year. The brand was founded by the naturopath Sebastian Kneipp, who throughout his life has helped and advised people to live a healthy and happy life. 

As a "life coach", Kneipp is happy to give you that bit of extra support for achieving a healthy lifestyle and a positive mindset so that you can fully enjoy life. They contribute to this with Kneipp moments spread throughout the day that support a conscious and pleasant lifestyle. 

These Kneipp moments are created through the use of their different products. What the products have in common is a long-lasting effect based on the power of nature and science, ranging from revitalizing, uplifting to relaxing effects. 

In addition to products, they also provide additional lifestyle advice and offer services inspired by the philosophy of Sebastian Kneipp. This holistic approach gives you the opportunity to choose those Kneipp elements that meet your needs and fit into your lifestyle.

Where To Find 24 Cool Gifts For Women - Fashion Gift Guide - April 2021

Hi There..... Have you been waiting impatiently to see my new Fashion Gift Guide? 

I bet you are more than ready to find out what kind of cool gifts for women are coming up next. 😊

What if you are not? Maybe you are thinking, oh no, not another one of those. 😱

Ok, I will drop it. That would be terribly disappointing, though, for all those people I promised to feature in my gift guide. Would you really want that? Are you not the least bit curious to find out more about the cool gifts for women I found for you this time? 😲

No, of course, you don't want me to blow this whole gift guide off. You are a kind soul. I am sure of it. Nah, I can't say I am sure. That would be a lie. 😁

What I can say is that I have met a few of my readers, and they were very kind. No, not in person, through messaging online. I always love to get to know more about my readers. You know so much about me already, but I don't know that much about you. Although, some of my fellow bloggers are readers too, and a few share personal information about themselves. 😊

Many people have told me they love it when I get personal. It felt really weird in the beginning, but after a while, you get used to it. 😊

I have learned to be careful not to hurt any of my friends or the people I love. Sometimes I think of bad things that happened to me, but if it's hurtful to my family, I won't share it. But no need to worry. I have been around long enough to have lots of stories to tell. Surely you must have noticed those wrinkles I am so fond of. 😏

Enough small talk. Let me show you these fashionable gifts for women. 😎

EZ DRESS, LIGHT JERSEY $88.00



A.Lynn is an NYC-based sustainable fashion brand reinventing the sizing systems to reduce fashion waste. We are working to solve the trillion-dollar problem of returns and exchanges in fashion. Our goal is to end returns because our customers can find the perfect fit for the first time. And the proof is in the numbers. We have almost zero returns.

Not only are all our designs made from sustainably sourced fibers (our fibers use less water and are manufactured in a C02 neutral facility), but we are reinventing the traditional size scale to give women a more personalized fit on demand. More sizes for all women, like people under 5’4” or over 5’8”, who constantly have to get clothes tailored because designers only give women 'a size' (small, medium, large), unlike men who get neck and sleeve length.

It was this problem that our founder, Andrea Seemayer, stepped up to solve. After working as a director at brands like Zac Posen and Alice & Olivia, Andrea saw the incredible sizing gap for women’s height and length. So she worked to develop specialized sustainable fibers and a sizing system using 64 points of measurements, and A.Lynn Designs was born.

Meet the dress you throw on to run errands or conquer a night out on the town. EZ Dress hangs straight on the body with a high-low hemline to elongate the legs and create a flowing train of fabric behind you. Side slits allow for plenty of movement and plenty more attitude.

House of the Sun Necklace $ 80.00



A large part of Nina Berenato's brand identity rests on the designer's goal to use her gift for design to make all women feel powerful, beautiful and capable of anything. 

Since opening up her first retail store in Austin, TX inside of a re-furbished 1959 Airstream Bambi, Nina has become a fixture in Austin’s growing maker community. In 2017, Nina Berenato opened her first flagship store where she produces her namesake collection, teaches jewelry-making classes, and leads her team of 4 incredible Austin women.

In 2020, Nina Berenato Jewelry received Austin's highest sustainability honor, Platinum Green Business Leader, becoming the first fashion retailer to do so. 

The designer's involvement in the Austin community doesn't stop with her leadership in sustainable fashion, she uses her designs to raise money for local charities and regularly opens her shop up as a space to help other female artists grow and thrive.

Every piece Nina makes is 100% women-made, certified sustainable, and socially good.

You can layer this circular turquoise pendant necklace with anything. The delicate and dainty thin chain makes it a great addition to any jewelry collection. 

This necklace is inspired by the message of the indigenous Kogi people of Colombia. The Kogi say that their ceremonial "house of the sun" is mirrored after the first house, a circular building with a womb-like opening to the heavens. This first house was created by the mother who created the Sun with her own menstrual blood.

This necklace has a natural Turquoise stone set in the center. It comes on an 18-inch chain, however, we can make a different chain length for you at no additional charge if you'd prefer that. Just put your length request in the "Notes" section of your order. All bodies are good bodies and we want our necklaces to fall perfectly on YOU.

Music Cat Hair Clip $11.99



La Tiare is French for 'The Tiara.'

Tiaras are often associated with royalty and princesses, but that not true. From Persian origins, the word 'Tiara' is used to define ornaments worn on formal occasions, meaning anything could be a 'Tiara.'

The idea came from three founders, Janice, Nancy, and Jenny. They loved to discuss trending hairstyles, and fashion. They realized people dress up for clothes and shoes, but not for hair. It is such a pain to put accessories on in winter because it would cause rashes on the skin. There is no limitation on fashion. Why not put hair accessories on instead of earrings and necklaces? They believe hair accessories are a new trend of beauty expression. They do not cause any rashes on the skin and are easy to style.  

At La Tiare, we believe every hair accessory has a story to tell, and you are part of that amazing tale. We believe you should express yourself and your hair regardless of type, color, or length. Dress your hair the way you want, with La Tiare. 

Meow~~ Who doesn't love cats? If you are looking for something to please the cat lover in you, you are in the right place. The hair clip is sturdy and suitable for any hair.

Music Cat is a set of 2 hairpieces. Dreamy Cat Series ~ Starry Cat Hair Clip & Planet Cat Hair Clip.


The Paris Tank - Navy $84




In early 2016, Molly Shaheen & Huw Collins were considering opening a boutique, with both having an interest & enthusiasm for the fashion world. Huw had completed filming the TV show Pretty Little Liars, and Molly was looking to capitalize on her wealth of business experience.

During a trip to Paris, Huw had arranged a private tour of Coco Chanel's apartment, in the knowledge that his wife had long admired the enduring influence of the House of Chanel.

Whilst they walked through in the hallowed space, where Chanel masterminded a fashion revolution, Molly noticed many symbols and motifs of Wheat permeating the aesthetic.

They learned that after Gabrielle Chanel was born into poverty in the French countryside during Harvest in 1883. She formed a strong belief that Wheat represented an opportunity to transcend her circumstances, and keeping symbols of it close by would always bring her prosperity and abundance.

Moments after hearing the story, Molly suggested to Huw that they should name their boutique Wheat, using a painting by Dali from Chanel's apartment to inspire the logo design. Consecrating the plan in a space touched by the hand of Chanel, Wheat was born!!

After the success of Wheat’s inaugural location in York Beach, ME in 2017, a second location followed in Newburyport, MA later that year with Meghan Bonnano & Colleen Roy.

In early 2019, Wheat expanded to the West coast. Taking advantage of an opportunity to progress the brand to a new frontier, the third Wheat location was opened at Hotel Casa del Mar, in Santa Monica, CA.

One year later to the day, in 2020, Wheat opened a fourth location, its second on the West coast. Entering a partnership with the Four Seasons brand at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills.

In Spring 2020 came the introduction of Wheat 1.17, a luxury lifestyle clothing line encompassing the essence of the Wheat brand. This move allowed Wheat's loyal customer base to bring a piece of Wheat along with them on all their adventures!

Soft fabric and flattering lines come together to create the ideal tank, marrying aesthetic & practicality in perfect union.

Post Softly and Carry a Big Stick Shirt $35.00



Live Laugh Shirt is a shop created as a sarcastic mirror for pop culture. Ryan Lambert, the owner, loves absurdity, satire, and irony, and most of the creative elements rise out of that headspace. He also considers himself an archivist, collecting phrases, fonts, and graphics to blend in together and use as designs. 

The website serves as a lightning rod, to attract attention and support for his film and literary projects. He publishes a weekly newsletter that showcases all of his projects, a digest of writing and videos, clothes for sale, and more.

He is also hoping to grow Live Laugh Shirt into a collaborative effort, working with other thinkers and artists to create new designs. He uploads a new design each week, so there's plenty of room for fresh partnerships. 

In fact, he says he's open to anyone sending him an email with ideas or suggestions. He is not on social media, so that's really the only way to find or contact him.

This shirt pays tribute to the greatest of all personality traits: paranoia. [100% cotton]


No is a Complete Sentence. - Women's Tank Top $27.00



I'm Lindsey, founder of FerrisBuilt. I live in Seattle, Washington, with my identical twin daughters. I lost my company of 12 years due to Covid in the spring of 2020 (an event production company) and had to figure out a way to pivot and make a living when the industry that I've worked in my entire 25+ career - was shut down. As a single parent, this was a bit scary, to say the least!
I decided to pursue my creative side in July 2020 and see if I could make a go of my wood art and apparel designs I've been doing as a "side hustle" for a few years - and figured "why not now?" My motivation was to still be a business owner as I enjoy that challenge and find a way to have a work schedule that I can prioritize my time around my children's schedule.
My apparel & gifts are a way that I express things I feel strongly about with topics such as mental health, self-care, inspiring women, and current events. I also have one-of-a-kind wood wall art I create out of my woodshop in Seattle, Washington (part of my own self-care practice!)

No is a complete sentence design on a women's fit tank top.

The color in the main image is "Black"

The modern, relaxed fit and round neckline make this tank a must-have to go with your favorite jeans and sneakers. 100% airlume cotton (fiber content may vary for a few colors)


The end. Those were all the gifts I wanted to share today. Contact me if you want to be part of the next one. 😍
