Where To Find 33 Cool Gifts For Women - Fashion Gift Guide - 08/2021

Hi There..... Are you in for another gift guide? 

I can only hope so because I have some cool gifts for women lined up again. First, I had little, but after a second call, I got 33 gifts together in this fashion gift guide. Can't fit in many more. That might be quite a risk. You might fall asleep before you are done reading. 😏

So glad I finished this one before the evening because I am going to a performance of one of our band members, who is in only 3 bands in total. Not that I already finished my gift guide, but it's good to be prepared. 😁

If I don't finish today, there is always another day, and another and another. After postponing enough days, I won't have to finish anymore, because all my readers will escape. 😄

Did you know, I used to play too, but at the moment my keyboard is in the basement. It's waiting patiently until our granddaughter gets too old for sleeping over. Question of priorities, and my granddaughter is obviously very important to me. 😍

Ok time to show you those cool gifts for women. 😊

The Wanderer - Jewelry Travel Case $42.99



Three tangled necklaces.
That’s all it took for Roam Often to bloom. After untangling necklace after necklace—in Napa, in Greece, and in Spain—co-founder Alisha was fed up. She wanted a functional, beautiful way to transport her style without the hassle. Her friend Ishani, a fellow jewelry aficionado and co-founder agreed.

And so Roam Often was born. 
Roam Often is much more than a tangled necklace, though. It’s about inspiring style everywhere your travels take you. And that’s why we’ve expanded into creating even more beautiful and functional travel accessories that help you, be you, wherever you roam.

Who We Design For
The idea for Roam Often was sparked by our own travels. Our products are shaped by the travels of our friends, family, and soul sisters.

Whether you’re a world traveler, gypsy wanderer, weekend getaway-er, or off-the-beaten-path-ers, Roam Often was created for you. Our products are compact and versatile—designed to accentuate your travel style, not cramp it. And that goes for wherever your travels take you, whether it’s on a glamorous cruise across the sea, or down the street for a post-work yoga sess. 

Meet The Wanderer, your new travel jewelry case. A travel essential. 
We took the classic travel jewelry case and upgraded it. Compact and cute, The Wanderer fits anywhere you need: your purse, suitcase, hiking backpack, or the hotel safe. This travel jewelry case has an earring bar, ring loop, necklace pouch, bracelet pocket, and simple snap bands for everything else. All in a fashionably patterned interior that will make you smile every time you look at it. Finally, a travel jewelry organizer that’s just as stylish as the items it protects inside. 

We’ll let you in on a little secret. It’s not just for travel. The Wanderer is versatile enough to roam with you throughout the day, from school to the yoga studio, or from the office to happy hour. Is The Wanderer the best travel jewelry case ever? It just might be.

The EveryWear Bra™ $89




Vibrant Body Company, a leader in clean intimates, was founded to 
A) never use wires in our bras due to what studies show restriction to the breast does to women’s health and 
B) none of our first layer intimates (bras, tank tops, and underwear) contain potentially harmful chemicals and dyes. We are proud to have the OEKO-TEX® certification to reinforce our focus on women’s wellness.
 
It's important to note that VBC products are designed BY women, for the wellness of ALL women.

Our mission is to change the way women think about their breasts, bras & first layer by advocating for industry change and providing an alternative; an extraordinarily comfortable, patented wire-free bra and first layer that’s free from potentially harmful toxins.

The problem with wired bras is that they’re not only uncomfortable, but they also work against your body’s natural shape instead of with it.

In our bra, the support comes from the cups, not an underwire. We came to the conclusion that a wire-free bra provided better support than those with a wire after developing 80 prototypes and spent 7 years in Europe developing this technology.

The EveryWear Bra™ is wire-free and made with a “utility” patented C-shaped cup that supports the natural breast shape. 

The bra is made from nylon, lycra, polyamide, spandex, plastic, and carbon steel for eye hooks, with signature non-slip, soft padded straps that stay in place with seamless stitching.
Every stitch, fabric, foam, dye, and the clasp has been certified OEKO-100 certified to contain no harmful levels of toxins by the European standard, highest in the world, and exceeds the US standards considerably.

Day Starts and Ends Gratitude Women's text tee $29.00



Gratitude Garb started as a business in our homeschool room, of all places. After expressing what we were grateful for on our gratitude tree, our 8-year-old daughter blurted an idea to help others feel the same joyful feeling we felt when we expressed gratitude. Thus, Gratitude Garb was born.

Here you’ll find exciting fashion designs from super-soft tees, hoodies, and hats for him, her, them, and the kids to fitted shirts and racerback tanks for the ladies. And you’ll find stylish home decor, backpacks, bags, and accessories to inspire gratitude in your home and wherever you go.

It is our belief that gratitude and thankfulness are the roots of happiness. We can’t imagine someone being both thankful and upset at the same time. But sometimes we all need a reminder to reflect and show our gratitude.

We have three aims with Gratitude Garb.

The first is that we hope to inspire as many people as we can to prioritize gratitude and spread the gift of it to others. We hope to make the world a happier place.
The second aim is we are building this family business with our daughter, teaching her the skills to conceive, start, and run a business. Teaching her how to be independent, confident, and as self-reliant as possible is a central part of our homeschool plan for her.
The third aim is to raise as much money as we can to help fight cystic fibrosis. A friend of Maisy’s has this horrible but not widely understood disease, and we’ve seen the impact it has on our close friends.

Start your day with gratitude by slipping on this stunning text design! Others will stop in their tracks when they see you wearing this stylish tee and that will give you the opportunity to talk about the joy that comes from living a grateful life. As you pull on this t-shirt in the morning, it’ll put a smile on your place, reminding you to be grateful, happy, and to spread joy. Feel rich and content as you adore this classy tee with a beautiful message.

Your typical 100% cotton t-shirt (except for Heather Grey, Dark Heather Grey, Heather Green, and Heather Blue colors that contain polyester). Pre-shrunk to make sure your size is maintained throughout several washes, and a classic fit.

AMARA $32.00



Why buy ordinary? Every Tuli product is handmade in East Africa by talented, tenacious people who are working to provide themselves and their families with better futures. Click their images below to learn more about them and how your support is changing their lives!

Tuli’s artisans are paid fair wages that allow them to feed their families, educate their children, and rise out of poverty. Your purchase directly supports our artisan community, making a meaningful, lasting change.

We keep our team small to ensure maximum impact and because, unlike other brands, we do not limit the time our artisans can work with us. We’ve found that the more popular, time-based model is not a sustainable solution to poverty. We’ve had artisans use their income from Tuli to finish their schooling and get new jobs or start their own businesses, and while we love when that happens, we never force our artisans out of our program. When we bring them on the team, it’s for as long as they need us.

The playful and flirty Amara necklace features gorgeous paper beads, handmade and hand-painted in Uganda and arranged in a cascading y-shape. While it's simple enough to wear with versatility and frequency, it's bold enough to draw the eye. Approximately 18 inches. Lobster clasp and sizing chain.


Inspire Spiral Loose SS T $34.00



Ancient Language apparel. We are the only yoga brand with 27 years of successful intuitive design that has maintained serious staying power. We honor the healing journey, wisdom, and depth of women who practice yoga. 

Meet Annette Dale Kramek — a veteran designer who pioneered the first yoga apparel line. Long before Lululemon launched their brand in 1998 and became a household name, Annette had the idea to create her own yoga apparel line. When yoga was just emerging, it helped save her life. She wanted more people to experience the benefits of yoga and saw the vision of it being practiced worldwide.

It was in 1993 that Annette launched her yoga line, naming it Chaffins Yoga Collection, after her mother's maiden name. Her brand was inspired by her own healing journey, for it was yoga and meditation that helped her recover from life-altering brain surgery.

When creating the yoga line, Annette was no novice to apparel design. Annette came from a lineage of milliners, so sewing was in her blood. She remembers first sewing around the age of six. Growing up in a low-income home, she made her own clothes to replicate the clothes she saw in store windows.

Before her health crisis, Annette was the lead skiwear designer at Warnaco — one of the biggest distributors of underwear, sportswear, and swimwear worldwide. Their products were sold to brands like Calvin Klein, Speedo, and Chaps. Under her design leadership, the skiwear division grew from 8 million to 28 million in just 2 years.

As a talented designer with connections in the industry, Annette pitched her yoga line to big brands like Prana, Speedo, Patagonia, and Adidas. She got rejected by all of them, but she didn’t let this stop her. If these big brands would not help her, she knew she had to take it upon herself to launch her yoga brand.

Envision...Ignite...Explore...Journey...Discover...Endeavor...Create...Manifest...Inspire...Reflect...This is the process of growth and manifestation written by Annette from her studies in yoga and human potential.  This boxy tee is soft and flowy. Runs true to size.

embrace uncertainty / figaro chain $54.00



Because of the stigma that still exists around mental illness, we are not properly taught how our mind works, how it breaks, and how it heals.

Most of us have experienced some sort of anxiety at a very early age, but because nobody talks about it, it’s not something we easily recognize until we’re all grown up and realize that life is really, really hard. The good news is, it’s never too late to learn how to take care of our mind, even when we feel it’s out of our control.

And with that, two sisters with OCD and anxiety (yes, it runs in the family) decided it was time to share their journey with the world.

Presently, bracelets bear affirmations that use a cognitive behavioral approach to teach us how to shift our own thoughts and disrupt the unproductive thought spirals that consume so many of us. The less time we spend fueling our anxiety, the more room we have to notice the beauty of the present moment.

The phrases engraved on our bracelets are used in cognitive-behavioral therapy to remind us that when we stop resisting those feelings of anxiety, we can actually find some relief.

Magic Nipple Covers €25,94



We at BOOMBA, believe in working with factories that share the same values of quality and integrity. We have chosen to partner up with ethical, smaller manufacturers because we have found they tend to focus more on quality and take great pride in their work. They also play an important role in moving the economy along by providing jobs and opportunities to the locals in their communities.

The process of making BOOMBA double-sided adhesive inserts is a combination of machinery and craftsmanship. After the inserts have been pressed, the glue is hand-brushed by skilled workers, then cut by hand into their shape.

Marginal errors, such as tiny pieces of silicone gel, may come off on skin or clothing at times. Please note that this is normal and does not affect the usage of the inserts. Even though we pride ourselves on our quality and rigorously conduct quality control, please understand that there is human error. If in any case, you feel you have purchased a defective pair or you are unsatisfied with your purchase, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us so that we can make it right.

We are excited to announce that we now have two styles for our Magic Nipple Covers, adhesive and non-adhesive.

These Magic Nipple Covers are essential in every wardrobe. Seamless, lightweight, with a skin-like finish, these Magic Nipple covers are sure to blend effortlessly into your skin, staying undetectable under your top.

Her Highness Lace Brief in Pearl $38



We're a mother-daughter team bridging the generational gap between old-fashioned granny panties and modern women’s underwear, for underwear that's as comfortable as it is sexy.

One day, I mentioned the idea of sexy granny panties to my daughter, a mother of two, and a marketing whiz (in my unbiased opinion). She initially scoffed at the idea but, after surveying her friends whose bodies had also changed over time, she saw an actual need for comfortable, sexy underwear for women of all ages. And, ultimately, she realized her mother was right, as daughters often do. 

That, my friends, is how we came up with the idea for Bloomers - sexy granny panties for the woman who wants to look and feel good. Because, regardless of your age, isn't that what we all want?

The perfect panties for daytime, nighttime, and playtime.
Lightweight, lace underwear.
High-waisted, full coverage cut to conceal any lumps, without constricting.
No panty lines, no muffin tops, no wedgies.
Comes with a reusable mesh laundry bag.


Afghan Rubab (Persian Poetry) Unisex Long Sleeve Tee White $38.00



IhsanIshan Design is a luxury fine arts and design studio at the forefront of promoting global culture.

Founded by acclaimed designer Sangeetha Kowsik, IhsanIshan produces one-of-a-kind, unisex textiles, art prints, and accessories inspired by the art of traditional Arabic Calligraphy, global iconography, all with a modern luxe flair.

This piece was inspired by a dear friend who is a very famous Afghan Rubab player. 

The Rubab is one of the national instruments of Afghanistan and is frequently mentioned in Persian and Sufi poetry. Rumi, the famous poet, also wrote many verses on love, musical instruments, and how music is the way to connect to the divine.

The Rubab has a special significance in Sikhism as well, being the first instrument used by the Guru (teacher). Along with a Persian friend, I searched for the right verse for my artwork. I wanted to present the complete piece as a birthday gift to my aforementioned friend, the Afghani Rubab player. I came across the verse below, by Saeb Tabrizi, with the help of a renowned Afghan poet and Rumi scholar. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Saeb Tabrizi also wrote ghazals, which are famous throughout South Asia and sung in the classical tradition. And this fits well with my birthday gift plans, as my friend sings classical music along with playing the Rubab.
This verse is in Persian (Farsi) and is attributed to the 16th C Persian poet Saeb Tabrizi, who wrote in “Indian style” and traces his ancestry to Shams Tabrizi, Rumi's spiritual instructor. 
This verse is promoting peace as opposed to destruction.

”That disobedient Palm (tree) that turned into an ax was not one of us, when destiny breaks us we turn into a “Rubab”. 

Read right to left, the verse is drawn in “stylized script” around the body and the full verse is written in the middle. I added “Jimikis,” which is a traditional jewelry shape of South India on the tassel.

Virgo Astor Box & Necklace Bundle $87.00



Eternal Roses® was founded out of a love of beauty & design. We also realized that a key element of practicality in a floral gift was missing — long-lasting roses. We are very passionate about creating elegant pieces, incorporating artisan products, and sustainability.

However, first and foremost, we are busy parents to two small children under the age of five, so we always look for multiple purposes in products. We wanted our gifts to become something that can be enjoyed as home decor. This is how we created our Soho Centerpiece.  

Our hectic, family-focused lifestyle led us to believe we could give our customers the flexibility of enjoying a gift that can be displayed, and admired in any space, but also be used for different means in the future. 

While trying to make this experience as perfect as possible, we decided there is no better way than to make a luxury rose gift cost-effective and effortless. Therefore, we invite you to enjoy our Soho Luxury Rose Arrangement Centerpiece. Once it arrives, simply take it out of the box and display it anywhere in your space.  

As with any of our luxury rose gift boxes, the "WOW" factor is a guarantee!

Looking for a unique gift for that special Virgo in your life? Our Zodiac-themed preserved roses each come in a custom-designed black textured box displaying the astrological sign's constellation using powerful crystals. Pretty and powerful, crystals are a key accessory in helping one tune into their soul using energy. Each Zodiac-themed necklace comes in its own Eternal Roses gift box with a ribbon, making it the ideal gift already wrapped. A unique and thoughtful gift bundle for any loved one, astrology fan, or star-obsessed friend. 

Virgo (August 23-September 22), the sixth sign in the Zodiac, is the Virgin. Those born under the Virgo sign are often detail-oriented, modest, and graceful. Focused and hard-working, Virgos appreciate gifts that are thoughtful and that reflect their unique tastes. 

Suggested Zodiac Color:  Apricot

Gold Plated Stainless Steel Necklace
Roses are natural, and their sizes may vary 
Do not water rose, handle with care 
Do not expose to direct light, excessive heat, or dust
Rose will radiate natural beauty for up to 3 years

Material: This woman's backpack is made of PU Leather.

The Frida £40.00 ($55.06)



The Crochet Collective is a small independent business founded over lockdown by four young women with a shared passion for crocheting and slow fashion. We understand people care where their clothes come from. That's why we only use sustainably sourced, 100% cotton yarn. Our bespoke tops are all lovingly handmade by our team and available in all shapes and sizes because one size does not fit all. We have also chosen to donate 10% of our profits to Women's Aid so you can be sure that your purchase is going towards a good cause. We're hooked on Handmade, Bespoke & Ethical Fashion.

A more covering top in fresh summer colors and inspired by the artistic genius of Frida Kahlo, this is perfect for summer picnics as the days get warmer.


Fox Cross Ear Hooks $60.00



The products found in the physical store and the online store include the signature fur jewelry line, hand-forged copper jewelry with natural semi-precious gemstones, textile jewelry, housewares, and textile wall art. I work with materials that are naturally colored and create designs that are simple and understated, which allows the texture and tone of the materials to be prominent. The strong Scandinavian tone in my work exists thanks to both the time I spent in Iceland and to my Danish ancestry.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission has tasked Canadians with reconciling with Indigenous Canadians for the grievous acts of racially-based violence and innumerable misdeeds that occurred when European settlers arrived and which continue today. My hope of buying furs for as close to “top lot” pricing as possible and only from Indigenous trappers can restore some of the systemic inequality that they and others experience. This business is a small one, but even the smallest of stones can make ripples in a pond that reach a long, long way.

Sterling silver-filled marquise ear wires are a classic shape that works beautifully with the full range of furs that we offer in this style. The Italian lambskin atop each tiny piece of fur is sleek and dramatic, and the perfect contrast to the texture and volume of the fur. Each earring is hand-stitched with imitation sinew creating a seam that is both strong and beautiful.

Note: the color of your exact pair will probably be a little different from the ones shown, but they will be the fur variety you've selected and they will be beautiful.

Please know that whenever we create a pair of anything (earrings, cufflinks, etc.) We cut both pieces of fur from the exact same spot so we can match both items as much as is possible. However, there will always be differences - sometimes imperceptible, sometimes obvious. I always regard this as an attribute.

Interview with Fashion Designer Roseline D'Oreye

Hi There..... Are you a fan of fashion accessories? 

I certainly hope so, because I have another fashion designer interview for you today. If not, just read and who knows, you might get to like those fashion accessories in the end. 😉

Perhaps it's a bit like learning to eat veggies or stuff like that. That reminds me of all the things I had to learn to eat but never did. Things like fish, yuck, I still hate it. 😝

Sometimes I wonder if all the fuss about eating foods you don't like is worth it. When I and my sisters were kids, we had to keep trying, even though we clearly didn't like it. I can't count the times I had to eat things against my will. Ooh, so much fun. 😏

I never applied that rule with my kids. They always had to try foods that were new to them, but I never forced them to keep trying. When they hadn't tried it for a long time, I let them give it another go. Not sure if that was a better tactic, but at least it was better for my conscience. 😁

Time for a change in subject. Who is the star on my blog today? She is 41 and her personal and brand name is Roseline d’Oreye.


What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

I’m a fashion designer and art therapist. 
I have worked for several years as a book illustrator and as an art teacher. 
Now I have formed my company in which I create and produce my own designs on silk squares and other luxury fashion accessories. 

What made you decide to become a fashion designer?

Since I was a child, I wanted to be an artist / a drawer. 

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Yes, because it reveals our identity and the way we propose ourselves to others. Clothes and fashion accessories protect us and highlight our personality. It can help to build self-esteem. 


What are your successes and how did you achieve them?

My best success is to have the honor of working with La Maison Degand (made to measure men’s fashion) and La Maison Natan (women’s haute couture) for silk pockets and scarves. 
I took an appointment with Pierre Degand, and he liked my work. Then he suggested to collaborate. 
With Edouard Vermeulen, it was a lucky day. I met him by chance at the Sablon. He also liked my work and asked me to work with him. 

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing?

No, but it gives me a sense of the product’s identity. 

Describe your personal style of clothing?

Rock & romantic, and very different from one day to another. 
I’m used to matching different pieces of clothes and fashion accessories as a work of art. Everything has to contribute to complete harmony. 


How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

My personal style always grows with my personality, the circumstances of my life, and my daily mood. I don’t have a signature. I am the signature. 

Do you have an influence on other people’s clothing style?

I don’t know. I try to help people to love themselves and to dare to try new ways of clothing that look good for them. 

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

The timeless elegance. 


What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

Writing the name of the brand in extra large fonts on the clothes. 

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Feel beautiful and comfortable with your outfit. It has to highlight your own beauty. 


Who is your style icon and why?

Audrey Hepburn because she is not only beautiful, she is luminous, authentic, so much elegant, very brave, and generous. 
Did you know she wasn’t only a famous actress, but a humanitarian? For several years, she devoted her time to UNICEF where she worked in some of the poorest communities of Africa, South America, and Asia. 

“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone. “(Audrey Hepburn) 

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

Fashion has to make sense to you and agree with your values, your way of loving life, and your identity. 


Thanks, Roseline, for this lovely interview. Love that Audrey Hepburn quote. 😍

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

Tips on Innovative Beauty Products in Belgium - Beautical - Take care of Yourself

Hi There..... Do you think it important to take care of yourself? Do you like beauty products?

Ah, I bet you do. No, I am not only talking to the women reading my blog post today. Own up to it if you are a man. Admit that you like to take care of yourself. 😎

The beauty products I am going to talk to you about after my little chat are not only for women but gender-neutral. Ah, there will be no blog post without me having a bit of small talk. 😜

When I was a teenager, there was nothing for men in the beauty line except for maybe deodorant and aftershave. Things have changed a lot. Nowadays, there are skincare products for both men and women. I am totally opposed to that. 😡

Why should men have beauty products? How can we stay better looking if they also take care of themselves? Not a good idea. Haha, just kidding, of course.  😂

Ok, time to tell you more about the free products Beautical sent me in exchange for my honest opinion. 😍


What is Beautical?

It's an advanced beauty brand, developed to help you achieve instant and long-term visible results and feel amazing in your skin.

They team up with beauty experts and scientists to develop innovative, effective formulas, based on cutting-edge technology and clinically tested ingredients, helping you maintain your youthful appearance without the need for costly, painful, or intrusive procedures.

Rooted in innovation and out-of-the-box thinking, their highly performant treatments rejuvenate and help you rediscover your beauty.

What is Beautical's mission?

Beautical believes and supports every woman’s right to feel beautiful. They commit to empowering women with a unique range of skincare and innovative products to transform you from the inside out.

Is Beautical cruelty-free?

Beauty shouldn’t come at the price of cruelty. Beautical upholds the commitment to high-end, cruelty-free skincare. Formulas are selected carefully, researched, and vetted but never tested on animals – only on them and their friends.

Is Beautical Paraben-free?

We are all about looking good and feeling even better! Beautical’s products are formulated without any parabens and are safe to use. Just pure beauty delivered by nature (with some help from technology).

Less is more

They’ve been there: they’ve seen the bathroom cabinet, filled to the brim with skincare creams, serums, masks… Beautical subscribes to the “less is more” philosophy by working around the clock to develop products that provide you with actual results and a plethora of skin benefits without cluttering your bathroom storage. By targeting multiple skin concerns at the same time, our products make you – and the environment – happier. 

Transparency

At Beautical, they believe beauty starts from within. That’s why they are committed to being 100% transparent when it comes to their products. They provide their customers with detailed information about their ingredients.

What’s more, they steer clear of confusing jargon and scientific lingo to help you truly understand how these ingredients work in synergy to reawaken your beauty. They are completely honest when it comes to the contents of their treatments, as well as the formulas and packaging. No question is off-limits.

INSTANT LIFTING SERUM



What is it?

This highly concentrated lifting serum dramatically reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while moisturizing and firming up your skin. Forget about costly, invasive procedures: enjoy smooth as silk skin and a radiant appearance within minutes.

Beautical Instant Lifting Serum’s formula is based on a powerful blend of clinically proven ingredients working in synergy to firm the skin, increase its elasticity and nourish it from within. Deeply hydrated, your skin looks rejuvenated, softer and smoother.

Because feel matters as much as looks, the Instant Lifting Serum has a silky texture that is immediately absorbed into the skin for best results. This quick absorption ensures visible, instant anti-wrinkle effects without any residue or stickiness.

While its formula targets the most dynamic facial wrinkles – the forehead lines, crow’s feet, and nasolabial folds – the serum also delivers dramatic results for the appearance of under-eye bags. By plumping up the skin and hydrating its deepest layers, Beautical Instant Lifting Serum banishes the puffiness for a firmer, glowing look.

Discover younger-looking, refreshed, and restored skin within only 5 minutes and for up to 8 hours. For maximum results and long-term benefits, use the serum daily for at least 30 days.


My opinion on the Lifting Serum

I don't see any reason why I should give you my opinion on this product. Isn't it obvious in the pictures above? You can see that the bags under my eyes are a lot less on the picture on the right. The lines around my mouth are a lot less visible, too. You can also see that my left eye has been lifted and looks much better. A slight negative is that it stings when you put on the product, but it doesn't hurt that much. The small pump makes it super easy to use. 😊

VOLUMFIZZ PEPTIDE BUBBLE SERUM


What is it?

Leave the uneven complexion, the dull and dry skin, and those pesky fine lines in the past! VOLUMFIZZ Peptide Bubble Serum plumps and nourishes the skin, recovers lost volume, and brings back the V-shape of your face. Peptide-enriched, this bubble serum will transform your skin from the inside, giving you a more radiant, youthful look with every application.

Its proprietary peptide complex reawakens your skin’s inner power, boosting collagen production and replenishing hydration for a firmer, healthier look. The unique blend of Centella Asiatica Extract and skin-soothing botanicals saturates the skin with hydration, providing a refined, even, and radiant complexion, while cutting-edge liposome technology ensures penetration and absorption of the active ingredients to the deepest layers of your skin. The proprietary bio-bubble technology, on the other hand, helps to distribute and saturate the skin with the serum’s unique blend of nutrients.

Rediscover your inner beauty and goddess glow with your new skincare staple. Bubble up and say hi to the new you!


My opinion on the VOLUMFIZZ Peptide Bubble Serum

Can I first congratulate all those YouTubers, because I now know how hard it is to make a decent video? I hope you can forgive me that my video is far from perfect, but I suppose only practice makes perfect. 

What can I say about the product? I really feel like the serum works, even though I have been using it for only a couple of days. My complexion is already getting better, and I don't need to put on extra day cream because the product moisturizes your skin perfectly. My skin feels soft and nourished. Curious to see what the results will be after using it twice a day for a month. 😚

Can I give you some advice? If you are interested in beauty hacks and advice, check out their Blog.

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

Tips on where to find Flower Art Resin Jewelry - Izabella Resin Art

Hi There..... Are you a fan of flower art? Do you like resin jewelry?

I love both flower art and resin jewelry if they are well made. Many years ago, I had a stunning piece of dried flowers, but it was made with mirrors and very hard to clean. It got very dirty after a few years and completely lost its charm. I so miss cleaning it. Duh, no, of course not. Nothing fun about cleaning. 😏

There is one piece of flower art that also almost got lost, but we could repair it. It's a frame with my original wedding flowers in it, so it's already 35 years old. Not sure if many people still do that with their bride's bouquet. Such a shame to just throw it away. Unless you get divorced maybe, then you can get rid of it. 😁

Always have been a big fan of any kind of flower, fresh or dried. They smell so nice. I have a very sensitive nose regarding flowers. More than others, it seems, because I've had several times that I remember picking up their scent while others didn't. Roses are my favorite flower scent, and I dare to bet I am not the only one. 😊

Ah yes, plants. My cat was always very fond of them, too. Somewhat too fond, if you ask me, because he made sure I didn't have to water them anymore. He liked my plants so much that he ate pieces of them or messed up the soil, so they died. I thought, why not try a cactus. You never guess what happened. Big surprise. He ate it. 

Time to tell you some more about the resin jewelry I received from Izabella Resin Art in exchange for a full blog post. 

Perhaps you would like to know a bit more about Izabella.

Info on Izabella

Bella is a teacher by profession. She taught History for ten years and is now a full-time graduate student at Uppsala University. Her love for details, which can be associated with her passion for History, is also evident in almost all her resin jewelry pieces. 

The name “Izabella” was taken from her birthplace, Isabella, Negros Occidental, where she recalls her earliest memory of witnessing different kinds of flowers blooming after a rainy day in July. In the same month of 2019, she decided to sell the resin jewelry pieces that she made during her free time.

Plants, especially their flowers, always have their unique way of brightening up someone’s day. They seem to speak a distinct language of love and happiness that easily captures people’s hearts. This is why Bella, the artist behind Izabella Resin Art, chose botanicals and resin as her primary medium for artistic expression. She hopes that her flower jewelry can elicit feelings of joy and love to anyone who will wear them.

How are the pieces of Resin Jewelry made?

Each piece from Izabella Resin Art goes through a long and rigorous process. First, the artist collects the ideal plants, which are usually small flowers and leaves, that will be used for the designs. Some of these are already dried,  but others are often preserved for two to three weeks through a flower presser. Once all the botanicals are ready, they will undergo the arrangement process, wherein they will be arranged in a bezel or a mold.

Then, layers of resin will be poured. This process is considered the most challenging part because bubbles, dust, and other particles might mix with the resin and eventually destroy the design. Last, after the curing process, each piece will be shaped and smoothened using a polishing machine. If flaws are still noticeable, a layer of resin will be added for another curing and polishing process.

Every design and detail of each piece of jewelry speaks of craftsmanship, passion, and love for the arts as it reflects the artist’s happy thoughts and emotions. In the future, she plans to create resin jewelry pieces that are inspired and made of endemic plants from the places she visits.


How can we take care of our resin pieces?

Even though the jewelry is made with stainless metal and high-quality resin, it is better to be safe than sorry when taking care of them. 
  • avoid scratching or bumping your jewelry on rough surfaces.
  • prevent discoloration by refraining from exposure to sunlight, smoke, perfume, lotion, and other chemicals.
  • remove your jewelry whenever you swim or take a bath. Remember to use the polishing cloth provided with your purchase, and make sure to store your jewelry in a clean and dry box.


My opinion on the resin jewelry

How could I not be happy with those gorgeous pieces? Red is my favorite color, so she made that one especially for me. The only thing is, which one would I choose to be my favorite. I honestly don't know, because the green one is equally beautiful. It's good that I don't have to choose. 😍


The jewelry came well packed in a cute box with my name on it, and thin crepe paper hearts. The resin jewelry pieces were accompanied by a delicate chain necklace. Inside the box were some cute dried flowers. The necklace and pendant together didn't feel heavy at all on my neck, so that's another plus. 

If you were waiting for negative feedback this time, I am sorry to disappoint you. I can only recommend you check out her shop for more resin jewelry pieces, and she has some beautiful floral frames, too.

The Best Tips on Women's Fashion - Female Body Types

Hi There..... Do you know anything about female body types? Do I need to ask you if you are a fan of women's fashion?

I don't think so. What would you be reading my blog for then if not to know more about women's fashion? Ah yes, you could have been waiting for a new review. Today, however, I wanted to talk to you about female body types. What would we be without them? 😉

You know, I had this post planned on Wednesday, but I was having so much fun that I totally forgot all about you sitting behind your screens waiting for my post to pop up in your mailbox. Haha, I wish that would have been the case. 😀

There were a few hurdles, and it drove me crazy, so I thought I'd take a day off and postpone it until today. The hard part was getting pictures I could use for my blog post without having to pay for them. 😬

I don't earn money from my blog, so I don't want to invest more than necessary. Just as Steve Jobs said, "My favorite things in life don't cost any money. It's really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time." So I thought you wouldn't mind waiting for somewhat longer this time. 😧

To make this blog post possible, I teamed up with Srilakshmi, a budding Fashion Designer from Yogic-Experience

Female Body Types

Understanding your body type is the key to women's fashion and styling. Only if you know what type you are, you will be able to choose the perfect outfit for you. 
 
There are 5 broad classifications of female body types. It all depends on the distribution of muscle and fat in the body. Go one and get out your measuring tape and note the measurements of your shoulders, bust, waist, and hip. With the help of these measurements, you can determine which body shape is yours.



Apple

If you are curvy and have similar measurements on your shoulders, bust, waist, and hip, then you could be an apple or a round body type. In this body type, the waistline is usually undefined and the bust measurement would be high. This represents a circular outline of the body. Own your bust, and go for sharp silhouettes.

An example of a celebrity that has an apple-shaped body is Christina Hendricks - Here is a link to an Instagram picture of her :)



Pear

If your hips and thighs are broader when compared to your shoulders and bust, then you have a pear body shape. Geometrically, this is also referred to as the triangle body shape. You could really flaunt your defined waistline and highlight your shoulders, arms, and back.

An example of a celebrity with a pear shape is Kim Kardashian. Here is a link to a picture from her Instagram



Hourglass

If you have a well-defined waistline with a fair balance in your shoulder and hip measurements, then you have an hourglass body shape. They consider this to be an ideal shape (though rare in reality). Highlight your contours and flaunt the shape!

An example of a celebrity with an hourglass shape is Scarlett Johansson. Here is a picture on her Instagram.



Rectangle

If you have a fairly uniform measurement of shoulders, bust, waist, and hip, then you carry a Rectangle body shape. It makes you look athletic or straight, and the waistline is also straight. If you like to break the box frame, go for outfits that give a definition to your waistline.

An example of a celebrity that has a rectangle shape is Sheryl Crow. This is a picture from her Instagram.



Inverted Triangle

If you have broader shoulders when compared to the hip, you fall in an inverted triangle type. In this scenario, the shoulder measurement is higher than the hip measurement. 

So we can mostly see a descending number in measurements from shoulder-bust-waist-hip. Flaunt your legs and highlight the lower half of your body.

The last example of a celebrity with an Inverted Triangle shape is Angelina Jolie, and this is a picture from her Instagram.

Thanks, Srilakshmi for your help 😍

I am showing you the full picture below so that you can easily compare those female body types.
