Best Tip on Mother's Day Gift Ideas - Joyamo - Personalized Name Necklace

Hi There..... Are you looking for a Mother's day gift idea? How about a personalized name necklace for her?


Jewelry is always a great mother's day gift idea if you ask me. Who would say no to a new necklace, bracelet, or pair of earrings? I wouldn't. 😜

Do I have enough jewelry? Hm, yes, I suppose so, but if we can change briefs daily, why not jewelry. Haha, I know it's not the best comparison, but isn't it the perfect excuse? 😁

Then again, do we need an excuse? Everyone deserves a little attention. Some more than others, I admit. 😏

Showing your love through gifts reflects not only the love you have for them but also your gratitude towards them. 😍

That being said, you can always send me a big bunch of flowers or any other gift if you feel you appreciate my writing. I would happily accept any thoughtful gift as a big thank you. 😂

Ok, I know it probably will never happen, but you can't blame a girl (slang for an old woman) for trying. 😉

Anyway, if you are searching for a great mother's day gift idea, this personalized name necklace Joyamo sent me in exchange for my honest opinion, could be what you are looking for. 😍

My opinion on the personalized name necklace

The necklace is lightweight. I also love that rose gold color and the choice of letter type is so elegant. Another plus is that it comes in a small box in which you can store it separately from your other jewelry pieces. 😍

Interview With Jewelry Designer Beverly Price

Hi There..... Are you in for a new jewelry designer interview?


It would be the easiest if you just say yes. Come on, humor me, and give me what I want, or I won't stop whining until the end of this blog post. 😜

All you have to do is confirm that a jewelry designer interview is exactly what you hoped. If you don't want to end up with a completely wet device, I'd advise you to do so. It doesn't matter to me if you mean it or not. 😏

The thing is. I can't see your face, so it's impossible to tell if you are genuinely happy with my subject or not. Perhaps someday in the future, I can look straight into my reader's eyes to see their emotions. 😉

Can you imagine writing something and coming back afterward to see if your writings made people happy, bored, or even angry? Wouldn't that be a great thought for a science fiction movie? Books, blog posts, or any kind of writing that would store the emotions of their readers. 😎

Who knows, it may happen in the future. You never know what they might invent next. For the time being, I'll settle for a comment at the end of this blog post. 😁

Oh wow, is it that late already? High time to let the 64-year-old Beverly Price, Founder, CEO, and Statement Jewelry Designer of Nastava Artisan Jewelry do the talking.

Picture provided by https://nastavajewelry.com/

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

​I am the founder and CEO of  Nastava Artisan Jewelry, and I design all of our one-of-a-kind and custom statement jewelry.

What made you decide to become a Jewelry Designer?

Fifteen years ago, I fell in love with the energy of the stones and the creative strength I get from designing. After many years in the world of corporate finance, where my creativity was squashed, I felt pressured to dress like a man. My jewelry design was the return to myself that I had dreamed of. 

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Absolutely. I believe fashion and jewelry are an outward expression of a woman’s self-worth, often increasing her confidence, self-esteem, and empowerment. Anyone who puts on fashionable clothes, makeup, and luxurious jewelry is immediately transformed.

Picture provided by https://nastavajewelry.com/

What are your successes, and how did you achieve them?

I was previously a senior executive of a large financial services firm and an advertising agency. I got my MBA at the age of 45. More importantly, I created my jewelry design firm and recently sold more in the first quarter of 2022 than I did all the previous year.

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

Yes, in fact, the name of my brand represents energy and strength and is a combination of the names of the most important women in my life. 
I love ​L’Agence, Ravella, and others, and of course, Nastava Artisan Jewelry.

Describe your personal style of clothing?

Eclectic, fashionable, and high-end. My clothing can vary with my mood and occasion – elegant, professional, casual, bohemian, classic, and coastal. I love to express all the different parts of myself through my signature style. 

Picture provided by https://nastavajewelry.com/

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

Years ago, I began wearing professional attire that mimicked a man's suit. I remember following a book called Dress for Success with straight gray and black-suited looks, bow ties, no jewelry, and bland pumps. I needed more to express myself, so I added color, flair, a woman’s touch, and gorgeous jewelry to create my own professional look. In my workroom, where I create jewelry, I’m very casual. When I’m out and about, I can exhibit a variety of styles and looks.

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

Absolutely. By adding Nastava Artisan Jewelry, a woman’s style is taken to another level. She shows her inner energy through a variety of designs made just for her. Her self-expression fuels her self-empowerment, and she turns heads for all the right reasons.

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

Statement Jewelry. We are moving from the minimalist movement to larger expression, which personifies the transition that women are leading. We are moving from meek to bold.

Picture provided by https://nastavajewelry.com/

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

Any trend that prevents women from expressing their uniqueness, and pieces that look like what everyone else is wearing. 

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Don’t be afraid to be yourself. Expressing yourself through fashion will allow your outer beauty to truly shine. There is no better way to make a personal statement than with statement jewelry! 

Who is your style icon and why?

Cate Blanchett – She is elegant, statement-making, and unafraid to express herself through a variety of styles.

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

For so long, the average woman has held herself back and not expressed herself in her outward appearance. We need to encourage all women to identify and express their personal style, not just the trend of the moment, but to tap into their own confidence and empowerment. Women have strength, beauty, and energy, and they need to own their own power.

Thank you, Beverly, for answering my questions. Your jewelry designs are impressive. I love those bridal headpieces of yours. 😍

Where To Find Fun Socks - HemdVoorHem Spiri Cotton Socks Lollipop Gift Box

Hi There..... Do you have a sock drawer filled with plain cotton socks, or are you the type of person who rather has fun socks?


I have both in my drawer. We can all use some more fun in our lives besides war, disease, and violence, don’t you agree? So let’s start with cleaning out some of those worn-out plain socks and replacing them with fun socks. I wish everything could be so simple. 😊

Oh yes, I can be serious if I want to be, but it’s a good thing that it doesn’t happen too often. I have always been around people with a sense of humor and witty sarcasm, so you can’t expect me to be serious too often. 😏

Some people don’t get it, though, and that’s where it gets awkward. If you make a remark thinking it’s funny and they look angry at you. There is always the question, did they interpret my joke as a horrible offense? 😦

When I was 21, something like that happened to me on a sailing course in the South of France. The instructor was giving us the names of all the triangular sails on the sailboat. To understand my joke, I will have to give you the Dutch words for them. 😄

The front sail is called ‘voorlijk’ in Dutch. The backside is the ‘achterlijk’, and the bottom is ‘onderlijk’. If you know that ‘voor’ is front, ‘achter’ is back, ‘onder’ is under, and ‘lijk’ is a dead body, you can literally translate this as a dead body on the front, back, and under the boat. 😁

Can you see the humor in it? So I made a what I thought witty remark that it was quite a horrible place, but he didn’t get it. 😬

Everybody laughed except the sailing instructor. Perhaps I could have added 'with all those dead bodies on the boat'. Not sure if you get my drift because I am struggling to keep my head above the water. 😏😀

That's enough idioms for now. Let's talk some more about fun socks. HemdVoorHem sent me these cute cotton socks in exchange for my honest opinion. 😍


About the Spiri fun socks Lollipop Gift Box

Spiri is not so much a brand as a way of life, a vision. Spiri is designed by a talented artist with an impeccable sense of color and style. The stunning designs are made into high-quality items that are not just comfortable to wear, but also carry a deeper meaning.

The Spiri logo depicts the eye: the all-seeing eye that looks beyond the surface, into the depths of things, into the very core, but it is also the mind’s eye that looks towards the spiritual world.
Picture by Seadbeady

Soft and comfortable high-quality socks for him and her, inspired by people, nature, and the universe. Welcome to Spiri's world; full of color, passion, and love. 

Treat yourself or someone else with this fun socks gift box from Spiri. This package contains 2 pairs of different Spiri Socks in white and black with an all-seeing eyes motif. Made from wonderfully soft organic cotton and designed on the magical island of Ibiza. Awaken your soul with Spiri!

Sustainable cotton socks

GOTS certified cotton is organic, so they have used no chemical pesticides in the cotton's cultivation. But GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) goes further than that. 

The international GOTS certificate not only guarantees the use of organically grown cotton but also that production takes place in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. Better for your skin, better for the earth, and better for the employees. The organic cotton feels wonderfully soft and lasts for years. A sustainable choice!

Picture by Seadbeady

My opinion on the Lollipop Gift Box

What I like most about these fun socks is that you can't feel the seam. If there is something I can't stand, it's having to turn my socks inside out and position them a certain way because the seam touches my toes. I know, it's a trait of a highly sensitive person. Just like I cut out almost all labels of my clothes because they seem to scratch all the time. 😵

There was a slight problem, though, when HemdVoorHem contacted me to ask if I was interested in reviewing a pair of these fun socks. I was a little lost because I couldn't decide which one to pick. 😄

They were all equally fun, so I let them choose for me. Don't you just love surprises? I also just love this cute box with sustainable cotton socks. I am definitely going to be wearing them a lot. 😍

Picture by Seadbeady


In my package, they also sent me a new treat to try. Sorry to say, this was not for me. At least that's what my husband thought. 😄

Ever since my Gastric Bypass, there are a lot of things I don't eat anymore, like candy bars, for instance. Before I knew it, the Knoppers coconut bar disappeared into his stomach. Safe to say he liked it. 😂

Interview with Fashion Stylist Tyler Minor

Hi There..... Would you mind if I would share another fashion stylist interview? Perhaps you would rather have a fashion designer interview?


No matter what you choose, the outcome is the same because my star for today is both a fashion designer and fashion stylist. 😁

Before I forget, I admit I was guilty of slacking off this weekend, because we went on a brief holiday. I apologize, and it won't happen again. 😜

If you are waiting for new reviews, there is no need to worry, because they are on their way. At the moment I have a pair of socks from HemdVoorHem that I just received, and am testing some hair products from Noughty Haircare Benelux. 😊

Ah yes, and I also have a Beauty Gift Guide coming up soon. Normally I would have shared this at the end of last month, but I didn't get enough responses, so if you still want to be in this next gift guide, leave a comment underneath 'contact me' on the right side of my blog post. 😉

If you are wondering what the cost is for a mention in my gift guide, there is none. Ah yes, I am crazy as Hell, but no need to worry, being crazy doesn't hurt a bit. Anyway, if it wasn't for crazy people, the world would be a bore. 😂

Let's get back to more exciting matters, like my new interview with Tyler Minor, who is the 33-year-old fashion stylist, fashion designer, co-owner of American Paint Hat, and owner of Tyler Minor Studios. 😍

Picture provided by http://tylerminorstyling.com/

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

I’m a fashion stylist and clothing designer.

What made you decide to become a Fashion Stylist?

Since I was a child, I have always been in love with fashion. After design school, I Immediately jumped into styling. For several years, I assisted and started going out and getting clients on my own. Soon I was working for big companies like Amazon, Zappos, Food Network, and then eventually started getting my celebrity clientele.

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Fashion is important to me because it helps tell a story and helps people discover their own identities.
It can be a powerful thing and change lives.

What are your successes and how did you achieve them? 

I’m proud of all of my achievements and consider my whole body of work a success. I’ve achieved things I dreamed of achieving as a child. You only achieve these things through hard work and determination.

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

Brand recognition can be important on a red carpet, but it’s unnecessary.
It helps new celebrities get recognized more through social media and with the press. Though some clients can’t afford expensive designers. So, at the end of the day, it’s most important to make sure your client looks and feels their best.

Picture provided by http://tylerminorstyling.com/

Describe your personal style of clothing? 

My personal style changes daily. Sometimes I go for a clean-cut business professional look and on other days I’m wearing a vintage band tee and ripped jeans.
Overall, my personal style really just reflects on how I feel that day or
what the day has in store for me.

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

We find personal style through experimenting with fashion.

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

To be honest, I don’t follow trends. I’m more about what looks good on you.

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Be yourself, wear what makes you feel good. Go against the grain, and wear everything with confidence.

Who is your style icon and why? 

I rarely pick favorites, but a few people who have influenced my work have been: Heatherette, Tom Ford, Olivier Rousteing, and 90s pop stars.

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

Chase your dreams, create your own trends, and work as hard as you
can.

Thank you Tylor for answering my questions. If you want to know more, you can check out his Instagram account. 😊

You should also look at American Paint. It houses an unforgettable experience where you design your own hat from start to finish. Sounds pretty cool to me. 😎

Interview With Fashion Designer Angelina Mahany

Hi There..... Would you like to learn some more about a fashion designer who makes women’s lingerie?

Have you ever owned a piece of handmade women’s lingerie? I haven’t. When I saw what this fashion designer offered, I just had to share her interview with you. 😊

The bras and panties from when I was a young girl weren’t half as pretty. Most of them were plain white with not much detail on them. Well, perhaps they were for the wealthier families, but not for us. Not that we were poor, but if you have a household of 2 adults and 3 girls, you don’t have access to expensive clothing. 😢

Getting your first bra was something to look forward to. The lady from the store would come into the booth and take your size. It was so enjoyable to get your first piece of women’s lingerie. 😍

No, of course not. I didn’t enjoy a single moment of it. Wonder if you would like to stand half-naked in front of a perfect stranger. That would mean I am a prude. 😳

Am I? I was extremely shy, which didn’t help. Such occasions would make my face turn as red as a tomato. It must have been quite a delightful contrast between my red face and the whiteness of that bra. 😂

Ok, I wanted to tell you about this fashion designer. She is Angelina Mahany, the owner of a luxury handmade lingerie e-commerce boutique. The store is called Angie’s Showroom. 😍


How old are you?

I am 32 Years Young 😊

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

I am an owner of an e-commerce store, so basically, I do a lot of things: planning, marketing, finance, logistics, production, hr, advertising, designing, etc. 

I am delegating some parts of my job a lot of things are on me. I graduated from Business school with a major in Corporate Management, and I also have a Master’s degree in Marketing.

What made you decide to become a Fashion Designer?

I am not 100% designer, I just always wanted to be a part of the fashion world. I have a good knowledge of good quality products, materials, and the difference between luxury and cheap brands. I always wanted to have something on my own, a brand. 

However, my education was in business and marketing. I didn’t know how to create things on my own. I had a vision, and I just found people (lingerie contractors) who could help me to make the vision a reality. 

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Yes, truly important. I grew up in Moscow, and I was a ballet dancer for half of my life. My parents and I traveled a lot. We always bought clothes, shoes, and accessories abroad, mainly in Europe or in the U.S. 

In ballet school, we had costumes for our performances, beautiful gowns, and tutus. We also had classes about the history of costumes and how they changed over time. 

Later on, when I moved to France to study marketing, fashion became even more important. France, like Italy, is the center of fashion. Brands are everywhere. We had professors from luxury brand companies too. It was all over us. We all dreamed of working for a luxury brand. So answering your question, fashion was always around me, since childhood it was important to me. 


What are your successes, and how did you achieve them?

It is a tough question because I can’t divine my successes or failures. Business is full of good and bad things, sometimes more bad than good. I think my success is that I keep going and do not give up even when it’s hard. 

Also, my success is that I started my own business, and I keep investing my money, time, and energy in something that I believe in and trying to grow it. Every year we have more wholesale orders, more retail clients, more collaborations. It’s nice to see that people like my products.  

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

It used to be the case. But nowadays I love to find small businesses, and purchase something “unique” from them, especially if it’s a sustainable brand and the materials are organic. 

I wish we could use all organic materials in the lingerie business. However, normally it’s more expensive to buy from small businesses than to buy something from Zara or Michael Kors. But I like to support the owners, and I know how hard it is sometimes. 

Describe your personal style of clothing?

My style had changed a lot over the past 5-to 6 years because of my life changes: climate, my work, becoming a mom, not going to the office, weight gain/loss, etc. 

I used to like office style, straight classy dresses, jackets, pants and, of course, heels. Now I like more casual long bohemian dresses, tunics, long shirts and jackets. I do wear dresses a lot… No heels for me anymore lol. But what I still keep are accessories. I love jewelry, handbags, and shoes. 

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

I am not sure. One of my projects besides Lingerie is a personal shopper. I shop a lot for my international clients. So, I know trends. I go to the stores every week, 2-3 times a week, and I guess during my shopping time for clients, I started slowly changing my personal style. 

Again, everything changes depending on your lifestyle. My life changed 360 degrees, from corporate life to being a business owner and working from home. I feel like I need to be more comfortable now because I move a lot and not sit at the desk but still look like a woman. I don’t like wearing yoga pants everywhere. Even if I go to the playground with my kid, I still wear something nice. It’s just me. 


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

I would say yes. As I mentioned, I shop for my clients. They always ask me where did I get this necklace, dress, shoes, etc? So, I assume they like what they see. I work with some Italian factories, and I sold clothes from Italy to my friends in the States, and they got compliments too from their friends. I always pick things thinking if I would wear them? If I like it, then I take it. 

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

I like high waist pleated skirts, especially with a gradient color. I think I’ve got 5 of them this season. They are perfect for spring/summer but also for autumn/winter if you match them with a long oversize shirt, cardigan, or sweater. 

I also like long shirts to match with a short vest, leggings, and combat boots. The neon trend in handbags and clothes is wonderful too. I think bright electric colors will be in trend in 2022 too.

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

Oversize sport suits hoodies and track pants. I have a couple of them myself. It’s very comfortable to travel or walk in the park, but just not flattering to the women’s body. And the weirdest trend for me is pajamas that style icons wear outside.

https://angieshowroom.com/

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

I would say find your style, look at your personality, your lifestyle, then at some trends, magazines, and people around you. You would notice similar styles and don’t be afraid to mix and match colors or textures. Don’t be boring 😊 The most important at the end is to feel comfortable and like yourself.

Who is your style icon and why?

I guess I live a bit in the past, but I love Audrey Hepburn's style. She was always so classy, elegant, and beautiful. Actually, if we look at her outfits nowadays, a lot of them are still very trendy or will never be out of fashion. 

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

I realize very few ladies own proper lingerie. Lingerie, when worn by you, where there is this glorious feeling, this confidence that builds from the inside because you know you look outstanding and only you know this. I am here to remind them that beauty begins underneath. So… what is underneath now? 


Thank you so much, Angelina, for taking the time to answer my questions. That Vivienne pajama set is pretty cool. Curious to see if people will comment on what they are wearing underneath. 😉

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

Where To Find Unique Acrylic Paintings - My painted Ladies

Hi There..... Are you a fan of art, or do you practice art, maybe? Have you ever made acrylic paintings?


I haven’t, but I have made art with pencils, ink, soft pastels, watercolor, and even oil painting but never tried to make acrylic paintings. You may wonder why on earth not? 😦

Well, starting as a young girl, I took several art classes until I had enough and stopped. Perhaps it was just not my thing? 😕

I love art, but it brought me things I just wasn’t looking for. Am I talking in riddles? Perfect, that was my intention. 😏

In the last art classes I took, there was this foolish man who literally had an eye on me. I was working on a drawing in soft pastel, and I didn’t even notice he was drawing my portrait. 😶

I took it as a compliment that he found me interesting enough to draw. If only it would have been just that. Next lesson, I could feel his eyes on me again, and the next, and the next. 😵

At the annual New Year’s celebration, everybody had been drinking wine, except me. So there I was, in the middle of a bunch of drunks, when he asked me for a kiss. Who was I to break his heart, so we passionately kissed for a few minutes? 😎

Ah, did you believe that? Come on, you have been reading too many romance novels. I declined, and that was the last time they saw me there. 😳

End of story, so high time to tell you about Kim, my Instagram friend, who makes acrylic paintings. 😍

About Kim

I’m Kim, a full-time artist currently working on a visual story of the lives of three friends in acrylic paintings. The “My Painted Ladies” series shares the unique experiences these colorful girls find in life… My aim is for viewers to find their own life connections with My Painted Ladies. This creates a more personal connection between the viewer and myself.  

I have created 43 acrylic paintings that I have professionally scanned to be made into different sized vinyl prints. Along with the prints, I create spiral notebooks, vinyl stickers, notecards, and Christmas cards. 

I am currently working on a My Painted Ladies’ coloring book, which I hope will be available this summer. My dream is to continue the ladies' adventures.


How it began

I just started My Painted Ladies in December 2019, right before the pandemic started in full force. Ever since my childhood, I have been creating art. I received a BFA from Wright State University in 1998 and in 2004 received a Master’s in Art Education at the University of Dayton. 

After teaching art for 10 years, my husband encouraged me to retire from teaching and work entirely on my artwork. This had been a dream of mine for a long time! 


The inspiration

What really inspired me to create My Painted Ladies was memories and what an important part of life they are to us. Memories connect us in different ways and are like a blueprint of a person’s being. 


Future events

Right now I’ve been accepted to the Americana Festival, 27 N Main St, Centerville Ohio on July 4, 2022. Hopefully, it will happen, because I was so disappointed in 2020 and 2021 when the Art vendors got canceled because of covid-19. 


Thank you, Kim, for sharing your story with us. I have been following you on Instagram for a very long time and see how you progressed. I admire your painting skills. Just click this link if you also want to follow her on Instagram. 😍

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