Self Branding


Allow me to introduce myself again- in ink! No, I was not brave enough to go out and get a tattoo for three reasons- money (lack of), I'm a chicken (don't like needles of any form) and I change my mind too much (yes, I'm a Gemini), so I don't like the idea of a permanent accessory stuck to my skin. I do love tattoo's (my favorite show is Miami Ink- go watch it) and believe they are an amazing art form, but for me, and the reasons I just mentioned, this is the next best thing- and it comes off in the shower!
A self inking stamp!




I ordered this stamp to use for my accessories business (of the same name) and when it arrived, I thought what better way to promote it, then to wear it as an accessory itself! Plus, you can style it up with other accessories too! It also helps to introduce yourself at events and parties when people only know you by your Twitter name, all with just a flick of the wrist!




So the next time you are bored or having an afternoon slump at the office, why not amuse yourself with some stamps. My personal favorites used to be 'Void', 'Draft' and 'Processed'. The ink levels on those might have suffered a bit. But a lot of fun. 
What would you stamp yourself with? Get stamping!

A Bright New Year!


Hello Readers! I am so excited to be able to bring you this post, on the first day of my newly (re-installed) internet in my home! You may recall that I have been most frustrated being without internet now for almost 3 months as my former (so nice to say that now) provider has caused me much grief and left me without any service. You don't realise how much you depend on it until it's gone, a saying true to most things, so today when two very lovely gentlemen rectified that for me and I saw the lights flash on my new modem I swear it felt like Christmas again!




It got me thinking that sometimes in life you can feel as though you have been dealt a bad hand. 


And then other times, you look down and see that it is as bright as you wish to see it. Hence, I have painted my nails in as many of the brightest colours that I have to start the year off with a bright, hopeful and optimistic mindset.


And it is when you are in that frame of mind, you come across all sorts of amazing things, like these sparklers I found in the sand at the beach yesterday. One week on from New Years and the sentiment still remains the same- let's party, let's get creative, stylish and have fun with whatever hand we get dealt.
