Etsy : Difference Makes Us

As I have already alluded to, I love Etsy. Whenever I want to buy practically anything, Etsy is always my first port of call. Makeup, clothes, art, jewellery, food - you name it, I have purchased it.

And the latest Etsy campaign, Difference Makes Us, celebrating everyone's uniqueness is the exact reason I am obsessed with the site, and sellers thereon.

Everyone needs to head over to the page and check out the campaign video - Just today someone commented on how my mug at work was so me.

So I spent one lunch break considering what differences make me me and I came up with a few....

I am an accountant ……. but i'm covered in tattoo’s

I don’t like horror movies……. But I’m obsessed with Jack the Ripper.

I have to dress smart for work…….. but I always add a twist

Ear Jackets Marble Circle Hoop Bar Minimal Front Back Earrings Industrial Modernist

The list is endless, just considering the differences between myself and my husband would result in a list that goes on and on but to name just a few

I believe in aliens and ghosts and he doesn’t

I like milky tea, he has his black

He plays computer games, I read

so to conclude in the words of Dr Seuss…

In case you were wondering , the mug in question was from Etsy but the shop no longer exists #sadface

What makes you unique?

Do you have a favourite Etsy item or seller that expresses you perfectly?

Etsy : The perfect place for a unique Advent Calendar

Over the past few years, I have shared with you my favourite unique Christmas cards, stocking fillers and tree decorations, all available from Etsy This year I want to share my favourite advent calendars. Maybe like me, your children are growing up and so they will appreciate a unique advent calendar for the treat it is, or maybe you would like the joy your family members get from opening their gifts to extend beyond the one day, or perhaps (also like me) you just want to treat yourself a little bit. The possibilities with Etsy really are endless, and there are many more options than those that I am sharing, so I would highly encourage everyone to grab a cup of their favourite hot beverage and spend a fun 30 minutes persuing these sellers, and many more besides that. For the foodies, I have a list of food-based calendars that contain items such as pork scratching and cheddar cheese, alongside those containing the more traditional chocolate options. Cheesies Advent Calendar £32.50

Spring Summer 2017 Beauty trends

As I mentioned the other day in my Miles Donovan post now Christmas is behind us I am starting to think about my wardrobe (clothing and beauty) for Spring/Summer. As I am keener to experiment with my makeup than my clothing (office day job and strong reliance on black clothes that cover my belly) I paid most attention to the makeup looks and have I picked a few (more) of those that I would like to try to share with you. Do you change your look each season or do you have a go-to look you stick with? What is your favourite spring/summer product? Tessa

Get That Glow // Highlighters with a twist

Gone are the days that highlighting was left to the professional makeup artists on magazine shoots. Now highlighting is a day to day occurrence for most of us I love that the trend has evolved enough to provide those of us who don't want a gold champagne shimmer. Some of us are aiming for extraterrestrial realness (maybe that's just me) so the colours now available are perfect and when they come in a palette as beautiful as the Blacklight Highlight - 6 Color Palette from BH Cosmetics (and for only $16.99 !!!) you really can't go wrong. Whilst I try and sort the area in my room for shooting beauty pictures I thought I would share just a few of the items on my highlight wishlist. Are there any highlighters on your wishlist at the moment? Tessa
