Product Review: Goo Gone Citrus Gel Spray

 

As you may know, I  keeping making candles and since then making candles have  getting a bit more messy. It's hard to take off the wax at times especially when it goes on the  counter!  So   after using my own  cleaning supplies, I was getting annoyed. That is until I goggled  up on  how to take off this candle wax.  I ran across this article and I finally decided  to invest in a bottle of Goo Gone.   This stuff really works... I was a bit surprised but  when anything is really sticking , all  I have to do is spray on it  and  wipe away and its gone.  Now if  its been a while that its been sticky then I

Shop Feature : Calluna Muse + Giveaway

This weeks Shop feature is Calluna Muse by Heather. She  designs  some wonderful earrings using  beads and Nymo nylon thread.  Pretty neat if you ask me.  Heather  has been  kind  enough to  give a  pair of lovely   earrnigs  from her shop as well.  But first, lets  get to know more about her and her lovely work! :)

1. How did you come up with the Name of your Shop

I am named after a flower, Heather, and the

Latin term is Calluna Vulgaris. So, I dropped

the Vulgaris (for obvious reasons, yikes!) and added

Muse because I've always loved the idea of

a 'muse'.




2. Tell us a little bit about your shop and what you think makes it unique?

I wanted it to be a different take on beaded

jewelry. I've done it all my life and I was

looking for a modern feel. Some

new designs and a different twist on older designs. I think it has a nice

feel between being on par with current

trends but also allowing you to be

unique and maybe also start your

own trends! And who doesn't want

to be a trendsetter!

Reinventing Passion Product line

One thing that I have learned as I own a shop is to make changes to items when  necessary.  It's nice to always  improve my items along the way even if that means to change the  formula  of  my one my products. So after months of thinking, I  reinvented the passion candle. I realize that more requests were about trying to draw their  special someone closer to them. Let me say, it took me a few months to  reinvent the passion oil along with it  but after changing  it and  redoing the  description, this  candle has been a  hot  item that I am consistently making. My passion oil  now it more of a musky scent ( quite spicy)  and when you wear it,  don't be surprise  if you  get people's attention easily.  I have worn the oil before and just gone shopping for groceries, and it makes people eye on you. Even  wearing it can get you in the mood for the  bedroom if you choose to do so with your partner.

1. How did you come up with the Name of your Shop 
Kreativ Case was "kreated" - get it? :) - when I tried to come up with a name that best highlighted the unique and personalized items that I make. I wanted to put a little spin on it and make it a bit querky.

2. Tell us a little bit about your shop and what you think makes it unique?

My shop combines two natural wants from a smartphone user when shopping for a case - durability and style. I feel like it's important to protect your phone because it's one of your biggest investment, but at the same time, you should have a pretty case! Some cases out there are cute, but don't have the type of protection my cases offer.

1. How did you come up with the Name of your Shop

My shop name is derived from a roadside gypsy magic trick that gained popularity in the 20th century called the Gypsy Thread, wherein the magician would seem to tear a string into many small pieces, then magically join them back together.I saw this as a metaphor for fashion and a perfect name for the vintage bohemian collection that I have created.


2. Tell us a little bit about your shop and what you think makes it unique?

I have a very good eye for high quality authentic vintage pieces that demonstrate versatility and character. My very dear friend helps me to style the models that generously share their time with me as I try to convey the period and personality of each piece.

If I Wasn't Psychic...

 

If I wasn't Psychic,  I say I be a Flutist.  Gosh  every time I look back my flute, I  think of all the wonderful memories I had  in  being in the band. I don't care if I was called a band geek either. It was just nice to be part of the world of music.   I remember working so hard to work  prove to  people I could  play the  flute. People didn't believe I had the talent back then but it was my  passion and love for this  instrument that kept me going to where it defined me for who I am today.  Granted it took me a few years to get to  make it first chair, I was always proud of being able to play the instrument. It was the one class I look forward to doing.
