sweet talk

a recent purchase I have to share

the other day I ordered a lavender liner online from sommer designs. I have to say while it looked really nice online, it was even better live. the liner smells SO amazing, and I love being able to see the lavender buds through the mesh. the wrapping is also really pretty making it a perfect gift for yourself or someone else!

what's involved with designing eco-friendly jewelry?

one of my goals is to create eco-friendly jewelry. I am still researching the best way to go about this... for now I have started by ordering 100% recycled metal, metal that is from the earth's existing supply. I also plan to partner with eco-friendly vendors, though I still have a lot to research in terms of what criteria my vendors and I should meet to become eco-friendly. for now it will be one step at a time...

translate text or web pages

I may be the last person to discover google translate, but this saved me on a project where I needed to translate english into spanish and spanish into english. it can also translate blogs and websites!
