I have abnormally small wrists. Think the size of a three year old. I’ve measured, trust me. I mean, you can almost tell how small they are in the photo shown below with my friend Shannon here, when we met up at BlogHer in August.
A few months ago I was browsing on the Etsy site and found another fabulous shop. Not only do I love supporting Canadian Etsy seller but the three girls who run HelloBerry are located in Toronto! So so close to me. I definitely had to order some bracelets and I’ve been sporting them for a few weeks now. Here are mine on my wrist.
The good thing about the shop is that you can specify what size of bracelet you want. I got the small since I have toddler arms. There’s tons of varying sizes and colors to choose from as well as different finishes. I have two mini smoothies and a mini shake which is basically textured “gold”. You can kind of notice it if you click the image to enlarge it more.
A few of my friends have already perused HelloBerry and are thinking of picking up some bracelets for themselves, but for the rest of you who haven’t, get ready to shop your socks off!
I got my grubby little paws on the gorgeous shades of Mocha, Peach and London Fog. They don’t have a clasp, since the bracelets are made out of gimp (remember that??) they can stretch over your hand and onto your wrist. None of my bracelets have stretched out, nor has anything broken. Great little statement pieces for stacking on your wrists. They’ve gotten quite a bit of attention when I wear them, and people comment on how they remember making gimp bracelets and key chains when they were younger.
Seriously, the HelloBerry girls have serious wrist candy style and talent in designing jewelry. I’m loving everything from their collection!
Business cards: Think outside the box
Before I flew down to San Diego to attend BlogHer in August 2011 I knew that I wanted some social media business cards to hand out to companies, or new friends I was going to meet. I wanted something much more different than the usual business cards or the popular miniature business cards by moo cards.

As a Graphic Designer, I’m constantly having to think outside the box, to better myself and the company I work for. Especially if I want to create new and exciting campaigns.
Which is what I did for my business cards that have my e-mail, website and twitter handle.
I had the design in my head for a while and ended up designing it in an afternoon. I love simple, clean and classic looks. I’ve been told I have a very corporate sense of style with my designs. Which I think are classic and timeless. Sure I do from time-to-time break out of my regime and go for something trendy with designs. But for my business cards, I wanted it to stand out, but be classy. Know what I mean?
I was always so hesitant on sharing my buttons anywhere on the internet for fear of people stealing the idea of business cards on buttons. But I received a ton of positive feedback when handing it out to people. I noticed that when others were putting their business cards in for a draw, or handing it to someone after speaking with them. They never glanced at it. When I handed mine to someone, it never went ignored. People looked at it, felt it, turned it over and gave me a compliment at how eye catching and different it was.
So here it is. My business card button that I made on Six Cent Press, it cost forty bucks for 100 one inch buttons. It wasn’t that expensive either, when you think about it. I think I heard about the URL from my old Graphic Design classmate, and wonderful designer Geri.

ANOTHER surprise giveaway for you guys today! I didn’t realize that Tropicana wanted me to publish my blog post before the end of January so here I am trying to get this together for you guys. My coupons haven’t arrived in the mail yet—they’re getting sent in from the United States. But I wanted to post the giveaway up so you guys can be eligible to win a $50 Spa & Wellness Gift Cards by Spa Week.
I also wanted to mention the new juice that came out which is called Trop50. It has 50% less sugar and calories with no artificial sweeteners. You can even get a coupon code for $1.00 off Trop50 and enter a sweepstakes for a $1000 gift card (no purchase necessary). You just have to tell them what your New Years resolution was. It ends today though, so hurry on over and see Official Rules for details.
What is Trop50?
The reason I had no trouble posting the giveaway is that I remember trying the Trop50 juice out back in August when I was in San Diego for BlogHer, not that you guys would be getting it – the winner remember will get a $50 gift card to Spa Week. Back to Trop50: It was refreshing, and I remember drinking the pink flavored one which is appropriately called pink lemonade.
1 Winner will be chosen for the $50 gift card, and it’s only open to residents of the USA. Enter below: Â
