Shop Description:
I
have made my own cosmetics for a couple of years. Firstly for myself,
then for my friends and now for you. I try to use only natural and
organic ingredients, that I buy in organic shop in Latvia and in Europe.
Some ingredients I prepare myself. I pay special attention to products
for blemished, oily skin and skin with acne as this problem is familiar
to me. But I know that with properly selected means it can be solved and
you'll get healthy, good-looking and gentle skin! All products I do
first for myself, I test them and I am sure in their quality and effectiveness.
Where did you learn your craft?:
I am still learning, like all etsy sellers, I suppose. I have, in addition to my basic education (linguistics) nurse education. I read a lot of literature before starting making my own cosmetics. I pretty much read and constantly learn from my own experience and from the experience of others.
What inspires you?:
I love happy people, I love beautiful women and I think that nature have almost all to help us to stay young and be happy.
Biography:
From
early youth I have oily and acne prone skin. I have tried many
remedies, went to the doctors, but unfortunately, it's not really
helped. And one day I thought: "Maybe I can help me myself?" and then I
started to read books on dermatology and Cosmetology, interested in what
happens to the body and the skin, look for recipes. Gradually, I
realized that I could do for myself my own scrubs, creams and medicated
ointments.
Later, I became interested in
other cosmetics (for hair and body). I started to study and this side of
Cosmetology. Many of my friends have become "trailblazers" because I
gave them my new developments and insistently ask their opinion to
improve what I do.
Recently I realized that I can help not only myrself, but also to
make anyone's life more easier and the skin more beautiful. Then I
opened the shop.
I have,
in my opinion, a very mundane history: first you do something for
yourself, then for friends and then you want to share your knowledge
with everyone else.

Featured Shop: Bead Lovers Korner
Shop Description:
I design and make beaded jewelry, beaded accessories like key
chains and bookmarks and I also make rosaries and prayer beads. I am also and
authorized dealer for Carlo Biagi Beads and Landmark Beads, both brands are high
quality sterling silver European style beads. Last but no least I carry some
jewelry supplies for other jewelry designers.
Where did you learn your craft:
About 12-13 years ago I became enamored with beads and took a
couple of classes in Orlando, Florida. I had done some beading as a craft when I
was younger, along with other types of art, but really liked the idea of making
my own jewelry and decorations so I took the classes in Orlando. To enhance my
knowledge of precious metals, beads and jewelry I also took the Accredited
Jewelry Professional course with the Gemological Institute of America and
received my diploma in 2009.
What inspires you?:
I can’t really put my finger on any one thing that inspires me...
designs and ideas just kind come to me at different times. The more I handle
different beads, the more ideas I get and I have been known to sketch out an
idea, put it aside and then come back to it when I am ready. I really try to
make beaded creations that have meaning or a purpose, and sometimes they are
goofy or nerdy, but you never know who might be looking for just what you are
making.
Biography:
I have been beading and selling beads for over 12 years and love
what I do. About three years ago I quit my full time day job and have been
trying to make ends meet with my jewelry and beads. While I am by no means
“raking in the bucks”, I am able to contribute to the household budget and keep
my little business going. I love working for myself and have a schedule I try to
follow every day and I am so much happier than I used to be working for other
people. This year I was accepted into the Artisan Group and have learned so much
more about promotion and designs from all of the talented artists in the group.
Earlier this year I had the opportunity to send one of my earring
designs as part of a Stylist Gift Bag
initiative, coordinated by The Artisan Group®, to the Wardrobe Stylist of the
hit TV series “The Vampire Diaries”. My “Eternal Reflection Earrings” were
chosen by the stylist and worn by Elena (actress Nina Dobrev) in the recent
episode “True Lies” (Episode 5:2) which aired on October
10th.
