I am so fascinated by this beautiful and MUCH NEEDED shop, I had to find out more about the wonderful lady behind it, so we asked her to share a little about herself. This is what she had to say:



I am a lifelong artist and nature enthusiast turned entrepreneur. I have always had a passion for natural alternatives and have recently channeled that love into an expanding line of 100% natural, gourmet skin care products.

Discovering natural alternatives to unhealthy, chemically saturated products is a pursuit
that was fostered by my grandmother many years ago. I found it amazing that her home remedies could be so effective and that nature could be so powerfully beneficial.
It is with that fascination that I have created my collection of 100% natural skin care products. All of my products contain ingredients that are proven to be nourishing, therapeutic, and effective. They have been carefully formulated to feel luxurious, smell delicious, and make your skin glow with youthful, radiant health!

In addition to the fun I have researching and developing new products, I love the challenge of creating beautiful labels for each new item. All of my labels are partial images of my collage artwork. My new baby and kid line gave me the opportunity to create collages specifically for those products. I feel like each product deserves its own unique look which is why I devote so much time to the process. I thoroughly enjoy every step that goes into launching a new product....the learning, the procuring of ingredients, the testing, the challenge of finding appropriate packaging, and finally the creating of an imaginative and beautiful label. The effort has paid off....I have received an overwhelmingly positive response and my business has grown beyond what I could have imagined!

Please feel free to contact me with your questions or comments. Salon and spa wholesale inquiries and custom orders always welcome!

"We live in Chicago and have two wonderful children.  When my now 6 year old daughter started teething, she was drooling a lot.  I was on a search for something cute to absorb it all.  So we came up with the bibs, we have expanded into burpies and blankets.  We will soon be out with our birthday hats and picnic blankets.   Our bibs have become the bib that parents save for the "going out" bib."

Lets find out a little more about NICOLESBREASTFRIEND!

     1.       Tell us a little bit about YOU.

I am originally from Jamaica. I have been drawing and creating since I was a little girl. I graduated with a bachelors in fine arts. I have sold my art with furniture stores, target.com costco.com and several private customers. I also do something called belly casting, where I cast a pregnant mommy and create art on it. All of this can be seen on my website, www.visualparadiseinc.com But one of my other true passions is sewing. When I was a little girl I remember my grandmother teaching me how to sew quilts before she passed away from breast cancer. I used to make little outfits  and diapers for my dolls while most kids would be outside.

2.     Tell us about your shop and or blog

My shop is www.etsy.com/shop/nicolesbreastfriends . Recently after having 2 little ones, I became interested in cloth diapering and eco-friendly ways to save money. I was spending a lot of money on disposable breast pads and decided to sew some for myself. I really liked the way they came out and decided to start selling them on etsy, along with other mommy/baby related items.

3.     When did you first begin to create?

I have always had my hand in sewing here and there. I guess I could say since I was a young girl.

           4.      How would you describe the items you make?

      Earth friendly, yet vibrant, hip, and fun.

5.      From where does your inspiration come?

      I have always been an artistic person, I have to thank God for that! I think a lot of my inspiration and what I am attracted to as far as patterns, derives from nature.

6.      What is your one most cherished possession and why?

      Hmmm that’s a hard one, I can’t think of anything at the moment, I really appreciate all that I have, If I could say one thing maybe it would be my talent. Why, I am thankful that God gave me this talent, which allows me to stay at home with my family and make money from doing what I love.

7.      What do you like to do when you are not creating or blogging?

      Spending time with family is important to me, we don’t have to do anything special, just as long as we are together.

8.      Tell us a little about where you live in this big ol world.

      I live in South Florida where it is sunny most of the time. I have only seen snow once and was happy to go back to the warm weather. Although I am thin blooded, I still enjoy seeing new places.

9.      Where would you like to see yourself in five years?

       Continuing to do what I love and being successful at it. Painting, sewing, creating…

10.     Tell us what your ideal weekend would consist of. 

      Going to the beach and relaxing, hanging out with friends and family.  And of course creating!!

Where can we find you?

Letter Kay answered some of our blog feature questions...



1. Tell us a little bit about YOU.

Well, where to begin with describing me? ☺ I am a recent college graduate, graduating with a BFA in Studio Art. I work at my local church helping with art and print projects. I guess you could say I am a bit of an etsy addict – I get home from work and spend most of the evening on etsy or working on orders, but I love it! I love being productive!

2. Tell us about your shop and or blog

My shop is full of things that I love or would use ☺ I’ve always loved vintage items and thought I’d put that love to good use and start selling it! I love the look of the stamps too. I like to create things people can use – not just to look at. 

3. When did you first begin to create?

I have always loved making things ever since I was a child. Popsicle sticks, tissue paper, and glue were some of my best friends! I recently graduated with a BFA in Studio Art, concentrating on painting and installation sculpture. I took a printmaking class a year or so ago and this gave me the idea for the stamps that I create. I love making things and trying out new ideas and techniques! 

4. What do you like to do when you are not creating or blogging?

Hmm…I’m almost always working on something. I do go to my regular job during the day where I help with graphic design, producing booklets and other print jobs. When I get home I sit down and relax by either watching a favorite show or a bit of a BBC movie and drinking a cup of coffee. Then I get back to work either editing photos or carving stamps. As weird as it may sound, I find carving stamps a bit soothing. The repetition and quietness allows me to think, or not think if I don’t want to. 

5. Tell us a little about where you live in this big ol world.

I live in a bit of a small city – I guess it’s not that small, but I lived close to Dallas for about 10 years so it seems it. I love where I live though. It’s not too busy, but not too slow either. There isn’t a whole lot to do, but I’m able to do what I love. Most importantly, the people are friendly! 

6. Where would you like to see yourself in five years? 

In five years I’d like to be teaching art and own a little shop. I’d love to teach art to elementary children – I love their imaginations and you never know what will come out of their mouths next. They are so amusing! Another dream of mine is to open my own store. Ideally, it would sell handmade and vintage items. 

7. Tell us what your ideal weekend would consist of.

My ideal weekend would consist of sipping coffee on the front porch, going to my favorite flea markets and estate sales, getting some work done, and then settling down on the couch to watch a good movie. I know it sounds like all I do is watch movies, but really I don’t ☺ It is what helps me relax though.

Featured Shop for the Shoe Lovers!

Here's an interesting little shop titled RhinestoneRevolution!!

The name says it all!  This little shop Can Rhinestone just about anything... including shoes, belts, masks, glasses and phones!

The Rhinestone Duo is giving our readers a 10% discount using coupon code RRR10 !!

Unique in their style, this team is definitely starting a revolution,
a Rhinestone Revolution!
We wanted to know more about the people behind this shop... so we asked them the following questions!

1. Tell us a little bit about YOU! Rachel and I are cousins. Rachel is from Baltimore and I (Nicole) are from Toronto and we are both university students. We love fashion and we LOVE shoes!
2. Tell us about your shop! It all started when we walked into an expensive shoe store and saw the most gorgeous shoes! They were black wedge heels covered in coloured stones, they were also $300. We thought "Hey! We can do that ourselves!" and our first pair of rhinestone shoes were born. We received such positive feedback that we knew we had to share our shoes with others. That is when we started our shop Rhinestone Revolution!
3. When did you first begin to create? We are both creative people and like experimenting in different areas. Rachel loves cooking and baking and I love writing. Working with our hands is another creative outlet we love which led us to make our own shoes.
4. How would you describe the items you make? The items we make are all about letting loose. Our rhinestones are different colours and sizes and no two items are ever the same. They sparkle and shine and draw attention! We love making them and we love wearing them!
5. From where does your inspiration come? Our inspiration originally came from the shoes we saw in the expensive shoe store when we realized that amazing shoes do not need to be over priced! We go window shopping for our inspiration now. If we see something we like and know we can rhinestone it we'll buy it.
6. What is your one most cherished possession and why? We love our pets, I don't know if that is considered a possession but nonetheless we love them. I have two dogs and Rachel has a dog and a rabbit.
7. What do you like to do when you are not creating? We love baking and relaxing on the beach. We love going to festivals where people exhibit their hand made items. And we love surfing etsy!
8. Tell us a little about where you live in this big OL world! Rachel is from Baltimore where the inner harbour is a beautiful place to hang out. I am from Toronto which is where both of us are living now. Toronto is a great place to draw inspiration from! We love visiting all the amazing places it has to offer like Little India, where everything glitters and our Harbourfront where the international Festival exhibits things from around the world.
9. Where would you like to see yourself in five years?  We both hope to be independent business owners. Our futures are still in the air but we wouldn't be happy unless we were being creative.
10. Tell us what your ideal weekend would consist of. Our ideal weekend would consist of us making shoes in the sun!
