Essential Oil Infusion Necklaces

Our newest product we are offering are Essential Oil Infusion Necklaces.  I was personally introduced to essential oils a few years ago, but wasn't super excited about them.  I just didn't understand their benefits, or even how to use them.  Recently this summer I went to a class hosted by one of my friends and learned about one essential oil company: doTERRA.  I learned how to use their oils, what benefits they have for our bodies, and why people are so interested in a more wholes-tic natural way to help with whole body wellness.

I am not here to sell Essential Oils.  But I am here to offer necklaces that use essential oils to help benefit our bodies, in a fun, creative fashion statement.  If you are interested in learning more about essential oils, want to know how to buy them at a wholesale price with the option of getting 10-30% more off on the wholesale price.  Follow this LINK to a local doTERRA rep, who helps share essential oils from the doTERRA company.  Or you can find them on Facebook HERE.

My necklaces come in 2 sizes: Small for topical/ aromatic uses.  Large for aromatic uses only.
The necklaces take 4-6 drops of oil for a 12 hour application.  Then reapply.  Some oils are stronger/ have more heat which means they will last 12-24 hours before needing to be reapplied.  I am still experimenting with which oils last for what amounts of time.  So here is a short list of what I have learned so far.

Lemon: 12 hours, 4-6 drops 

Lavender: 12 hours, 4-6 drops

Peppermint: 16 hours, 4 drops

Wild Orange: 16 hours, 4-6 drops

A Show, a Shot, a Future

What an incredible weekend!  It was awesome!  So, we went to the Wake Forest Bazaar, got a really good spot in the parking lot, set up quickly, and were all ready for customers at a good hour Saturday morning.  For this, our first ever out door show, we created a super fun sign letting everyone know who we are, and help bring people in to the craft show.

 It is a hand painted canvas sign, with a light weight plastic wood frame, that we were able to hang from our canopy.  I love the sunglasses on our sign!  I thought about hot gluing shells onto the corners of the canvas, but it was so hot outside that I'm sure the hot glue would have melted.

This was a really fun experience being outside for once.  We learned that we can set up and take down pretty fast.  We also have a few new items to add to our wish list for when we start doing outdoor craft shows more often.  In fact, we thought it would be fun for you all to see what our wish list is, so we created a whole new page just for that.  That way if you want to donate for our cause we'd love your support!  Or you can see what the money we bring in goes towards, aside from supplies to create beautiful works of art!

We had 3 tables set up this craft show, which was really great.  That allowed us to dedicate one table for jewelry, one table for paintings, and one table for our essential oil necklaces with the oils as a draw people in with.  The oil raffle was the biggest hit on Saturday!  In fact, everyone kept asking why we weren't selling our jewelry, art, and necklaces in The Cotton Company.  So hopefully we'll be able to get in there eventually.  We asked and all the booths are full for the next few months.  So for now we'll continue sharing, and gifting, and selling online!

While at our craft show, we met a famous local Artist, who gave us a special invitation only, ticket to get our hand crafted jewelry into our local community better than we are now!  So excited for this wonderful opportunity.  It is a shot in the dark to see what and how it will happen.  But it is also a huge blessing for the future of Sand Glasses Design!

Local Gig and a Birthday

Super excited that we have another gig coming up.  We have so much product this time around, I don't think we'll need to make any or much to get ready for this gig.  We have 2 weeks, and that day is going to be a busy one with work, a dinner party, and our gig.  I think we'll need to start prepping everything now!

So on July 18 we're doing a gig at the Wake Forest Bazaar in Historic down town Wake Forest.  Totally excited, because its also my Mother's birthday.  She has been a huge support, in helping me throughout my whole life.  Its awesome to have such a great Mother!  So in honor of her, we will run a special sale, and do another awesome raffle!

How do you honor your Mother?  What memories of her and you together stick out in your mind?  What type of jewelry does she love most?  What type of jewelry do you love?  Do you feel like she influences your fashion?

~Enjoy~ we're off to start an organized plan of prepping!
