reija — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 22:17:40 +0000

Vibrant ethnic prints are the trend now seen across many runway collections. These beautiful prints are used from clothing to shoes and accessories. Reija Eden Jewelry just added 2 necklaces to embrace the tribal print trend. The best part about these necklaces is that they are made with Fair Trade ceramic beads from Kenya, Africa. These beads help women in Africa earn fair trade wages and better their families lives. Let’s be fashionable and help a great cause together! Get yours before they are gone!

Fair Trade Beads

I recently was able to purchase some Fair Trade paper beads imported from Uganda as well as hand painted ceramic beads from Kenya, Africa. These fair trade beads are handmade by women and by making these beads, the women earn fair wages, giving them a chance to better their lives. I’m so excited to be able to help these women by using these beads in my designs. When you are purchasing a design from Reija Eden Jewelry that is made with fair trade beads, you can also make a difference in these women and their families lives. Let’s make a difference together!

New Years Resolutions – She Rocks Fitness

reija — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 21:57:38 +0000

The new year is upon us and it’s time for new year’s resolutions. I actually stopped making resolutions years ago because I never could stay on track. For that reason, my new years resolutions started early last year, when I started going to the gym regularly before the holidays. I figured that this way I could prevent the few pound gain over the holidays and eat what I wanted without worrying too much. A friend of mine got me going to this new workout place and it’s the best workout I’ve ever done. It gives FAST results and it’s only 35 minutes long. Being a mother of 3 children, it’s hard for me to find the time to exercise and this workout is perfect for me. The place is called She Rocks Fitness in Huntington Beach, CA. Michael, the owner, and Kimberly are the best instructors. They keep you motivated and know just how to push you to keep going when all you can think about is stopping. She Rocks Fitness is women only place which is what I prefer. I like working out with other women who have the same goal in mind and just when you think you want to quit, you won’t, because someone next to your isn’t either. I have no affiliation with She Rocks Fitness other than I’m a happy customer who is fitting better in my skinny jeans and feeling stronger than I have in years. I’m finally getting my core back to being strong again after having my children. I can’t rave enough about She Rocks Fitness, it has done wonder’s for my body and I highly recommend the place if you live nearby. There is no reason to waste time at a typical gym when you can do this workout and get results way faster. I used to go to the gym so I’ve done both. Nothing compares to this bootcamp type kettle bell workout. Kettle bells are the trend now because they have proven to give results way better than traditional weights do. What is your favorite workout? How often do you workout in a week?

Best Cupcakes In Newport Beach, CA

reija — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 21:47:59 +0000

I was out shopping with my daughter today and ended up going to Casey’s Cupcakes in Fashion Island, Newport Beach. I ended up tasting the dark chocolate cupcake and I have to say it was the best tasting cupcake I’ve had. I’m not a big fan of cupcakes but this was really was worth eating. If you are ever in Newport Beach, I highly recommend checking out Casey’s Cupcakes. My 5-year old daughter even said that it was the best cupcake she was ever had. I also loved the pink decorations in the store. The cupcake container was so cute and had a mention of being Cupcake Wars “Walk of Fame” Winner 2011. I watched the Cupcake Wars show with my daughter but must have missed this episode with Casey’s Cupcakes.

Loyly Spa

I was glad to see a spa called Loyly being featured in the latest Dr. Hauscka skin care line newsletter. Loyly is a finnish word that has to do with sauna. Since I was born and raised in Finland sauna is close to my heart. I’m so glad to see a spa named after the word and the spa seems to really capture the true atmosphere of a spa with it’s simplistic and relaxing ambiance as well as the nature of Finland. I haven’t had the opportunity to personally experience this spa but I’ll be sure to visit it if my travels take me to Oregon one day. I love the fact that they carry Dr. Hauscka line because it’s such a wonderful organic skin care brand. I’m a big fan of organic skin care due to potential breast cancer risk of commercial skin care products.

Argentium Sterling Silver

reija — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 15:01:11 +0000

I’m excited to use argentium sterling silver in my designs because argentium sterling is brighter, it’s non-tarnish and it’s made from recycled silver making it eco-friendly. Here are some further facts about argentium sterling silver.

Why is Argentium silver brighter and whiter than other precious metals?
Argentium’s unique formulation enhances the appearance of the silver, giving an incredible natural brightness and lustrous beauty that outshines white gold, platinum and even traditional sterling silver.

Argentium – responsible silver
Why is there a growing demand for responsible silver?
There is an increasing awareness and demand for the preservation of our natural environment – to conserve energy and natural resources and to reduce waste and pollution. Some practices in the silver industry use toxic chemicals and hazardous procedures for removing firestain – a penetrating, dark coloured oxide that forms when sterling silver is heated during manufacturing processes. Such practices are undesirable in the workplace and the disposal of toxic waste products also raises environmental concerns. Over the last few years, there has been an increasing awareness about the anti-allergy benefits of nickel-free silver.

What makes Argentium silver responsible?
Argentium guarantees traceability of its raw silver. It is certified that Argentium is produced using only recycled silver. Argentium alloys do not contain nickel.

Gorgeous Collection By Serena & Lily

reija — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:09:41 +0000

If you are looking for design inspirations and products for home, Serena & Lily is a great place for embracing the West Coast lifestyle. Their latest collection called Marbella features gorgeous prints in gold and turquoise as well as beautiful patterns. Serena & Lily cover everything from paints to fabrics and furniture and accessories. I’m inspired by the Marbella Collection and I’m in the process of creating jewelry pieces that are inspired by this collection. I’m using Peruvian Chalcedony gemstones for the designs because the color is just so beautiful. Paired with gold it’s a winning combination. My favorite item of the Marbella Collection is the Owl napkins because of the colors and the print.

Vintage Beads From Italy

reija — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 20:42:45 +0000

I found some italian vintage beads and I can’t wait to get to work and create beautiful jewelry out of them. I’m just waiting on my shipment to arrive. I fell in love with these beads because of the colors and the fact that they were made in Italy mostly in the late 70s and early 80s. My ideas for the beads are earrings and necklaces. The beads are acrylic but vintage which makes them so fun to work with. Using vintage beads is a great way to create eco-friendly jewelry as well since the beads used in designs are repurposed not new. Be sure to check back for the new designs soon.
