Birthday month has begun

That time of the year has finally arrived. It has felt like forever since this time last year. Now bear in mind that this time last year, this blog did not exist, I only started putting the site together on the 12th of March 2019, so next Thursday marks a year since this journey of the store began. It was a longer journey than I expected but it was worth it because I wanted it to be the most amazing experience for each and every one of you. To have reached over 1000 site users in less than 9 months, it has been a whirlwind of note. Since sharing the individual products have been getting shared to my social media, it has also been a huge help. This store has also reached over 30 countries and over 160 cities from those countries.

I felt like it was time to go fully online as I wanted you all to have easy access to getting the products.

The brand has gained so much exposure in the last year and I couldn't be happier. I am so proud of how far things have come. Being able to celebrate my birthday this year knowing that I made a good choice to spread things as far as I have with very little paid advertising has been a blessing, I wanted things to be noticed in as real and natural a way as possible. I have gained so much confidence in the past year, it has actually shocked even me. I will admit that I was sometimes putting things off for doing things the way I am doing them now because in all honesty I was scared that it would take longer than it has but I am glad that the results came much faster than I expected and it makes me very happy.

One thing that has definitely helped in this journey has been #ootd. Here is today's

Mixing and matching colours and textures and getting the advice of posting up photos of me wearing the pieces that I make has been a huge help.

This is a close-up of today's piece that has been linked with #ootd today. It is the tree of life pendant necklace, a recent addition to the collection.

I really enjoyed making this piece. The tree of life is such a popular charm right now and combining it with these glass pearls makes it look so beautiful and unique. I love it. Get it in the store at www.blaze-designsza.com, there is only one. That is the idea behind custom made. I love doing things that not every body else does. I love to stand out from the crowd.

To bring you up to speed, here is another necklace that contains pearls, it is the piece with yesterday's #ootd, it is a real stunner as well.

I was actually quite glad to showcase each piece this way because I wanted to show everyone how easy it is to wear the pieces with any outfit or to any event. I do things this way because the purpose is more to match the piece to your personality and what you like wearing. There is a piece available for any style. I have made sure of that.

The online journey has only just begun but it is a journey that will continue to skyrocket as I go into more detail and show you that anything is possible with a piece from the collection. I like to be all inclusive and choosing to celebrate my #birthdaymonth is a reward to myself for never giving up on a dream of having a successful business that is of my own creation, thanks to a seed planted in my head by my mother back in 2011.

Thanks mom, I'll never forget it.

So, until next time, see y'all soon
