    EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!

    I got to design my own bead with OHM Beads!

    I made a quick video to share my exciting news with you! You can watch it HERE or down below:

    After watching the video…

    Here are some photos taken back on August 29th. I was at a local cafe, enjoying the end of summer while sketching out some more ideas for my OHMistry Project bead: DON’T GIVE UP. Also, can you spot my mini poodle puppy Ella, on my lap? She’s such a cutie!

    My OHMistry Project bead is called, DON’T GIVE UP. It is a silver oxidized bead and will be releasing on June 19th, 2020 at 10:00 AM Pacific. As per the OHMistry Project beads, it is a limited edition bead! There will only be 111 made…which makes it extra special!

    Over the next few weeks, I will continue to share the journey of designing this bead with OHM Beads, the inspiration/story behind it, as well as an unboxing and detailed look at this bead! At the present moment, I am waiting for my bead to arrive, so I can see it for the first time! I cannot wait to hold it and see all the special details in person.

    Since I don’t have the bead to share with you yet, here is a little look at one of my first sketches:

    I also just wanted to say again: a HUGE thank you to OHM Beads and each and every one of you. This is the craziest dream come true and I cannot believe it! Thank you sooo so much. I truly hope you will love this bead. xo

    As all of you know, I am a HUGE tea addict and I have embarrassingly large cupboards of teas (yes, I said cupboards). But not to worry, they are all organized by tea type (green, oolong, black, etc.) as well tea bags and loose leaf teas. It is very safe for me to say that I could probably open up my own tea shop, with the amount of teas I have!

    Am I the only one? Do you have a large tea cupboard? Or cupboards?!

    One of the reasons I love tea is because of the experiences that goes along with it.

    Here are some of my favourite tea experiences:

    – the art of making tea is a relaxing experience that provides a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of every day life. I love preparing the perfect cup of tea or tea latte. It is a time to stay present, in the moment!

    – designing with the OHM Alice in Wonderland collection

    – picking out the perfect mug or tea cup is such a fun experience!

    – afternoon tea or high tea is honestly the BEST way to catch up with loved ones and create memories to last a life time!

    – having a friend over for tea!

    – after dinner dessert…usually mean tea! And usually means time with love ones!

    – TEA PARTIES!!!!

    – going to a local tea shop and smelling and sampling hundreds of amazing teas…one of the best ways to spend an hour, if you ask me!

    – grabbing a tea-to-go and going for walk in a winter wonderland or on an autumn day…nothing quite like it!

    – bubble tea or iced tea…on a hot summer’s day. Again…nothing quite like it!

    – sharing a cup of tea with a guinea pig named, Harlow. THE BEST!

    – Unboxing a tea order! OR…the OHM Tea Bag BOTM Bead!!!!

    What are some of your favourite tea experiences?

    As mentioned, OHM Beads is giving away the OHM Tea Bag BOTM (Bead of the Month)! This is one of my favourite OHM Beads and is an incredible experience to unbox. If you’d like to watch my first impressions and unboxing of this bead, you can watch it HERE or down below:

    Beads & Tea | Ohm Beads – Beads and Coffee

    Beads and Tea with DailyCharmAddict and ACharmedDreamer

    On December 20th, I woke up feeling SO excited! Today was the day I would get to see my dear bead friends, Angie and Rita!!! And not only that, but also enjoy some Ohm Beads #BeadsandCoffee, or how I like to call it: Beads and TEA!!!

    We all decided to meet up at my favourite hometown coffee shop, Matter of Taste. There are two locations and we decided to meet up at the Waterloo location. I have been going to Matter of Taste since I was in high school and since moving away, it has become a special place to visit, whenever I am in-town!

    When Angie, Rita and I met up, we caught up with each other first, ordered our drinks (tea lattes for Angie and I and a latte for Rita) and I gave them some special Christmas surprises to open!

    Opening up some Christmas surprises!

    And then it was time to start designing over some Beads, Coffee and Tea!!!

    Cheers!!!!

    Ohm Beads sent me a new bead concept called, “Ocean Love”. It is a new style of clip for them (more similar to a Pandora clip) and they wanted our feedback on the function, design and style! Please note, this bead has not been released. If you would like to watch our video adventures together, as well as see their designs, check out my Instagram Stories: Beads and Coffee. I unfortunately didn’t think of taking photos of their designs, just video!

    Below, you can see my design:

    Here are some of my bead styling ideas. I really liked the idea of pairing the Ocean Clip with Ohm Odette.
