"Absolutely gorgeous! Not only are they beautiful but they are also so light. Necklaces with multiple strands are often heavy and I don't like that feeling of a noose around my neck! Your necklaces don't do that, they're an absolute delight"!

WORKING FROM HOME 🏡 Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would escape the corporate and be able run a business from home. It takes a lot of courage to give up a secure income and take the leap. But really it’s down to practicalities of whether you can afford to do it. If it wasn’t for the support of my husband, I wouldn’t be here, so I’m always so grateful to him that I have the opportunity. Some people continue to work full time, some go part- time, but what we have in common is that through some sort of journey, we’ve realised a passion for something. I quit the 9-5 because I wanted more. I was sick of the same routine of commuting and the soul-destroying boredom of work I didn’t enjoy. So I quit and along with my husband travelled for a year across Asia. It was an experience I’ll never forget and there’s not a day goes by that I don’t think of it. It was my inspiration for setting up Jewelled Buddha. So I’m excited that I can share my story of leaving a corporate career to set up a business, on the @womeninbusinessradio, show. I’ll be live this Thursday from 11AM BST on channel 2. 😁 Be sure to tune in and by the way, who can spot the ironing board!! 😂
I N T E R V I E W Have you checked out our latest interview blog with Rachida Brocklehurst editor of the @greenviemag ? We talk about how the vegan food scene has evolved from the negative stereotypes of peace-loving salad eaters to an empowered community that offers exciting, creative food thats swiftly heading mainstream. Here’s what Rachida had to say; - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - “The days of lack-lustre green salad or a dodgy plate of chips are over! I think what we’re seeing now is an influx of vegan junk food, as people are excited to showcase a different side to veganism, and to make it more accessible for the mainstream and non-vegans. I’m personally very passionate about integrating vegan options into non-veg restaurants”. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Head over to the blog link in the bio to read more.
BAGS FOR WORK & PLAY As you head off to work this morning, what’s in your bag? As women, we have a reputation for cramming everything into our bags 👜 but the kitchen sink, and I think it’s because we like to prepare for all eventualities. We have the power to think ahead, to predict what may or may not happen and be ready to spring into action at the drop of a hat! 🙅🏻‍♀️We mentally make a list of “what if’s” with a bag full of answers that say we’re ready to start the day. If you’re looking for a bag that’s going to take you from work to play with plenty of room to spare, checkout our handwoven totes. Pop laptops, walk to work trainers, your gym towel and more into our luxury totes and you’re prepared for everything the day has in store. Stylish, waterproof, with strong leather handles, these totes are made from recycled plastic bottles. So not only are you ready for anything - you’re helping the environment too! How awesome are you?! 💪🏻💪🏻
I T A J I M E - The art of wearing art What would you say is the perfect scarf? For me it’s got to be midway between beautiful, functional and versatile. Something that elevates an outfit, keeps you warm or cool and can be worn in a multitude of ways, adding formality, drama or just enhancing a basic tee. Our Itajime scarves do just that. Resist dyed using the ancient art of Itajime Shibori, these beautiful scarves are made from the softest Habutai silk. Each design is a work of art with a rich heritage that spans 1300 years. With an effortless drape and gorgeous fluidity, you can tie, knot and wrap your way through your wardrobe. Elevate workwear with an Itajime scarf. Wrap around the neck with a side knot and instantly you’ve added a formal touch to a dress or white shirt. Wrap loosely around a top and it’s casual all the way. Going away for the weekend? A 50’s headscarf look is great for a top-down road trip! Available online, our itajime scarves come beautifully wrapped in tissue with luxury recycled packaging.
Throwback to travels full of the wonders of nature. Back when I was planning my bucket list, part of it was to see Orangutans in Borneo and boy did we see them up close! These beautiful, highly intelligent apes are a joy to watch. Needless to say i took so many pictures of which this one is my absolute favourite! From Proboscis Monkey’s and birdlife down the Kinabatangan river to elephants in Chiang Mai and whales in New Zealand, I’ve had the privilege to see such amazing creatures. What animal or primate would you add to your bucket list? Comment below I’d love to know!
Back when I quit my corporate job, I had all sort of anxieties. Giving up a secure income, worrying about personal and financial responsibilities and doing something that that my sensible mind was having trouble digesting. I was 43 not 23! Quitting a job to set up a business is not easy. Okay I travelled for a year, but that was the catalyst that inspired me to set up Jewelled Buddha and not go back to the world of work which I could have. I’d always wanted to travel long term but in my social circle of sensible, responsible people, no-one had ever done it. Are you thinking of taking the leap. Do you see it as a dream that only others do. To help my anxieties, I planned. Planned finances, practicalities and planned my trip. I dared to dream. I took a chance on what the universe had in store for me, but essentially I made it happen. I was 43 not 23! It was now or never. I then made the leap. A leap so big (for me) it sent my hear a flutter but ultimately it set me free from the rules that society places on you. Study, get a good job, get a mortgage and spend your life paying it off. It set me free. I’ll be talking about all this on the radio. I’ll be live on air on the @womeninbusinessradio show on the 16th August from 11am-12pm. Be sure to tune in!
S T O R I E S “My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs, That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms. In life after life, in age after age, forever.” — Rabindranath Tagore _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Rabindranath Tagore was a famous Bengali poet, playwright, composer and painter. I guess his poetic words sum up the handcrafted story of our beautiful sari necklaces. Remade from vintage saris, our sari necklaces are the reincarnation of stories worn by women all over India. Stories of saris worn at colourful weddings, religious ceremonies and music filled festivals. Lovingly handmade by artisans, these luxurious silk jewels are made to last, to be worn time and time again, to become your story that can be told and re-told. Slow fashion lasts forever.
V E G A N L I F E Gone are the stereotypes of sandal-wearing hippies existing on salad leaves and lentils. Veganism is the new buzz word. It’s creative, experimental and mindful. Yes the rise of veganism is a growing trend that’s been born out of global concern over climate change, animal welfare and health matters. But it’s impact has not only sparked a rise in vegan food businesses but inspired many to adopt a plant-based lifestyle that combines an ethical approach to style and travel. Curious to find out more, I interviewed the lovely Rachida Brocklehurst, Editor in Chief of @greenviemag Green Vie is the goto magazine for luxury travel and living for conscious consumers.
