Interview with Sophie l Enchanted Willow


1) What has been your key inspiration to your current career?

A) My Daughter, Willow is my main inspiration for what I do. So much so, I 
named my business after her.


2) What do you enjoy the most about your job?

A) I absolutely LOVE all things quirky, cute and handmade. I love finding 
the sweetest little charms and creating something unique and beautiful. 
It's a great feeling knowing that somewhere out there, there are happy 
people wearing something I have made.


3) To date, what has been your 'proudest' moment?

A) My proudest moment would have to be when I was contacted personally 
with the opportunity to retail at the Clothes Show Live. Unfortunately, 
I only had 23 days notice and couldn't take part but I was so happy that 
I had been found and invited to take part in such a huge annual event. 
definitely next year!

4) Where do you see yourself in the future?

A) In the future, I see myself running my own little boutique bringing 
people the best in vintage style jewellery, accessories, art and prints. 
I'm always jotting down ideas about how I'd want the shop the look and 
what items I'd like in there etc. I get all excited whenever I think 
about it!

5) What tips/advice would you give to someone who wants to go down the 
same career path as yourself?

A) The advice I would give for anyone who plans to go down the same career 
path as me, is to be patient. There are no fast success stories in 
jewellery making, but if you don't start now, it will never come!
Never underestimate yourself and try every crazy idea that comes to you 
mind. All of the biggest jewellery makers of the world were somewhere 
you are now. They made it because they were bold and believed in 
themselves.

6) Which would you say is your favourite item off your website at the 
moment?

A) Right now my favourite item/s are my little porcelain teacup necklaces. 
I absolutely fell in love with these charms when I seen them and just 
had to get them. I'll also be making earrings out of them so watch this 
space!

HipHopCandy Review!*

How did I come across these adorable products?

Whilst reading some online blogs one day, I found such a sweet kawaii and all things cute blog that i couldn't help but read! I'm becoming very much a fan of japanese kawaii related products and luckily enough this blog was promoting a small business that i fell straight in love with!

The name of the business is HipHopCandy and for a small business, they have tons of cute and kitsch products and i was so thrilled to be given the chance to write a review for them!

What type of products would i be able to find on their website?

If you like all things cute, unique and sweet, or know someone who does and would love to find somewhere that is reasonably priced for that perfect gift HipHopCandy have such a range to look through such as:
  • Accessories and goods
  • Bath and body
  • Buttons
  • Gift packaging
  • Home fragrance
  • Jewellery
  • Shirts 
  • Stationary 

I just adore how welcoming and sweet even the website layout is, it's very well put together and easy to navigate without any issues! With other websites they are connected through such as youtube, facebook and twitter, you can keep in the know of any updates to products and get any help if needs be so easily(I must say I love a company that can be interactive with their customers!)


Products that i received to review for HipHopCandy


With this website and the amount of products that sounded so unique and good enough to eat, reviewing for them was an exciting and fun experience! The staff of the business was very helpful and informative when speaking with me and the delivery was very fast and well packed so everything came in tact! 
This following review is all my own honest opinions and i have not been paid to do so, my comments are 100% my own words and thoughts.


Frosted Cupcake - Foaming body wash
2oz $4.25


Now as i'm very much a fan of cupcakes, whether they are the real thing or just scented etc seeing this foam wash in the packet I was thrilled! Straight away I easily unscrewed the cap and smelled the yummy body wash contained within; the scent itself is unbelievable and i was so shocked at how realistic it was! 
It smelt exactly how I imagined and yes although it smelt good enough to eat i must warn that it is not edible! -giggles-

How to use-

It is ideal to put a desired amount onto a wash cloth and personally i would put a 50 pence sized amount on as this wash produces lots of creamy lather and bubbles! basically rub it into the skin and then wash off completely, leaving the skin clean and sweet scented! 

Would I recommend the foaming washes by this company?

Indeed i would!Not only is the size bottle perfect for travelling but they have such a variety of scents for example: cotton candy, melon soda, vanilla peach and raspberry lemonade your spoilt for choice if you love something more unique and sweet! Along with the foaming washes you can also find soap bars, bath salts and even body sprays all handmade I would have to give thumbs up for such creativity and imagination this business has!


Vampire Kiss - red raspberry and pomegranate lipbalm
$3.50

Very surprised when I had also found this item and with the name suggests I was curious on what the scent would be like and how it would feel on the lips. 
The scent once opened is subtle yet very fruity and the raspberry overpowers the pomegranate scent, but i must say it is a nice combination; there was also a slight adding of menthol too so when it is applied there can be a tingling sensation on the lips. The texture is very soft, sheer and moisturising and the ingredients are also natural like candelilla wax, soy lipids, and beeswax. 
And for this i always find natural ingredients to be so much better for the skin and this was the case for the lip balm!
I thought the packaging/theme was cute also and very different from any other lipbalm i have come across i wasn't expecting such a fruity scent for a vampire theme balm! 
As this is one of many scents this website also supplies ones such as: mint choc chip, Creamy Cappuccino, peanut butter and jelly and much more! and it is definitely a great price!


My opinions are that there is so much to look at its a website perfect for all cute and kawaii lovers and i would definitely recommend this to all my readers!

This was also added into my package a robot acrylic phone charm!
So adorable <3
