It's Been A While

Apologies for the lack of blogging.

It's been a while since I've written anything. No excuses other than coming back from Mexico was a bit of a whirlwind with Christmas preparations, turning 23 (Eek) and getting back into work.

Since I've come back from Mexico I have been busy setting up Mexicali. In a nutshell; Mexicali is a jewelery company inspired by the Children of Mexico. Handcrafted and unique, each bracelet is dedicated to an individual I met whilst working at a Children's Refuge in Jalisco. 10% profit of each bracelet sold from the Mexico range will be donated to the 'Refugio Infantil Santa Esperanza'.The Range won't stop at Mexico, I'm aiming to produce new lines inspired by future travels to help children around the world.

Whilst volunteering in Mexico I met some wonderful Children, all of whom, I think about on a daily basis, I miss working with them and never thought I'd grow to care about the kids as much as I did. I went away wanting to experience more from life and in the end I learnt to be more appreciative of things I have, did have and will have. Family, friends, education, love etc.

I decided to start Mexicali whilst I was in Mexico, as thats where I learnt; new threading techniques, saw how much the children enjoyed it as an activity and mostly because of how much I loved to sit and thread bracelets. I would like to donate money from the Mexico range to the Refugio Infantil Santa Esperanza, as this is where the idea all stemmed from. However at the moment Mexicali only consists of a Mexican inspired range, so I'm hoping to expand this by visiting more Children and charities around the world i.e. India, Russia, Argentina.

Mexicali is in it's early stages and I want more than anything to see it do well. The better it does, the more I will be able to help.

Write more soon.

Love
