Drink it and Wear it Collection! Because it's fun and environmentally responsible.
It was just a fun idea to showcase my favorite drink as an accessory. It was unique and it was recycling. My view of recycling is reusing items and giving them new purpose. And I had my aha moment on repurposing beer caps at a friend's bar. I came back wearing a cap earring that I made and it was a hit! And then my friends thought it was cool and wanted their own sets or for a gift. So I ran with it and added it to my handmade jewelry line. At first, it was just to make extra money but now it's about something much more important.
Having kids changes your priorities. My 6-year-old son has a great-grandmother who lives on the other side of the world. He sees her once every four years or so because it's expensive to travel over the ocean. He saw her when he was barely 1 and last year before he turned 5. My goal is to take my son Jakob to see his great-grandmother as much as I can afford in hopes that he will remember her and have as much exposure to his Filipino Culture.
What keeps me motivated to stay creative and innovative?

A child's mind is full of wonders and curiosities. If we, as adults, would open our imagination as if we were kids once more, we will never run out of ideas. I think as we grow older, we sometimes forget how to look at our choices both good and bad. Sometimes the choices you deem bad are not so bad after all. We tend to focus on the easy temporary solutions than the long lasting solutions.
My son shows his brilliance through his happy thoughts and simple ideas. His number 1 goal every day is to be able to wake up and get up with his mommy and daddy, to cruise through school and get his rewards, to go home and play, and to sleep knowing both his parents are home as well. He remembers people through his travels and he talks about them as if he is definitely sure that he will see them again very soon. He has a big heart who love to give hugs and kisses. He forgives easily and learns quickly. He reminds me that as adults, we need to worry less, forgive more and love always.
So as a tribute to my son and the happiness of children, I dedicate a part of my current muse, as a jewelry artist to his travels.
