HOW Jewellery Club - Wizard Of Oz

It's that awesome time of the month again when we reveal the goodies which were sent out in this months HOW Jewellery club box! Whooop! So we had a couple of changes this month which were mostly to the website. If you head over to the website here you will see that there are now two tabs on the menu for subscribing. The first 'Join now', when you click on this you can choose from 3 options. A one off box (£19), 3 months pre-paid (£50) and add on earrings (£4). Now if you click on 'Monthly box' you will find the rolling subscription box offer (£17).  This one automatically bills you every month so if you set it up on the 1st you don't need to worry about re-joining every month. 

Aprils box theme was of course Oz! Inspired by the enchanting story the wonderful wizard of oz. Think rainbows, gingham and magic! Research for this box pretty much involved watching every wizard of oz film and program I could find. Now I have a confession to make... prior to making this box I had never actually seen wizard of oz all the way through.... I thought it was an old boring musical! Oh how wrong I was! So me and the ikklest Wonderlanders sat around the TV to watch the original film and OH MY GOD! It's amazing! How have I not watched this before??? Even my littlest Wonderlanders Dyaln (9) and Joshua (7) loved it too! So totally inspired by the film I set about creating a magical box to compliment the classic tale. 

Here is the listing image I designed....

 Are you ready to see what's inside this box? Aghhhh the suspense is killing me! Let's do this!....

My top 5 reasons for being self-employed!

So you may have seen recently that we have been joining in on Joanne Hawker's #MarchMeetTheMaker challenge and in the process of doing so have discovered some amazing designers, artists and brands that I never knew about (that awesome feeling when you discover someone amazing and your just like WOW! how did I ever live with out....) :D Anyway as a little extension of this challenge I wanted to share with you my top 5 reasons for being self employed! So let's get started!....

1. Being my own boss! - For me this a big big part of how I started.... I just really don't take orders too well! :D I always seem to find the 9-5 jobs too slow paced and just not challenging enough. By being my own boss I am able to work as many hours as I would like! Got a slow patch? No biggie! Make more work for yourself! There's ALWAYS an endless list of things to do!

2. Flexibility - With 3 young boys this is super important to me as there are a lot of school runs, last minute parties and other errands to do! Running House Of Wonderland means I can work, school run, come back and work. If I loose too much time during the day, no problemo I can make it up in the evening. Have a fixed 9-5 job wouldn't give me that and also means I would have less time with my ikkle monsters :D 

 3. Uniform - What uniform? I pretty much spend most of my working days in my PJ's and I'm okay with that! No horrible coloured polyester uniforms for me! 

 4. Creative Freedom- Being able to do something I am super passionate about is just a dream! Everyday is never like the previous, each day challenging and a new adventure. Being able to sit and sketch unicorns (whilst munching cake, dressed up in a onesie) and then create them into a range of fun products is just amazing!  All you need to do is believe in yourself! 

 5. No limits- There's no limit to what you can earn and no limit to what you can achieve. I have learned so far you get as much out of it as you put in. A regular job limits you to a set wage which working for yourself doesn't! Whilst a job may offer more stability and a guaranteed income it won't generally give you the opportunity to reach your personal dreams and goals! 

I hope you enjoyed ready this post! It's a bit different from my usual but we gotta have some verity right?  What are your thoughts on working for yourself? What's your favourite reasons?

Have a magical evening! Oh and don't forget to check out our HOW Jewellery Club boxes! We only have a few left so make sure you grab yours now :)
