Nautilus Maritime Etsy Shop Review and Giveaway (CLOSED)

By -
Maritime culture had fascinated Audra of Nautilus Maritime since childhood, but it was not until her teenage years -when she first began working on the brig Lady Washington- that she became familiar with the skills of the traditional sailor known as marlingspike seamanship. She found that it was an art as rich in history as it was in variability, and was the perfect combination of decoration and practicality. She continues to work -off and on- aboard the Lady Washington, where she furthers her studies in marlingspike seamanship, and ashore she seeks to produce authentic pieces of maritime art that are both original and true to tradition.


The beautiful pieces you'll find in Audra's shop will have you in awe. I fell in love with all her pieces, from her simple buttons to her intricately knotted bracelets and necklaces. Audra is extremely talented and amazing at what she does. Here are just a few of the items you'll find in her etsy shop:


Small "Whaler's" Canvas Drawn-Work Purse

Boat's Running-Lights Earrings

Knotted 'Cringle' Bracelet with Brown and Clear Beads


Audra also sent me one of her beautiful knotted 'Cringle' bracelets to review. The colors of the beads and the knotting of the bracelet really makes it an amazing and unique piece. I can tell that the bracelet is durable and well made. Make sure to check out Nautilus Maritime on etsy and facebook!

As we inch closer to the new year it's a great to reminisce at some of the style high points of 2011! Crazy Hair Colors:  Katy Perry went pink, Charlotte Free went pink, Lady Gaga went pink. It was definitely a wild trend!  Red Hair: This was a popular hair color this year with stars like Drew Barrymore, Demi Lovato, Blake Lively, and Emma Stone rocking their red locks.  Ombre Nails: Ombre hair has been extremely popular trend the last couple of years, but ombre nails made a big splash in the world of fashion this year.  Fuchsia  Lip: This bold lip color was featured at Diane von Furstenberg, but Natalie Portman showed off a more wearable version at the Golden Globes.  Dip Dye Hair: Ombre hair was taken to a completely new level with the introduction of rainbow colors. Lauren Conrad was a huge part of making this such a popular trend.  What were your favorite trends of 2011?

Keratin Hair Treatments: The Answer to All My Problems?

The quest for perfect hair seems like a never ending battle. Products everywhere claim that they will solve all your hair problems, but I have yet to find one that actually will (if you happen to know of one, please tell me :D.) But there is a new process that has caught my eye... keratin hair treatments. What do keratin hair treatments do? Keratin hair treatments involve a process that can get rid of up to 99% of frizz, straighten hair, make hair soft & shiny, and protect the hair from toxins like UV rays, smoke, & pollution. How does this process do it? Wow! This really does seem like the end to my hair battle? Well, keratin is what hair (and nails) are naturally made up of. When we use styling tools, expose hair to chemical processes and toxins in the environment, the keratin in your hair becomes less effective at its job (keeping your hair strong and looking healthy.) Where can I get it and how much will it hurt my wallet? You can get it at a salon and it shou
