The Adventures of Ate Chechebells

I am excited to write today's blog post! but before I get into the beautiful handmade wax seal jewelry from La Maison Chandelles let me as always tell you a story hahahahah.

The person behind La Maison Chandelles is a good friend of mine, known him when we are both working for Mango. I want to put into writing how proud am I of him, for being able to do something that he is passionate about.

At this time where most people are having difficulty either financially, emotionally, or socially, he was able to create something beautiful.

It all started when he decided to do some Marie Kondoing in his home, and he stumbled upon a box full of his old wax seal materials, he remembered how it made him happy when he was young, he used to seal all his letters with his wax seals. This gave him an idea to take it up again and put a gorgeous twist and made jewelry out of it.

I remembered when he posted his first creation, I messaged him immediately to ask if he is planing on selling his creation and he told me that he is still thinking about it.

Fast forward, he has launched his own handmade wax seal jewelry line called La Maison Chandelles.

These are handmade wax seal jewelry, each piece is a unique personalized art that you could wear, with its little imperfection that is unique every time a piece is made.

And that is what I love about it, owning any handmade jewelry is having a piece that is specially made for you. That is what you get from La Maison Chandelles.

I got this as a thank you gift from him. Basically, the design is a mismatched earring. Very popular in Europe where girls will wear similar earrings of the design and mismatch.

Another gift, A rope/knot bracelet made from paracord, you could add your own hardware or charms to personalize it to your style.

The Lenny Necklace

The Regina Bracelet

The Royal Earrings

The Elizabeth Earrings

The Winsdor Lapel Pin

The Empire Brooch

All the designs are available on La Maison Chandelles Instagram account. Each item you order will be made to order.

He will ask you some questions so that your jewelry piece is customized to your preference which I love.

I had recorded an unboxing video on the Miss Chuchubells Youtube Channel, I will update this post once I finished editing it hahahahahah.

So if you are looking for the perfect gift for someone, please do check out La Maison Chandelles Instagram page and he will be more than happy to work with you.

I am so happy that I get to own a few pieces from his collection, this is a work of art created with passion and love for the arts. Enoch, I am so proud of what you had accomplished and so excited about the future of your brand. You are an example that no matter how old you are, that it's never too late to work on your dreams.

Ok, I am getting mushy now hahahahah.. Love you!

Till my next blog post, Remember to be courageous, kind, and a blessing to everyone you meet.

Remember when we were younger our parents would remind us to get enough sleep and that sometimes or most of the time in my case it was more of a punishment 😂😂

I am here to burst the bubble to you young ones, that eventually you will reach a certain age that even if you wanted to sleep, you won't be able to.

Like most young people I thought that I will be able to sleep whenever I wanted, but with a bad habit of staying up all night and being proud that I could function with at least 4 hours or no sleep at all was a badge that I carried proudly till I reached 30 years old.

Gone are the days that I could sleep the whole day during my off days just to recharge. I always laugh it out when I get insomnia attacks, I take it as a sign that I could catch up with my favorite shows or do some writing.

Now that I am in reaching half a century old, sleep is something that I wished I have. I can't even explain how my sleep pattern nowadays.

So when the team of Dr. Carey Tea (Goodnight Tea) asked if I could review their Goodnight Tea, I immediately said yes. I am been into finding ways to get a good night's sleep, name it I tried it, from taking sleeping pills, meditation, listening to singing bowls, melatonin pills, yoga, and the list goes on.

I actually wanted to slap myself in the head for not trying any Goodnight Tea in the market, so giving this Dr. Carey Tea a try, I got myself excited.

GoodNight Tea is a white tea where the tea leaves are collected from wild plants growing in the primeval forests near the equator. The hand-picked wild plants are dried naturally and broken manually. Afterward, they are packaged in a vacuum and airlifted to Singapore to carry out a series of organic standard processes, in order to protect their original ecological characteristics.

GoodNight Tea meets the HACCP standard of international food safety products and has passed the international SGS authoritative test, with no residues of 374 kinds of pesticides. Unlike another type of teas, GoodNight Tea does not contain any caffeine.

Before going on the market, GoodNight Tea has been experienced by nearly 3,000 people, and the effect is quite satisfactory. Therefore, it is expected that everyone can enjoy GoodNight Tea, which can provide more and more people with high-quality sleep, and keep them in good health.

How to enjoy GoodNight Tea?

The best method is to get a saucepan, place 1 tea bag and add 1000ml of water, boil it over 10mins and let it cool to your preferred temperature of serving.
2. Alternatively, if you intend to drink it in the office, just get a tumbler/teapot, place 1 tea bag and add 1000ml of boiled water, cover it, and hold for 10mins.
If you feel that 1000ml of water is too diluted, simply reduce the amount of water according to your preference. (600ml to 1000ml)

When should I drink GoodNight Tea?

You just need to drink 1 tea bag a day.
You can start drinking anytime, however for better results, try to drink slowly after dinner all the way to before you go to bed.

So what was my experience using Dr. Carey Goodnight Tea for a week.

I loved that I could drink it cold, I am not a hot tea drinker, although I did try it one night and I liked it too.

Being able to put it into my water bottle and slowly drink it up to the time that I go to bed was great, you will do feel sleepy but it's not the drowsy sleepy that you won't be able to do some things that you needed, drowsy enough to let you know that its time to sleep.

Did I manage to go to sleep right after? Not really for I do take a shower at night so it made me awake, so I just continued to drink the tea still right after.

What helped though it minimized all the tossing and turning, depending on how tired I was.

And to be honest, there will be nights that I still do listen to singing bowls meditation, and breathing exercises, they did claim that it will assists to give you a good night's sleep which it does.

Would I rely on just drinking the Dr. Carey Goodnight tea?

It depends on every individual need, there will be nights that just drinking it helps me to sleep and there are nights that I need more than the tea.

Does it work?

In my experience it does, help you sleep.

Do I recommend it?

Yes, since it's all-natural it will do more good than harm, still way better than using melatonin pills that do give you side effects on long-term usage.

Where can I find more information about GoodNight Tea?

Stay tuned for my next post, where I will share some tips that helped me sleep.

Till next time, remember to be courageous, kind, and a blessing to everyone you meet!
