The evil eye is engrained in human history for as long as anyone can remember. It can be found in earrings, necklaces, textiles, and even door knockers. They come in all kinds of colours and sizes, looking as traditional as a series of circles painted on glass to as realistic as an actual eye. With it being so prominent it's interesting to find out the meaning behind the symbol.

Many items can cause tarnishing - so many so, that it's nearly impossible to keep the lustre. No one likes that ugly yellow-black colour, and with so many sources online arguing about the best methods of cleaning, it can be overwhelming. That's why we've made a list of what you need to know. [caption id="attachment_942" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Courtesy of: eLLen via Flickr.com[/caption] What is Tarnishing and What Causes it? That yellow or black colour is a form of corrosion.

Halloween isn't what it used to be - no, we're not coming from a sentimental, nostalgic point of view. We're talking about Halloween in the most literal sense there is.  It may not seem like it, but there was a lot more to this spooky holiday than candy and flashy costumes. It was a time of celebration, coming together as a community, and protecting each other from what our ancestors considered to be harmful spirits. Here's the rundown on the truth about Halloween. [caption id="attachment_919" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Courtesy of: pexels.com[/caption] Etymology and Origins of Halloween Halloween was originally All Hallow's Eve (Hallowe'en for...

Online shopping and shopping IRL both have their pros and cons. Sometimes it's simpluy easier to run into the drugstore and buy a pack of band-aids, or order a cool printed t-shirt from a store on the other side of the world.
