I love everything from the name Skinny Pig Designs. to the amazing handmade jewelry line!! Wait until you see these stunning pieces! Ocean-inspired jewelry! These pieces are beautiful, delicate, and so creatively designed. I LOVE this Etsy SHOP!! First, Silver Lotus and Crystal Flower Earrings. The earrings are absolutely beautiful!! Silver earrings with a Lotus flower design, pearls, gold, and silver, along with green and orange crystals to make flowers. These hang so beautifully from the ear without being heavy! These do not pull at the earlobes. I’m amazed and thrilled at how light these earrings are!! The earrings are delicate, creative, and they are STUNNING!! The lotus dangle earrings are on a silver kidney earwire. The earrings are approximately 2.5″ in length. The necklace. Oh my goodness, this necklace is so beautiful! This necklace is on a delicate silver chain, the charms dangle from a silver, etched loop. The charms are beautiful, light blue sea glass, a beautiful piece of coral and accented with a silver starfish charm. So beautiful!! So delicate! So feminine. These beautiful pieces are the creation of designer and owner Moana-Marie Nazareno. These items are inspired by the ocean, beach and Moana-Marie’s life in Hawaii. I give Skinny Pig Designs two very enthusiastic thumbs WAY, WAY up!! These stunning pieces will easily go from the office to a family barbecue. Where them to the beach or to Church.

Refreshing My Old Blog Posts: The Good, The Bad, and The 404s

Updating an old blog post is a lot like an archaeological dig. You expect a quick “dusting” and end up unearthing a series of questionable life choices from 2014. I recently opened a “quick update” only to find:

Missing Images: Key tutorial steps now require “imagination.”
Dead Links: Half my brand partners have rebranded as “AI Crypto Collectives.”
Antique Fonts: Styles that haven’t been cool since the dial-up era.

Why I’m Optimizing This Blog

It’s not glamorous, but fixing broken links and whispering “Pick me!” to Google makes the site faster and easier for you to find. I’m not spiraling; I’m just cleaning up the blog ghosts.
