About Every Peace..
The Idea..
What To Expect..
You will find all kinds of one of kinds over here at Funkylicious HQ! Some may seem bonkers but what's normal anyway!?
Each one of my upcycled/reworked creations all start with a thrifted item that I spot and see potential for it having a new life with the help of my pizzazz. The saying ‘One mans trash is another mans treasure’ should be stuck to my forehead permanently😆
Each original artwork I create is genuinely from the heart, it has a mixture of passion, emotion, colour, meaning and joy. Of course, there is joy when looking at a finished ‘Peace’ but the literal joy and excitement I get when creating honestly motivates me more. Sometimes so much that I overwhelm myself 😂
If you don’t already follow my social media or are simply unaware, I actually have ADHD and the idea I have for 'Every Peace' suits me so well. I am able to do what I love without to much consistency in creating the same product or similar for it to look like it belonged to me.
I was under the impression for a long time that to be noticed with my talent, I would need to be consistent so my work is recognisable. Of course this is my goal but because of my ADHD this is difficult. Therefore me having a theme from a different angle doesn’t take the joy out of one of the things I love most in life. I honestly couldn’t be more excited and happy right now with the ideas I have and the steps I am making towards my goals.
A current goal of mine is for Every Peace to be my full time career, but I would also really like Every Peace to be seen as a community too, as opposed to just a girl with a business.
A community of others inspiring others, being positive when we can, having fun, being kinder to ourselves, growing, inspiring each other to have the confidence to dance like a loon & all the other real life but good stuff! If I am able to help or assist anybody by some positivity put into perspective or through my creations or in any other ways and vice versa, then I am on the right track to ticking off my goals. Then its on to the next…
We will never fully complete growth, there is always something to work on whether that be personal, our careers, our choices, whatever it may be. There is always further to reach.I think its so easily done to not remind ourselves of how far we have come because we are so focused on the future at times, BUT there will be something we have achieved/improved by today, tomorrow or maybe next week.. that we once wished for in the past.
However small or big you think it may be, take a moment and congratulate yourself, celebrate and make it a memorable moment, that way you will remember, which will inspire and motivate you more.
Every 'Peace' is one of a kind like everybody. – I hope you like it here Xx💗✌🏼✨
Hey!
This is a little intro to me.. Who am I and what in the world am I up to!?
Firstly, I say ‘little intro’ I'm not sure how true that is… we’ll see about that when I have finished typing lol.
I can hear you asking.. ‘what is going on in that glittery, pom pom, firework filled brain.. Jess’ well I can confirm.. Literally just that🤣🤣 It’s a fun place, also bonkers.
BUT lets take it back, taking it back to, taking it back to the old school.. (professional mode now)..
SO.. I was made & sprouted in the wonderful 0161 – Manchester UK!
I turned 26 the day this website went live. I'm an only child, my mum and dad split when I was younger, so I currently live with my Mum and my gorgeous, most sweetest doggo.. Jake (see photo below.. Iknow! he's super cute)
As cliché as it sounds, I really
have been arty and creative all my life. So much so that, (short story for you…) when I was maybe 3 or 4 I found a piece of glass outside and tried to calve my name into my mums new fridge. Tell me that’s not ambition! I wanted
to leave my mark from the age of 3 and look at me now🤣
Oh and an FYI – my Mum is a super clean freak (no offense to any clean freaks, they are cool 🤣) but living with me.. Messy Jessy, doesn't work
very well its like a pick and mix..
A large one..
That you have chose with your eyes closed..
In a pet shop...
I have some really amazing people in my life, that I am so so grateful for.
My friends say I'm like Alan from the Hangover, Geoffrey from Benidorm (the one that goes on holiday with his mum Noreen). Honestly the list goes on, but I wont argue because I think they are absolutely spot on. I mean they tell me the truth and that can be rare these days! So they can call me Alan forever, because they aint wrong 🤣
Yeah I think you might be getting the idea…are you? …I'm mad, funny, iv got ADHD and fun fact... I cry at really stupid stuff when its hormonal O'clock..
Here's an example… I watched the McDonalds Brothers film recently and I started crying because McDonalds got customers, MCDONALDS GOT CUSTOMERS FOR BURGERS AND FRIES AND I CRIED!.
And it wasn’t a bit, it was a lot..
In the bath.
And that’s the end of that sentence.
I would describe my mind on a good day as
London Euston Station.
On a bad day – London Euston Station on Jubilee Weekend probably whilst there is a national protest taking place but the meeting point is in London and the supermarkets and shops have run out of toilet paper..
Of course none of these examples are realistic.
Oh wait they absolutely are.
BUT the weather changes and so does time, so we ride it out babeyy.
Carnivals are much more fun as opposed to just a busy Euston , and I use the chaos carnival to my advantage when I can.
I'm a very curious person, I see magic in things
that people usually wouldn’t give a second look. My imagination and creativity
is unique to me, it is a part of me that I admire, along with many other things
but don't be fooled that list of improvement is still very long.
And that’s on me not having a ‘little intro’ and my ‘professional mode’
Lets be serious, I'm not going to be me if I'm in suit, tie and brief case mode.. Its boring.
And if you was to look in my breif case it would probably contain...
A pink fluffy pen with a broken unicorn on top
An apple for show and my apple watch (because if I forget to put it on, it just sits at the bottom of my bag for the unseeable until I remember)
Oh and probably an odd sock
A 7 month old banana
Or.. my best friends living room tv remote.. 🤣
“Why such detailed bag contents Jess?”…
That’s a few stories for another day. 🤣
Sending Love, Good vibes, and the confidence to wear your hair in a greasy bun for more than 2 days in a row (because I don’t do that)
Or.. The brain power to put the next serious energy gobbler in the imaginary eff off box with your finger on your lips, and the rest is bliss! ♥
Here are some photos of my nearest & dearest & my gorgeous doggo..
Lots of Love, Jess Xoxo
