Raspberry Iguana

  I have hinted before that Raspberry Iguana has existed before so this blog will throwback. Raspberry Iguana was registered as a limited company as a gift for my 18 th  birthday; I don’t want to disclose how many years ago that was but trust me it was a lot, or certainly feels like it. If you were really interested, then there are ways to figure it out. Anyway, I was about to head off to university to study Fashion Design and Fashion Marketing with big dreams of becoming a fashion designer. My parents wanted me to have a name, label for all my designs whilst I was there. As explained previously, my brother gave me the nickname Princess Iguana so my parents thought that should be the natural choice, however you cannot call a limited company anything with princess in the name unless I am actually a princess, or my birth name is princess; so my parents had to spill the beans on what they were doing so I could tweak the name slightly. In all honesty I am not sure how Raspberry en...

Raspberry Iguana is back from holiday – I am back from holiday. We actually got back last Friday evening, and it has been the usual post-holiday chaos of dealing with mountains of washing, followed by ironing and the return of our little lady, our hamster, from her own holiday at nanna and pop’s house. The holiday was filled with mixed emotions, let’s just say I am glad to be home and holiday blues haven’t set in although I do miss the heat but only accompanied by a pool and air con. Overall, the boys had a brilliant time and loved playing in the pool and practicing their swimming and diving. We ate loads of gelato and drank Aperol Spritz after dark (I drank Aperol Spritz). We saw lots of lizards – sadly none of them Iguana’s, Hehe but it did inspire something for a potential future product. The road trip was a success, and the boys made full use of their travel packs and only used iPads on the last 2 hours of the journey which made me feel proud. I think we can all agree that our favo...

  It is officially August today and Raspberry Iguana is well overdue another blogpost…. Up first is a roundup of my July challenges where I think I can safely say I hit two out of the three goals set. I did shout about Raspberry Iguana to my wider and personal community, and they have been really lovely in liking, commenting and sharing my posts. I am also gaining more confidence in talking openly about it because whilst it is only small, it is a part of me, I work hard on it and ultimately, I love doing it and we should all try and do more of what we love. I have also been taking advantage of scheduling posts on Instagram and Facebook and whilst it took a little time in the beginning to set-up a few posts at a time it has been working really well and has given me the freedom of not worrying about remembering to post. Also, I thought Pinterest was suffering because I haven’t scheduled uploading pins (to be honest I haven’t actually checked if it is possible or not – note to self to...
