Welcome to Best Makes Bares All – Our Colourful Corner of Chaos, Creativity and Chasing Dreams

Well, here we are. The blog is live. Gulp. It’s happening!

Welcome to Best Makes Bares All, the little corner of the internet where we (two best mates, mums, and makers) spill the glittery beans on what it’s really like to run a small creative business while keeping tiny humans alive, chasing dreams, dodging Lego, and drinking (cold) coffee.

We're not here to pretend we've got it all together – because we don't. But what we do have is a whole lot of heart, a love for making colourful, joy-filled jewellery, and a friendship that’s been going strong since school days.

Why "bares all"?
Because we're doing this honestly. No sugar-coating, no "everything is perfect and aesthetic 24/7" – just real talk about the wins, the wobbles, and everything in between. This is where we celebrate the messy middle. The late-night making marathons. The markets that flopped. The moments that spark pure, fizzy joy. The hilarious behind-the-scenes chaos of building something from nothing.

How it started....
Back in the day (read: years ago, in between classes and doodling in margins), we used to talk about running a business together. We didn’t know what it would be, but we knew we wanted to make. Fast forward through careers, babies, life twists and turns – and here we are. Best Makes was born. Built on friendship, creativity, and the belief that colour can change your whole mood.

Why jewellery?
Because jewellery should be FUN. It should make you smile. It should feel like you. Our pieces are handmade with love (and probably a few snacks nearby), designed to bring colour and joy to your everyday. We believe in dopamine dressing, bold accessories, and bringing your inner child to the party.

Going for it
Starting this business wasn’t perfectly planned. It was more like: Should we do this?
…Yes?
Ok, let’s go!
We jumped. And we’re still jumping. Every day is a bit of a wild ride, but we wouldn't change it. This blog is part of that ride – a space for us to share what we're learning, what we're loving, and what we're laughing about. Think behind-the-scenes peeks, honest confessions, maybe even some tutorials, and definitely too many photos of us accidentally glueing things to the table.

So what’s next?
More making. More mess. More moments of magic. We’ll be here, sharing it all with you – the good, the bad, and the beautifully bonkers. Whether you’re a fellow maker, a mum trying to find time for creativity, or just someone who loves a good story and a splash of colour – you’re so welcome here.

Let’s do this. Let’s bare all.

With love, laughter and a lot of colour,
The Best Makes Girls
