Curry, Chaos and Love – the story of an Irish girl’s life-changing journey to India
Trying to organise a book launch party is no joke. Especially when you have no car, no time, no marketing plan (besides bombarding people with posts on social media!) plus a ten month old baby and five year old boy to mind… Yet somehow, with a bit of help, I...
Big Changes for 2023
It’s time for an important update. I won’t beat around the bush with it; in both a positive and a challenging turn of events, we are going to have to increase our prices from February 1st this year. The reason? Well, thanks to the incredible support of our...
Treat someone special with unique Irish Gifts this Christmas!
It’s that time of year again, the big day is weeks away still but we all know how fast time goes especially when you’re busy. And who isn’t busy coming up to Christmas? Especially if you work in retail or hospitality… I’ve done both these...
The Caraliza Ring Sizer
The next best thing to trying on a ring in person is to have an accurate idea of your ring size; that is exactly what our little ring sizer can do for you!
2020 – The Year of Change
This post is to update you all on some changes for Caraliza this year as regards our usual markets and there is one major change that we’re sad to announce: there will be no Fair Alternative Christmas Market in the Unitarian Church, Cork city this year....
Fall in love again…
It’s a hard thing to beat, that beautiful excitement of falling in love, discovering that the special human you have become besotted with is equally crazy about you. Oh the nerves, the heady elation, the tingling joy running through your veins… what an...
Gift wrapping and that personal touch with Caraliza!
Does wrapping presents make your stomach drop? Do you simply hate using cheap wrapping paper that you can’t even recycle? Would you love to get someone a gorgeous gift online with a personal touch? Stress no more – we’ve got it sorted! Caraliza...
What’s new? Our little munchkin, gift packaging mishaps and all that Jazz…
I feel a Caraliza update is in order, it’s been far too long. Of course, I could blame our little munchkin for distracting me from business duties but he’s just too cute! Despite our little man’s endless demands, from midnight feeds to naps in the...
Merino Wool – so many reasons to love your shawl!
It’s that time of year again, when the days are shortening, the leaves are changing colours and the warm Summer days are fast disappearing; in other words, it’s the perfect time to start wearing our gorgeous Merino wool shawls again. We love our Merino...
Babies and Their Two Big “C’s”
Babies are quite amazing. Designed at optimum levels of cuteness (enough to eradicate all previous frustration from your mind despite living on minus-hours sleep; not so ridiculously adorable that you actually burst – even if it feels like you might sometimes)....
Tugging at the Heart Strings!
I never anticipated this happening before Little Boo arrived on the scene. Whenever it does, I feel split down the middle; unable to fully relax and enjoy the time with my friend and simultaneously feeling as though I’m not giving Boo the full attention he deserves. And that’s really the killer, because hey: #momguilt!
Time? What’s that again?
Time. What is that again? It’s been just three months since I had any and yet I can’t seem to recall what it feels like… Yup, becoming a Mum has allowed me to enter the world of all the time-less parent. Now, Einstein had a theory of relativity, that...
Lizzie Lou and Little Boo
It’s time. Time to get this blog up and running, because otherwise Little Boo will be a very Big Boo and I still won’t have started! And I think there are some fun facts to share with people about the joys of becoming a Mama to a gorgeous little human. For...
A fog of fatigue and nightly pee-pees…
Before getting pregnant, I never really understood what any of it actually entailed. I knew about morning sickness at the start, I knew that the body’s ligaments softened (meaning in yoga terms, don’t overdo the stretching even though you’ve suddenly gotten super bendy!). But that was kind of it.
The University of Parenthood
Thanks to our young Caraliza Designs business and an out-of-control Irish rental market, my thirties found me and Alex moving back in with my parents. We are extremely lucky and grateful to have this life-line while building the Caraliza brand, but it didn’t...
Mamaliza: the beginning
So things are a-changing in the world of Liz and Alex and Caraliza is expanding! Well, right now, the only thing actually expanding is my belly and for a slim, bendy yoga-gal, this physical development is quite a challenge.
Market-life and stockists up-dates!
Hello my lovelies, as we finally finally move into Spring in wet, chilly Ireland, here at Caraliza HQ we’ve recently resumed our regular market spots. Of course you can always buy online and we’ve been working hard to build up our stock and improve our...
Supporting Small Businesses, Supporting Each Other
I sit in the small quirky cafe in the center of Cork city, sipping on my americano, nibbling a fresh croissant and soaking up the vibe of this cute premises that’s just bursting with colour and character. As I gaze around at the soft furnishings, the happy dude...WHAT’S NEW… OPHELIA, TOOTH ACHES AND JAZZ
We had wild and wicked winds to contend with, thanks to hurricane Ophelia. Seeing the damaged trees all round still, with heavy long branches torn from their trunks, we didn’t dare risk venturing out for markets when warnings of storm Brian arrived. However, unlike his mad angry sister, Brian turned out to be a much calmer affair and we probably wouldn’t have taken off to the coast of Wales in our white 3×3 gazebo… but you never know!
