I love all things that I can put in my kids hair. My second daughter has hair that is all over the place, so the more headbands and clips we can find that she likes and wants to keep on her head the better!
My youngest wore a few of Ximena’s headbands during our photo shoot with Glow Foto and when Ximena tracked us down – I was in the middle of a full out hair fight with my middle.
When we got to sample the 5 star fabric flower with a wooden button on a skinny elastic band, my middle loved it right away. I admit, I loved it too. I may have borrowed it a time or two for myself.
This headband doesn’t just look pretty, the elastic headband stays put and can take the love of a toddler and still hold up great! You can see the extra attention to detail as well.
Ximena has her products available online to view on her facebook page. I may have my eye on a few for my sister’s upcoming graduation!

The Inspiration
Almost one year ago on August 13, 2011, after 9 years of our lives together, I married my best friend. I took it upon myself to create all of my flower arrangements including the boutineers. I had a fabulous time working on all the floral bouquets, that I found myself really missing the creations that I had been working on. Ever since then, I knew that I wanted to work with flowers, but not just any flowers, I wanted to start my own business making my own floral designs. My friends and family were continuously encouraging me to pursue my dreams. I then began creating flowers from fabrics I had laying around, and I once again found what I had been missing. The need to craft and create something beautiful. I would use my 3 beautiful daughters as my models and inspiration. I then knew, that I wanted to see my flower creations on many more beautiful babies, toddlers, teenagers and women. My business name was also inspired by my girls; adi- the first letters of each of their names in the order they where born!
What makes your product unique/different?
My product rocks because they are all handmade flowers. Everyone of my designs offers its own unique personal touch! I can or you can choose your own color and style that you would like to see in that perfect photo or just to match that beautiful summer dress !
What keeps you motivated?
ne of the things that motivate me are my clients, and all the positive feedback that I have been receiving, and the fact that keep coming back for more ;)! But, what motivates me the most are my 3 daughters. My oldest especially because of how much interest she shows in whole process of my creations. Starting from choosing fabrics and colors that she thinks are pretty. Then watches me as I make them and always tells me how beautiful they look, and when it comes time to package up my orders, she always wants to help ;)!
If you could have one super-hero power, what would it be?
My super hero power would be to fly, just like wonder women ;)! If I had the ability to fly, I would be able to travel back and fourth from Canada to Valparaiso, Chile. I would be able to visit my friends and family that I miss dearly. The best part, I would be able to take my husband and girls with me!
What is the most rewarding thing about running your own business?
The time and the freedom that I have to be able to spend with my family. Being able to stay home with my girls is a treasure for me. Especially when I am able to start a business that I love, right from my own home.
What is the most valuable lesson you have learned as a working mom {so far}?
When I first started making my own flowers I didn’t think that I could make this work. I found myself questioning my designs and wether or not I can actually manage my own business and continue spending that quality time with my kids. But I was wrong! The most valuable lesson that I have learned so far is how to have faith in myself.I have realized just how strong of a women I am. That no matter how I choose to live my life, I will always be the same women. The fact that people do love my product and it’s more then I could ask for!
