A must have accessory for every female...

Once again I was emailed recently by someone who had come up with the most brilliant idea, and I was left kicking myself thinking how didn't someone (namely me) think of this before!!
Now, every girl should have a perfect accessory for everything, and this simple little creation is a must have item to keep permanently on hand (or in your bag).
Gone are the days of crushed tampons that lie at the bottom of your handbag, or awkwardly dropping the box and tampons spilling out in the most inappropriate of places.
Introducing Tampurse, established in 2009 and a partnership between Anna Paterakis and Rebekah Zougoulos.
I love an inspirational entrepreneurial story so couldn't wait to catch up with the girls and ask all about their fabulous creation!

Tampurse is such a fabulous idea and one I’m sure ladies everywhere will kick themselves and think why couldn’t I have thought of that! Can you describe how it all came about?
That’s the exact response we are getting from a lot of women “Why didn’t I think of that?”. Everyone has the same issues, loose tampons spilling out inside your bag which is not a good look! We decided something needed to be done and finally after many years of ‘just talking about it’ we decided to ‘do something about it’! So the Tampurse journey began...

How long has it taken to go from an idea to a reality?
The Tampurse journey has been one and a half years in the making. It has been such a challenging and rewarding experience dealing with all the facets of manufacturing and launching a totally new product. We have so many more ideas and goals for Tampurse and are itching to make them happen for you all to enjoy!

It’s a partnership between the two of you, do you have specific roles that you each take on or do you work together on everything?
We work together on everything which we have found to be fantastic. We love bouncing ideas off each other, sometimes when we get on a roll, we just can’t stop!! It helps that we are best friends also!

What was the hardest thing about taking your initial concept and making it become an actual product?
Never having done anything like this before the whole journey has been a huge learning curve. Probably the most difficult aspect would be the financial side of things!! Crunching numbers is definitely not our area of expertise!

Any advice for other people with an idea or an invention they want to turn into a reality?
There will always be a lot of setbacks but you have to have faith and keep going and believe in your product. There are so many times that you feel like giving up as you feel there is no light at the end of the tunnel, however, if you keep on persevering, the light finally shines and very brightly we must say!! Just keep on going and believe in your ability!! It really does pay off!

I re-connected with an old friend on the weekend..

It’s not that I had forgotten, I just hadn’t given it much thought of late.
With so many new trends appearing here there and everywhere, the simple wrap dress just hadn’t entered my mind for months, maybe even years?
I’ve actually always loved the wrap dress. It’s simple design that is flattering on almost every figure type and body shape. It streamlines & compliments your curves in all the right ways and will instantly make you feel floaty, feminine & sexy.
It’s funny because the one I purchased on the weekend didn’t really have great hanger appeal, it was more the pattern of the fabric that first caught my eye. However once standing in the change room, in front of the mirror it all came flooding back to me how much I loved this style of dress.. Hello again old faithful friend...
