Searching for a particular kind of convergent sequence

I want an example of a complex sequence (x_n) which converges to 0 but is not in ^p, for p\ge 1 i.e. the series \sum |x_n|^p is never convergent for any p\ge 1. Can someone provide an example please?

I suspect 1/log(n+1) will work, but I haven't checked divergence for p > 1.

*EDIT* I'm fairly certain it works. I'll let you figure out the estimates needed to demonstrate divergence (hint: you don't need obscure series tests).

I am having trouble establishing the divergence. Can you be more explicit? Thanks.
 
For divergence I would guess (1/log(n))p > 1/n for sufficiently large n.
