Let’s get real for a second: You can have the most beautiful products in the world, but if you don't understand your numbers, you don't have a business—you have a very expensive hobby. As a jewelry maker, I know how tempting it is to just look at the price of your beads and the price of your finished necklace and call the difference 'profit.' But that’s a dangerous path to take! When I first started, I wasn't accounting for my time, my packaging, my Etsy fees, or even the electricity I used to r

Life as a single mom is a whirlwind on its own, but when you add 'business owner' to the mix, it can feel like you’re trying to juggle flaming torches while riding a unicycle! When I first started my jewelry business, I was constantly stressed. I felt guilty when I was working because I wasn't with my kids, and I felt guilty when I was with my kids because I wasn't working. It was a cycle of exhaustion that I knew I couldn't sustain. But over the last two years, I’ve found a few strategies that

Hello, fellow jewelry artists! If you’ve been on Etsy for more than a few days, you’ve probably heard the term 'SEO' thrown around like confetti. Search Engine Optimization can feel incredibly intimidating, especially when you just want to focus on creating beautiful pieces! But I promise you, once you understand the basics, it’s like finding the perfect lighting for your photos—everything just starts to pop! I’ve spent the last year diving deep into how Etsy’s search algorithm works, and I want

I have the cutest little assistant in the studio today! My youngest is obsessed with 'helping' me organize my bead trays. While she’s mostly just making a colorful mess, it’s such a joy to have her by my side. Balancing work and parenthood isn’t a perfect science—it’s more like a messy, beautiful art form! Some days are more 'work' and some days are more 'parenting,' and I’m slowly learning to be okay with the ebb and flow.
I love that my kids get to see their mom building something from scrat

Whew, today was a bit of a testing day! I had a shipping delay on a custom order due to a local storm, and the customer was understandably frustrated. In the past, I might have let a stressful interaction like that ruin my whole afternoon, but today I chose a different path. I took a deep breath, looked at a photo of my kids for a little perspective, and responded with as much grace and transparency as I could. I offered a small discount on a future purchase and made sure to provide frequent tra

Let’s talk about something that isn’t always 'sparkly' but is totally essential: Budgeting! As a jewelry artist, it’s so easy to get carried away buying beautiful gemstones and new tools. But as a business owner and a single parent, I have to be incredibly disciplined with my cash flow. I’ve tried so many different apps and templates over the years, but I’ve finally found a budgeting tool that works perfectly for my Etsy shop. It tracks my COGS (Cost of Goods Sold), shipping fees, and even those

Oh my goodness, I am literally doing a happy dance in my kitchen right now! I just hit 500 sales on my Etsy shop! I can hardly believe it! When I started making jewelry at my dining room table two years ago, I was just looking for a way to stay home with my little ones while still contributing to our family's future. I never imagined it would grow into this beautiful community of supporters and friends. This 500th sale feels like such a huge milestone for me and my kids—they even helped me celeb

Good morning, everyone! The sun is shining here in Miami, and I’ve already had my first cup of coffee while the kids were finishing their breakfast. Today is going to be a big day in the studio! I’m finally finishing up that batch of ocean-inspired resin earrings that so many of you have been asking about. Being a single mom and running this Etsy shop isn’t always easy, but it’s mornings like this—where I can breathe in the salt air and get my hands busy with beads—that remind me why I started t
