I left the job and I started doing PR myself.

It was called glitter.

It was J-Lo was big back then.

She still is, but it was sequins glitter.

It was all about the bling back in the day, early 2000s, I guess.

And so I did glitter PR and advertising and I was still doing my jewelry just for customers.

And we got pregnant and I remember thinking, okay, what am I going to do next?

And I made a little collection of jewelry while I was on

you know, basically pregnant with Kate.

I went to jewelry making classes at a local bead shop to learn how to do even, you know, make things a little bit more intricate or different.

And when he was three months old, I decided, you know, let's see if we can sell this.

So I didn't have any proper collection, this little collection.

And I, we had a wooden tea box, like that you take out each little section of tea.

And I put each color mixed collection in each of the little boxes in the tea box.

And I put Kate in a baby Bjorn.

And we started to go to local boutiques in Austin, Texas, and I showed my collection.

And didn't want to really tell anyone I was starting a business.

No, and they already know.

They already know that I'm a failure, okay?

No.
