It was a long road to get here. Being a paramedic, then jewelry designer and now esthetician, I have certainly spent my days, reinventing myself. Phew! I created the jewelry when life changed and I needed to make ends meet with a tiny baby to take care of. Things were tough. I wanted more for him and the world was full of possibilities. I just needed to press on.
.
Years down the road, COVID took the world by storm and our beautiful little jewelry shop took a nose dive. With no income and little to do with my new jewelry creations, I once again, re-evaluated life and considered my options. I had no less than a decade of creating jewelry and a tremendous amount of medical education and training to fall on so I decided to embark on a new direction: esthetics! Lots of hope and lots of risk, ...Oh boy... and back to school I went. (Things are definitely harder when you're older.)
.
Along the way, we lost our both of our beloved fur babies, (Kirby & Potato the pugs), we struggled with electrical dilemmas, had a roof leak, and lost our entire savings on a graduation trip for my son when the rental house refused to refund our payment during COVID.
.
Still, we pressed on. With the help of family, we did all that we could to retro-fit esthetics into my store while keeping the jewelry and accessories front and center. We made it happen with our unique concept boutique - spa!  It's just right and really works in our little location on Newport Ave; full of jewelry, accessories, organic beauty products and our very own apothecary items.
.
So here we are; a local family making it work in Bend, Oregon. It's a great place to live and dream. But making dreams a reality, are not lost on us.
 

We truly hope you'll stop by to see the jewelry or to chat about a facial or spa service.

Come check out this unique concept boutique. Get pampered! You're going to love it!
