✨ Welcome to The Bead Buzz ✨ Spilling the beads… starting with me!

Hi 👋
I’m Angie—not Angela (we’re setting that straight right out of the gate 😏).

I’m a Leo, which basically means I bring a little fire, a little flair, and a whole lot of passion into everything I do. I’m artsy to my core… and athletic? Absolutely not. If I’m running, something is chasing me. End of story.

I’m a mom to Owen (my world ❤️), partner to John, and we’ve got the cutest little sidekick—our crested gecko, Christo. Yes, a gecko. Yes, he’s adorable.

Before beads took over my life (in the best way), I’ve had a few different chapters—Optical, Travel, and now Insurance. Safe to say, I’ve done a little bit of everything. But through all of that, something was always missing…

✨ Creativity ✨

And then… B&B happened.

There wasn’t some perfectly mapped-out business plan or “this is the logical next step” moment. Honestly? Something about this business just spoke to me. You know when you feel that pull and you can’t really explain it—but you just know? That was it.

I needed a creative outlet.
I needed something that felt like mine.
And I found it in beads.

What I didn’t expect?
The community. The connections. The way this little world of makers shows up, supports each other, and creates the most incredible things.

Now I get to be surrounded by products I love, people who inspire me daily, and a business where I can pour every ounce of creativity I have.

And this blog?
This is where I’m spilling it all.

💬 Behind the scenes
💬 What’s selling (and what’s not 👀)
💬 Business real talk
💬 New ideas, trends, and probably a little chaos

If you’re here—whether you’re a maker, a small business owner, or just bead-curious—you’re in the right place.
