Let’s Build a Cart 👀 (aka… girl math at its finest)

Building a cart is about balance.

Especially if you’re aiming for that free shipping sweet spot 😏

Let’s break it down.

If you’re shopping 15mm solids only…

You’d need roughly:
👉 480 individual beads
👉 OR about 6 bead bundles

Is that realistic? Probably not.
(Unless you’re going ALL IN and I respect that 😂)

💡 Here’s the smarter way

Instead of loading up on just one thing…

Mix your cart.

Add in:
✨ Prints
✨ Focals
✨ Accessories (pens, clips, keychains)
✨ Teethers
✨ Clearance finds (don’t sleep on these 👀)

And just like that… Bam.
You’ve hit your free shipping threshold.

💸 Now let’s talk value (this is where it gets good)

That $15 you didn’t spend on shipping?

Here’s what that could get you instead:
👉 ~12 focals
👉 ~57 15mm solids
👉 ~22 prints
👉 ~25m of cord

That’s not nothing.
That’s a full-on upgrade to your cart.

🧠 The takeaway

Don’t just throw items in your cart and hope for the best.

Go in with a plan:
✔️ Start with your must-haves
✔️ Add pieces that complement your designs
✔️ Fill in with value items

Because the goal isn’t just to hit free shipping… It’s to walk away with a cart that actually works for you.

💅 And finally…

Hello girl math.
Goodbye shipping fees.
