I started making jewelry back in 2005 as a hobby. I am an introverted person so I don't go out much and was getting bored with just reading (another passion of mine). It was starting to get on my husbands nerves that I was beading all the time so I decided to start a beading group with my friends so I could get out of the house and bead in peace. My husband nick named me beadhead so I decided to call my business beadhead designs, I changed my jewelry shop to Tiaras and Tofu to reflect my new line of vegan inspired jewelry.

My boss (and fellow beader) told me about Etsy and I was hooked. I ended opening up 4 Etsy shops but right now only really operate 2 of them, 4 was a lot to handle. Soon I will be working on getting my keyfob shop up and going again.

I divorced in 2008 and became a vegan after reading Kathy Freston's book Quantum Wellness. That lead to a lot of reading on the subject and on healthy lifestyle in general and I decided in 2011 to attend the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). I am about to graduate (Oct. 2012) and will be a certified health and nutrition coach. That is my story in a nutshell :)
