I've been posting bunches of new collections, this one is one of my favorites! 🩵🤍🩷 The Gender Euphoria box is made from largely destashed and a few vintage breads as well. Made to be able to create several projects right from it. I can see bracelets from those large hearts and necklaces with the drops. But you get to decide! 📿💜📿 So many options, but there is only one of these collections. And because we are a zero-waste business, some of these beads are the only ones we have, and if you want them you have to get this box. 🩷🤍🩵 Available on our website and Etsy. And... If you buy and let me know you know about the contest I'm running and your purchase is an entry you will get 1 entry per dollar spent, and one for your response. You can also share the contest post and tag some friends (be sure to tag me too, so I can track!) contest ends March 21

This lovely set was made by our customer Michelle @gregersenmichelle from our subscription curated collection Lilac Lemonade. We no longer do monthly subscription packages, but we have LOTS of beads and plenty of Curated Collections you can buy. And right now we are running a contest to help inspire you to let us know what you think about one crucial question. Please see the previous post and/or visit our website for more information.

The question: Should I continue to operate the website, or just sell on Etsy etc? The backstory: My college bestie and I decided to open a small zero-waste bead subscription company in January of 2020. We designed it specifically so we would make sure we spent time together regularly because we are both moms and it's hard to make time for friends. We thought our combined expertise and would help us earn a little and have some fun. It worked, we loved building the collections getting creative with the packaging and connection with our customers. But as it happens, life changes. When I moved away it became more difficult and the fun was slowly becoming drudgery. Larissa decided she was done, and so I bought her out of the business.  As I have been assessing and inventorying and figuring out what next I keep coming back to this one question. Should I keep the website? We needed it when we began to do subscriptions, but now that isn't a thing. Since January I haven't gotten any orders from there, but I could give it a make-over and try and drive more traffic that way.  If I close the website I also lose the email address, and the occasional person who finds HeyBeads! from past YouTube videos on our channel and others.  So I'm genuinely asking, what do you think? I will do whatever the majority of folks choose.  Contest Details: Responding to the Question Gets you 1 Entry - you can only answer once You may simply respond via email, but better is following us and: Reposting the Contest on Facebook, IG or TT gets 2 entries plus another 2 for every person you tag (be sure to tag us, so we know)  Posting a project you have made with our beads gets 10 entries (you must tag us) Making any purchase between now and the contest end gets 1 entry for every dollar spent (rounded to the the nearest dollar) 3 winners will be chosen at random and will receive a gift code for $60, $30 or $15. THANK YOU!

One of the great things about our zero waste business is the fun that comes from making one of a kind curated collections from destashes and vintage beads, like this one 'Rah Rah Rasputin' which is available on our website and Etsy.

Changes are happening behind the scenes at HeyBeads! We built a company founded on certain eco friendly principles and the desire to work together. But life changes, and it just wasn't feasible to be running a partnership in two locations. So I bought out Larissa and I am now the soloprenuer of this wonderful zero waste bead business! That the most of it packed up in the back of my car! Now I'm unpacking, inventorying and assessing all of the beads. I'll likely have some sort of celebration when it's done. In the meantime, I'd love to hear any thoughts on how HeyBeads can help your projects, or if you have any thoughts at all you'd like to share!
