I'm Joanna. Most of my career has been smooth sailing. I started my business at the age of 24. The period from 24 to 30 was the peak of my life. My life used to revolve around work and everything was wonderful. But three years ago, everything began to collapse.
My career hit rock bottom, and the family member who raised me and loved me the most also passed away due to illness. No matter how strong I thought I was, I broke down. I stopped exercising, stopped dressing up, hardly smiled anymore and couldn't sleep at night. The worst thing is that I'm confused about the future.
To find the answer, I desperately sought out all kinds of methods to "predict" the future, spending a lot of money - from fortune tellers to tarot card readers. But most of them are of little use. However, one of the fortune-tellers casually suggested that I wear a crystal. She suggested that I wear multi-colored crystals in blue, yellow, purple, white and other colors. I don't believe this will change anything, but I think, why not give it a try?
I started searching online, but the results were overwhelming. Some bracelets cost over 1,000 dollars, while others only cost 6 dollars. Later, I found out that many cheap bracelets are man-made and even harmful to wear. So I went straight to the source - a natural crystal factory - bought some beads and made a bracelet myself.
To be honest, I didn't have high expectations. But something unexpected happened.
Every time I look down at my wrist, the sparkle of those natural gemstones catches my eye. Each bead is slightly different. Some beads have flaws, but they feel... Real and vivid. Blue calms me down, white is pure and healing, and the soft red of strawberry quartz gives me the motivation to keep moving forward. I gradually began to care for myself again and regain my confidence.
That was the beginning of my love for crystals. I began to read and learn about different gemstones, their energies and meanings. When I need to give a business speech, I will wear some gemstones that can bring a sense of stability. When I need peace, I will wear some soft gemstones. Even when I just go to a coffee shop, I will wear rose quartz, hoping to encounter some unexpected good luck. Crystal has helped me rediscover my faith and made me feel beautiful and comforted.
I made bracelets for children, parents and friends. The joy on their faces made me realize that this might not just be my hobby, but could also develop into a brand. A way that not only shares crystals but also brings hope and healing to those in difficult situations.
