    Spoke to Faith and she was very helpful and took good care of me, can't wait to get my beads and assemble the bracelets.

    Did not understand all the junk offerings of unwanted items as the final step to completing my purchase. Thought I was done, and almost closed out site when I finally noticed "No thanks complete my purchase button. Had to choose that button 2 times to complete purchase. Find that very confusing and deceptive trying to trick people into accidentally buying products they do not want. A big negative for me when dealing with a business.
