Build a Custom Gift Box: Bella Vita's Guide

Build a Custom Gift Box: Bella Vita's Guide

Last Tuesday, a woman stood in our Little Rock studio for nearly an hour, paralyzed by gift options. "I just want her to FEEL how much I've been thinking about her," she said, near tears. That's when I showed her our anchor method—the secret to building custom gift boxes that tell a story instead of feeling random. After 15 years of handcrafting in Arkansas, we've learned: start with one meaningful piece and let it guide everything else.

Solo in Costa Rica: My Adventure as a Wedding Guest in Manuel Antonio

Solo in Costa Rica: My Adventure as a Wedding Guest in Manuel Antonio

I was flattered to be invited to my friend Meghna's wedding in Costa Rica, but a bit unsure about traveling internationally by myself. Turns out, I'm built for solo travel! From hiking to waterfalls with strangers-turned-friends to watching dolphins from a catamaran, this trip proved that attending a destination wedding alone can be the perfect mix of celebration and personal adventure. Plus, the universe had a surprise in store - this Little Rock jewelry artist somehow ended up touring a gold museum and jeweler's studio in San Jose. Kismet? Magic? Whatever it was, I'm grateful for every moment of this Pura Vida experience.
