    Shopping experience was wonderful. I love most of your products. Only thing I would change is the kits. I'm a plus size girl and the bracelet and necklace kits are too small for me. I make them work by adding to the kits from my stock. Offer different sizes in the kits or add enough to the kits for those of us who need larger sizes.
