Where do you see your career in 5 years?
I would like to make more than ears pop, and also own a brick and mortar boutique.
What was your motivation behind starting your blog, business, career, etc.?
I started JXL because I had a hard time finding big unique lightweight earrings. When I started 4 years ago I couldn't find anything over 3 1/2 inches other than the basic hoop and if I did find something the earring was very heavy and everyone had that same pair. So I started making my own, that way I could guarantee myself that they would be one of a kind and light on my ears.
