Most of you know my daughter, Siena, as a fun-loving, crazy-dancing, makeup-loving teenager who ADORES Be Blends. And she is…all of that. She is the driving force behind our social media posts (especially the goofy, “make Mom look like she’s lost her mind” dances and reels), and our online live sales. What most of you don’t know about Siena is that, behind her beautiful smile, is a young woman fighting a daily battle with anxiety. Siena was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder when she was very young and has worked most of her life to overcome her challenges and fears. Like anyone with anxiety, she has good days and bad days, easy years, and incredibly challenging years. Regardless of what hurdles she faces from day to day, she works so hard to brave her anxiety head on, even when it feels really hard to do so.
So, when Siena came to me and asked me if we could make an Aromatherapy Bracelet specifically to bring awareness to anxiety, I couldn’t wait to do it! Siena is drawn to the stone, Kyanite, because of its ability to calm the mind, and create a deep sense of tranquility. I made her an Aromatherapy bracelet with Kyanite beads many years ago, and she’s worn it every day since, so it seemed like a natural choice for Siena’s bracelet.
We are calling this bracelet “No Rain, No Flowers” because in order to see the beauty of the flowers, you must have some rain. It’s a reminder that the rainy days won’t always be rainy, and the rain helps you to appreciate the sunny days even more. Beautiful things grow out of dark times.
I want you all to know, our Be Blends customers and friends, that you play a large role in helping Siena with her anxiety, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for supporting Siena’s cause, and for supporting Be Blends. I truly can’t express my gratitude enough.
With Love,
Stacey
