Belly Charms is run by Sonya who is a mother of two young boys. Sonya had the idea of Belly Charms in 2007 after her second son was born. Sonya had a hard time finding places that offered pregnancy belly rings and I can contest to that also as I found one place when I had my son in 2006 that offered shipping to Canada and was a reasonable rate for both the rings and shipping. I find one of the best things about Belly Charms is that Sonya does it all! She does the emailing, putting the orders together and shipping out. What a busy mommy! She is friendly and fast at replying to emails and shipping your products out.
Sonya has this to share with all my wonderful readers :)
"If you have an idea, you just have to run with it. Four years ago
the only thing I could do on a computer was send an email. I am
serious! I knew nothing about website design. Nothing!! The last 4
years have been total trial and error. I have made some great business
decisions and I have made some bad ones too. At first Belly Charms was
an "extra income" business for me. I was working as an aerobic
coordinator for a large health club chain, personal training some
clients and teaching about 15 classes a week. My boys were little and
they went to the gym with me when I taught in the mornings, then stayed
home with my husband when I taught at night. It was great. When we
relocated to North Florida 2 years ago I quickly learned there were no
big health club chains, and I was very upset. I loved teaching and
managing...it had been my career since I got out of college. We needed 2
incomes, so I poured everything into Belly Charms.
In
addition to the pregnancy belly button rings and mother's bracelets, I
have added Mom-To-Be Jewelry, Child Safety ID Wristbands, Parking
Pals....and I have a few other products from mom owned businesses I plan
to add in the next few months. I have always been a hard worker and I
was determined to replace my lost income. I am finally teaching classes
again, but only a few a week. Belly Charms is now my job and teaching
is what I do to keep my sanity. I have a husband, 2 boys who are 4 and
5, 2 dogs, 2 cats and 2 hamsters. I never sleep more than 6 hours a
night, but I get to work at home. I get to be a full time mom and run a
full time business. I will catch up on sleep when they both get to
Elementary School."
I tried out 2 flexible belly rings and a steel one from Belly Charms. These are the 3 I tried:
I really love the look on all of them of these belly rings. The flexible was are very comfy and are just the right size for my belly. They don't hang to low and rub on any of my clothing. You don't even realize it is there, no getting used to it either. It is great comfort from the beginning. The clear one is wonderful if you don't really want it to stand out when maybe swimming. All the colored rings are very vibrant. Yes, I know the color didn't show up that well in my picture but head over to Belly Charms and you will see all the great colors Sonya has to offer. They are easy to switch and thread on, I have had some in the past that were hard to put the balls on the ends.
Prices for the Belly rings start at $2.99 and up. The personalized bracelets, anklets and necklaces make great gifts for moms to be, moms or grandmas. The belly rings are also an great idea for baby showers! Hopefully someone isn't reading this or she may guess what she is getting for part of her baby shower gift.
