Today we’d like to introduce you to Lizbeth Ramirez.
Hi Lizbeth, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My story I would say is one of courage, perseverance, and most of all finding the light at the end of every tunnel. It’s a journey of healing & self-discovery that has led to what I believe is truly my life purpose. Ever since I was a little girl I would love to make little crafts to gift to others. I’ve always been very creative and would make drawings, bracelets, and pretty much anything that came to my mind with the soul purpose of making their day a little brighter.
My childhood was pretty tough. Coming from a home with Domestic violence and any other types of abuse. The world of Crafting became my safe place. It was my escape from it all. A place I felt useful and the tough of knowing that I was going to make another person happy with something I had made with my own hands would fill my heart with joy. Many factors would always stop me from reaching my full potential tho. l became a mom at a very young age and that little girl became my all. Later on, got married and had 3 other beautiful girls. I dedicated my life to being a full-time mom and forgot about my own dreams. I would still sell jewelry to make ends meet but something was missing. I felt empty inside. My lack of self-love was horrible. Everything I went thru led me to a depression that I Honestly would wake up just for those 4 girls. After doing a lot of self-healing and personal growth I was back at it. I was stronger than ever. Once I learned to truly believe in myself I went for it all. I started making bracelets, Floral arrangements, and so much more.
My daughters love crafting with me, especially my Nicole she is my mini Business partner. She comes to every vendor event with me. We pack orders and really love what we do… My daughters are my inspiration not only in life but in this Business. That is where I got the name BNXB which stands for the initial of each one of my girls. I want to make them proud and leave them a lesson that their mom never gave up no matter how tough things got. I make every order with love and you can tell I pour my heart in what I do. My dream is to continue to grow this Business and to put a smile on my client’s faces with the stuff we make for them. I also want to inspire other women like myself who have ever felt like they aren’t good enough to love themselves and get out there and find their special talent. That one thing that makes you special in your own unique way.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It hasn’t been easy. There were moments when I would see no interaction on my business page or have any sells and I would question if I was doing the right thing in following this dream. Then out of nowhere I get beautiful encouraging msgs from friends telling me how I inspire them to go after their own dreams. I think my biggest obstacle has always been the what-ifs in my own head. I’ve learned to quiet that voice inside now and to tell it that we are capable of amazing things and everything will turn out fine.
As you know, we’re big fans of BNXB Creations and Accessories. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
BNXB specializes in turning anything ordinary into something extraordinary. We are known for making beautiful gifts. Our flower bouquets and personalized items have been a hit. Our famous gold-plated semanarios are handcrafted in Mexico. I love being able to bring a little bit of my Culture to this beautiful Country. What sets us aside from others is that we don’t do this just to make money. (Although it’s very much needed don’t get me wrong.) 😜 We do this because it’s Genuinely our passion knowing that with every order we aren’t just delivering a Bouquet or a piece of jewelry cup etc. We are giving you something someone ordered just for you to let you know how loved you are. We always look for ways to give back to our community. In December we hosted our 1st small Christmas Event and invited local businesses to come set out their little table. Santa came to take pics with the kids and everyone had a great time. We look forward to doing more similar events to continue to bring joy to those around us.
What matters most to you?
Making someone happy with our orders is what matters most to me or simply knowing that someone feels motivated to keep going just by a post we make is amazing. That’s why I try to always post an encouraging msg with every post. We all have inter battles we never talk about. I want to bring a little light somehow thru something I make, sell, or do. I think going thru all that tough stuff helped after all because it’s given me the kind heart I have thanks to it.
