Hello everybody. I just talked to myself for a minute while I was early, very excited, and then I realized I never even hit 'start live' so let's try that again. I'm just gonna pull open my iPad so I can see your comments and then we'll get right into our stuff for today. I am very excited, we have an awesome amount of stuff here. I see some waving already, which is a great sign. I've been really hoping that this was gonna kind of increase and that we would get more people that would wanna come and talk to me. I don't wanna just sit here and talk at you guys all the time. But the Belly Ring of the Month Club is finally live. I can't wait to talk with you about it. I'm gonna talk with you about a few other things first and then we'll get into that and actually, that kind of includes our top five today too. I know I've been bringing those in.
So, our first top five ... Actually, this isn't a top five, I lied. I jus went live on Instagram a minute ago and someone pointed out to me that they really liked these plugs so I went and grabbed a pair. These are the Tree of Life plugs and they are very cute. They come in a couple different color gemstones so make sure that you check those out on the site. They're very cute and I can think you search 'The Tree of Life'. Hi. I see so many hi's. Thanks for coming for your first time, Danielle. I hope you come every week. I want these to be so fun. Oh, my God, somebody waving already. Oh, so excited. Okay.
So, our actual first top five that I'm gonna grab is this cutie and I'm gonna actually get up and show you guys because it's a little baby and it's this cute little rose stud. It's so sweet and simple, which I love, and nice and springy. Sit it there. Our second item of the month, which is actually going to lead me into the Belly Ring of the Month Club, is that we also have a deluxe belly ring bag. This is not the same thing. If you search 'Deluxe Belly Ring' on our site in the keyword search, this will come up. What is does is, there's ... It's about the value of what's in it. So, you might only get three belly rings but you might get six or seven and they're super cool and different. I just wanna open up one of these for you. These are neat because there might be some older things or newer things and anywhere in between that aren't even in stock on the site right not, but also you might snag something once it stocks. You have a lot of options.
I just wanna show you guys out of this one, it looks like there's five in this one. See if I can hold these up. There's a cute little anchor. I'll get right up here. This sweet little anchor right here and then we've got this cute little medallion that reminds me of those old puzzles you had to get the ball through when you were a little kid. These are super cool. There's also this really cool shell ceramic butterfly with the blue titanium and then there's a cute little Eiffel tower, which I love Eiffel towers so I would definitely be rocking this all the time. Then there is just this really simple, cute, blue and fuchsia marble looking effect, like acrylic one. Nice and simple for summer, which I love for pools 'cause once I get in people's pools or the ocean and the water's really tough on them or I just don't wanna chance losing a really important piece. So, that's why I love really different acrylic ones. Oh, my goodness, there's so much more.
My jewelry ... Well, the site's jewelry, we carry everything you can possibly imagine. So, we have a whole handcrafted team. They make all sorts of different things. We have a gold department in house so we have custom made nose rings and nose studs, belly button rings and actually, another top seller this week is the rose gold nose stud with the diamond in it or the cubic zirconia, white cubic zirconia. They're super beautiful and they're made right in the back there. My jewelry, personally right now, I'm big into rose gold and I'm also wearing a copper finish necklace. This is actually necklace as well, one of our handcrafted pieces. I've been loving it so much. It's just a really simple piece and it goes with everything and I just like that it's got a little shine to it, a little crystal to catch your eye but it's not anything colorful that doesn't match anything.
So, finally, the Belly Ring of the Month Club is live. It is here. You can sign up for it right now on our site. There will be a link, I'm sure, on this video after I get done, going directly over there. But if not, if you're on the site, if you click the 'New' tab, it's definitely gonna come right up. If you search 'Belly Ring of the Month Club' in the search bar, it's gonna come right up for you and first and foremost, we are really excited to do these boxes for you guys and right now, these are our starter bags. We are probably going to have different bags, there's gonna be stickers, there's gonna be all sorts of stuff added to this. So, on top of the fact that this is already really exciting, I just can't wait to see where we go with it. I love these little baggies. You get these with our handcrafted things too and I love using them for traveling and separating things. Oh my God, I use them for change and stuff sometimes too, I'm the worst.
Oh, we have some people that have signed up. So, when you get it, make sure you post a picture on Instagram or send me a Snapchat so I can see it 'cause I'm gonna wanna start showing pictures of people wearing these, I'm super excited. So, we'll start out with the ... Christie, our exclusive designer in the house, made me this awesome little thing so I can show you guys all the jewelry and you can see it. So, I'm just gonna unload this little bag here. There's three rings every month. It's gonna be $14.95 and for $14.95, you get up to a $45 value each month in belly rings. The one main piece is always going to be a featured handcraft piece that we are not going to be featuring anywhere else. They're made specifically for the month or the holiday or whatever we decide really. So, these are exclusive, can not get them anywhere else, pieces and then the other two pieces that will be in there, they'll be a set. We'll have a little bit of a flow but also, those two are going to be two pieces that we don't have listed on the site as well. So, these are three exclusive pieces. One is super ridiculously exclusive 'cause they're made right back there by AJ and her team who are all wonderful.
So, this is our Belly Ring of the Month set up for May. We have this beautiful shell belly button ring, it's a little dangly. I'm not always a fan of dangly, but I actually really love this because the shells are around it so it's not uncomfortable. And then here, I'll scoot in a little bit more so you can see. We have this cute little mermaid tail with a seashell. I wanted to try to not force everyone to wear silver so I picked ... This has the purple anodized finish on it and then this last one here, there could be a variation depending on the bag you get. I tried to pick one that's in the middle but yours could be that pink color on top here, it could be teal or it could be white. So, you're gonna get this cute little mermaid setup for the first month and I already have seen/helped pick out for next month and oh my gosh, I can't wait to do these. It's gonna be so fun for you guys to see everything as it goes.
So, right now, I wanna give you some of the specs on this. When you order your first box, you're gonna get charged immediately for the $14.95. If you're an international customer, there is a $5 a month shipping fee but that's gonna be set for you as well. We wanted to make sure that we included everybody and made everything as affordable and convenient for you guys as we possibly could. So, keep that in mind. Your first box will ship within 24 hours. It can take two to seven business days to come to you but then after that, every month, you'll be charged on the 15th and we are trying to secure a day where you should be able to expect them every month. So, it'll be a little bit more consistent. I do wanna add in that the coupon codes that we give out with discounts and stuff are not applicable to these just because they are true to value. We worked really hard on ... We wanted to give you guys the most value for an affordable price but we also wanted to make it so that if you had something come up, things happen, sometimes you just can't afford it or maybe you wanna take a break for a couple months and come back, you can cancel at any time, which is super nice. Not everybody allows you to do that. So, as a customer, as a shopper, I really appreciate that.
We also, just to throw it out there, have a yearly price listed up there as well. I think it's $150 if you wanna pay for the whole year in one shot and that actually gives you two free months. So, that's something to consider if you are for sure gonna wanna receive it for the next year. I personally ... Oh my God, I can't wait for you guys to see everything. They're so beautiful. Yes, all the mermaids ... 'Cause, oh God, how do you not love mermaid things? So, I'm, again, so excited about those and we've gotten so much feedback. Make sure you're sending me all your pictures. I am on Snapchat all the time, pretty much, so if you have a question and you have an answer, or you receive an answer, it's most likely/100% me. So, I talk to a lot of people all the time about issues that they're having or if they need help with jewelry, I know a lot of people contact me with custom sizes, maybe they were pierced with a different gauge needle than is normal for a lot of people. So, I love helping people build their little own pieces if they're having a hard time finding something that fits for them that's already here.
We carry ... Oh my God, we have tens of thousands of products on our site. So, it's super easy to, first of all, find what you want and secondly, we have a huge selection so you're guaranteed to find something. I grabbed a bunch of stuff today. Look at this cutie over here. I just kind of piled it, which is terrible, I should not have done that. But first and foremost, I have these cute little crystal ... These are some of our-
I have these cute little crystals. These are some of our handmade earrings, actually, these hangers. I love these. These are so simple and beautiful with everything. But I did grab some other hangers that I've been loving on so hard. Look at these sugar skulls. These are cute if you have regular ear piercings, like an 18 gauge. You can actually wear these. They're still normal. Just want to make sure I pull this out. There you go. Still a normal little wire. But it also locks so you can put them through tunnels, and they don't fall out. They're super comfortable, and they're lightweight so they don't bother you, but they give you that little bit of flair. We carry a bunch of different styles of these, so make sure that you're checking these out. I absolutely love this pair. I didn't realize we had them until recently, so I just wanted to make sure I shared them all with you.
So there's that. I also tried to bring some industrial stuff today because last week, I had somebody that was asking me about it, and I realized I hadn't brought any in a while. First, I grabbed this nice, simple one that I was enjoying. So this is a bubblegum teardrop gem. It's got the cubic zirconia around it. I love the shape of the teardrop, and I just thought this was a really simple, beautiful industrial piece that would go with a lot of different things. If you can't tell, that's my main goal because I'm showing this jewelry to so many people. I want you guys to see all the different ways that you can wear it and all the different styles that you can wear things.
When I was younger, I wore black plugs all the time, and I wanted everything to be metal and punky and hard core. Now, I'm a little bit more of a accessorizer, and I want gentle, simple, delicate things. But I always like to switch it up too, so it's really fun to see if you can wear this stuff all different ways. If you wear your piercing jewelry in a unique way, please send me a picture because I've been trying to expand on that. I have definitely seen some really cool stuff.
This is actually bringing up a good point with the industrial bars. Some people, everybody's body in general is going to be different. You're going to need a different length bar for almost anything. What I want to point out about the industrial bar just to help you feel a little bit better is if you search, and this is part of the custom stuff I help people with a lot, if you have an odd length or an odd gauge size for a piercing, such as an industrial, if you can find the bar length that you need, both ends screw off. So you can really make your own custom pieces anytime. So if we sell industrial bar that you love but the length isn't right, you should still totally grab it and keep a basic bar that's the right length, and you can swap the ends off.
So what I do for my bellybutton, and you could do it for any piercing, is I keep the simple, basic bar in every metal finish. So I've got it in silver, gold, rose gold, black anodized, and I have blue, purple and a couple other colors, even. And then I switch the ends off of them all the time. Actually, last week, we had shown how to customize jewelry in general, not even for any particular reason but just because it's fun. So I had taken this belly ring and taken the silver ball that had been at the top of it and I changed it to this really, really cute, sparkly purple. It's a different tone. I like the two-tone look. And then this is an amethyst stone, so this is beautiful. Even these, as long as the ball size is stating in the description that it fits a 14 gauge or a 16 gauge or whatever you're looking for, you can build your own. Industrials are 14 gauge pretty much across the board. Again, if you have a 16 or a 12 because of the size of your ear or something like that, you can do all the customization I just explained.
So make sure that you're hunting around. If you want help with that, make sure you hit me up on Snapchat because I actually can take the time to help you out with that. It might take me a couple hours to get back to you after some searching, but I can send you product numbers and stuff to help. As I said before, I am on Snapchat all the time. Bodycandy.com is our handle for Snapchats. The content on there is a little bit more themed. We do meme Mondays. Humpday holes on Wednesdays. Thursdays, we usually feature a piercing of the week. This last couple weeks, we've been gathering info so we took that a little bit later. But that's a really cool segment because if there's a piercing that you've been wanting or that you think is really beautiful in general, maybe after you read about it, you might decide you want it. It's a nice way to see a lot of different people's experiences. I don't even, when I redid my septum a few months ago, which the video for that is up on our YouTube channel and all that and actually probably still on our Instagram somewhere. I had like zero pain. It didn't hurt me at all. But there's a lot of people that message me and say that their septum was horrible.
So that's a really neat segment. I love to do Caturdays and selfie Sundays too, so that gives you guys a chance to send me pictures of your animals and of yourself, which I really like. Make sure you're on there. Instagram and Twitter is @bodycandy. Again, all these different social media sites not only have different curated information that goes up, but you might get to see certain sneak peek exclusives, things like that on different ones, depending on who's doing what that day. So that's really fun. Also, you increase your chances for giveaways because we do different ones on different platforms. So make sure you follow us on all of our social media. Again, I did say we had a YouTube channel as well: YouTube.com/bodycandybodyjewelry. You'll start to see my face there a lot more. I want to start doing some more tutorial videos for you and the piercing experience videos that I was talking about. Those will go up periodically.
We have a fantastic piercer named James that we go to once a month, and a few of us get pierced. I had just done my septum, so I had to let myself heal up. But I am getting pierced again soon, just to put that bug in everybody's ear. Maybe I'll go live for that again either on Instagram or on Facebook or something so you guys can watch me either be a stone and be super strong or watch me cry like a baby. It could go either way, depending on what I'm getting.
We love doing all different things so that you guys can see different parts of what we're doing. If there's anything that you wish you could see that you don't anywhere, please leave it in the comments. I've been trying to read back through these and do a little bit more of what you guys are asking for. So if you love seeing product shots on Instagram, please tell us that. If you prefer seeing people wearing the jewelry on Instagram, tell us that. I've been trying to mix it up a little bit, and I just want to be able to gauge a little bit better exactly what you guys are looking for so that this is as interesting and awesome as it can be for you.
This is super exciting for me that you guys are all being so talkative today. So yeah, we have the top five I went through. We talked about the belly ring of the month club. I know that I have talked to you guys a couple times about [AJ 00:18:46] in the back of handcrafted. But again, I just want to point out that between her department and the gold department back there with [Justin 00:18:54] and [Megan 00:18:55], we make so much of our jewelry in house, so that's really awesome. When you buy from here, you're getting something that is made in the back and shipped out, which I think is an awesome connection. It's nice to see that we don't just order from all over the place and just package it up and do whatever for you.
I guess I can slide back into ... I grabbed a couple more industrial bars and I got caught up on talking about customization. I tried to grab, like I said, a nice little mix of some different finishes and stuff. We have tons of this faux opal stuff in right now, and it is the best. We usually carry everything that we get in pretty much either in the white opal, which is this one. There's a pink. There's a blue, purple. So we get these in lots of options, and I know if you watch live every week with me, you'll notice that I'm always talking about matching/not matching depending on what look we're going for. But I do love when I can match all of my jewelry. It's something that I've always really liked the feeling of. So the cool thing with a lot of these opal pieces is ... I shouldn't say a lot. All of them. They match. So we usually carry them in gold, silver and rose gold. So you have not only a metal finish option, but you can match your entire ear, your face, your bellybutton, any piercings you have. We carry tons of beautiful nipple bars in opals. Oh my god. They're gorgeous.
Make sure you're keeping your eyes out for those. You can even search keyword opal on our site. Also make sure that on www.bodycandy.com, you are utilizing the tabs at the top. Not only is that search bar your best friend, but those tabs are pretty well laid out for you. So if you click new, the first pages that you see, those are literally all the products that just got uploaded on the site that are freshly available. You'll notice those happen a lot toward the earlier part of the week. They happen all the time, but if you're looking at our site constantly, and you want to know when you can expect new stuff to check back, that's usually a good frame of reference for that. Also, it's separated by ear, septum, bellybutton. We have it all broken up. So you can search under those by subcategories as well, which is really cool. There's also a tab at the far right hand side that's going to say shop more jewelry, and if you just click that, it gives you a list of everything. It's like an index. I really like that when I'm having a hard time finding something, although I use the keyword search the most.
Anytime that you guys are messaging me on Snapchat and asking me if we carry something, that's what I do. I go to my website and I put it in the search bar, and I see if I can find it for you, and I'll send you a product number. Not that I mind helping, but if you wanted to know how to do that on your own, I use our site. I don't use any background information or anything like that.
Thanks so much for sharing, Betsy. I love when people share and I want more people. I hope you guys all come back next week. This is so cool. Here's another industrial bar. This ...
Here's another industrial bar. This one, I already grabbed the sugar skulls. I don't know what it is with me today with sugar skulls with those hangers, but I saw this blue anodized cutie and I really loved it. It's super summery in color. Also, I don't know about any of you, but I love Halloween and I love the fall so, so much. I feel like when I can find pieces like this that are in spring or summer colors but let me have that fall feel, I love that. If you can't tell that I'm feeling fall, you will be able to tell with this other cute little black anodized spider and spiderweb cutie. I love this so much. The yellow stones in it are just a really, really nice touch. It's simple. It's not a big gross spider or anything like that. It's so cute. Oh, I love this.
We have so much cute holiday jewelry. I don't know if you guys ever look at that, but I do. It's one of my favorite things. I also grabbed ... I've been showing this one the last couple weeks, but just to show it again, this rose gold jewel-encrusted moon. Let me try to hold it still. This also has the little opal rate in the little dangly piece there. Again, if you're trying to match your opals, this piece will match with all of it, which is awesome.
Here's another little random piece that I pulled this week, but this is I think one of my favorite new pieces that we have available right now. This is a cute little seamless septum ring. You could also wear it in a Daith or something like that if you wanted as well. I just wanted to make sure you could see it good. Look at how sweet this is. I should show you with the black side. It's got some cute little white leafs on it and just a nice simple little diamond. I really thought this was just so cute. I didn't see it in any other metal finishes or anything like that. It's just a one-off one. I feel like the light did not pick that up well enough. Hold on, guys. I'm going to make sure you can see this one really good because it's cute. It's so cute and little. I'm going to try to hold still up here.
That's better. Sorry. There's a little bit of a lag on what I can see, but I always like to try to make sure that you can see everything well. I think I said at the beginning of the video, but if you see this new little corner that I'm in ... Before, I had been moving around and doing different things. This is going to be my more permanent setup. I love this so much. I have this cute comfy couch. Let me see. Betsy, we're talking about our website, Body Candy Body Jewelry. This is where I come to show everybody different products and talk about just whatever you guys really want to talk about and show you all of our new cool options.
Yeah. You're going to see this corner liven up over time. I can't wait. I've got some stuff on the shelves right now, but it's going to look even cooler in the next couple weeks. If you have any suggestions below of something that you would think is a cool prop for my shelf, comment back because I definitely could use help. Also, again, if there's anything you want to see, any jewelry that you have tried to find that we don't carry, anything ... Anything, anything. Leave it in the comments because we here at Body Candy all like to read through these later and try to give you what you guys are looking for, which I love. It's one of the things I love about working here.
I did not do a feature section on Christie earlier today, but Christie is our in-house designer. I actually just saw these out of the corner of my eye. I want to make sure that I show you guys ... These are some other new things that we are carrying. We have these really cute geometric shapes. These are all made in-house. Here's a cute little panda. Then there was a unicorn. I think these are so unique, which I really love. Oh, I dropped one. Here's the cute little heart. I love everything hearts. Some butterflies. Oh my god. I love these so much. Our Body Candy Exclusive, the belly rings and the tragus studs, they come out every couple of weeks. Again, those are in-house designed by Christie. You can't find them anywhere else.
Those are really cool because there's usually 8 to 10 pieces in their little collection. They all match. Right now I think our newest collection that's up is still the alien. The Out of This World package. I took home pretty much all of them because I love them. I know we're going to have some more new ones coming up in the next week or two. I can't wait. Those will always be on the live videos when they're coming out, so you guys know. Betsy, we carry every kind of jewelry ever. If you go to bodycandy.com and search 'Daith' either in the search bar or if you go to the ear tab and click down, there's going to be a whole section of Daith jewelry. You should also check out the septum jewelry. A lot of that. They're the seamless rings and the clickers and stuff. Just make sure you know what size measurement to get for the inside of your ear.
Kristen, I'm sorry you had a bad experience. It's been one of those things that anywhere that you go, you're going to hear that people have different experiences. I do my best to go through and make sure that I'm showing you ... All the stuff that I have with me today is awesome. You could have just had a bad time, but I wear all Body Candy jewelry and I love it. I've really tried to be hard on it. My face jewelry and stuff, I don't even take that out. I've been trying to get a good feel on how things wear and I really have had a great experience so far. I've really loved that.
I hope that either you try to give us another chance, maybe order again soon, or even poke around. If you want to talk to me on Snapchat, I would love to talk to you a little bit more. Maybe I can help you find some higher quality pieces that you're looking for. We do have the gold department, so we have the 14-carat gold. I think we have 10-carat options. There's all different things. You can do silver gold and rose gold in that department as well, which I love. We do try to do fast shipping, Jess. Jesse. Sorry. I didn't see the last E. I'm blind.
Our Snapchat name is bodycandy.com. B-O-D-Y-C-A-N-D-Y.-C-O-M is the actual whole handle. Yay, Kelly! I'm so glad you had a good experience. We get lots of that and we post tons of pictures on Snapchat of people that are super happy with their jewelry. Again, the hump day hauls are really cool because that's a nice time to see people put out on a table all of the orders they got that week. It's cool because sometimes you see pieces that you might not have actually searched or might not have come across in your searching. I always see a pile of belly rings and I can always point to one and say, "Oh my god. I looked through the site 100 times this week and I never saw that." I love it.
Yay, Destiny! I love that opal moon. I have it in right now, but I have a dress on so I can't show you guys. It's so cute. Oh my god. I love it. It's just so nice and dainty. The moon is lacy looking. Oh, I love it. Yeah, we carry tons of tongue rings, tons of belly rings. All that kind of stuff. Make sure you're searching through the site. If I haven't said it enough times today, I want to add out that any time you guys want, reach out to me on Snapchat. I am available. Sometimes it takes me a little bit to get back to you, but I do. I love seeing all of your faces and seeing the jewelry that you buy.
Make sure you're checking in every Friday. I will be here every Friday at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. I'm sure you've heard me say this a lot too, but if there's a time that's better for you, please comment that below so that we can see that. Make sure you include your time zone just because that's been definitely tricky. We have international customers all over the world, so I've been trying to find a median time to hopefully hit everybody. I love hanging out with you guys so much and I really hope you come back next week. Instagram, Snapchat is where you'll find us in between those times. We love you guys so much. Have a great weekend!
