Summer vacation is the right time for people to spend some time at the beach. Women are always passionate about their dressing. When they are going to the beach then they have right time to show their sexy side by wearing right kind of dresses. Your blog will help women to choose right kind of outfits for beach in the summer. Keep sharing information like this.

BeadsbyAree is the most unprofessional service I have ever dealt with… Fact check : See Better Business Bureau complaints :

I am all for supporting black business, but I am not for getting scammed… This girl takes 1 month to get product to you., Sadly it is not because she gets her fabric from India, its because she is waiting for the paypal cash to get into her account.. That way she can ship your items haphazardly and not pay for sign upon receipt and have paypal deal with issuing you a refund…. She is a mess

OMG yes! But I didn’t think of the better business bureau. It’s sad because you want to spend your money supporting black businesses but not when they don’t deliver good service. Not only was the service bad but my items didn’t even look like what online. Ughh
