In the beginning I sold via internet & locally within the states of North Carolina & Pennsylvania. Once I moved to Costa Rica, I no longer sold via internet due to shipping costs & duty fees. I instead opened a small shop called Seventy7 Boutique & sold solely in the country of Costa Rica. Now that I am back in the States, I am looking forward to starting a brand new venture & hopefully one day make a name for myself.
