Creator Of TrapNBeads

My name is LaToya Turner and I am the owner of TrapNBeads. I started my waistbead business 4 years ago. When I started reserching how to track my weight loss without using a scale. This was a fun way for me to track my weight loss and also use my creativity to create strands for myself. After creating my first strand I was hooked. Something about wearing my bright colored waistbeads make me feel so confident and sexy. Not to mention the joy of watching my waistbead drop lower on my waistline as I started losing the weight. After 6 month on my journey I wanted to share my amazing experience with others. So I created TrapNBeads! I remember staying up all night hand beading each thread one bead at a time. Now 4 years later I’m launching my website to share this gift with others far and wide. To all my new and returning customers I appreciate the support, I’m so thankful 💕📿
