Hi, I’m Hyra

I’m a mother of three, a nurse, an entrepreneur, and the founder of Harper & Hyra Jewelry.

Bliss & Sparkle is my personal corner of the internet — a place for the things I’m thinking about, learning about, building, wearing, reading, questioning, discovering, and occasionally obsessing over.

I write about life as I experience it. That might mean nursing and healthcare one day, building a business the next, and handbags, personal style, books, travel, creativity, money, or some completely random thought the day after that.

There isn't one subject here on purpose.

The common thread is my point of view.

I’m also building Harper & Hyra, my handmade jewelry brand in California, and you’ll find parts of that journey here too — the ideas, decisions, experiments, lessons, and everyday reality of trying to build something meaningful from the ground up.

Some things I write simply because I want to remember them. Some because I have an opinion. Some because I learned something useful and think someone else might find it useful too. And sometimes I’m writing because I’ve become completely fascinated by something and need somewhere for all those thoughts to go.

That somewhere is Bliss & Sparkle.

Consider this a growing archive of a life being lived, things being built, and whatever has my attention along the way.

Welcome to the jungle.
