Sometimes you gotta bet on yourself. Sometimes you take a
little pain to show the world how it’s done.
Stubbornness isn’t always the way, but don’t ever let anybody say it ain’t useful. Bell couldn’t resist showing Jimmy Bob Little and his scrappy gang of bullies that she could stand right in the middle of a fire ant hill and not run. Everyone thought she was crazy, and maybe she was, but sometimes a girl doesn’t wanna be underestimated, and anyway, she used the money she won in that bet to buy this shiny red fire-ant pendant.
When it came time for the Sibylant Sisters to make their potion, this bling with a little bite was the first thing to go in. Its kick started their very first spell with its own kinda sparkling gem-cut tenacity. The fire-ant pendant celebrates your bravado, your stubbornness, and your will to not be underestimated. It reminds you that every once in a while you’re gonna wanna challenge the disbelievers to a bet.
Show yourself what you’re made of, and don’t be shy if the rest of the world happens to see it too.
