Ever Afther

About

Hey Cougs! Thank you for supporting CougsFirst! My name is Julie and I was a '5-year' Coug from 1987-1992. Now, I am a Coug Mom and absolutely love getting back to Pullman to visit my daughter, friends and volunteer as an advisor at my sorority.

I launched my jewelry brand in the Spring of 2021 after a heartbreaking layoff in January 2020, which was compounded by the pandemic. I wanted to put a bit of sparkle back into the world (literally), while supporting women with my business. Bootstrapped with some severance package money - Ever Afther (formerly Inspired Jules) is handcrafted jewelry and delightful events for soul sisters celebrating connection and savoring moments. Based in Seattle and creating memories everywhere.

Ever Afther is a licensed sorority vendor for all 18 sororities (all at WSU) and permanent jewelry certified. Bulk discounts are available for sororities wanting quality items for various events. We also love offering permanent infinity jewelry parties for sisterhoods, senior celebrations, private parties – no size is too big as we have 3 welding machines to offer a great experience! If you want to learn about our services and how to schedule an event, please see our website https://everafther.com/pages/services.

I love having my own business and finding ways to leverage it to support others. So far, we have raised $5,000 for San Filippo Syndrome Research, $800 for WSU Alpha Gamma Delta’s philanthropy Meals on Wheels, and $1,400 for WSU Panhellenic philanthropy Circle of Sisterhood.

Stay tuned for our podcast giving a voice to all the amazing stories and women I have met over the past 2+ years. Join our community keep updated on what is happening https://tr.ee/BJpJSAABzy.

I look forward to connecting with you! Go Cougs!
