Welcome to Just Flow. My name is Bianca and on this page, I would like to introduce you to my company.
Just Flow has grown from a small online store with just Flow Remedies crystal essences to a fully stocked store with Flow Remedies crystal essences, Miron violet glass and crystals as main products, with connecting products (and, I have to admit, some not so connected products that struck my fancy :D), like pendulums, dowsing rods, incense, sun catcher crystals and more.
Just Flow focuses mainly on retail customers, therapists (Flow Remedies/violet glass) and small producers/cottage industries (violet glass). At Just Flow, itÅ› possible to order just one of an item, for instance because you want to experiment with it or simply only need one. And if you need a few boxes or packs, I can supply that as well. Almost everything is available from stock, barring a few exceptions with a very low turnover. Of those items I've chosen to keep limited or no stock, but they are available on demand.
The story behind Just Flow is one of naturally going from one thing to the next, and the timeline below gives a bit of an overview of its history:
2010
In this year, the name of the store was changed to Just Flow as a result of moving it to a separate hosting account. The name Just Flow popped up during a car trip. I originally wanted Flow as the domain name, but that one was taken and I didn't have much luck thinking of something else. So I got frustrated and thought 'Dang it, I don't want to think of something else, I just want Flow'
Ding ding ding, do you remember the movie Jewel of the Nile? A running joke is that Joan is trying to get Al-Julhara to understand that her name is just Joan, but he keeps calling her Just Joan instead. So, I did get to use just Flow, a.k.a. Just Flow, with the added double meaning of going with the flow.
Or rather, because a wise man once told me that only dead fish go with the flow: finding a balance between surrendering to the flow of life or fighting against it. Come to think of it, that's more like 'changing what you can change and accepting what you can't change'.
OsCommerce wouldn't work on the new server, my main modules wouldn't work with the new version of OsCommerce and after a week of struggling, I threw in the towel and switched to Magento.
2020
Another big step: I finally reached my breaking point with Magento 2 maintenance and trouble shooting and threw in the towel. So I went looking for an alternative, and if you are reading this, the switch has been made.
The downside of SAAS (Software As A Service) is that I have less influence over the available features. On the other hand, I don't have maintenance tasks and Magento gremlins to deal with, so there is that. I've had to make a few large and small concessions, but also gained some features that were on my wishlist. On the whole, I can live with it
Me and Magento 2 had a bit of a love-hate relationship
. When it worked, it was amazing, but the times that it didn't, it was frustrating me to no end.Outsourcing proved to be a dead end because of the costs, so it was time for something else.'When nothing goes right, go left', right?

2014
Murphy's law struck during what was supposed to be a simple upgrade to a faster hosting package.OsCommerce wouldn't work on the new server, my main modules wouldn't work with the new version of OsCommerce and after a week of struggling, I threw in the towel and switched to Magento.
2014
Another expansion: adding the full Miron violet glass product range.2018
Another switch: Magento 2, with a new web host and a new theme.I also released a large batch of essences, clearing my back-log a bit.2019
Some upgrades to the store, like a premium theme, privacy module and some modules to make life more comfortable.2020
