Crystal Lerma loves to dress and has a keen eye for fashion. After realizing how infrequently her clothing was worn, she ventured into entrepreneurship to open a upscale thrift store so that her customers could take advantage of the California retail market - in the midwest.
Crystal has built her business model on accommodating her clientele, offering extended business hours and appointments to make customers feel special from the time they walk in to the time they walk out. The experience will keep you coming back for more!
Crystal describes her ideal client as one who looks to dress "outside of the box" with fashion, those seeking a fashion makeover and refreshed self image. Crystal describes her clientele as those ranging from a variety of shapes and sizes from extra small to 3X.
In the future, Crystal would like to continue bringing fashion to the home of her customers online, while offering high fashion retail products to areas lacking quality clothing options.
Crystal has worked with NEON through attending and selling as a vendor at NEON's retail pop-up events and eventually became a client and friend of NEON.

The ABCD Index stands for Academic Business Current Data Index. It is a free-to-access online platform for scholars, researchers, publishers, colleges, and universities. Its aim: to provide a comprehensive, searchable database of international journals, publishers, and research papers.
The platform claims to verify journals using a set of criteria — such as valid E-ISSN/P-ISSN, publisher name, start year, research area, indexing status, etc.

ABCD Index is an online indexing / journal-directory platform for academic journals across many disciplines — science, engineering, humanities, social science, medicine, and more.
The platform’s goal is to help researchers, authors, publishers, and institutions locate “real” journals, by collecting and verifying details such as ISSN, publisher info, publication frequency, access type (open/paid), indexing status, etc.
ABCD Index assigns a rating (categories A, B, C, D) to journals — based on evaluation parameters like age of journal, regularity of issues, whether peer review is done, whether journal maintains proper formatting and editorial standards,…
Here’s how you can check whether a journal is listed / approved under ABCD Index — i.e. see the list of “ABCD-Index approved journals.”
Go to the ABCD Index website (i.e. open abcdindex.com).
Use the search bar (usually in the middle of the page) and type either
the journal name, or
the ISSN/P-ISSN (if you have it).
Press “Search.” A list of journals matching your query will appear.
Use the filters on the side (or top) of the results page to narrow down by:
Indexing → select “ABCD-Index” to show only journals approved by ABCD.
(Optional) Rating → ABCD uses a category system: A, B, C, D. Select the rating you want (e.g. “A”) and filter accordingly.
(Optional) Other criteria such as country, free/paid…
