Robin, founder of Once Upon A Toe, has been wearing Toe Rings for almost 20 years. When she moved to the Bay Area in 1994, her feet received quite a bit of attention, and it was not uncommon to have strangers stop her to inquire about her sparkly jeweled toes! Because there was no one providing custom-fit Toe Rings in Northern California, she created Once Upon A Toe. Having worn Toe Rings for so long provides her with intimate knowledge of her product & the personal experience to know how to size the rings for complete comfort.

In addition to having the business sense to create a successful venture, Robin finds fulfillment daily while catering to the terrific women she meets:

"This business has provided me with the unique opportunity to spend a great deal of time with thousands of women. As a result, I know that females are the nurturers...endlessly giving to their family, friends, & careers, often to the neglect of themselves. So for me, it's really enjoyable to be able to nurture women in this way. It's a feminine little treat just for them! It still amazes me how much joy a Toe Ring can bring to her heart. It really is the little things in life."

Robin & Daren were friends for almost 10 years before they tied the knot. They relish being marriage and business partners! Prior to Once Upon A Toe, Robin worked with abused children and was a live-in nanny for 3 little girls (who also were her very first customers!). Daren has recently earned a Masters Degree in Marriage & Family Therapy. His employment history includes work in social services and as a Marriage & Family Therapist.
