Good morningggg all you wonderful people!
Long post alert. Ya’ll know I’m a rambler. I just like to be honest and real. 🤷🏼♀️ that gets wordy.
This page is gonna be quiet for a week after today… because I will be sailing the high seas on my FIRST EVER CRUISE!! I am going with a very good friend of mine (and she also happens to be a Disney connoisseur!) also realized we’ve been friends over 20 years now! She was my boss years and years ago and remained close even after we didn’t work together anymore, and that’s RARE!
It’s been a very long time coming, booked over a year ago, paid off little by little over the last like 15 months or whatever it’s been at this point. I’ve been back and forth about it a lot. I’ve had lots of criticism from others, all due to just being in a tough economy and my family has been on the struggle bus (which is why this biz is so important to me!!) but then I got to thinking, and two of my closest, best friends reminded me: I work harder than anyone i know. I work at my job with the government (for over ten years now) (and it’s a 45 min commute one way- so that’s an 11 hour day every day!) dealt with all the BS that’s come along with that the last two years, i take care of my kids, i take care of my husband, i take care of my parents, I make sure they all have the things they need and most of the things they WANT. I take care of my house (anyone who knows me well knows I’m a complete ocd nut job about my house) I have given up a LOT of things the last year. And I work this side business day and night. Every day. I have pushed and promoted and crafted til late hours after an already long day, just to be prepared for events or finish orders or to get new things out and hope that people love them. I work NONSTOP. My brain never ever gets a rest (also…thinking more and more that I’m dealing with undiagnosed adhd/auadhd) and I have been in a state of constant stress and fight or flight has been activated for months. I don’t know how to stop. I have not spoken to friends that I used to talk with daily. I’ve been so focused on my family within my own four walls and making better life for us all, that I have pushed everyone out and had no release for all the stress and worry and the exhaustion- but also the good things. (Like planning this trip) no one knew.
So yea. I’m going on this trip. I’m gonna wear my mouse ears, dress up as a pirate, explore Mayan ruins, basque in Bahamian sun, and drink margaritas. It’s a week. I think i deserve a week. I’ve worked my ass off, and the day I get back- I will start working my ass off again. I have an event next month that’s going to be epic. I need to be refreshed and in a better headspace so I can rock Monster Mania!
In the meantime, I am a little concerned about my page and how badly this will tank the algorithm and my visibility. Any ideas how to prevent that?! I’m all ears (mouse ears!) but seriously- I am super worried how to build that momentum back up.
I’m also worried that I’m going to have a huge stock of these fall and Halloween earrings left because October will be half over! So let’s get them moving! How about another 🚨🎉FLASH SALE🎉🚨 before I fly out tomorrow morning?!
Ten bucks each pair of fall/halloween earrings. OR 3/$25!!!! (A handful are priced differently, but noted in the caption) If anyone orders before 5pm today, I can ship out before I leave! Otherwise they will be shipped next Thursday.
All proceeds go to my “buy jewelry in Mexico and Bahamas to curate inspiration!” fund! Or call it whatever you want 😂 I just don’t want to come home and have dozens of these earrings to stash away! I will need NEW supplies for NEW inventory!!
Actually as an added bonus, anyone who does the 3/$25 deal, I’ll cover your shipping! (That’s essentially like getting a free pair!!) but HAS TO BE PAID today!!!!
🚨🎉🖤🙏🏼🎃🍂🍁🛫🚢🏝️🇲🇽🇧🇸🌊👙🐚🎡🎢🎠🎆🎇
