shop life

SO. I own a shop. I haven't been around the blogging world for quite some time BUT since I am back and wanting to get serious about it again.. I really want to start sharing my life with you..(whoever you may be/myself in a few months when I forget that I posted this.) Okay. SHOP LIFE is weird and amazing and what I call my "WORK". I mean, it totally is work. So much work. But work I happen to love. I want to post once or so a week about the shop on here to give you a little insight to the seemingly daunting feat of shop owning. Today, I set out on getting a post up AND having one ready for tomorrow. I am paying bills, getting my sales taxes in order, shipping phone cases and cleaning. Each day I feel pressure from various parts of the shop.. whether it be money, appearance, online presence, bills being due, upcoming events/sales, managing products, SHOPPING, restocking things like bags/printed stuff/tags. The work is ever flowing. Sometimes it can feel really overwhelming (or at least if I let things get out of control (by being lazy or emotional(a few of my weaknesses))). BUT, here I am.. making it all work. Im really happy to have the shop and super excited to start sharing it on here with you!

In the next few weeks I hope to share---
