  • we are back with the pop-up shop content! So excited to be getting back into pop-up shops this year. Enjoy the process of candle-making, scrunchie-making, sewing, finishing tote bags, going through my pop-up shop materials, chatting A LOT, and starting to prep for my first pop-up of 2023! Hope you enjoy:)

    Yes to recreating the pop up shop series! But also yes to your process behind DIY-ing your wedding.
    Also, you don't have to keep going just to please your followers/customers. If you want to take a break, you can take a break. If you want to stop, you can also stop. If you want to change your journey as a content creator or maker or designer, you can. Your customers, especially your avid followers, will understand. You might be surprised that taking a sabbatical or changing directions is pretty normal. I guess, no one talks about it on YT much, but it is normal. (Cause I did it and it was okay to my followers, not this channel btw lol)
    Don't be pressured pleasing us! I'm here following you because I feel you enjoy doing your own thing, I don't feel too much pressure to run the business. You just do it because you wanted too. And it's entertaining (sorry that sounds weird, but it's honestly my take). It's just like watching a homeTV something channel. LOL.

    Awesome, I'm a new viewer, I love your tips and experiences. This year is my first time getting exposure for my small business: Walking In Beauty Productions, you gave me much confidence to get involved in the pop-up sales. I love doing it, the meet and greets as well as making some money for my business. I love watching your videos, you go girl.

    Awesome vlog! I make candles too, I make them very often so I wear a respirator 🥲 smells good but not to inhale all the time, even tho it's paraben and phthalate free! Also your packaging is gorgeous 🤩 omg also I used to use a old hairdryer... I got fuzzies in the wax 😭

    You can use 80/12 universal sewing needles for quilting. I do, as the 14’s put a bigger hole in the fabric, unless you are sewing denim or a heavier material.
