ABOUT ME: My name is Shelly and I’m a 50-year-old web geek that jumped off the deep end into the makeup and beauty world. I’ve got normal to dry skin, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage. Cameo appearances by my rescue cats Daffy, Ziva, and Charlie (all girls). Rest in peace, my pretty girl Polly 2014 - 2024.
I purchase most products shown on my channel myself. Occasionally I receive PR, products that were gifted to me with no obligations to review them, which I state verbally when applicable. I was not paid by any product provider to make this video. Paid product placements will always be indicated in writing and verbally; I rarely do them. All opinions are honest and my own. Thanks to UA-cam for sending me the Shop with UA-cam light! When you shop products from within my videos/links, I earn a small commission at no cost to you. I appreciate your support of my work!

You have some amazing energy and talent! I love that you keep yourself busy and productive. It seems you really enjoy your life. Thank you Shelly and I'd love to see more videos like this. 🍁
Admire your drive and determination Shelley! You are such a doer! 👌🏾👌🏾
Chase those dreams!!!
I agree with you Shelley! If you feel you sell a great product, you should be compensated in order to turn a fair profit!
Thanks for taking us along. You are such a worker. Good luck.
Interesting vlog! Glad you did well at your event.
Yes!! Love when you share your life with us! ❤❤❤
Loved the vlog!
Your such a go getter Shelly working full time and living your dream of a weekend and all your spare time. If I wasn't in Australia I'd definitely be buying your skin care. Lots of love ❤️ kisses for kitties.
❤❤❤
I love small vendor events - meeting the makers and knowing the quality and value of products is so important in these days of e-commerce prevalence. Never apologize for the prices of a product made on a small batch scale… made with extra care. Love the vlog and you need to know how awesome the pinks and purples look on you !
Loving this vlog and definitely up for more!!
Those events are a great way to meet new people 😊
I run a crafts farmers market and weeks vary so greatly. There is a happy medium of pricing. Interesting vlog. Thanks!
I personally really like vlogs, and it was cool to see your process for being a fair vendor!
Definitely more vlogs!!
Great vlog. Yes, do more!!!
Good for you! Yeah it's hard work and hopefully you make some great contacts at these events. Loved the video :).
❤
Wow! That’s a lot of work. So fun to Shelly in the wild!!! 😜
Very impressive, Shelly. I can't believe that you did that all yourself, plus created all of the items. You're like the Energizer Bunny! The tee shirts are incredible.
Those little monkeys. Our cats would go nuts! I don't think I'd want a monkey running around my house!
Great job, Shelly. You are Wonder Woman! ❤❤🥰
My cats would definitely lose their minds 🤣
I don't know who would attack who!!😅😸🐒@@goow
Oh I love this kind of video from you ❤
The sample trays wow🎉
Hi Shelly! that was fun and interesting, you're such a hard worker! I wish I lived closer to you so I could stop by and meet you, and of course get some goodies 😄 I wanna try your skincare but first I need to finish up what I already have to make space for more products 😆... anyway, thnx for taking us along... take care, hugzzz 💜
Love your content, so inspiring! One thing I do when I get out of the sun that has really helped my skin if it’s burned and help prevent new sunspots from having super sensitive shin to the sun, is using The Ordinarys Alpha Arbutin. It is amazing at reversing the suns damage of the day. I know how passionate you are about your skin and super adamant about using sunscreen so thought maybe it would be beneficial so that all that hard work won’t come undone if you get one strong sun day. I have always had issues with my makeup staying while sweating and some that are super affordable and beautiful still are Rimmels Lasting Finish foundation, Neutrogena radiant tinted moisturizer, even as a base, and Covergirl Clean Matte foundation all stay on pretty well. I powder with Wet and Wilds translucent loose powder and Elf Hd loose powder and then use the new Loreal setting spray in the red aerosol can, or Elf setting spray and my makeup stays fresh while out and about, dancing, going on adventures and I have combination skin leaning more towards oily in the t and dryer in the upper cheek area. Just thought I would share this with you though, and others who may find it difficult to find something affordable with lasting power, through many a trial and error.
Hi Shelly, ladybug, you need a side kick to help you set up and tear down ? Whew I know you e got to be pooped, but so glad you had a good sales days and love that you shared with us. Absolutely love Your your vlogs. Thank you. Hope you get some great, much needed restful sleep before work week starts.
Hope all went well!
Great products!
Very inspiring!
All the Best Shelly, for all your future endeavours. Yes would love to watch more vlogs and take care you too.❤❤
I make shirts - mine are vinyl and sublimation for now - and I start at $25 and then add on if there’s a back design, a second vinyl color, etc. We need to be paid fairly for the work we do, supplies we buy, etc. I definitely try to take into consideration what I would like to pay for an item but I get that it can be hard. I need to go to your website and wish I was close to enough to shop in person! Love your set-up 😊
I have just watched your review on the red Tirtir Cushion foundation and it looked lovely on you and a good shade and not too light. Was 21C heavily pink as in cool as I am cool but not just pink
Totally off-topic but my gosh you look so Good! Hair makeup wow just wow.
Fun video!!! ❤❤🎉🎉
Loved the video❤ keep up the hard work!
Good for you. This is hard work. If you price up make sure it's not close to your last event. People notice price hikes. Good luck from a former vendor!
Thanks!! I am probably going to wait until after the new year and coincide it with a minor rebrand I’ve been working on (new logo and formalizing product lines).
I basically live in all black clothes but the Tie Dye shirts look so fun.
Was that klezmer music? Cool. I recognize the face, but that's after walking a few blocks for me. I try to wear makeup anyway. Yeah, the vlog was fun.
👍 Great video!
What foundation are you wearing in this video because your skin looks so good!!
You’re the OG Energizer Bunny 🐰 😂
Love this video! Esp the monkeys!! ❤️❤️Are you not liking the shirt display board you made? You worked so hard on it! I’m glad you had a successful weekend!
I wanted to wish you a very happy belated birthday! I also turned 50 in July and the perimenopause is nooo joke! I’m sleeping 3-4 hrs a night on a good night. I’ve had insomnia for decades but it’s getting worse… 😢
It doesn’t do well outdoors, I’ve sadly learned. Even on the street, the natural slope for rain runoff makes it too unstable. So I only use it for indoor events on flat hard ground.
I love this glimpse into your life, do you ever rest? Do you print your own dtf transfers?
I order my dtf transfers from Jiffy and press them myself on a 15x15 clamshell press. Now that I’ve got some sales traction I’m moving toward professionally printed DTG through Printify/Monster Digital. Someday I may invest in my own DTG printer but this is working well for now.

Well done on yours sales
I love this😊❤
What a gorgeous day; October is the best. Those Tie-Dye shirts are beautifully done, and 3 for 50 is a low price. If I were there I'd definitely have bought; you could raise those prices for sure and still land the sales. The tie dye shirts you're wearing in this video? Definitely 32, 35 dollars at least. A Basic LL Bean cotton tee in a solid color is 25 or 35 these days depending on sleeve length, so hand-dyed? Yeah, raise the prices! Hmmm, what does Snuggles smell like?
Snuggles smells like clean laundry 😄 it has been popular with the kids!
T’s moving from spring to summer but skincare as we start thinking about cooler days and cold nights and dry skin! Maybe add pj’s to the winter repertoire? Yes, you really do need to up your prices - all that work to break even? No, no. You have the data and some comparisons. You should be able to earn enough to invest in the business - manufacturing, operational and advertising/marketing. Good luck with it, you are obviously hardworking, ethical and an all round goodie - let me know when you start international sales!
Oh jeez, lecture over - so sorry 😅
Do you see many subscribers there? If I lived closer I would've came!
It’s wild - I have met a few at events this year!!
What ever happened to those nail stickers you were selling? Are they not a thing anymore?
Color Street! I am still a stylist 😁 The main year round event I used to do with my nail inventory is now holiday-only and in my area there are more handmade events than ones that allow pre-manufactured goods, so this year I have been doing my handmade business at events instead. But I am still an active CS rep and sell online 😁
He should not have these monkeys.
It's extremely cruel to have monkeys as pets. It should be completely illegal.
