2026: 5 flops and counting
Imagine me- renting a beautiful house for THE shots of the product I’ve been RDing for 2 years only to realize that the product name is trademarked and I cannot actually release the products because the boxes have that trademarked name on it. Devastating and a stupid, expensive mistake.
I’m so grateful for my business- it’s beyond one of my greatest sources of joy AND this year has taken everything out of me. And I let it- and my relationships have suffered. I know I need to make a change with how I scale but it’s hard to imagine how I do that with bills, labor costs and rent for the studio
I freaking love YULIYA | Seattle Tattoo Artist and how talented she is. She ran a giveaway and I won- and because I hated how I felt in my body this day I didn’t post her amazing work. I hate when lack of confidence prevents me from enjoying little pleasures like this.
The literal tears I cried- in the scheme of things it’s just a box right? Wrong! I opened these mid June during my third busiest month I’ve ever had after, having had almost zero days off from launching the pop up. This couldn’t have come at a worst time for my headspace.
My worst launch ever. I think I sold 2 of Good Pearl and 0 Good Summer. Part of me wasn’t excited to launch these and I shouldn’t have- I wasn’t passionate about them and I learned a hard lesson. Don’t do something unless you do it with your chest. Not the most expensive flop this year but still it feels like I cheated my business. That being said- anyone want a free Good Summer candle 🥰
