Downer Days and Cupcakes

Hey everyone!
Today is slightly a downer day.
I'm still mostly optimistic about my future as a business owner and what not...
I'm just feelin a little sad cause I want people to love what I do and I have yet to get a very positive response to any of it.

I work very hard on my Etsy shop, I LOVE making my YouTube videos that hardly anyone watches and nobody really reads my blog. I basically talk to myself on here and on YouTube.
I would love to gain some loyal subscribers on there and some followers on here or twitter or instagram. I love sharing! Just haven't caught anyone's eye yet... :(

I need some support! I will be your best friend ever if you support any of my ventures!

Anyways...

I made cupcakes for our church Christmas decorating/ soup-bread-dessert contest we had tonight.
They were/are still amazing!! Looove them!
Can't go wrong with super soft chocolate cupcakes and cream cheese frosting, all from scratch! Mmm! <3

E.L.F. hasn't shipped my ginormous order yet! :(
I wanna make my haul videooo!
And my nails are sad. They want new fun colors.

Anyone else excited for Christmas?!?!
I really wanna get myself a white mini Christmas tree from Michael's like sarahbelle93x on YouTube!
They have a 50% off coupon this week!
I should do it... Yes!
How cute would it be to hang my products on it like decorations and take Christmas themed product photos for my Etsy shop?!?!
Oh my!!
Greatest idea ever in the world!! <3

I should probably get some sleep.
Gotta work tomorrow and possibly go Christmas shopping and go to the tree lighting ceremony/ Christmas parade downtown! Yay!
The yay is not about work! Haha

Good night! <3

New Video & Haul

I posted a new video yesterday! :D

I talk about something super exciting coming up!
My next video is going to be a HUGE haul!
I finally participated in Cyber Monday! I still have yet to go out on Black Friday...scares me a lot! Hahaha

Anyways! I'm excited to do it! Its going to be an unboxing/haul.
You have no idea how big its gonna be! I only bought stuff from one site.
Its all beauty related and from a very popular, very affordable brand! Yay!

I'm also working on some new product ideas to hopefully post in my Etsy shop before Christmas!
So check my shop for those!

Love ya! I'll post again tomorrow!

Night! <3

Power Outage!

My wifi hates me!
I just posted this, but it didn't upload or save it!
Awesome... Was kinda long...

Anyways!
Our power was out for a couple hours due to a wind storm!
We lit tons of candles and played some games.
Once the power came back on, Khloie (my dog) and I restarted our movie, Chicken Little!

Sorry for the slightly randomness of this post. Pretty much the most exciting thing that happened today.

Oh! My grandpa's twin is back to stay with him! I love having both of them around!


A little sadness.... I've been feeling pretty down about my products...
I'm new to sewing and making jewelry, so I feel like my stuff isn't quality enough for people to want to buy... Kind of depressing...

But I've been trying to dig deep inside and figure out what my calling is. I love so many art related subjects that its difficult for me to pick just one. But I did come up with a couple.
I know that painting relaxes me.
And I'm actually pretty good at it.
So I'm exploring ideas of paintings that I could possibly sell.
So there's that.
I love music.
Singing it.
Playing it on instruments.
I've been saving for a guitar and learning how to play them.
So there's a second.
I'm not called the crossover artist for nothing! Haha

My ultimate goal has always been to be a musician.
I've been feeling, lately, like that requires being able to play a guitar. Not sure why.
I know I'm a pretty decent singer. Learned that in choirs in high school.
I would love to be able to write my own songs. I've been working on lyrics very slowly.

But in the mean time, I believe I'm good enough at painting to make some money to hopefully support myself and buy equipment.
That is also why I started a YouTube channel.
Funds.
The economy is rough.
Every little bit helps.

Well, anyways... Love ya guys!
Good night! <3

Happy Friday Evening!

So...maybe not so happy...haha

I'm not feeling too hot. :(

Or motivated/ positive.

Been getting a good amount of views on my What's In My Bag Tag video. Happy about that.

Not doin quite so well on my etsy views... Not sure what's going on there.

I realize hardly anyone ever reads my posts....but if you do read this and have any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

I think, after my daily dose of YouTube videos, it's time for some sleep.

Good night! Love ya! <3

New YouTube channel and Etsy store!

Hey everyone!

Sorry it's been so long, again!! I've been pretty busy stressing over my business and the upcoming holiday season.

But anyways!!
I opened up a YouTube account for my new channel! I am VERY excited about that! Only problem is that my iPad wont let me upload videos! So, I made my intro video and can't do anything with it! :(

Update!!
My video did post! So, I'm editing it today! Feel free to check it out!
I filmed it a few days ago with my iPad and it was just a practice run, but I ended up liking it enough to post it. I wasn't really dressed for a video and I had never done one before, but I thought it was a little funny. I was afraid to re-film it for fear of it being less entertaining! Anyone else ever feel like that?! Haha

I am going to make another blog post today about all my new products in my Etsy store!

A Not-So-Great Week and Updates

Hey everybody.

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while... I've been going through some personal stuff and trying to make some purchasing decisions for my business.

Because of some recent disastrous events.....I am even more greatly considering starting a YouTube vlog to help me vent and relive some stress. Some of my original ideas for my vlogs have changed, but I need an outlet more than ever.

Anyways... I started making a new purse and have some exciting ideas for my next creations.
