Hi, Keeley! So I was watching the footage of you bringing things in from outside and noticed your bare wall alongside the wheelchair access. Posters of your products would look amazing in that space! So many big name stores do it and it really brings attention to the whichever items you want to showcase. Just a thought. Love the new space!

Do you have to keep in mind the previous fragrance oil IFRA or essential oil when you add the new scent?

Always enjoy your blogs, and your other videos. Once you get the steam oven up and running, you will love it. I have a Miele steam, convection oven. My wood stove got a bit hot baking foods during the hot summer days. So I splashed out and bought a new Miele. Just remember after every steam use, empty both water tanks, or it will give you trouble if left in for too long! Experienced that already. Keep up your good work.

Oh Keeley, what a vlog!!! So much is happening and all at the end of the year prep time. I feel your pain when it comes to waiting for service techs, but honestly, I would be livid too. Seven appointments with him only turning up for 4 of them....unacceptable. Time to make a complaint to Miele me thinks. Peppa is such a joy and such a wonderful happy little girl, I am so glad that she has settled in so quickly and it is plain to see that you adore her. I have to agree with you on the days that everything seems to be going wrong (mostly little things that by the end of the day all add up), you just have to take a breather and go to your safe zone. As it is now October, hoping this month will bring you smooth sailing. Keep up the great work and look forward to the next vlog. xx 💖💖😊😊

Hi Keeley, have you thought of putting a 'New in town' post in the Caloundra Community Facebook group? I know where I live in Tassie we have a Community Facebook group and new businesses always put up a post there when they move in to our area and I know that that's how I've found some new businesses in the area rather than actually seeing their shops first.
@SoyandSheaКүн бұрын
Hubby has been posting in the Facebook groups for me. I don't join community facebook groups. I joined one when we moved to Mount Cotton and had to come out as I began feeling really unsafe and started to regret where we had moved to. There were a lot of burglaries in neighbouring estates and it was all over the pages. We never had a problem where we were and also never did stupid things like leave cars unlocked but I still felt unsafe seeing all the group posts. My MIL also does a lot of promoting in all her social groups.

How awesome that life is so much more enjoyable for you both now! You do what works for you, but my 2 cents worth - I love the left side on/angled down view best. The top view made me feel like I was gonna fall over lol. Are you going to put up your 'Today's creations' whiteboard in this shop?

I will be going with that second camera angle as this seems to be the favourite. I used to shoot overhead a few years ago but really struggled with it this time. I'm not sure about putting up the board this time. If I can find one that hands on the wall rather than sticks, I might put it up. When I took it down in the last shop, it tore the paint off the wall 😢

Another great vlog. I'm so pleased for you and your husband that the move has made such a positive difference to your lives. Miss Peppa is adorable. Evening zoomies are always hilarious (unless it's just after when they've eaten as I then fret about bloat). I'm not surprised you're cheesed off the oven situation, 7 appointments - which all are scheduled on your day off - is such a lot. I think most of us have been there with the low-tolerance day. Hopefully the productive activity of your photography helped you shift the mood and frustration. As for camera angles. I don't mind, it's more about what is sustainable and comfortable for you. (I still miss the Soy & Shea logo that used to be on your workbench in the shed. That was a few years ago now though. 😅).
@SoyandSheaКүн бұрын
Peppa does zoomies at all hours 😂 She often has one first thing in the morning as well. The first one she ever did was when we first brought her home and after half an hour, this massive grin came on her face and she took off round the yard. We think it was the first time she really had space to run. By that afternoon, I had managed to get myself back in the right head-space. It's amazing what some good music can do. I will be using the second camera angle as that is what most are voting for. I no longer have that board I used to work on. I used it because people were stealing videos but I believe YT have worked hard to stop that from happening.

There was a lot Ioved about this vlog. The length of it was great and it had a lot of great content. I loved the camera angle on the left up above. Peppa was a star, she is sooooo gorgeous. My dog watched the vlog with great excitement when Peppa was chasing the ball in the garden and running all over the sofa (I hope my boy doesn’t do that as he is alot bigger than Peppa and my couch is smaller 😂😂😂. Your garden is a paradise and I love it. Poor bromeliads, hopefully if you do plant Peppa doesn’t pull them out. The shop looks fantastic, I just thought I would put my two cents worth in (just something to think about), the wall as you walk in is quite barren, maybe it needs something, like some square mirrors with fake ferns through them for some colour, just a thought. Anyhoo, loved this video, Thankyou for sharing ❤❤❤. Glad the shop is doing well
@SoyandSheaКүн бұрын
Thank you for watching 🧡 I will definitely be using that second camera angle for future videos as most are liking that one. So many people have been sending me photos and pictures of their dog/s watching Peppa play. I am hoping she will grow out of bouncing around on the sofa as she gets bigger but I doubt it. She will probably just fall off more as she gets bigger 😆 We love our garden and it is what really attracted us to the house. We love the forest area and it makes the yard so peaceful. I am working on an idea for that side wall as I feel it is a bit blank. I have thought about a nice quote but am avoiding mirrors so people don't stand preening and blocking the door 😂

Hi Keeley, I think the second camera angle is better, it's so difficult when space is tight but hopefully when you get your new camera and are able to try it under the micas, it will give you another option.
