Ahhh thank you so much for posting this hoo! This is really helpful for someone considering making a small business. I'm actually a Junior too, so the pressure of making money is slowly inching up my back haha. My mom is always encouraging me to do this kind of small business since I'm good at drawing and being creative, and build an audience to help myself along the way, but I've always just been so timid becauze I'm so worried that no one will end up even buying anything and I'd end up disappointing my parents. But then again, it could just be my overthinking haha. This video is just so encouraging! I hope you know that you're appreciated for these sweet little videos you do! This has been encouraging.

[@aizakitty93]

I know I’m not hoo, but go for it! Don’t worry about others peoples feelings- I’m supporting you nonetheless:)

[@deadsetondreams1988]

I'm older and my biggest regret is not going for my passions sooner in life I sincerely promise you that! I wanted to attend college for art, filmmaking, photography, and writing. But I let my parents unfortunately talk me out of it. To make me go to college for a career based on the income over what I was passionate about. Due to my mental health, I eventually dropped out of college and it feels like it was all such a waste of time and more so a HUGE waste of money. If I could go back in time I would go for what I wanted to do, you are fortunate to have a supportive family. My family is more supportive now but I feel like I'm horribly behind based on all those wasted years. Now I'm trying to start my own small business based on passions I once had and it feels so liberating. But the earlier you start the better then you won't be bogged down by what-ifs and wondering where would my life be now had I not started when I was encouraged to.. Also, if you are on the shy side or don't want your face to be seen I've seen plenty of successful small business creators who just show their hands doing work or they show the back of their head, etc. That's what I'm going to do when I make social media content. My hand model audition lol I overthink all the time as well, but you've got to "shake it off" as Taylor Swift once sang lol Since I've stumbled upon small business accounts I've found a nice supportive group of people. We'll support you and purchase from you when we have money ourselves/ recommend you and leave reviews! This community has been super sweet so far =^_^=

[@xyzz6484]

You're a junior in high school?!?!? Iam so happy for you and so proud of you for being able to handle all this! Wishing you the best of luck for your future!❤❤

[@annpwnz]

Omg! I didn't know you were so young! You feel so mature for your age. I hope applying to colleges goes well for you!

[@shelleyfry]

You are amazing - talented and funny, intelligent and just lovely. You are quietly inspiring, having created your store, using your wonderful designs, and you live your ‘fake online life’ on your terms. I wish you the best of life - both irl and online. 💜

I’m glad you did opening a small business online. Starting with Etsy and graduating to Squarespace making your own website must’ve been a little scary! I’m happy for your success and wish you plenty more 🎉

I just want to say for a teenager you are very creative and I am a fan of your work, most likely your stickers.

[@bellasbrew8398]

You are a junior! So am I. This is crazy that you manage this page/shop while still in school. Keep it up girlie bc I never could. Love your aesthetic! ❤

[@fanniedraws]

I love watching your videos! They are always so calming. And good luck with college apps too. The process seems so intimidating but if you keep up with it and not leave things last minute it will become bearable. I just went through that process recently and will be attending college in the fall!

Hoo you are very talented also. Was wondering if there was a way to find your shop cause I want to look at your AMAZING stuff

[@Harunasangels]

Hello hoo! Your stickers your selling are so cute! One time I tried ordering but the only way is putting credit card numbers, and I think a better idea is adding other ways to pay such as, PayPal, after pay, Apple Pay, stuff like that would be better

[@amywilkins]

You are a precious darling omg❤

She gives me a reason to want a credit card- I'm probebly gonna buy everything from her shop lol

How much can you put in those bubble envelopes? I'd rather use them then boxes but I'm worried my items won't fit. I'm planning to sell candles. As I think the envelopes are more protected.
