Losing Steam & Losing Weight - Week 2 Packing 1500 Orders

[@asheashe5807]

1,500 orders is crazy, congratulations Baylee

[@BayleeJae]

It's truly mind-blowing. 🤯 Thanks!

[@rachelthomas894]

I got my package! It got here here early. It was my first time ordering and WOW I knew the quality was good from all previous comments and years of watching you but I underestimated the amazing quality of everything. overall I will be ordering again some time to get my fingees on a pocket tee.

[@BayleeJae]

Glad to hear! Thanks for ordering! ^_^

[@jvcobeilish3292]

Baylee, or ZKittyZ as I knew you, I am watching just 30 seconds in and I feel like I need to thank you. Thank you for making me an artist. As a young man, I’d wait for each Copic video to drop and watch it within the hour (think Elsa, Tiger from the Croods). You inspired me to buy my first copic, buy a drawing anatomy book, and my first L shaped desk. I still want a Cintique, and still have my exact copy of your Belle art. Long story short, I now have a degree in graphic design, have studied fine art, and still remember you and the joy you brought. I wish I could thank you. ZKittyZ forever

[@MLyonArt]

For going through your order sheets, put a piece of sponge in a small container with a lid and add some water. Then just rub your finger on the sponge when you need some grip. Old cashier's trick.

[@BayleeJae]

I definitely need to try that!

[@solod2087]

​@BayleeJae in the office supply section you can find cashiers wax called Sortkwik. It's a little round jar with pink wax in it. I used to use that since water ended up chaffing my fingertips.

[@LisaMarieFord]

@Baylee Jae In addition to the sponge, You can also do a trick one of my teachers taught us years ago. I’m not certain how to describe it rather than show it. You take your stack of papers, then holding one end per hand you roll the stack like a wave in one direction until they slowly stagger a bit farther apart. This makes it easier to get one sheet at a time. If a visual would help I could put it in an Instagram story and tag you.

[@bluealef]

​@@BayleeJaerun them through the printer just print the line you are drawing 😅

[@chevykkj]

Hi Baylee! I work for a graphics company; that sticker with the dark grey backing is a more heavy duty vinyl than what you would typically see in stationary stickers. It is used for decals on vehicles, wrapping vehicles and commercial signage. Hope that helps. Congrats on your successful shop update! ♡

[@lucienamerlin]

As someone who works in a sign shop with lots of vinyl, I was going to comment this!! This is exactly what I was going to say haha!

[@carlottamartini7092]

My order arrived today in Rome, Italy! I am so excited as I've been following for so long but never ordered because of shipping times and customs. It ended up taking less than 7 business days and 13euros in customs. Yay!! Congrats on the successful shop update 🎉

[@patriciahamel5674]

Kiki was trying to put on the sweater, lol. You should get the cats little bandannas and embroider the Halloween Cat design on them so that they can dress up for the season.

[@PruBen66]

My order just shipped today, but I am so excited to get it. We ordered it as a birthday present because I’ve been so sick this past year and a half. Happy to see you succeed Baylee! You’re the only artist I often buy from now

[@BayleeJae]

Thank you! I hope you have a great birthday, and I hope your health turns around. ❤️

[@ZorahHeart]

For your skin routine the Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid are best paired together so I’d use them day time together BUT you’d have to wear sunscreen if out in the sun or you’ll just undo the brightening from the Hyaluronic acid. Hope that helps❤

[@Lexouchan]

I am so happy for you ! Congrats ! You came such a long way from pinning handmade buttons onto craft foam to make kits !

[@trehs98]

After you two rest up, you should do a Q&A. Just so we can be nosy and see how working for Baylee is and does he miss his outside job. ❤❤❤❤❤great shop update Baylee. 🎉🎉🎉

[@IngridCHI]

The level of Kiki and Midna's cuteness is really high ❤😻 I wonder how your shelves stock look like now ? 🤭

[@SeekAlister]

I got my order a couple of days ago (insane shipping speed from Canada to NZ) and I ADORE the sketchbooks! I'm sad I don't have the full collection (missing the mushroom and daisy) but they have reignited my almost exclusive digital artist arse into dusting off my decade old supplies and enjoying doing traditional art again, they are such great quality and a pleasure to draw on. Thank you Baylee! I would love to do a sketchbook tour of them when they're full. Your hard work and care is admirable and aspirational.

[@kittythefluffington7164]

I'm missing the daisy and mushroom sketchbooks too!! I'm hoping the Luna moth sketchbook is still available for Christmas time or this time next year (since I usually do my order around my birthday), so I can have all of the available sketchbooks. I love them! I'm using the witch hat one now!

[@toniam.2570]

Kiki and Midna are so famous haha we want all their merch

[@WayneQuashie-qe7xd]

That's a TON of orders to be done!!!! This can keep any person busy by day and extremely tired by night. High praise for you, Baylee!!!! You and Christian are GREAT!!!!!!😁🙏

❤Love the tricolor crink!!! My oder arrives in about a week...I'm so excited. And I'm looking forward to what you design next!

[@collinsmith202]

Hey Bailey. Been subbed for the past 10 years! Love your videos so so so much and seeing how much the shop as grown over the years is so great! Pls never stop doing what you do! Love you girl

[@sBonillos]

Just opened my order!! I'm so happy I could support you this shop update and was lucky enough to get everything I wanted. It's funny to me that your packing materials in a way became a blind box opening XD I was at the edge of my seat wondering if I'd get cognac or "orange" and if I'd get the cottage or strawberry thank you card. I love everything I received!!! ❤

[@BayleeJae]

Crink roulette. 😆 Thank you!

[@sBonillos]

omg and the thank you card is perfect for an extra frame I bought years ago when I got prints from you! It was meant to be

[@brittani.a.h]

The gray backing is for waterproof/outdoor stickers. Hope this helps!

[@BayleeJae]

Ooooo, thank you!

[@sarahvasiliki]

😭 I think that might have been my order blessed by the Kiki snuggles! I might perish from cuteness overload! Package is on its way to Aus and I'm so excited!! It's always sweater weather for me even in my humid part of the world, can't wait to wear the lunar month jumper all year round. Maybe the Kiki blessing means the cat distribution system will finally dole out for me 😅

[@WayneQuashie-qe7xd]

Kiki and Midna are just SO CUTE!!!!!!😍

[@lottieloowoo]

We love the order packing! Don’t ever worry that you’re doing too much. I don’t think there’s a person here who would complain! ❤❤❤❤❤pack pack pack! Xxxxxx

[@messsssylive]

Having watched your vlogs since you almost started KZbin, it’s absolutely insane just how far you have come. Your entire journey so far, from art to the unboxing channel to this, and just the growth that you have had as a person outside of all of this, you 1000% deserve everything that you have. Every order, every customer, everything you have worked so hard towards. It’s been so amazing to see you on this journey the last ~10 years and I can’t wait for however many more with many more achievements.

[@angiegrxve]

Baylee! I ordered from your shop this time around, first order ever and I can't be more happy at the quality of the the things I got! I definitely will order again!! I've been a follower for a while and I am so happy I was able to order this time. Keep up the amazing work and I can't wait for the next one! ❤

[@PhantomNightRyder]

I’m really liking the length of your bangs/ front of your hair. The way it was wavy in the final 10 ish min of the video was really cute!

[@mattiekitty]

Got my order yesterday - love it all 😻

[@VictorianStudio]

Awww.... my order arrived while I was watching this!!! Triple colour crink and beautiful packaging - I carefully pulled away the packing tape with my exacto knife because I couldn't bear to cut through Kiki and Midna! ;) Thank you so much Baylee - I love my pin; it is going to display right beside my original Kiki and Midna pin I got years ago! 😍

[@shareepeplinski8028]

Congratulations on such a successful shop update ❤

[@KaiInMotion]

What we REALLY need in the shop are custom Baylee Jae samurai swords. I need a cute aesthetic grip on my blade when I go on my Kill Bill style revenge quests. But really I'm LOVING my sketchbooks and impressed by how well they take markers and watercolours. TY so much! I plan on ordering again soon once the shop reopens.

[@AlucardRawks]

My order came early, all the way to Scotland :D Feels surreal that I'm sitting here watching you wearing my Kiki and Midna jumper!

[@elisecharlenefineart]

You should get one of those automatic vacuums and program it to go around while you sleep!

[@EzmeCM98]

Honestly I totally wouldn't mind buy the Halloween merch later in the season. I celebrate halloween basically til December and wear my halloween themed stuff outside of the season too. I'm sure plenty of people wouldn't mind buying the seasonal stuff a little later since you can hold on to it til next year or wear the stuff whenever. I understand you'll do what you have to do though and I'm use to missing out on products anyway lol

[@gabbikimber7308]

The Ordinary you got I recognised instantly, we sell it where I work and it’s so cheap to buy. I appreciate the simplicity of the packaging 😅

[@w16breezy04]

I'm super late and catching up on videos (and I don't know if someone suggested it) but in the future to mark out the side of paper to reuse the back, you could create a file of just a line and run them through the printer. Saves the wrist and some time 😊

[@carolumyi4768]

All I can say is, after all the orders are packed and shipped out plan to take a long deserved vacation. You will need it. Take care and relax.

[@kitsuneonnanoko]

Got my order yesterday. I love everything in the box, and my kitties love the box! XD

[@clolourofbue]

You are such an inspiration. I have just recently started to post art videos to my channel, I am too old to vlog lol. If I didn't have caring commitments (Dad has dementia) I would start up a business. Very well done Baylee. I love your channel.

[@fraupeh6032]

Hey Baylee, I got my order yesterday🎉 Thank you so much for all the hard work and love you put in your art, products and packaging❤ And Elvis my cat appreciated the Kiki-shin-scrub on the parcel😂 By the way... I hat to pay additional 15€ for delivering and customs.

[@kianadoescod6402]

Yay so early 😊 I can drink my coffee and enjoy a new video!❤

[@JustinaBurt]

I got my order! I love all of your stuff so much! Thank you!!

Congratulations on such a successful shop drop❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 I still say you announce the drops via mailing list

[@bloowabbit6414]

Hyaluronic acid is amazing stuff! Have been using it over last month or more and my ageing skin is a-glowing. Good vlog, tfs

[@senamarienne]

Baylee will you do a restock of the sunset clouds sticky notes? Or possibly a desk mat with that pattern?

[@BayleeJae]

I am considering a restock. I like the desk mat idea too.

[@ChantelleArts]

This is so crazy but you deserve all the successes ☺☺

[@BayleeJae]

Thank you!

[@ru95]

For speeding up your packing have you considered weighing the box before taping, then while you wait for the label to print you tape it up? As seems like quite a delay for it to print. Also that scale would do my head in. You always seem to have issues with it 😂

[@lesleycollins2535]

Your cat is so gorgeous it's awesome to see her/ him anyway love your KZbin channel anyway please keep safe and well love

[@hikori3941]

Omg, you packed my order in a vlog! ☺💜 Congrats on the successful shop update! I will be keeping my eyes open for more zip-ups 👀

[@spazyazysart]

I love your vlogs so much!

[@CozyCatArt]

In love with my zip up I need more of those! Cute designs as always! Also congrats on a successful shop launch! But I’m not surprised in the slightest!

[@BayleeJae]

I'm glad you like it! ^_^

[@GramsParadise]

So happy for you!! Congratulations!🎉🥳💕 Will you be restocking kiki and midna sketchbooks? I missed them unfortunately 🥺

[@BayleeJae]

Thanks! The sketchbooks are not sold out. There's lots in stock.

[@GramsParadise]

​@BayleeJae oh perfect! I'll definitely be ordering one 🫶💕

[@angel_avengeline13]

The copper peptides one is my fave, mainly because it's blue 😂 my favorite color

[@gabbywilliamson76]

You should try Twinings Lady Grey tea. It’s my favorite! Has just a hint of citrus.

[@Lilee177]

I don't like commenting on peoples weight, especially if they haven't brought it up themselves - but dang Baylee you are looking SO GOOD. I feel like since you moved to the new house you just seem so much healthier and brighter. Congrats on the super successful shop update too!

[@BayleeJae]

Thanks! Last year I was tired a lot, but I've been doing better this year. I've been trying to make changes since the mild sleep apnea diagnosis. Sleeping with a wedge pillow helped a lot, and now I'm trying to lose weight to help further and hopefully not have to use the wedge anymore.

[@sawa1067]

​@@BayleeJae its the carbs. your body wants nutrition. sugar is not nutrition, carbs are turned into sugar. seed oil is ww2 machine lubricant. read about plant toxins: oxolates, lectins, arsenic. some food may taste good but its making us culturally sick. we are eating high carb nutrient void food that is labeled as "healthy." yeah healthy for marketing and big pharma checkbook. but not for us.

I'm glad you like everything! Thanks for ordering!

[@mandymckk]

Do you think you’ll ever get back into selling at in-person events? I go to a lot of craft fairs and I think your stuff would do really well at one of those! Probably a lot of work but probably also a lot of fun!

[@BayleeJae]

At this moment, I don't think I will. But who knows what the future will hold!

[@crochetbyjacobb]

Skiiiiiny queeeeen! So skinny didn’t even see you in the video 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'll add a red circle next time. Maybe an arrow. 😆

I just had a thought?? How does Christian like the New Job?? Working with you and so forth?? Does he enjoy the embroidery?? Stuff you have added to your shop?? Love your videos.. TFS Sweetie Hug's 💙🫂🌻🦋🥰

[@BayleeJae]

Yeah, he enjoys it! When embroidering, he can often chill & play video games while the machines run, which he likes.

[@Mari-nv2ke]

Heehee the crink combo looks like Midna’s coat!!

[@LisaMarieFord]

How about a poll on your community tab and maybe your Instagram for which apparel is the favorite for the September restock so you give those priority in order of popularity? And note for folks to please only fill it out if planning on ordering. That way no obligation or hassle like a pre-order, but you still garner an idea of interest.

[@jenm8911]

Love the spongebob audio 😂😂 accurate

[@mythologyrockz]

Yay your shop did amazing! Unfortunately I didn't get to order anything this time but hope to when you reopen!

[@BohemianChicArt]

I work for a sign and graphics company. The gray back matte vinyl is a standard print media. With the matte lam you can use your stickers outdoors..

[@timainwhitewolf]

I wanted to order a t-shirt but didn't manage to get one. I still ordered a lot of other items and can't wait for my order to get here (kinda dreading the import fees to Austria but oh well) I definitely want to do a second order though once the t-shirts are restocked! Love that design so much!! And maybe I'll manage to grab a notebook at that time 😅

[@curicuri218]

suggestion on marking the papers! to save time, why not feed the used papers through the printer and have the printer print a big X on it?

[@Lisasplace]

the little mine beeb beeb moment is so sweet for some reason

[@jameslionbreath]

I feel you could check if you can make it so when your doorbell camera makes movement your Google home notifies you (something you could enable and disable when expecting stuff)

[@BayleeJae]

My phone notifies me, but it was muted at the time, so I didn't notice.

[@barusshka92]

Bayleee, would not it be easier to just put the papers into printer and print the stripe over it? I think it would save you so much time!

[@BayleeJae]

I just saw another comment recommending that, and it's so clever! I'll definitely give it a go.

[@user-fc2xk3uv8y]

use the HA after washing before applying any product on damp skin. it will help all those other products wiggle down and make them work better, but always use it on skin that is damp to wet. never dry!

[@BayleeJae]

Good to know!

[@user-fc2xk3uv8y]

​@@BayleeJae i like to put rose water before i use it too, because that will help everything wiggle down even more. you dont want to use hyaluronic acid on dry skin because its a humectant and will trap moisture in. if you put it dry, it has no moisture to cling to and make your skin drier, especially if you live in a dry climate

[@amberkay3983]

The SpongeBob segment really got me rolling with laughter 🤣

[@Darkkwing27]

S&S bought AlphaBroder earlier this year. The word on the street is they are going to stay separate entities until at least next year but might commingle their inventories so hoping that helps you somehow in Canada. I work for a print company in the US so I always feel so bad for your inventory woes!

[@NatashaM-xi3qk]

doing the halloween sweaters first might be ideal because then people can get them before halloween. Then the shirts, then the zips.

[@Sinn_Sev]

I got a notification that my order has shipped right as i clicked on this video😆

Hehehe

I wish so so badly I could have gotten something this time around but unfortunately I’m in the middle of a financial crisis 😭😭 I’m hoping I can scrape up some stuff for the restock, there’s been stuff I’ve wanted for years as well as many of the new collection items Congratulations on the huge launch Baylee!!! I know it’s been exhausting for you and Christian but watching your success is super inspiring and having watched you for the past 8 years now (your vlogs have been apart of my daily or weekly routine for 8 years now, isn’t that CRAZY?????) it’s incredible seeing how much you’ve grown and the variety of product types you have. Plus the quality of your items has gotten to the professional level, I love how you cater all of the packing materials to match the update theme!!! To many more successful launches 🍾 🎉🥂

[@BayleeJae]

Thank you so much, Tammy!

Would you be able to print a big line in the middle on the pages you've used over the old orders? Then reverse them to print the new orders on them?

Hello Baylee Have you tried ordering blanks outside of Canada?maybe it can help you❤❤❤

[@NurturedbyNatureStudio]

Hey Baylee, can you apply for an account with Independent directly? Their prices are actually better than on S&S and AlphaBroder (at least for my account.). Can’t wait ‘till your shop re-opens and I LOVE how you manage your business to suit the life you want. I’m of the same mindset, the last thing I want to do is create another corporate experience for myself.

[@LisaMarieFord]

I had a photo lab like your apparel supplier. They have a section for fulfillment but only offer it for schools and sports. I don’t think they realize those two things are a limited time only once or twice per year; whereas your business will bring them a steadier supply of business year round. Plus you’re still buying wholesale so it makes no sense.

[@LunarNightLights]

with the ordinary, some items counteract the other. in the morning ill do vitamin c, and hylo acid, and at night its lactic acid and retinol. vitmin c would nigate the retinol, etc. so just google what ya have and figure out :)

[@labyrinthofallthings]

Midna: Lol Girl I could hear you over the microphone. LOL

[@Lisasplace]

I feel for weight lost it would help to have more set times to eat. for years (iv been watching old vlogs haha) you have your first meal at noon or later.

[@BayleeJae]

I do have pretty set times normally. I eat at 1 or 2, then at 6 and 9. My late snacking is probably why I don't get hungry in the morning.

[@YellowMelle]

I kinda miss the laser printer... It broke and I replaced it with a megatank, which insists on having an ultra long, ultra LOUD cleaning cycle, and it always decides to run it on page two of a three-page document. it's like holy shiiiii, I just want to leave the house please! lol You'd hate it for sure.

Now that you have lived in this house for a while with your setup, do you wish you had set up your studio differently?

[@BayleeJae]

Hmm...maybe a couple small tweaks. The computer being right by the window makes it harder to see the screen at times, but I love having the view, so I don't think I would change it. The console table at the base of the gallery wall MIGHT have to go. I would love to have a permanent spot for the heat press, so I could put a table there. Other than that, it's been a pretty great layout!
