You’re so inspiring! It’s impressive how you manage your full time job with your small business and wedding planning ~ especially with sewing your own dress. Just wow 🤩

[@user-vk1ro2mw8g]

Honestly, I love the long vlogs. I listen to you while I work on my small business and it feels like I'm "working" with someone who gets it

[@andreajohnson1530]

I totally agree. I do the samething!

[@Proudy-creates]

That's true am doing that right now ....since morning am busy with my small business while watching 👀 her videos ❤

[@caseysullivan1047]

yay! congrats on the madewell pop-up. I'm doing my second madewell pop-up next week. their shoppers will love your stuff!

[@vickithompson1840]

Where on earth do you find the time and energy to do the things you do. You amaze me. Loving your content, so varied and inspiring. Looking forward to your next vlog 🤗🤗🤗

[@cassgames_exe]

Lmao I thought you took a big ol swig of fragrance oil at 19:43 💀

[@ChantelleArts]

it's amazing that you're going to be in such a big store! well done hun, it's been fantastic seeing your small business grow 🥰

[@beingemma]

YESSS So excited for the Madewell pop up congrats on getting accepted. I have heard from another small business about it as well. Also you are a big inspiration for my "just do it" attitude to document my journey on KZbin. I have a full house but am determined to find time and moments to film. Always happy when a video of yours pops up to watch while I work on my small business. 💖

[@angelesperanza5226]

I love all of your videos!!! ❤️❤️ I have my own handmade jewelry business and I’ve only done one pop up but it wasn’t super successful but that’s okay. I kinda did a revamp to my shop so hopefully it helps! Anyways my question is how do you make pricing signs for your products while doing a pop up shop? What products do you use for signs and price tags?

[@SuzanHector-l7z]

Do you courier to anywhere in the world and what are the challenges with this? 😊

[@KayGee_yt]

You inspired me to (re)launch my own art business. I've already signed up for 3 markets so I need to finish my website before then. It'll be cool if I can make a couple bucks like you do. Love you candles!

[@maryapple9257]

Wow that madewell thing is such a big deal! So proud of you! Blogger friends are the best! I love your content!

[@hannahhutchinson4282]

loveee the longer vlogs! also! idea: you should create and sell your own diy candle kits i would definitely buy one

[@sweettazcandyy]

5:05 omg those candles are so cute I would definitely buy some!!!

[@SergeantSudsLaundryPowder]

What a Great idea to use China cups for your candles❣️❤
