Morning lovelies! Apologies for being so quiet. Things have been rather HECTIC on my side. To be honest, I’ve been feeling rather stressed, and my body has been sending me all the alarm bells i.e. hectic breakout on my forehead. Starting a business is not for the fainthearted I tell you, actually the start of ANYTHING is quite something. The amount of money we’ve invested has me laughing everyday, not to mention the time and energy. BUT all is well folks.
I’ve been running around visiting corporate companies, and today will be no different. We unfortunately can’t just rely on the market for feet, sales and exposure. That wouldn’t make any good business sense. I feel like my sister and I haven’t had a break yet, we spend all day on our laptops ( e-mails/ orders /marketing) and I won’t even mention the phone. Dealing with two different suppliers has been interesting, not always a smooth process. Everything is slowly coming together with regards to the market and business in general. Today our speedpoint machine from YOCO arrives, I’m so excited because, having cash on hand and waiting on an EFT wasn’t floating my boat. We’ve really gone out of our way to bring quality service to our clients and customers, and to create a quality experience for the market and business in general.
Guys,before I forget to mention it, the new stock from ASGHARALI ( Bahrain brand) will blow your mind! The fragrance ( oh my word, oh my word) and I could go on and on about the packaging, EXQUISITE would be an understatment. It’s really top-notch quality.
I literally squeezed in this blog post, because I realized I’ve been too quiet. I also wanted to explain to you, why all the silence all of a sudden. I didn’t want you thinking I’m quitting on the blog,ha ha. I’m just a little swamped at the moment, but I believe next week will be better.
Since Spring is around the corner, I thought I’d have Kwands in shorts and a tee. I got all these items on SALE ( I’m the queen of sales) at Cotton Kids, which by the way is also one of my favourite for quite a number of reasons. One of them being pram friendly! That is such a win for me, for the life of me I will never understand kiddies brands that have a store lay out that isn’t kid and pram friendly. I want to name and shame, but that would be going a little too far, ha ha! I’m really not big on cartoon character clothing, i.e. Spiderman and the likes. I personally find them quite cheesy, and really hope my child won’t be a fan too. And I’m sure every parent is laughing after reading that. ha ha! But, I honestly couldn’t resist this Batman tee, one becuase it’s not really in your face and screaming I’m an avid Batman follower, ha ha.
Have a lovely weekend. If you’re in JHB/ PTA or any of the surrounding areas please come through to the Brownsense Market this Sunday from 11am- 5pm. The Market will have tons of stalls ( arts & crafts), good food, beverages, kiddies entertainment and live bands. We are super excited! Really hope to see you there.
For those of you that are interested the address is as follows:
100 Belvedere Road, Plot 328, Glen Austin, Midrand.
Have a lovely weekend!
