New Beginnings Pt. 2

Aloha friends!.. Or should I say howdy? 🤠 It’s been 6 months now since I moved to Texas and thought now is a good time to do a little follow-up blog! The married life has been peaceful and relaxing, I truly am lucky and thankful to have an amazing man in my life. The two years we’ve spent apart with tons of hours traveling in-between has always been worth it. ❤️

This Texas summer is no joke though. When outside, it feels like a blanket of warm air is hugging you and you’re drenched in sweat after 10 minutes. I definitely miss the cool Hawaii breezes throughout the day and the gorgeous sunsets every evening. 🌄 I would instantly drop whatever I was doing to run out the front door and look at the marvelous sky outside.

Although I think back at home often, it’s nice to say that we’re all settled down! Cody and I put together my new desk which is height adjustable and I got my first desktop computer, too! It’s crazy to think I ran my whole business from an old college laptop for years. Gone are the days of it randomly crashing on me while I simultaneously worked on 5 different projects.

When I lived in Hawaii, my small bedroom also functioned as my workspace. Many people don’t know this, but I had TWO desks in my bedroom. Craft supplies, market necessities, and packaging goods would take over every inch of my room. Now, my sleep and work space are separated which has been better for my mental sanity. 😅

Towards the end of my January blog, I spoke about future ideas in mind. I’m excited to share that they’ve come to life and we’ve made local pickups possible for Oahu residents! Since we have local supporters back home on Oahu, I really wanted to have an option available to them if they’d like to save a little bit on shipping costs.

On Oahu, we still have our lockers at Ben Franklin Crafts Pearl City (locker #38) and Mapunapuna (locker #58) if you’d like to shop charmies in person! Occasionally, I mail new charms to my mom who restocks both of the lockers for me (thank you mom!). 🥳

Now the question was, how should I start this project off? The easiest answer was to pick my favorite animal which is the unicorn! 🦄

Incorporating all the rainbow colors and glitter made this month’s charm fun to design. She has glitter freckles to compliment her eyelashes and blush. A white, iridescent glitter has been added inside her ears and on her rainbow mane for more dimension and sparkle. The mini rainbow poop I’ve included as the complimentary charm has gold glitter on it, which matches the unicorn’s horn and freckles. I hope she brings a smile to your face! 💞
