1:49 you might want to redo this and not put the chopsticks like that. It’s culturally offensive.❤😊

what if you do a live exclusive video tier? that way you dont have to think about the editing that goes into a YT video and ppl get their exclusive vids

Props to you for launching with more than just stickers. It creates so many mini challenges for packing your products. Also made it to the end and was def painting my nails green while watching.

I give you so much cred diving into launching your own shop (working FT as an engineer, and dancing and KZfaq). Get after it!! I always get caught up in actually ordering everything and the legal side of things because my engineer brain wants it all “done right” and is crunching too many numbers 😂

When you first start, at least it’s organized as it grows, you’ll see how and what you need. I organized my things and then as the orders came, I saw what it was that I needed and where I needed them to be for easier packaging. It’s all trial and error. Proud of you!

I understand paperwork and legalese is crazy confusing. You might want to see if your local library has a small business area. Some localities run classes and others offer one on one advice specific to your city/state. I definitely stayed to the end and was sorting my washi tape (how did I acquire so much?!) and I can’t wait to pick up one of the evil goose stickers when you do launch ❤

I just found your channel recently and I'm so happy to find another dancer/artist!!! I used to dance/train in a studio for years before covid and I totally feel how the two could clash, I decided to go with art at the end but huge props to you for juggling the two - it's real tough. You seem like such a lovely creator, I believe things will work out just well for you too!! Can't wait to see your shop update come together!!!!! ::):):)::))

Hey, I just started to watch your videos yesterday. I´m from Argentina, 24, and a graphic designer student. Always a creative mind but an endless procastinator. For years I´ve been struggling to practice my skills so I stop feeling that I´m not good enough, to just start and have the discipline to do stuff and not end up on my bed watching Netflix. Your videos, literally light up something in me. So thank you so so much. I hope someday I can buy your art and maybe sell something of my own. I´m currently practicing illustrations :) THANK YOU.

how interesting! actually, i think that the turqoise/white box you got comes from norway, since "munnbind" means "face mask" in norwegian, as in the masks we wore under the pandemic. i suppose the box was originally made for masks, but it seems to work just as well for the labels :D
