PERSONAL NOTE/ GOALS
LETS REFLECT , LAST MONTH WAS SOOOO CHALLENGING 🙂
I am looking forward to June. OMG! Finally we will be out of the mercury retrograde. If you love astrology and then you know exactly what I am talking about. This one has been the hardest one for me to get through. Anyway I am looking forward to launching my business and finally feeling better.
Resale Shop
First, in April I starting entertaining the idea of selling a few pieces I would find at the thrift store. Thrifting has been a great for me to save my money, and save the planet. As a results, I though it would be great to turn it into online based resale shop. You know start off small and see how it goes. In addition, while working through starting my business, I had to remind myself to trust my abilities. So let me at least try. Trust in my skillset and my research. Thus let’s start launching a business in something that I really enjoy to do.
VintageLayn Launches….
My resale shop is called VintageLayn. I thought it would be great to start off on Poshmark and see how it goes. New items will be launched on Friday, June 3rd! Thus, to be among the first make sure to follow VintageLayn here on Instagram and shop here.
