Always Expect the Unexpected - Purge Update


Message of the week

Always Expect the Unexpected

What happens this week with the Purge?

  1. I sold a lip butter set, a suit and a skirt.
  2. I received a bid on a T-shirt, a trouser and a dress.
  3. I received a warm message from Jill, owner of MeganMakesGood about the shop. She found my blog through my FB. It warmed my heart. First, because it is nice to receive some feedback from you do, Two, I did not know anyone would read about what I do on FB.
  4. I packed my good and made on more cyclop card for it and went to the shop.
  5. I spoke with my friend designer Zosia about developing the visual design of the shop
  6. I received a message about purchasing one of my dress and send it to Mauritius - Oulala I smiled, can you imagine me selling a £1 dress and send it to Mauritius...
  7. Total sale this week: £19
  8. Number of Visits on Blog: (I Don't Know) The total page view of the blog is 12,747


What am I going to Improve on?

  • How can I organise my packaging better?
    • Create a space in the office for packaging
    • Cut off plastic bags for reuse
  • How can I promote the shop better and be more confident about it?
    • Share the message with other about the shop. I am still a bit shy to actually share it to people around me. 
    • Write up a script to let people know about the shop so I can feel more comfortable
    • First fill up the different platforms with your goodies and then start talking about it with people once you are ready
    • Reconvert Ms.Cyclop to be the shop?!?
  • What can I share with people that are valuable?
    • I was thinking to write a book and sell it. I came across the owner of Electric Kitty who wrote a beautiful children book about child bereavement. It is such an important message to share.
    • The other thing I was thinking was to share plants. I can easily grow them...I can easily share them. 
  • When do you start taking a beautiful pic of you and your stuff
    • M and I we have been discussing taking nice pictures of the item I want to share with people. He is a great photographer and I would like to look like Beyonce... 
  • Who would you like to collaborate with and what would it look like?
    • I really want to. I was thinking to create a small community of people who help each other with swapping 1 hour a week of time to promote each other shop... Let's see who I could talk to.
  • What do you want to do about creating the visual of your shop
    • I am still thinking. I am thinking though to maybe start first with filling all platform with the good I want to share and then if I have more money coming in, I can start talking with Z about making my shop better. 
  • What do you want to do about the blog?
    • I am still figuring it out. At the moment, it is just for me to keep a track record of what happens week to week. Eventually, it will be nice to write proper articles about sharing and caring about one another and everything that there is around us. 
    • I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Maybe once I have filled all the different platform with the things I want to share. I can go back to the blog and figure out what exactly I want to write about.
    • Something unexpected is going to come and I will figure exactly what I want to write about on this blog.

What are you grateful for?
The gift and surprises I receive everyday.

Missminimalist , Thank you

I was hooked to missminimalist blogs in the past four days, reading approximately 16 pages of individuals testimonies on how they started and enjoyed their minimalist journey. It opened my eyes on the endless minimalist lifestyles that any of us can implement. I admire the traveller, the spiritualist, the true materialist (as opposed to consumerist), the mindful, the artist, the mum, the dad, the designer who with intention choose to keep the things that add value to his/her life and get rid of the frivolous. Beyond just getting rid of things, there is not participating to our current wasteful society, it is recognising that we are all equal regardless of what we own and finally it is embracing freedom. It is why I love it. I encourage you to have a read/rid, I hope it will inspire you:  http://www.missminimalist.com/

SUCCESS is A TEAM EFFORT

Reading Anna Wintour harsh advice for fashion students resonated with me (click here for full article). I have been working with Sandrine Nyota for now two months. Interestingly, the young designer follow  unconsciously  to the letter Anna Wintour advices and I think they are worth following: STARTING YOUR OWN LINE DOESN’T GUARANTEE SUCCESS Ultimately, this apply to anyone who want to start their own business. Although I will say, success can only be determined by the individual in the driving seat as success for some is different for others. It remains supporting other successes by working for another designer or company can be extremely rewarding as we learn the importance of having a team around us to achieve greater high. Indeed there is not just one road. FOR GOD’S SAKE, FIND SOME GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT Getting a job is just so much more than covering the end of the month, it is also about developing relationships by helping others. At the end, it is a gain ...
