I know I said I was going to take a little break from social media, but I was just too excited about this new product to wait! Introducing, my reusable, washable, cotton face rounds!
Every little small change counts. By reducing your amount of waste, even if you only replace one single-use product with something reusable, helps the environment .
Available in packs of 5 or 7, you can make an immediate positive impact on how much waste you produce every day by swapping out your single-use cotton wipes or makeup remover wipes with these soft cotton pads.
See the link in my bio for more info! 💚
Some feels coming your way. Since my crazy winter season ended I've been struggling to muster the motivation to create. My yarn doesn't "call out" to me the way it used to lately. I've been happier to cozy up on the couch and watch a movie without having a project in my hands. It's very unlike me, but I was rolling with it assuming it was just a phase.
I had a good chat with a dear friend yesterday and I said a lot of things I've been pushing down and away so I wouldn't have to deal with them. Normally I am a little whirlwind stress ball, flitting from my full time job, to my dance teaching job, to yarn, to chores, to occasionally eating and sleeping.
Over the past three months I decided to slow down. I started using my free time to invest in myself by cooking great meals, exercising, going to bed at a decent time, stretching, reading... Man I seriously don't remember the last time I read books for fun... I actually teared up a little in the middle of watching Riverdale (of all things 🙄) because it just hit me how much JOY I was feeling by not doing something, knitting, that used to bring me so much happiness and pride.
The break I took from Instagram was so refreshing. Scrolling through and seeing everyone else's amazing work is hard sometimes. You wish you could be on their level or producing as much as they could, but your life is different and doesn't allow for it. Not having that constant feeling of competition took a huge weight off my shoulders.
So in short, I'm trying to find a better balance. I love @strings.and.things it's my little baby! I would be lost without it. But it's time for us to take a tiny break so I can fall in love with it again. Dont worry - if you are a boutique or shop that I sell through and are hoping for product in the fall, you will definitely get it! If you've read this far, I'm making a switch to how I run my business for a year just to see how things go. I won't be taking many orders personally, if any at all. All Strings & Things goodies will only be available through local stores and boutiques, or my online store if I have extra product to list for sale.
I'll be around, but I need to take a break. Love you all ❤️
