A lot of good news. I'm going to get straight into.
1. First Gift Box Delivered!
As I've talked about before, I was sending gift boxes out & I sent the first one. On Tuesday, it was delivered. When I got the text alert it made it through customs, I was hype. I went & brought a bottle & I've been sipping on it since then. Even right now, I got a shot in me. That's not to condone drinking, I'm just being honest. Bare with me, please. Anyhow, Spice did a box opening on stream.
You can find the full unboxing here! The sound cuts out because the music being played is copyrighted, but you can see the rest of the merch she got!
It's crazy because I had fell asleep around I don't remember, but I woke up on the floor. Now, I ended up on the floor because I was laying on my futon in couch mode, one leg off. I just like rolled off. I wake up at like one in the morning & I look at my phone; Spice is live on Twitch notification. I'm thinking, 'Dang, she ain't reply to my email on if she got the box...'. Open Twitch & she holding the shorts. My eyes shot wide open, no funny.
Now, I'm just going to wait on her to take photos. Hopefully in the near future, I'll be able to make the photos myself. She's in Canada, so it's a passport away. It'll happen in the right time. Just trying to get things established. This is just the beginning.
Check out her Twitch here!
2. New Socials for adorá!
Okay, I already had a Instagram page for adorá, but the thing is, it used to be my meme account. I should had created new page. It's necessary to do that. I'm looking forward to being creative with my layouts for Instagram & promotional images. There's also an artist I would like to send photos to so he can make promotional images too.
I'll be linking the new Twitter & Facebook pages here too. Just hold on.
3. Lapel Pins!
I've been trying to come up with new things to go with the merch that isn't clothing. Things I can actually sale & not use as pack-ins or such & such. So I decided to make lapel pins. The following is just a mock up, but once I get my hands on a real one, I'll post the photo.
These pins are 1.5 inches wide & .657 inches in height. I'll be selling them for seven dollars each. They should be done by the first week of September. Honestly, the next time I order the lapel pins, they won't look like this, so these might become really rare after a while. It's just, this was not what I was trying to go for, but it's lovely. I think it'll be an eye catching piece that many would like to wear, namely females. It also strikes up the conversion of "what does it mean?"
4. My Twitch Is Booming!
Okay, so I had to talk about this. This has nothing to do with adorá, but everything to do with me. I have to express my gratitude. I believe fifteen people have subbed to my Twitch channel. The other day, while I was streaming Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, A streamer that goes by AyeItsAron dropped 716 Bitties! He wasn't the only one to do it, others dropped Bitties, & Vrecs_ gifted five subs! Vrecs_ did that like twenty minutes into my stream. Like, they don't know it, but I thanked God for all of them & the love & money they've given to me. My heart was filled with joy. To feel appreciated, welcomed & loved, it is truly something that is indescribable.
Check me out, & them too!
5. Addressing Subscriptions & Post Updates on Wix
There are some of you that have subscribed to my blog & don't get an email every time I make a post. With the free plan on Wix, I am only able to send three mass emails per month. Apologizes. I will find a way around this in the future.
6. Website on the Way!
I had a virtual meeting with a website designer. Basically, I do have a website on the way, but it's not what you guys think. It's going to be the landing page only. I know, I understand. This is upsetting. Still, it's something & I'm excited about it. This is a process. I'm taking my time with it all so that it's what I want it to be. This is the mock up to the website.
The name the designer is Chineme. She was really cool in the Google meeting. She actually put me on. I need to do graphic design work for others. It'll just be good for me to get practice in, keep me sharp & get my name out there. All of that is good for me. I'm worth it too. But yes, the landing page mock up. I was inspired by a building sign. It's a funny story. I wish I could explain better, but I'll get to it one day.
7. What's Next?
What's next? Well, a lot. This is just the surface of what's to come. I want this fall to be very big in terms of movement, progress & photography. There's so much to be done & I'm enjoying my journey to the top. There's still people I have yet to meet that I know I'll love, still people I have yet to work with, so much...but in the immediate future, a few things; collaboration for some hoodies, photoshoots & focusing on making sells. Also, Ilan's & his wife's gift boxes are next up!
Personal Reflection
There's a lot I wanted to talk about, but the thing I that's been on my heart is love. There was a thing that happened...I told someone I loved them, & they told me I didn't. The conversation actually hurt my heart, I cried. It's because, I know I love them, but they believe it to be otherwise. Since then, I've been reminded of how to love, what is love, & what it means to love someone that you don't fully know. It's not about knowing someone, it's about where your heart is; if it's in a pure place, the love is true, genuine & full of life.
I lost my train of thought, but nothing but good things can come from this. I'm excited to showcase a poem my friend wrote. It's extremely good, I was amazed. I'm going to leave it there, but I'll pick it up the next time.
I wish you all grace, mercy, success, wholeness, love, blessings, & peace of mind, spirit & soul. I appreciate who ever took the time to read this. To have you spend your invaluable time on my words, thoughts that I share to be transparent & track my journey...it's humbling to even think people care of this. Have a blessed day. I love you with a pure & innocent love.
