Long Hiatus

So, my last post was last year March! hahaha

#fail.

So much has changed and I am so much more tired and ready to BE MY OWN BOSS!

As much as I appreciate structure and making a difference in a company, I truly deeply want to be in control of my life. As I get older, my happiness mostly stems from the ability to be myself. The self-conscious, approval-seeking little me still lives. But, honestly, I think I've kinda ignored her for the most part. Partly from being exhausted from commuting to LA from OC and just working and not sleeping well. Partly from just growing older and gaining somewhat of maturity.

I will unashamedly admit that a big part of my desperate wish to gain control of my life is to set my own work schedule. I am relatively lucky right now to have somewhat of a flexible work schedule. But, I want that 4 hour work week thing. I want to be able to travel whenever wherever (which also means financial freedom).

Another reason is to really taste the fruit of my labor. Working for a boss or a company just doesn't quite give me the same satisfaction. I selfishly wish for the day when I can support myself (paying rent, buying yummy food, traveling) through my projects.

Besides Spirit Ink, I'm starting another Education Tech project with friends, while I work part-time doing Marketing for a Startup, part-time tutoring, commuting 2-3 hours a day. And I will be collaborating with my best friend on a Advice blog for early twenties professionals. BF carefully suggests that I am spreading myself too thin, to which I obviously scream "DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!" unreasonably. I do agree silently, but YOLO AMIRITE?

k GOTTA GO BE BUSY AND MAKING SOMETHING OUT OF MYSELF (SO I TELL MYSELF).

Update

It's been like almost 2 weeks since I clicked that little favorite button to come to the blog.

So update:

1. Completely failed the raw food diet. Why? because I actually enjoy eating real food. Not rabbit food. What the hell was I THINKING? But, I did lose weight.. PURELY FROM NOT EATING ENOUGH.

2. My business with my bff, SPIRIT INK, is actually SELLING THINGS! exciting. However, that means I am stressed to the max due to a sudden increase in work load.

3. Got a job at BeautyChoice. well, I got my old job back. lol which is also adding to my stress load.

4. Also, with #2,3, I didn't get to do much fun things. However, right before all these things started, I went to Napa with the bff and bf. (: will post soon.

Anyhoos. that's all, I think.

Done: Have a photoshoot

So, I have this business that I started with my best friends.

We sell a grown up version of temporary tattoos that are hip and chic!

And for the website and our business blog, Jenn and I decided to have a photoshoot.

I've been wanting to take some pretty pictures, and we really needed to get some pictures of the tattoos that can showcase them.

Please support our business!!!
