good morning and welcome to another little studio vlog today i am channeling my inner zumo wrestler
because i need to wash my hair but i can't be bothered so we're not doing that yet today is
thursday the 1st of july and it's officially launch day for all the new products i am very
nervous i've put so much into this and it's scary obviously i've put a lot of time effort
and and of course money into this so it gets very daunting i've already made my first mistake of the
day um and that was an email that i'd scheduled that was supposed to send at 6 00 p.m tonight
sent at 6 a.m this morning so there's that but i'm gonna not overthink it i feel like
i'm more worried about it than everyone else would be so we're just gonna move on it's fine
i've seen quite a few people get their pr parcels which has been really fun so if you don't follow
me on instagram make sure you do because i mean that's where i show things first today i've got
quite a bit to do i have to make the banners for the website so like the pictures on the front page
and graphic design stuff basically and i always leave this bit to the last minute i don't know why
i think it's because i can never get it right and i'm such a perfectionist so i just put it off
until the very last moment so that's what i need to do mainly today i have mum working
downstairs she's currently subtitling a vlog and then she's gonna check the quantities
of everything to make sure we've got the stock countered correctly because obviously when i did
the pr parcels i was taking things out of the drawers so i just want to make sure it's
correct because if we do sell out of anything i don't want to like sell more than we have
i don't think that would happen but i'd rather be prepared and then mom is also taking some
photos of the net grocery bags today because we've only just got their samples so we need
to do that which i will be editing and uploading today so i need my laptop i'm very snotty today
i think hay fever is just not the one so i've taken my medicine i just need to wait for it to
kick in but hopefully it actually does so i'm gonna get my laptop i need my little adapter
my tripod i'm gonna grab some breakfast and then i'm gonna go downstairs and get to work
we're just journeying out to take some photos of this
don't get mad in it because i do not look camera ready today just wanted to jump in
here and give a shout out to this week's vlog sponsor so the wonderful people over at curve
have actually sponsored this video oh my god this card matches my outfit so if you watched
my vlog a couple of vlogs back you'll have seen me talk about curve and i've also mentioned them
over a year ago now i've used curve every single day pretty much for over a year and i love them i
rave about them to any old person basically anyone who'll listen because curve allows me to join
multiple cards together i have a personal bank card a business bank card and also a joint one
and obviously depending on where i'm going and what i'm buying depends on which card i want to
spend from and rather than me taking out all of the cards and probably losing them knowing me
you can just take this card and you can select which one you want to spend with on the app
tap this card like you would any other and there you go you've spent your money you can
also like rewind it so if you accidentally put the money on the wrong card you've got so long
to tell curve and they will refund the wrong card and then spend the money on the correct one so
again people like me who forget you very easily can change it there's no worries about it so i
love this this card itself is the curve metal one with this i get mobile phone insurance i
get travel insurance i also get discounted access to airport lounges and there's a bunch of other
perks you also get a cashback card so it's like a virtual card on the app and it means that you
can get rewards for spending money basically so you pick like your favorite merchants and you get
so much percentage cashback so you've got like free virtual curve money to spend basically it
means you'd have to carry lots of cards around you can make this work with your phone so it works
on like my phone which is an apple phone works on google pay etc there's a lot of uses so many perks
to this and there is a link in the description of this video to give it a try let me know if you do
try it because i'm always raving about it i want every single one of my friends and family to get
it because it just makes so much sense rather than having to remember to pick up particular
cards before you leave you just have this one and it's so light you can put it in your back
pocket store it in your phone wallet or whatever and you're ready to go so yes for days like today
where i'm going to be going to the post office it's ideal thank you so much kev for sponsoring
this video and yeah don't forget to check it out and let me know how you get on with it
many hours have passed wow this lip gloss is very pink we'll see how this looks on camera is it all
right maybe it's just this camera um many hours have passed you saw my mom pack some orders she's
been to the post office i've literally been starting the same spot all day making sure i
don't send the email wrong again and all that stuff so yeah i've made those banners that i
continue to put off and i think everything's ready to go it's currently 10 to 5. so we've got just
over an hour we're just going to take some photos of me for my instagram um so i'm going to post the
products mum's just remaking this bed because i ruin it every time i sit on it so yes we're
going to take these photos i'm going to quickly edit them and then i think i think that's it
i always feel like i've forgotten something but i have that many to-do lists i really don't think i
can but i don't want to jinx myself so right we're going to take this photo we'll see how
it turns out i have to try my best to look not stressed in these photos and they never seem to
never seem to work does it no oh so if you do this photo you'll know you'll know the struggle
i'm wearing my emma warren t-shirt by the way
where am i going i don't know
i'm just gonna sit here i might send myself this one one of your mouse
because i really like it all right i need to knock one off on the website so i've got a smile
details i literally can't move if anything falls over i can't see
you actually could do that
what does it say which one is it with the stars
how could this one keep going right i'm gonna edit these on my phone
okay it is 5 57 so we have two and a half minutes until lunch i think everything's fine i've been
sat checking everything and clicking on everything and there's only so many times you can check it i
guess until you need to kind of give up and just accept it there's people actually waiting on the
website which is exciting there's a couple of people in the uk and there's actually someone
who are you there's someone like in the us i'm not quite sure where looks like florida way
which is exciting i'm gonna go on instagram live but i just need to double check i've got like my
old phone here which is like really naff um but i need to double check that i can still post things
or i can go and steal my mom's phone i think i'm gonna do that one second
okay i've got mom's phone because mum has mom has soul on fire on her phone okay 30 seconds to go
i'm gonna post all the stories then i'll go live on instagram and cross my fingers
hello so i've still got my mask on my arm it is the next day i didn't even
i basically forgot that was vlogging yesterday so the initial launch was really really great i went
on instagram live it was fine everything went fine the website was okay 10 out of 10 for that however
i didn't actually get like the level of sales that i'd hoped for i set myself like a mental goal
and we haven't reached it which i don't know whether that's either me not preparing well enough
or me overshooting the goal i'm not sure or just i don't know swings around about the time i don't
know so it's a little bit disheartening probably another reason why i didn't pick up the vlog but
i'm over it i'm very grateful for the orders that we did get we got a lot and i'm always
grateful for anyone who places an order so yeah i i think i'm just falling into that trap of
like do you know all those people you see on like tic toc and instagram and getting like
hundreds of orders every day you compare yourself don't you and it's very easy to do that and i need
to stop so yeah i'm gonna stop beating myself up about it i am gonna be proud of myself
for making products that i love and we are gonna pack some orders up so basically i can pack
everything and booked the orders that have the bags in because i'm collecting the bags soon they
have a little bit longer of a lead time because they're like pretty much made to order so what i'm
gonna do i'm gonna pack up all the other ones i'll print all the invoices and everything out pack
them up and head to the post office oh whilst i'm looking at it i also we found these in lidl today
a little coca-cola shaped glasses i thought they were quite cool so we bought them we
have a lot of glasses for our house but so be it okay i'm gonna put you over here
and i'm gonna sit on the floor i always prefer packing on the floor even though i have like my
sit stand desk now i've just i've just always loved sitting on the floor to pack i think it's
old habit you know so i am going to print off these i need to use my stickled paper
with the integrated labels and yeah let's make a start
it's printed off a bunch of orders it's actually missed two and i don't know why so
i've just sent them to print as well is it the ink is this what is going on load paper
i think i've sourced it it ran out of paper oh okay we're gonna print those i've written
a list of everything in the pool of everything that i need to print
or cut on the cricut so i'm gonna do those first and then i will get to making things
some of the orders actually only have things in them that i just i already made so i can make
those up whilst i wait for the prints to print there's a couple of a4 prints there's a couple
of a three prints and there's also a couple of a5 so yeah we've got quite a few to do which is good
i should really clear my desk maybe maybe that's what i should do right now all right i think the
first thing i'm going to print is the biggest just so it's done so i'm going to print the a3
ones so i have the epsom archival paper and i just need a single sheet for now and i'm
going to load this up into my printer now this paper has either a white side or a cream side
and you have to make sure you put it in the right way so load it into this printer
this printer is the best thing ever it's very dusty i don't know the last time i cleaned this
but this is so good and then i'm gonna have to put my laptop on it so it's nearby so i can plug
in the usb this printer is wireless i'm just not i've just not set that part up yet because
i'm lazy although probably make my own life difficult by not setting it up
so let's get this i need to see what prints i need to print this a31 is on here
and then whilst that's setting off i'm gonna put the vinyl onto a cricut mat so that i can cut
the decals i decided not to like cut the decals i thought i'd just put them to order and then
if there's one that's like super popular and i know it's a bit of a trend i'll cut more of those
but just to save waste and time i thought i'd do it that way so i need a mat i need the vinyl
this is the strong grip map by the way then we need to pull out the jacket
the printer is going to be loud again sorry turn it on get the qriket design space up and
what we're going to do in design space i'm going to just lay out this project with these elements
on it so we need to customize i'm just going to lay it out and then we're going to load the map
so
okay
okay we've got a setup going on i've made orders up here got my boyfriend packing
decals around the corner and i'm gonna put everything in the boxes um my boyfriend's
just put stickers on all the cards for me yeah we've got a couple of pencil cases going
and yeah there's quite a nice different combo of orders actually so yeah let's get packing these
three
we're done well half done i've got a stack of orders there i've got a bunch more to do which
include the bags i'm going to collect those bags tomorrow uh but i thought i'd end the
vlog here because there's not much more going to happen uh if you haven't already checked out the
