    hi friend~
    your girl is tired... i'm hoping to have most of the orders packed and shipped out by the start of next week! i'm realizing my business has grown a lot this year and i may need to take the next step and hire someone to help. i am so incredibly grateful for the love and support of my shop and in no way do i mean to sound complaining about it! i have to be realistic with myself moving forward though. it has started to outgrow me :')
    i want to thank everyone for their patience with me~ i'm trying my best as always! it's been a rough week, but we all have them. i will be in better spirits once i get my shop orders all under control haha
    if you've also been tired and anxious, we're in this together! we'll get through it :)
    take care,
    annika

    Hi! Thank you so much for your videos! I also live alone and I have bipolar disorder. My depression episodes really kick my butt. :( but I’ll put on one of your vlogs and it really inspires me to get moving and to cook myself something I like to eat, clean up, work, try something new, or get out of my apartment. So thank you for bringing some positive, cute, honest energy to the internet and into my living room. 💖

    Unsolicited suggestion for bringing the orders down to your car.: Could get a couple collapsible laundry baskets. That way they fold down and don't take a ton of room, but then you have an easy way to bring the volume around. Could also probably get one in like the pink color you like so it matches your vibe?
    Anywhoo, love your videos!

    I hope you start feeling a bit less anxious about all those things on your mind - I go through that a lot and understand how draining it can be. I’ve found that my stress usually (excepting extreme cases) comes from one of three worries - Time, quality, and money. Designers sometimes ask “ Do you want it Good, Fast, or Cheap? You only get to pick two”. Just remember you are young, and you work for yourself so you choose your pace - and something will have to give, be it giving up some luxuries so you don’t have to work as much or learning to manage while balancing a lot of things/ people/ responsibilities. Very few people in the world actually have the freedom to choose as much like you can - I’m excited to continue to watch your journey (and be a little inspired myself:))

    I subscribed only a couple days ago, but this channel truly has what I'm looking for in a vlogging channel. It feels less artificial compared to others I've seen and gives me real life animal crossing vibes almost. It is a real inspiration to see someone living my ideal life (currently still living at home and struggling with my own sticker business right now) plus aesthetically it is so cute. I know I don't know the true ugly side of your life from just watching a few videos, but to see what the good side looks like it makes me hope my good days look like yours someday
