A few weeks ago my sis and I took a quick magical trip to Maui. The thing that worried me the most was the darn testing, when really I should've been worried about where we were gonna eat. Turns out the testing was the easiest part of the trip. The fancy orange bracelets were our ticket to Maui! If you have any questions about traveling to Hawai'i right now drop em below. I'd love to help you. My only recommendation right now is to make restaurant reservations ahead of tim...e. Like as early as you can. I'm a foodie & unfortunately all the "good spots" had 2 hour waits or were full. Oh and don't forget reserve your rental car in advance too...they have shortages and the prices have increased (a lot). I booked ours early on and didn't pay a ridiculous amount. #manifestingmagicandmiracles #mauihawaii #letsgo #adventureawaits #sistertrips #hawaiianairlines #foodie #mauifoodie #mauifoodie #mauitrip #visitmaui #traveltips

A few books available in our magical space Bliss Marketplace . I love to look through the book section on my thrifting excursions. I'll look for personal development, non fiction & fiction books or ones that just have a pretty cover. Fun fact, the first thing I do when I get them home is take off the paper sleeve if it's a hard cover book. The hard covers are just so beautiful, I love to see the imprinted letters on the spine vs a photographed cover. I have a long list of b...ooks saved on my Amazon list and sometimes I'll get lucky and find them at the thrift store. I take *most of my finds (*some are hard to part with) and make them available to you at Midtown Bliss. My hope is to encourage you to spend some time being still in between the pages of a book. This is something that I myself need to work on myself (you don't want to see my piles of unread books. I even have a copies of a couple these books for myself, so you I'd grab one send me a message and we can encourage each other to read & compare notes! I've read Where the Crawdad sings and it was excellent, I read more than half of it one day. See more

Some Monday inspiration. #bekind #dogood

I've been working on a lot of backend stuff these days, along with a lot of dreaming and planning. I just deleted 236 listings from my website. The other day I deleted 150 listings from our Etsy store. I used to think I had to make and offer ALL OF THE THINGS to be successful. But what is the definition of success? What I found out is that offering all of the things is hella stressful for me. So many t-shirt colors, prints colors, designs. It's a lot to keep up with for thi...s 1 women shop. So this year my focus is shifting. In order to start creating from my inspiration list, I need to pare down what I've been offering because Etsy says you need to have more listings to get more views. To make the time to create what I really want, I will no longer be doing single custom orders. It takes a lot of time to create single designs. I also won't be doing designs for every holiday or season. What you will see are designs that truly speak to me. I've had a list of inspiration that keeps growing and no time to make them. So I'm making it a priority to start creating from my list. I also am going to focus on printing logos for businesses, sports teams, and schools. I've already been doing but I want to do more because I also love sharing your businesses with our audience. What you'll also see is me learning new things. I want to be more efficient with my time, and one way for me to be more efficient as a printer is to learn screen printing. I am so excited to dig into this process and to be able to print designs faster for you. One thing that I don't ever want to stop doing is making my actual products. Everything that comes from our business is made by us. I'm also going to be collaborating more with my sister Danielle Steers (aka Dyme the other half of this brand) Who's ready to finally see her artwork on apparel or bags! If you made it down here thank you for sticking along! This was meant to be a short post, but then a brain dump just came out lol. Hope you have a great weekend and don't stop chasing after your dreams. xoxo, Nicole
