I Really Don’t Celebrate Halloween

Yeah, it’s true I don’t celebrate Halloween. Halloween wasn’t a holiday that my family and I celebrated, we didn’t buy costumes, go trick -n- treating or whatever you do on Halloween. I remember when I was in the 1st grade and the school was having a Halloween party/parade, told my parents and they told my teacher and principal that I’m not participating in Halloween activities; so it was my choice to leave school for the rest of the day or stay in the principal’s office and I left school for the rest of the day. But other years on Halloween, my former schools didn’t participated so I didn’t have to leave school early or stay in the principal’s office.

When I have children of my own in the future, I will definitely continue this whole ‘don’t celebrate Halloween and the true meaning of holidays.’ My grandparents did it with my parents and aunts/uncles and my parents did to me and my sisters and I will do it too.

If you want to celebrate Halloween, go ahead but I don’t.

My No Spend September & October Month

Hey loves.

So I already know what you’re thinking, ‘Shabria, are you serious going to do a bi-monthly no spend challenge? That’s crazy!’ Nah, not really, this is a piece a cake to me. Because I rarely spend my money UNLESS I really need something and I really don’t need anything. Plus I’m working from home and I don’t make money enough to ball. But I’m also doing a bi-monthly closet clean as well, I’m getting rid of my gently used clothes and accessories adding it to my poshmark closet (poshmark closet: itsshabriag29) and I’m also giving it away to my goodwill and savers stores near me. I think this is a great challenge for everyone to control their spending habits; its one of those ‘needs vs wants’ deals, like, ‘do I need this or do I need that.’ I hope everyone does this cool exercise and I know you can do it.

Happy reading and follow my blog for more posts xo

Comment below, if you would do this challenge in the future?

In My Future ❤️

So, if you’re wondering where I have been and why I’m being absent on my blog. I’ve been working on my online jewelry business/store. I know, it’s very exciting for me and I’ve been focused of this project but I’m also working on other projects as well. So far, the progress is about 35% – 40% done; I’m just being patient and focused. I already had a small amount of jewelry supplies and tools but I did stock up on them when I went to Michael’s when they had their 50%-70% sale recently.

 

The only thing that I’m really worried about is shipping. I really can’t afford the tracking numbers of the shipping labels, so I don’t know how I’m going to do it but I will think of it. I’m not selling my jewelry on Etsy because there’s so much competition and a few hidden fees that I can’t afford; I might sell them on Storenvy or somewhere that’s free and no hidden fees ( if you don’t already, I’m very cheap/frugal with my money).

 

To be honest, I’m very nervous about my online store. Because I don’t know if it will be a success or not, I’ve been thinking about my online jewelry store since I was 19 years young. I’ve been making jewelry when I was around 14-15 years young; I started selling them around my high school for a small price like $3-$4. My business did alright; I made a total of $105 minus stocking up on supplies. I just hope my online store do alright because I just want make income again.
