glue because I have my curtain open
because like I said it's daytime and I
love the beauty of the Sun it's actually
a beautiful day today I'm gonna give it
to the weather it is a beautiful day I
don't see any rain clouds I don't see
any snow clouds I see blue skies does
that mean we're gonna have spring so
oh my god I am so you ready for spring
so it's best be on its way tell you that
much
so crazy as it is as crazy as it is I
have literally you guys been up since
5:30 this morning 5:30 this morning
Amy's body woke up and said get out it's
a great time to start today uh-huh
come on come on now yeah that's not what
I was saying but that's what my brain
was saying so yeah I have been up since
5:30 I have you guys on my new tripod
thanks mom um although I feel like I'm
looking down at you guys I have it as
high as it can go so I'm just hoping I
mean I could let me see try something
that works better I had you guys all the
way down so I felt like I was like
looking down which is fine but I hate
looking down at you guys like you guys
are equal to me so I need to look at you
guys
straight on anyways back to what I was
saying I've been up since 5:30 this
morning seriously like I was Wow what
are we going on here hold on
oh you guys will see me do my my flower
anyways um anyways I was like come on
you guys come on you guys come on brain
like really I really don't want to start
my day right now like I really would
really would love to just relax like
homies i well know mmm that was not
gonna happen so I got up and I did some
really major research on all of my
tumblers in the prices and what goes
into them and all of that because I
really want to make sure that I am doing
this the right way because I per seed to
see my business
continue I don't want to get into a
business that is gonna be at a dead-end
road however that may be dead in road
because I underestimate my prices I go
under because I'm not charging enough to
cover the basis of my you know supplies
you know there's so many aspects to when
you're owning your own business there is
so many things that come along with
owning your own business from just
prices in general and things like that
and so I really really really was doing
a lot of like research googling how to
you know how to run a business and you
know all of those things because
eventually I would like to get to a
point in my business operation that I
will be able to expand to like an actual
facility where I would be able to bust
these out even more and hire people to
work for you know for me and with me um
during that time but it all has to start
somewhere
Amazon started in a garage the owner the
the the CEO the person that created
Amazon he literally started in a garage
selling things off of the internet that
was it and look where he is today
am I saying oh my god I'm gonna be like
Amazon that's not what I'm saying but
you know I don't her and I don't
underestimate my ability to do those
things if I want to but it takes a lot
of research and knowing what I'm doing
so that I don't under myself and then
end up bankruptcy myself out basically
it's kind of how I'm trying to like
value that so I was up from 5:30 this
morning until 9 o'clock this morning you
guys doing so much research on pricing
and product and everything in ends
between was my stuff and I finally came
up with my this is mm this is the grid
this is it this is what will be being
charged for my cups when I start adding
more things like eventually I want to
start adding the stainless steel wine
glasses the ones that are kind of like
like a weird shape they're thick on the
bottom and then kind of go small when I
start adding those things I will be
adding prices into those you know to
what I have but for right now I am
offering what I have or what I'm you
know able to offer which is I have the
Bubba brand I just found the built brand
in the Ozark brand and then I also have
my 16-ounce tumblers and my 14 ounce he
bpa-free I was asked that question and
you know I really never thought much
about it as in I guess I really didn't
realize how like I've heard of BPA but I
never done like research on what it
really meant but now that I've done a
lot of research it's very important to
make sure that my product does bpa-free
so all of my tumblers are BPA free I
made sure of that because I was just
like oh my god I was like I don't want
to be doing something wrong no they're
all BPA free I made sure I double double
double check that one real quick so
anyways I do have my price sheet
available now and I you guys I don't
think at this time I'm gonna be doing my
Etsy shop I really really really really
have tried to put a lot of effort into
the Etsy shop but to me it's just not
working so it's all of my tumblers
everything is going to be listed in my
facebook page under vinyl net design you
can find all of my cups I'm going to be
making premade cups I will also be doing
personalized cups so if you guys want to
like personalize your cup then you just
order a cup you give me the colors you
want what you want on it and all of that
do keep in mind though as I do them that
it takes steps so meaning like I have to
you know I have to base the cup that I
have to once I base it which is like you
know step too much to explain but
anyways there are steps to
Kien the tumblers and it does take the
last step is a 72-hour wait which is I'm
I can't show you the one that I just
finished cuz it's for a birthday gift
but I will show you life by Jin's
because I'm Melling hers out so I can
show you guys hers one more time before
it goes out it has to sit for 72 hours
after 72 hours I do a wash with soap and
water hot scalding soap water I wash it
dry it I let it sit for another five
hours you know or whatever make sure
that everything's staying good sealed
and these lids love to and then it's I
make sure everything is just clean from
glitter and all that good stuff when you
guys receive your cups still wash them
you know but they are not dishwasher
safe please do not put these in
dishwasher and don't soak them in the
sink you just want to wash them with a
soft washcloth with soap water and then
you want to make sure you dry it because
it sometimes they I was reading that
sometimes if you leave them to soap and
water like to soak in water it can break
the vacuum seal on these so you just
don't want to set them in water while
you're doing dishes just save that as
one of the things that you leave on the
counter and when you're ready to wash
just soap it up rinse it off and then
make sure you dry it really good put it
on it you know you can put it like on a
dryer or something when I wash mine I
have a little stand and I just tap it
upside down and it does its own drying
thing and then I take a blow dryer and
just dry it just you know because I'm
gonna get ready to ship them so I want
to make sure that everything is dry on
them but they're all they are all ready
I mean they're these ones have all been
perfectly perfectly perfect so anywho um
but I just wanted to give you guys an
update on that so I will be listing my
prices on my page so if you guys are
interested wanting to I mean I've had
lots of questions about where do I go to
order a cup or anything like that
my my page I always have it listed in my
description box of vinyl net design go
in and link to that and then also you
can message me just private message me
I'm totally cool with that too
so either way around it you guys can
reach me um what else I'm gonna insert I
had to take it out yesterday because it
would have made my video like an hour
and a half long so i was like 'hey i'm
gonna share with you guys what was
something that happened from Dollar Tree
the other night when I went I'm really
proud of myself for learning to start
advocating and being my own voice
because being my own voice because you
know if I don't speak up
nobody's gonna speak up so I definitely
definitely wanted to make sure that I
put this in there because this is
something that I'm working hard on about
speaking up when something doesn't you
know rub me the right way we got an
Amazon box that was just delivered so I
will open that up here in a minute um so
anyways I'm gonna insert that here you
guys listen to what happened and I'll
see you in a few you guys I'm just
getting out oh wow well I came out made
a very interesting phone call with a
manager and of Dollar Tree and now I'm
out so I've told you guys about her
before this lady that works here
she just has the personality she doesn't
enjoy her job I told you guys about her
that's probably an remember exactly what
I'm talking about and for me you know my
personality is I love life you know I
love life his life perfect all the time
absolutely not are there times where
where I don't want to smile and be
friendly
absolutely but when I would have a job
of customer service and I had jobs that
had customer service I worked at Sears
Portrait Studio I worked at Kraft Michel
craft store I worked at Joanns fabric I
worked at learning palace
I worked multiple places
and even on days where I really was not
having a good day stressing out not just
not having a good day
every time my customers came through my
lane would they ever know that I was
having a rough day or struggling because
I always made sure when they would have
come into my lane that they knew it was
all about them for those few minutes and
when they walked out of my lane they
knew that I was a happy got my stuff
together type of person call that a fake
ok then I'm a fake but when you have a
job that's of customer service that's
your job to be fake and to let your
customers know that they are number one
for those for the time being but when I
go into the store every single time that
this lady is working she has the most
sour attitude the most unhappy
unwelcoming attitude and I love this
dollar tree because this dollar tree is
probably the best dollar tree that we
have in Salem so for me I don't want to
give up going to this store just because
this worker absolutely hates her job or
really has a problem with me something's
wrong so tonight it just I had enough
you know I'm starting to advocate for
myself and I'm starting to learn that if
I don't speak up and I don't say hey I
don't like this it's not gonna be taken
care of because nobody is going to speak
for me only I can do that for myself
so tonight I'm in the store I see her
working but you know she never says
hello nothing nothing she walks directly
by me
so I don't know if it's just a direct
problem with me in person I don't know
so how am I got right whatever you know
I just go on doing my shopping and stuff
nice smile water I smell it everybody I
don't care if you flip me the bird I'm
gonna still smile well I actually blow a
kiss to somebody like that
but you know it's the whole point oh you
are going to get a smile from me whether
or not and I don't always expect
everybody to you know exchange a smile
back but my God if it's your job you
should so anyways I go on with my
shopping I do what I need to do and I
get or I'm getting ready to come up to
the registers and there's a line on the
second aisle over there's a couple
people and she hadn't been you know did
well she was helping one customer and
then she was like I can help somebody
online like really rude I'm like okay so
I was literally coming up to the aisle
so it's like well hey you could help me
and she was just like like you know like
I'm an issue and I'm like oh alright
don't laugh don't smile don't say hello
don't say nothing okay
okay so she's bringing up my items and I
had this toothbrush kit that it's a
toothbrush and it's got a little doll
that comes with it and then there's a
boy toothbrush with a car and for a
dollar I mean you can't beat it and for
Omar Nestor they would absolutely love
it so I found the girl won the girl
toothbrush just sitting you know there
was it wasn't anywhere indirect with the
store it was just City
on some stuff and I seen it oh it was in
the makeup aisle just laying next to the
makeup so I was like oh I'm gonna snag
that one now look for the boy one well I
didn't see the boy one so when I went up
to her aisle I asked her I said hey do
you know if you guys have the boy ones
like this and I said cuz I was looking
back there but I don't see the boy when
I just found this one laying there she's
like um they would be in the clear in
the back under a ton of boxes and I
don't have time to go look for them I
was like oh okay I was like well are
they like somewhere in the store that
I'm not seeing him she's like they're in
there they would be in aisle six if
they're if we haven't either in aisle
six and you know like basically telling
me I need I need to go and look which
okay I'm not expecting you to leave your
register okay yeah buddy you gotta let
me over I'm not expecting you to leave
your register to go look for me but you
could at least be a little bit more
friendly or well telling me to go look
for myself so I told her as I got I was
like it's okay I'll already looked and I
didn't see any so I told her I said just
go ahead and take this one back I was
like because I'm not gonna be able to
take one home you know for my daughter
and not my son we'd have a tantrum and I
was Lana fee and like playing a joke
like not joking but you know being
friendly kind whatever you want to say
and she totally just like snubbed me off
like okay and you're telling me this
because I care why and so I was just
like whatever so then she's standing
there as I'm making a payment or making
my payment and I don't know maybe my
finger hit the wrong button or something
but it said pin invalid which I know my
pin for my debit card so I'm like okay
that makes no sense so she's like try
again I'm like okay you know I I don't
get smart back there's no point in
getting smart back with somebody all
that's gonna do is escalate the
situation so I I don't ever get some are
back I was just like oh okay I was like
yeah I know
and so I don't know why maybe my finger
hit it wrong so as I'm reinsuring in my
pen she's like looking at the guy behind
me and she's like oh it's always got to
be like this hour and a half later and I
get too close and I'm just like dude
really Wow why are you working like if
this is something that I mean I
understand some people don't want to
come to work sometimes but when this
isn't every time thing that's just
that's too much
so I came out of the office and are out
of the store and I called Dollar Tree
and I told him I asked her she answered
actually and I was like hi is there a
manager on shift and she's like yeah
total different attitude total different
way of speaking I was like oh okay I
said can I talk to her and she said yeah
hold on so she calls for the manager the
manager comes on the phone and so I
explained to the manager well you know
what had happened and I was like you
know and I told her the same thing I'm
telling you guys right now when the
managers like no she's like I'm so sorry
like that's not okay she said you know
you need to at least have customer
service talking about her worker and
she's like you know I'm looking at him
right here she's like I'm the one that
socked him she goes then she knows right
where they're at she's like they're
right here on an end cap and I'm looking
right at him and I do have boy ones if
you want to come and look you know
you're more than welcome to come in I'm
like I really didn't feel like going in
again I really didn't because I just
want to go home but it was the whole
point that you know she was being very
friendly about it and I you know I
definitely wanted to thank her for that
and show my face to her and showed my
face back to the lady that was being
rude that I did come back in and I did
get help and um so I told the worker I
said well you know I said I'm sitting
here in my car right now looking at you
guys a store I was like you know when it
comes to the point that I'm having
anxiety coming through lanes because I
don't know if this lady's gonna freak on
me or what's gonna happen I was like
that's just to me that's uncalled for
and so she's like well if you want to
come in I'll meet you right at the front
door and I will take you straight back
to where they're at and I was like okay
so I went back in there and sure enough
you know she took me right to him and I
got Omar one MIG is her one and you know
then she's like here I'll just take you
up to the front and I'll help you myself
and she's like totally fine and she's
like you know I'm not making excuses for
this lady because it's unacceptable and
it's not okay and she's like this is
kind of her personality she's like but
that doesn't matter when you're at a job
you're at a job and as a whole exactly I
said you know I've I've worked you know
I know that there are days that you
don't want to be at your job or that
your life has things going on that are
you know not the best things going on
but you know it when you come to work
you should leave your problems at the
door and don't take them in with you
because your job should be your number
one thing that you're doing unless
you're doing it because you casually
want to do it as a hobby then quit you
know but if it's a must that you have to
work to pay bills then treat it like
that but don't treat people so bad that
literally you have anxiety to go into
somebody's store
that's not okay and that is so
unacceptable and she was just so
apologetic and I'm so so sorry and I'm
going to talk to her and this is going
to be taken care of she's like this is
just not okay and I told her I said you
know I've waited a long time I said this
has been going on for a couple months I
said and you know I don't say things to
people because I don't want her to get
in trouble I said I don't want her to
lose her job I don't want any of that I
was like that's not what I'm trying to
accomplish here I said but what I am
trying to accomplish here is that when I
come into your store since it is the
store that I'd like to come to and I'm
driving clear across town and I'm coming
to this store for a reason and for a
purpose
I want to be treated like that I said
you know I'm not expecting people to
worship me I'm not expecting people to
treat me like some princess I said but
treat me like a customer and let me know
that my money is being spent in a good
store
don't make me not want to come to your
store because of the way that you're
acting or the way that you're treating
me especially when you're not even a
manager even managers shouldn't treat
people that way but you know what I'm
saying like you're just you're just an
employee you know you are replaceable
and that my job one of my boss has told
me and another person that because my
coworker was kind of like that brought
her problems in and she would talk about
her problems you know and kind of use
work as like her therapy session which
it would be - like me like when we would
work one schedule together or whoever
she was working on our working with she
would always talk about her problems
which okay that's fine
do one were not got customers standing
around and said but customers don't come
in to want to hear problems or see
problems or you know we come in because
we want to be a you know happy and
whatever well my boss you know I didn't
say anything but somebody brought it up
to my boss's attention and
so she had pulled both of us aside just
because she was trying to like comment a
little bit you know so she don't want to
just directly take the one customer I
mean the one employer and was like you
know I just want to let my employees
know that you are replaceable you know
if you don't like your job or you don't
know you don't want to show good
customer service and you don't want to
treat this job like it's what it's
supposed to be then the door you came in
to fill out an application can be the
door you go right back out and she's
like I'm not being mean but I am firm
and my employers will not use this time
as a talkin session this is time that
you're on the clock being paid to do a
job and to do a job currently and that
has always stuck with me always has
stuck with me from day one since I heard
that that you know what you are
replaceable you you do not you know
you're not a permanent stay or you can
be fired at any given time so don't get
too comfortable with treating people
like crap because um you aren't gonna
last and somebody will step up and
somebody will say something eventually
because people don't like being treated
like they're an issue at least not me
okay
so yeah I definitely have to say that
the whole situation just you know the
manager was so nice about it and I felt
you know I I always struggle when I'm
gonna talk about like an employer or
talk to their manager because I know
that I had a job at one time well I have
multiple jobs of you know working
customer service and you know I don't
want to get somebody in trouble that's
not what I'm trying you know that was
solely why I waited over three months to
say anything cuz I don't want to say
something and get somebody in trouble
like that's just not that's just not
what I want to do but at the same time
it's like you know you have to
understand too that your your attitude
rubs off onto people and I don't want to
come into your store in a great mood and
leave the store in the worst mood ever
because of how I was treated like that's
not fair and so anyways I just I really
was thankful how it all ended
I just hope the next time that I do go
in the store that there's no like hard
feelings between me and the other worker
and I'm hoping she doesn't know that I
called but that maybe I'll see a change
in her demeanor because it just it
really sucked you know and so anyways
but yeah I wanted to share that with you
guys cuz it was something but I had to
literally take it out the other day
yesterday when I was editing because my
video was like over sick though no I
think it was like at 62 minutes and I'm
like yeah not gonna happen so I took
that part out and thought well I'll just
add it in here
so anyways um go ahead and work on
getting your guys's books ready for the
ones that do have it and like to follow
along okay we are on we are on February
4th this week pursue your own dreams at
your own pace your progress doesn't have
to look like hers because it's your
calling not hers stay in your lane water
your own grass well I added oh but water
your grass let's read that one more time
this is your week pursue your own dreams
at your own pace your progress doesn't
have to look like hers because it's your
calling not hers
stay in your lane water your grass that
I find myself every day saying oh my god
that just means so much to me that just
hits the right spots those are just the
right things that are being said and
it's so true because again you know as
we've talked in the past and we've
talked to the you know presently you
know we currently presently currently uh
we've talked about this that you know
your dreams are your own dreams that you
what you do is for you not for anybody
else just like you know we can go back
to my channel my channels for me and I
love to
with everybody but at the end of the day
this is for me to share I can't go by
what everybody thinks it needs to be
said or done because if that's the case
then my channel becomes everybody else's
and not mine and I want to be as
transparent and and flawless and
truthful and raw with you guys but if
I'm just only sharing what people want
me to share or I only put things the way
that people want me to put things that
I'm not sharing the trueness that I am
there are days where I want to whine and
cry and throw a tantrum and then there's
other days where I'm just like you know
because that's life we all have those
days I'm human I have more than one
day's than the other days and that's
great but it's still the point
why are you Jeremiah please get sissy
some water since you're out there
Jeremiah stayed home from school today
he has a doctor's appointment at 3
o'clock they had to have him come in
because he need his inhaler and he's up
for his renewal like they have to check
him and all that good stuff so oh yeah
so he decided to stay home today and
just relax so he's been out there just
kind of chill auxin watching TV and
sleeping off and on preteens must be
nice but you know it's just I I know
that if I was to go and start sharing
what everybody wants me to share then
it's not going to be my story and you
know every day there are things that
happened in my life that either I want
to share or I want to you know highlight
and then there are some things that I
just don't think is really something
that needs to be put on our channel for
everybody because sometimes people don't
understand and I will never be taken as
a joke
I will never my story will never be
taken as as a game you know because this
is the truth this is true this is this
is it this is everything and more from
my life and so
you know reminding people that you know
you have to be you and your circus is
your own circus you know I'm not a
puppet I'm not a puppeteer you know and
so staying in your own lane and watering
your grass is the perfect saying because
that's exactly what it needs to be you
worry about you you worry about your own
issues and problems you can look over
the fence and listen to my story and
stuff and indulge yourself and put
yourself in my place sometimes because I
do the same thing with other people but
also remember that your own site needs
to be taken care of
don't just worry about everybody else's
grass around you because your grass will
then end up dead before you know it and
that's not gonna be nice because you
can't come back from that it's really
hard
