Hey everyone! Just wanted to update everyone on some things that have been going through my head.
I have thought about this and probably re-written this about 100 times 😅
When I first started Bella Vida Boutique, it was magical. I couldn’t believe I had actually found something I loved doing and was actually good at. I have created beautiful friendships, discovered so many amazing shops, seen your beautiful babies grow, and it has been so rewarding in so many ways.
I thank the ones who messaged us to check up on me to see how I was doing since I stopped taking orders out of nowhere. As much as I love the business I have created, I really felt I needed to step away for a bit. After my last drop, I ended up abruptly moving with my kids, got busy with my finals with school, working my pharmacy job, and adjusting to a whole new living situation really didn’t give me any time to continue any new drops, etc.
I always found myself doing orders all the time literally putting work first before anything else, (not having any time to study, being with my kids) and I was barely sleeping, barely passing my classes, and feeling like a bad parent because all I did was work on my days off. My mental state got so bad that doing what I used to love didn’t even feel satisfying anymore. As much as tried and tried, I couldn’t enjoy it anymore. My babies needed me and I needed to get myself back for the sake of my mental health.
Right now my primary goals are to concentrate in school, and give my kids the attention they deserve, especially with my son who recently got diagnosed with ADHD. My family will always come first, and I hope you all understand.
I WILL be back, it might be next month, it might be in a couple of months, or maybe next year. I really cannot say at the moment.
But I hope you all come along for when I do return. I’m grateful for everything this business has given me and even more grateful to have the best customers in the world! ❤️
I love you all so much and I will see you all soon! ❤️
