These little packets are annoying pieces of trash to some, but to me they mean so much more than that. A year ago I was crippled with anxiety and post grad depression. It was hard to admit the depression part, but moving to Iowa after living in Arkansas for a majority of my life was hard! I knew that opening my boutique - The Luxy Liv was what I wanted to do. My parents were my biggest cheerleaders during this time and supported me through my biggest steps yet as an adult. They helped me through all of the firsts -when I was super anxious about actually doing this or making a huge inventory purchase. I had to go from being a broke college student to an adult who has to actually spend money to make money. When I see these packets it reminds me that I overcame my anxieties to work towards my dream. I believe in living a life where you are uncomfortable, for when you are comfortable you arenβt growing. A major thanks for my family and friends. They have been a major part in this journey. The 3am conversations where I question what the heck I am doing. The anxiety when I go to buy something I love, but I hesitate because I worry it wonβt be popular. My family that endlessly talks to strangers about my boutique without hesitation. The pride my parents show when they say my daughter owns her own boutique. When my mom wears The Luxy Liv clothing and tells people where she got them and hands business cards out. My cousin that likes all of my posts as soon as I post. Sheβs been there since the start. My βauntβ that gifted me personalized notepad paper with The Luxy Liv on it! All of the loyal customers that have been there from the start. All of the likes, shares, follows, comments, and invites are seen and appreciated. I love seeing these silica packets across my room. They remind me that I am not alone in my small business journey. Opening The Luxy Liv is one of the best choices I could have made.
