One Year on Etsy, wow.

Time really does fly. Today completes one year of Bailey Doesn't Bark on Etsy.com. That's when (unofficially), BDB started business. Picture above: first sale.
I want to thank Etsy for existing. Because of Etsy, starting a business was a lot easier. The resources for independent, small business owners are great and the community extremely helpful and welcoming. The exposure Etsy gets and provides is phenomenal. If you're an artist, struggling to get your own business started, I highly recommend Etsy. Try it out, ask around, explore. Really, just do it.

Now, BDB has it's own ecommerce website - after one whole year. Didn't seem that much when we launched the website last month. I didn't even realize it had been a year today, til, today :) I'm not going to lie, I do wish I had accomplished a lot more in a year than I have. I wish everyday would have more hours or just slow down a bit. I wish I can have all those years back that I spent on the wrong career. What's life's return policy?
However, I am very very happy that I've finally found the right path (I will catch up) and am EXTREMELY grateful to my customers, friends and family. Seriously, not trying to be cheesy, but what would I do without you?

Anyway...

Today I'll share with you how I picked the name Bailey for my brussels griffon. I recruited my brother to help me pick a name. I went online and went through baby names :/
As I read the ones I liked out loud, my brother would yell (in portuguese), twisting his voice a bit and as if we were back to age 5 and 10: AaAaraArggh I can't believe you're naming your dog that.
It became a bit annoying after naming more than a dozen names... But it was when I said: Bailey - he paused, looked at me in the eyes and said: you can't be serious.
That's when I, me, 10 years old "I'm going to annoy my little brother" me, knew that we had finally found a name for the little brussles griffon arriving on August 23rd.

i love the shops i select for the treasuries, however, my editing ::: not so much.

::the reviews are in::

i highly recommend these two products by gudonya too. i tried them as soon as they arrived in the mail :)

the consistency of the shampoo is quite unusual. it's thick and grainy but softens immediately when you apply to wet hair. you don't need much for enough lather. my hair is long and with regular shampoos i need quite a squeeze, but not with this one.

the scent is out of this world. you have to try it to know what i mean...

the conditioner has an amazing scent as well. it has a delicate aroma and it lingers on your hands as well as it does on your hair.

like the shampoo, not much is needed to do it's job.

those who know me are aware of my little problem with odd numbers... i've been wearing 4 rings for a long time and it did bother me (don't judge!)
