For those of you who select Shipping as your method to receive your online order this note is for YOU! When I re-opened my online store at the beginning stages of COVID I was using Canada Post as the courier. Most of you know or heard how backed up they were with deliveries when they reduced staffing. During this time I wanted to test out and find a faster way to get your order to you asap while the rest of the world finds a way to operate the "new normal". I changed shipping methods from Canada Post to Swift Post June 30th and have made the decision to go back with Canada Post. I have taken your...
When I initially started my business it was nothing more than just a hobby and side hustle. In the beginning I didn't really have a crystal clear idea of what Blazing Bombs was going to become and what my true goals were, nor did I have someone that inspired me... All of that changed in 2017 when I was introduced to a seasoned soap maker through a close friend of mine that I was visiting in Toronto for the weekend. Joey had been a friend of mine for several years in elementary and high school who is now a successful make-up artist and entrepreneur. At the time, he lived in a really cool studio apartment in Toronto while attending school. I went to visit...
Hey everyone! It's been a hot minute since my last blog update because I've been holding off on this particular announcement until the absolute last minute so I could have more time to think of my action plan. As you all know COVID kind of came crashing in late March and made a huge impact on small businesses. For those of you who have been following my business since the beginning, you'll have noticed that I geared towards retail shopping more so than my online store. I can honestly admit, as much as I wish I can do it all- I simply cannot which is why (before COVID) I had my online store closed about 70% of the time so I...
I would first off, like to thank every single one of you for keeping me busy during these times. As businesses go through some major changes and decision making, I need to also make some changes to better serve you guys! With that being said, I have been experiencing a tremendous volume of orders (more than what I was used to when I've had my online store open in the past). As the only maker, business owner, supply runner, email admin, photographer, website designer, order packer, and the list goes on to my several job titles... I have found it extremely hard to find the time in order to make the products that need to be replenished (and that's a little...
Hey friends! (Meg here, maker of Blazing Bombs); I am jumping on here to provide you with full transparency regarding all things business and COVID-19 related. I think that it's absolutely important to share with you what I am doing over here on my end for you & me! Every single day there is new changes and news mandated by the government of Ontario in regards to health, safety, and business. Right now, the world is going through a scary time and small businesses are suffering to pull through. I want to ensure you, that while I am still operating- all and every extra precautionary measures are set in place to keep you safe and myself safe. Below I have outlined...
