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...
Today I am going to share with you how I planted the seed for something I never knew would even grow. That's right folks, this about how I even began making bath bombs and where the drive for entrepreneurship I believe stemmed from. In order for me to give you the FULL story, I am going to take you back in time to when I was 5 years old when I was the proud business owner of a good ol' Lemonade stand...that's right. I offered walk in's and drive thru customers conveniently at the curb side offering the freshest and finest lemonade on the block. When lemonade wasn't in season, I would be getting crafty in my "office". I would make...
While reflecting on what has happened in the past couple years, it's crazy to think of everything I managed to accomplish....and still be here to write this, given I don't have arthritis in my fingers yet from all the bath bombs I've individually hand pressed. Then I got to thinking after seeing some random Instagram post of writing a mini "decade in review" how much the direction of my career paths had changed. Of course I filled it out, posted it, and then got to thinking how scary it is that 10 years literally passed by. I know, "I'm only 27," but it doesn't feel like 7 years ago I graduated from nursing. Can someone please freeze time? Because tomorrow...
