Hey everyone!
So, you've stumbled onto my little corner of the internet, and I'm so glad you're here. This space is more than just a website; it's the culmination of a dream, a labor of love, and a whole lot of late nights fueled by passion (and maybe a little too much coffee!).
You won't find a perfectly polished persona here. What you will find is a genuine peek into the life of a self-employed maker, someone who took a leap of faith and is carving out a space in the world, one lovingly hand poured scented candle (or wax melt!) at a time.
Creating my own business wasn't just about making things; it was about building something meaningful. It was about finding a way to channel my creativity, to connect with others through my work, and to ultimately to find a little tine bit of peace in this life. But let's be real, the journey hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows. There's a raw, unfiltered side to running your own show, a reality that often gets glossed over. So, I'm pulling back the curtain to share the joys, the challenges, and the occasional moments of sheer panic that come with the territory.
Consider this your invitation to join me as I navigate the thrilling, sometimes chaotic, and always rewarding world of self-employment. I hope you'll find inspiration, encouragement, and maybe a little bit of comfort knowing you're not alone in this wild ride. Let's create something amazing together!
Lots Of Love,
Camrhisa <3
Feel Familiar?
How many of you felt like this on a Monday morning? Like somehow all life has been drained out of you and your first morning coffee hasn't even had time to work it's magic yet. I get it! I felt this way for a long time.
Let me just let you all know that I am a mum of three and I can tell you that I completely understand societies pull on us mums! Look after the kids, keep house and work! Now I absolutely know that most mums would love to get back to work, to go back to their careers without the worry of childcare but that can't always happen. It's life and that's that. But we still try, I know I did. For years I jumped from job to job raising the kids as in between and I felt worthless, like not only was I throwing my life away in dead end jobs but also I was wracked with guilt because day care was raising my children! My life went on like that for a very long time, stuck in that rut, not knowing what to do to get out of it and not knowing if I wanted to because at least I was providing, right?
It still didn't feel like it was enough. I was missing something and I thought I knew what that was. Even then I was scared to go for it because in all honesty, I didn't know if I had the courage to do what I wanted to do.
How many of you, both men and women have stayed silent in your rut because you have felt like this? Not gone after what you really want? It doesn't even matter what it is, education, money, business, well paying job. Everyone has something they have always wanted to do. I can promise you all that you are not alone, half the people in your workplace right now are probably feeling like that and you know that's ok. Recognise it, take in a deep breath and do it anyway. You will not regret it. Even if you try an fail, try again. You got this guys! I believe in you <3
