Day 3 of #MarchMeetTheMaker is all about my values

Day 3 of #MarchMeetTheMaker is all about my values and beliefs. This is something that I've worked on a lot over the last couple of years with @indie_roller and they're ever evolving, just like my style that I spoke about yesterday.

🖍 CREATIVITY
Being creative is integral to who I am, I'm at my happiest when I have a pencil in my hand or have a new idea for a product, and many of my hobbies include some sort of creativity or the arts. I believe that everyone can be creative in their own way, it doesn't have to be your job, you don't have to be able to draw, some find their creativity through cooking or gardening. Anyway, I could talk about this all day if you let me, it's very important to me.

❤️ LOVE
It might sound cheesy (I love a bit of cheese) but the next one is love. When I first started thinking about my values, I had a long long list and this one was a simplified version of a few things: family, kindness, loving what you do and love for the world we live in. As a business, this means great customer service, making my own hours so I can be there for family, making environmentally friendly choices in my products/packaging/waste and being kind to myself. It is a very broad one but doing everything from a place of love.

🥳 JOY
This means doing what I love, bringing joy to your letterbox, finding the little things that make me smile in everyday and celebrating those little wins. Also dance breaks are essential to the running of this business at times!

A little disclaimer to say that I'm aware that all of these are very positive, and I have considered "what if I'm not feeling creative?" or "what if I'm not feeling the joy?" both of which are completely fine and this is when something would need to change, I'd need to take a breather and come back to my work after a rest. This isn't saying that I always feel joyful or always feel creative, or always make the right decisions for my business. These are just a little guideline and might help point me in a good direction when I need to make a big decision in my business.

Good Afternoon Rockhoppers! It's Penguin here! As

Good Afternoon Rockhoppers! It's Penguin here!

As it's Sian's birthday, I'm holding the fort today (we all know who does all the hard work around here anyway...aye?) and even though she forgot my birthday on 3rd February, I thought I'd hold a little party!

Sian has informed me that the new shop website shinyshrimp.co.uk is live and I hear my face is all over it! I've even been super sneaky and added a 10% discount when you spend over £5 until midnight of the 18th Feb (GMT). You can find the link in our bio. The discount is available on the Shiny Shrimp website only, not Etsy.
