When you come across an item that says HANDMADE… (by the poster) I dont care if it’s depop, Etsy, eBay or the street corner. You dont send an offer…. more than $3-5 under what they’re asking. If even that. Anything more is a complete insult to the creator. You are paying for attention, effort, and quality that you will never find on SHEIN or temu or Amazon or any of these corporations that mainly profit off of ripping off smaller creators and businesses. If you want to pay SHEIN prices, buy SHEIN. But do not demand those prices from small handmade creators that are putting in 100% more effort to make your item and your order as faultless as possible, and including some freebies while they’re at it. I am so sick of getting lowball offers on my handmade necklaces that are already priced at a point where I don’t make that much profit. And I’m sick of being made to feel like I’m rude for declining them. Even when you state “price firm” in your bio or description people still send offers. Be more conscious of what you are sending offers for. If you can’t afford a handmade item, look somewhere else.

So I don’t DIY the rest of my skincare but I have rose water for other things and I want to start spraying it on my face before moisturizing. I have store bought (culinary grade, just roses and water) I don’t want to have to walk to the fridge every time so I want to preserve it. Google says I can use vodka (1 teaspoon to 2 cups water) but I can’t find anything on here about using alcohol.. is it a suitable preservative or will it dry my skin out? I don’t rly see myself buying another fancier preservative or anything. Maybe if it’s cheap.. but yeah any help is much appreciated x

I had no idea how much my shipping prices were at lately since I do calculated shipping, but I just checked my shop and it says $8 shipping on items that have a package weight of 3 oz… why is it that high?? I buy my own shipping for my depop orders and it’s always around $5-6.

I’m sorry if there’s been posts about this but from scrolling for a bit I couldn’t find any.. I’ve had my (current) Pinterest account for a couple years now. I’ve pinned 10k+ posts and sometimes I post my own handmade jewelry + aesthetic pics that I think might do well.. I’ve been on social media since I was 9 and I consider myself to have good taste and I know the chainmail jewelry pics I’ve posted could get a lot more likes but I haven’t had literally any motion… no followers no likes or anything. I use hashtags too.. On my old account I had 20k+ followers from just my re-pins over the years. I feel like invisible on this account and idk if that’s normal or what or what I’m doing wrong :/

I’m planning to do my first real banishing ritual. This might be a dumb question but are you supposed to memorize all of the instructions in your head before you perform it for it to work? I feel like I’ll need to keep looking down at my phone to see what to do next. Will that interfere with the efficacy? I feel like I’ll never be able to memorize everything for the first try… any help is much appreciated x
