Becoming the Owner of: JADES
Hello, lovelies! I know it's been a little while since I've stopped by here. A couple months to be truthful. And it's not that it hasn't been hard, because it has.
I missed writing my blogs, my books, posting on my media and uploading to the Write Your Life Podcast. But I assure you, there is a BIG reason why.
I decided to start my very own business!
And rest assured, after launch day of the new business, I'll be able to schedule the right amount of hours for that and the blog, podcast, ect!
The business is called, Jades. After my middle name.
I have an Etsy account but wanted to go even further. And so, the ideas started flowing in!
I did my research, (read every blog post, listened to every podcast and YouTube video I could get my hands on.) And found that creating my own business was the way to go.
Now, you may be asking, what exactly is Jades going to be all about? And I'm so glad you asked!
I wanted to have the type of business that I would enjoy creating AND make a huge difference in this word! So that's what I did.
Jades will be all about bringing Luxury into your life, while helping others and the earth at the same time!
Let me explain. To start with, because you need money to make money. I thought it was logical to start with a few things and then grow in due time. Although, it was hard not too full on buy everything I had already envisioned for and build it all in one day. It sounds exciting but overwhelming and expensive.
The phrase, "Rome wasn't built in a day" came to mind.
I will have a line of 100% Soy Wax Melts, Unique Home Decor, and Fine Jewlery. All handmade! Later on, however, I will be adding Candles, Fragrances, Beauty, Skincare, Soap and more!
Helping the Homeless
With so many facing homelessness and the ones who are already on the streets, (in some places it's actually illegal to be seen sleeping on the streets. It seems to me if one can use that sort of power for that, then surly they could create a better law that helps those in need to get off the streets in the first place. There is certainly enough money in this world to do such good.)
There needs to be a better change in this world. Where people see human beings and not a problem to simply get rid of.
And so, for every purchase, 10% of every single order will be donated to a homeless shelter to help provide food, clothes, and other amenities that person may need.
Some places even help them to find jobs and their own place to stay!
Helping the Earth and You
I've seen WAY too many plastic packaging that seems unnecessary.
Now, just to be clear, I'm not throwing shade on any brand or organization that may use it. And in some cases, it can be hard to avoid it. Sadly, it's all around us. But we can change that. One Eco-Friendly Brand at a time!
I knew right away I didn't want to add to the increase of pollution and waste to our beautiful earth.
Sure, it's a little more expensive on my end and it dips into my profit margin a bit.
But if that is what it takes to create something that will help others and the earth so that we may all be and experience a healthy and happy life, then so be it.
I only wish that more companies will follow Suit.
Jades is proud to have Eco-Friendly packaging. From Cardboard boxes, plastic FREE Bubble wrap, Paper tape, Reusable Ribbon, and cute Paper bags.
(Later on, when the Candle line comes in, we will also provide Biodegradable Packing Peanuts that dissolve in water!!)
The Wax melts themselves will NOT be in any of those dime a dozen plastic, not so pleasing to the eye clam shells, that get thrown in the trash and add to plastic waste.
The Materials used are also, Eco-Friendly, Vegan, Cruelty Free and have Healthier benefits than a lot of other items on the market.
The 100% Soy wax is by Freedom Melt Wax.
No nasty paraffins and other chemicals will be used. and Beeswax will be added later on.
All of these materials have much better benefits to your health and the environment when it comes to candles or wax melts.
As for the Home Decor and Jewlery, they will also be packaged in Eco-Friendly materials AND we use only the best materials to create our items. To be sure they will last a long and lovely life in yours!
Once the business hits a certain mark, (in the money department) I'll be more than happy to announce that an additional 10% will be given to an Enviromental or Animal organization in helping the ones in need. I hope you look forward to that day as much as I do!
Launch Day!
Mark your calendars, because this Spring, on May 21st, (my birthday,) the business will be officially open!
There will be an official website, that will be up and ready to take emails, this month on April 26th! That way I can personally send you codes to get a 20% off your first purchase AND get the latest news on new lines, goodies, giveaways and much much, more! (Only the ones who sign up for the e-mail list get this exclusive offer!)
Not to mention, the week before the launch, there will be a super fun giveaway as well when joining the email website list, you can get items before anyone else!
I will be posting on my socials as well as a launch day post on here as well!
Luxury Brand
If you are further wondering why I would dare call this a luxury brand in the first place, then I'll put it sweet and simple.
When you think of the word "Luxury" what comes to your mind? I bet for the average person, it might be some overpriced item, that even though it's very lovely, it might not benefit more than one person and usually not the earth.
I want to fix that.
However, there are some people that think luxury is simply having a roof over your head, food in your stomach, and a couple sets of clothes on their back, clean running water to drink or bathe in. Because they may not have that currently.
There needs to be an in-between of these two.
With your help, I know that Jades will go far, to help make many of this come true for others who face homelessness.
To me, Luxury, is perceived differently by every individual on this earth.
Luxury should bring a feel of home to you, wherever you may be. It should comfort you when you need comforted. It should help you as well as others and be eco-friendly conscious. It should be cruelty free. It should be made with the best and clean ingredients. It should bring happiness.
And that's what we are doing.
Luxury is what we choose to bring into our lives to make us feel special, important, beautiful, ect.
So, let's make it that way for everyone. Because everyone deserves to have a clean and beautiful life.
Have an Idea?
What are some things you would like to see in the shop? Or even help in some way?
I would absolutely love to hear your ideas!!
For imagination and ideas can create and change anything as we please.
We are intelligent and capable beings and can make the world as we see fit.
And I truly believe it can be of out of goodness and love. Xx. -A
Currently: I have been super busy with getting the new biz ready, that it's been hard to return to my regular posts and such. But I will make sure to make the time to be back on every Tuesday again very soon!
Another thing is that over the last few months we we're getting ready to move to a different state, then we weren't. Then it was back on. Then we we're going somewhere completely different. And, oh, plans changed again... Needless to say, it was A LOT of packing and unpacking and packing once more. And so, it looks like we might move anytime between now and summertime. Depending on a few things.
Between everything, I was having a little trouble in finding the want to write or what even to write. But have found it and everything is good.
Sometimes bumps occur in one's path in life, not to discourage them, but to redirect them onto the right path for them. From time to time it can be hard to figure out which is the one for us, until the universe, or whoever wonderful being you believe in, is in charge, to help us along the way.
So, my beautiful friends, I hope you have a wonderful day and are on the right path of your life and dreams.
Until next time, Xx- A
