This is a day in the life of a 19 year old given 365 days to prove to his parents he's not a disappointment after he decided to turn down university to instead take his business from six to seven figures. But there's only one place that we travel to every single morning, but this time it's slightly different. Yes your eyes haven't deceived you, that's a bin bag worth of parcels to the post office. I think they hate to see me coming now. And to be honest, I felt very proud for a business that we started three months ago. It was a great feeling. We might have only posted two sales a day before, but we focus on the positive. Well in more scary news, we have 350 pieces of clothing arriving to my house next week. Oh my credit card bill this month is looking beefy. Well with that being said, I thought it might be the perfect time to redesign this photo table because I've been meaning to do it for ages. We did once full for the generic grey background propaganda, but I promise you the photos look terrible with it. It did kind of feel like I was ripping away part of my soul because I know how much of a headache this was to put up originally. And yes, we are using a Costco membership card to squeeze the air bubbles out. At least I'm using it for something. This video doesn't do it justice how satisfying this is. Oh my. Well until my brick for brains decided it'd be a great idea not to order enough wallpaper. Aw. I was fully stumped here. I thought my measurements were 100% correct. Well in more scary news, we have 350 pieces of clothing arriving to my house next week. What a world we live in. I can't lie, this was way too stressful to put up again, but just look, it looks lovely. Come on.
