TGIF

Happy Friday!

A little shop(s) update before I dive into this week’s link love. I have decide to stop adding new listings for anything besides digital prints into my Etsy shop. I’m going to focus on Zazzle for apparel and anything else solid. What’s already listed on Etsy I’ll essentially let expire without renewing listings.

I’ve just had too many problems with my lack of control over Printify, the drop shipping company I have integrated into my Etsy shop. I can offer volume discounts on Zazzle because I’m not paying for the shirt or whatever to be made. Zazzle has better, more products available and their customer service is phenomenal. My issue is that Etsy has a wider market base, so I’ll keep doing my digital prints there and hopefully funnel some of that business into my Zazzle, especially for custom orders. (I’ve already sold a custom maternity tee!)

For a full comparison of Etsy vs Zazzle, check out this post.

What I bought & what I want

Honestly, I didn’t buy a thing that wasn’t an essential and super boring. (Hi, new socks because I’ve had to throw out three pairs in the past month.) We also did a Brandless stock-up. I have to say, my hair has felt especially soft since I started using their conditioner.

Since Warped Tour, I’ve been really into tie dye. Sad this pullover only comes in XS.

Don’t forget you can always peek at my wish list over in my sidebar. Here’s what I’m currently craving:

Around the internet

With Kendall working a lot of late nights, I’ve basically just been cooking healthy meals for two and packing his up in our handy meal prep containers for him for the next day. One recipe I tried this week that I LOVE is Pasta with Kale and Turkey Sausage. I modified it with more kale and less sausage but essentially it’s a 3 ingredient dinner that tastes amazing. via Beach Body On Demand

I normally don’t fall for trends loved by the Kardashian clan, but the whole “Dad Sneaker” thing is an exception. My own pair will be coming to the blog next week. via The Trendy Tomboy

I get teased about being high maintenance, and I don’t feel like compared to most that I truly am. But when can high maintenance be a good thing?  via The Everygirl
