Consistency is so hard.

Hi everybody! Hope you are doing great. I have to admit that I struggled a bit with this post.  One of the reasons for starting this blog is to improve some of the skills that I know will help me grow, but I still don't have. Consistency is one of them, so here I am.  I aim to upload a new item to my shop each week and share a new post here. Last week I added a new listing to my shop but the week before I couldn't make it.  I was also caught up doing my taxes, which I totally underestimated and I am still working onπŸ˜“πŸ˜…. OMG!

Even if I love my job, it is a competitive industry, and I have been feeling a lot of pressure lately to produce better work. That was draining my c...
