Hi from my desk!! 👩🏼‍💻 Currently waitin

Hi from my desk!! 👩🏼‍💻 Currently waiting for my YouTube video to upload but my internet is slow so it takes ages. Today I felt inspired to remind you that every day does not have to be “incredible” or “exceptional” for it to be a very good day. A lot of good days can be better than a few great days with a bunch of not-good days in between.
I’m currently in a season of a LOT of unknowns. I stepped away from grad school & a seemingly very secure career path to chase my “too-big” dreams and live more true to myself. Unknown doesn’t have to be bad. Change doesn’t have to be bad. The more you can live flexibly every day, the more you will be ready for the next thing, unexpected or not.
My current mantra: do the next right thing. In the next minute, hour, day... what is my next right thing?
I was also very inspired by my gal @brightestofthebunch when she said that consistent/daily ‘good’ content or ‘good’ work is often better than forced or inconsistent ‘perfect’ work or perfect content. Perfect isn’t possible. She was talking more about social media content but the idea really stuck with me.
Today doesn’t have to be ‘perfect’ to be good.
Okay there’s some Kristen-thoughts for your Wednesday. I truly hope you can find some good in today! 🌈
As silly as it sounds, I needed a little extra empowerment today & putting on my Milena merch was that little boost I needed to remind myself to make it a good day. ⭐️

Working from home can be fun!☕️
Especially with coffee or tea in hand and uh.... no more law school textbooks to worry about. If you didn’t see my latest YouTube video, I talked about changing my career path & leaving law school. I’m now pursuing my blog, YouTube, & Etsy full time!🍋 And not a day goes by where I even remotely regret my decision.
I’m posting new videos every Friday, & today’s video just posted: 7 Reasons Why You Need a Website for Your Online Business!
My YouTube channel is ‘Kristen Shane’💗 hope you are having a lovely start to your weekend!

This week’s video is live on YouTube! Sharing tips on what to do when Etsy sales are slow. It can discouraging as a small business owner to go through phases when sales drop drastically, but all hope is not lost (even though it feels like it sometimes). Making this video helped me remind me how to handle the slower business seasons as well! Hope you like it 🌻

Friendly reminder that social media isn’t reality.
I’ve spent a lot less time on social media & Instagram particularly this year, which is for the best. I don’t know how I want to use this account in the future, but I hope to keep bringing you encouragement & good ol’ reality. (And more updates alongside my YouTube channel!) Here’s to living for the moment, not for the photo, and remembering that life doesn’t have to be “aesthetic” to be way better than good.
Hope you’re stay safe & well 🌸 xo

This week I passed 1,000 orders on my Etsy shop @lemonlilyco , and I could not be more thankful or more excited. This little business is truly a dream come true. And I can honestly say I wasn’t sure if this day would ever come. Truly thankful for every single person who has supported my shop so far! ♡
And these balloons will be hanging in my room for the foreseeable future because they are just too pretty 😂

Hope everyone is doing alright 🌼 No new photos

No new photos here & haven’t worn makeup or real clothes in what feels like months! Summer law classes haven’t already started and I’m just hoping things start looking up soon! Thinking about y’all & hoping your fams are well too 💗

Happy Easter!🌼 I hope you have a lovely day full of family, thankfulness, & rest! Definitely a different Easter staying at home this year, but there is still so much to be thankful for & to celebrate! 💛

All dressed up for my first oral argument in front of the (virtual) court!⚖️
I didn’t have to wear heels to present from my computer at my kitchen table, but took some inspo from @theclassyacademic being a total boss-babe wearing heels & a fancy outfit to defend her PhD dissertation online from home too(!!!)! My presentation wasn’t nearly as cool as hers, but I definitely felt more confident doing it in a power outfit 🙌🏻 dress for the job you want, right?!

Here are a few extra little reminders 🌻
This time is tough, but it’s not all bad. Friendly reminder to support your people & support yourself too! And I think now is a great opportunity to do something you’ve been meaning to do but “haven’t had time”.... like finally cleaning out your closet, starting a new hobby, exercising more, or finally reading that new book ♡ I’ll be here crocheting blankets & waiting for my Nintendo switch to arrive in my free time!

The theme of the next few weeks is posting throwback pictures, staying positive, & getting outside 🌼
Things are still hectic & plans are changing every day.... but please take a few moments each day to count your blessings & be grateful for the position you’re in. There is meaning for every single season & we are absolutely all in this together ♡
