Halifax Cookie Cravings

05/14/2018

Hiya! Sorry for disappearing for so long. I've been meaning to post something here for quite a while but each time I sat down to do it, I just stared at my keyboard. So, here we goooo with another life update!

I started working full-time at The Old Apothecary!! After renting their kitchen space for the past few years, joining their team was an easy decision. I love it there & feel right at home. 😍 Everyone is so awesome and FUN to work with! And, uhhh... the FOOD?! Come onnnn. It's so fu***ng good!! Trust me, I snack on it everyday... it's become a bit of a prob (help!). 😅

Because of this, I've decided to take a break from cookies for the summer... my head and my heart just aren't in it right now and haven't been for a while. I need a break. I'll see where I'm at by the end of the summer. Right now, I'm really happy learning to bake a bunch of new things so I'm gonna ride this wave and see where it takes me! ^_^ I'll still be supplying World Tea House with cookies, just not doing deliveries. But, ya know, if you find yourself in DIRE need of cookies, shoot me a message and you can pick up from me at the bakery. ;)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING AMAZING CUSTOMERS!!!

Hi everyone! Life update time! Bonus points if you make it to the end. 😆

I’ve been a pretty terrible biz person the past several months and have totally failed at keeping up with the “social media” thing. I want to be open and honest (screw all this “perfect looking life” s**t) soooo incoming rambling sesh!

I’ve mentioned it previously, but I’ve been struggling with the loss of a very dear friend of mine. We grew up together and were best friends for 20 years (since 4th grade). She died at the beginning of September (very suddenly, I was completely shocked) and ever since then I’ve just felt like things don’t matter anymore, that life isn’t what I thought it would be. It broke me. I didn’t care about my business anymore and just felt completely lost. Christmas was especially difficult to get through… being so busy while everyday my brain was screaming “I hate this, I hate this, I hate this!!!”. I miss her everyday & my heart aches everyday. I’m sure most, if not ALL, of you can relate somehow… loss is something that every single one of us will have to deal with throughout our lives. So, why not talk about it openly? I decided that I wanted to honour her memory by getting a tattoo - my first one! I was never sure if I wanted one but when she died I KNEW I had to get one. I wanted to be able to look down at my arm and be reminded of her everyday, for the rest of my life. I have this fear that I will “forget” her, even though I know I NEVER could. The text is a line from one of the poems she wrote. She always blew me away with her poems… she had a way with words, that’s for sure.

ANYWAY, after the Christmas insanity, I decided to take a lengthy vacay and just last night found myself in brainstorm land, whilst lounging on the couch at 2am, haha! I’ve decided that I’m going to make some changes to my biz… I feel stagnant and need a lil’ change to get that “spark” back. Nothing TOO crazy, just smaller things that will make me happier. Today, I’ve been buzzing with ideas and have felt excited for the first time in a long time. I’m keeping my mouth shut for now but will let you all know soon enough (gotta kick my own ass and get s**t done, haha). Also, if I disappear again (can't really predict these rollercoaster of emotion periods, haha) you'll know why and that I WILL be back. 😍

That’s all for now! I will be updating my website soon with some special V-day cookies! Much love to you all, and a heartfelt THANK YOU for being SO supportive and KIND!!! In the end, love is all that truly matters. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

*BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK DONE BY HELENA DARLING!! SHE'S THE BEST!*

F**k yea! I FINALLY got my pumpkin + earl grey buttercream cookies back up on my website. 🎃I know, I know... it's super late - sorry 'bout that! I'll be makin' 'em until xmas though (shudder... don't even want to think about that right meow, haha😬)!! Check it: http://halifaxcookiecravings.com/portfolio/pumpkin-earl-grey-buttercream/

Sidenote: I may not look like a person who swears a lot, haha, but I do! I've always felt kinda iffy about saying "f**k" on my biz page, but I like to type as though I'm talking to a friend out in the world. Keepin' it reeeaaalll, ya'll!! bahaha I don't even know what I'm saying. Probably need sleep. 🙃

Hi! Hello! Nope, I'm not dead. 😅 If you read my post from a while back on Instagram, you'll know why I've been absent on the whole social media thing (If you haven't, I've posted a screenshot in the comments 'cause I really don't want to type it out again, haha). I'm still struggling with it but today is the first day that I've actually felt like sharing something again! So, I present to you... MAH FACE! Oh, and this beeeeautiful mug made by Toni Losey 😍☕️. Sometimes acquiring a new, beautiful item puts such a spring in my step (which I've desperately needed, ugh)! Anywho... I'm just tryin' to get back into the groove of everyday life. 👋🏻🤷🏻‍♀️

Pretty lil' package of birthday cookies that I shipped off last week!! 💌🍪🎉

Sidenote: I'm really bad at regularly posting cookie stuff on social media. I can maintain it for a little while but then I drop off for a week or two. I think my brain just needs a break once in a while... too much stimulation?! 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️This applies to pretty much everything else in my life, haha. I need lots of mental breaks, apparently. Anyone else?? 🤦🏻‍♀️

WOWZERS! Didn't realize that people would even think about me for this! Thanks!! If ya feel like it, you can vote for me, but these are all amazing picks... no pressure! 🍪🎉💕 http://thecoast.secondstreetapp.com/l/Best-of-Halifax-2017/Ballot/Foodmenuitems

Also: I would like to say that I think cookies, cupcakes and doughnuts are all beautiful in their own way and totally deserve individual categories. 😩 😜😏
