✨september round-up✨
This month was Burnout City, but I didn't even realize it until I was out the other side of it!!!!
I love all the clients and collabs I got to work with this month. But also, I didn't sleep enough.
I am the only decorator. I have help with mixing/cutting/baking, but keeping up with emails, DMs, socials, AND constantly icing cookies is all my job. And it's impossible to do that much unless you forego sleep. I had weeks where my combined weekday hours slept were barely equalling what you should get in a single full night 🫠 NOT good, I know.
I knew I was getting burnt out. And today I thought I'd do the math....
For September, we completed:
- over 103 dozen decorated cookies
- over 100 mini decorated cookies
- around 10 dozen drop cookies
- 2 large cookie cakes, and
- 24 mini cookie cakes
*A lot of the cookies were in my more detailed tiers as well
If you're a customer, this is why it's been impossible to get ahold of me, and why my emails have been laggy (don't worry, we're almost back to regular response times)
If you're a fellow cookie artist, DO NOT compare yourself to me. This is NOT my normal work schedule! I prefer a max of 15 dozen decorated cookies a week. And I did almost double that maximum 💀 This amount of cookies came with a cost, so never attempt insane workloads unless you can afford to go many days without proper sleep. - And if you do compare yourself to me, it should be in the sanity department, and you should feel amazing about yourself that you don't do as I do!
At the end of it all, I can at least sit back and say "dang, we really did that!". But I don't ever wanna do "that" again 🤘🏽 like, never everrrr.
Your girl is TIRED! She's still getting caught up on emails, photo/video editing, anddd sleep.
Cheers to more balance in October.
We worked hard. Now it's time to play hard!
