I love my Juice Box d4 necklace. I wear it often and get many compliments.

I’m also an indie creator, and I know exactly how difficult this grind is. I’m glad you’re recognizing your limits and caring for yourself! Be well.

We had many highs and also some lowest of lows. It was also the most physically demanding year yet. I thought I was doing the same amount of work as before or maybe even less, but the state of my physical and mental health is not what it used to be. 2/

Maybe it’s just a result of hunching over a desk for too long and overusing my joints 😅. Or maybe it’s the uncertainty of the future and overall declining state of the world. Either way, it’s safe to say that I am a bit overwhelmed.
This made me question how I can continue doing this long-term. 3/

The answer is: I can’t. At least not in the way that I’ve been doing so far. It’s sad to say but I need to let some things go. I have decided to stop making all candles and scent based products. In an ideal world, I’d continue making everything I want. 4/

But I have to accept that there are limits to my time, energy, and ability.
As for dice and jewelry, a clear out also seems necessary. I won’t stop making them but I would like to make room for some new things in the future. Starting March 3, everything will be discounted 40%. 5/

I want to say something very important. Last year may have been difficult but it was one of the most fulfilling year yet. I met so many awesome artists and creators and got to attend spectacular events/markets. I also got to meet people who have known me since the beginning of Juice Box. 6/

I have always been immensely grateful and amazed by your support but seeing it manifest in real life hit me like ton of bricks (in a good way). I’m not sure if words are ever enough to fully capture my gratitude towards the maker community and supporters. 7/
