Insider's Discount!
After I get paid today (Oh, how I love working again!), I'll be ordering my next shipment of materials tomorrow. It won't be much longer at all until Vexxy hits the shelves!
As a special thank you for putting up with the wait, I'll be offering a 10% discount coupon to all of my Backstage Pass followers! But you must be following the blog to get the 10% off! I may decide to offer a 5% discount to Facebook and Twitter followers, but that's undecided.
This discount will not last long so start following NOW to take full advantage!
Stay tuned and I will announce the discount code (which must be accompanied by your blog name at time of sale) with the soft opening date. ;)

Five Cubed
I just wanted to make a quick post because I can't contain my excitement. :)
Vexxy will be cracking the doors open very soon. After finally being back at work for a few weeks, I've come across a little extra cash to do a sampling of some pigments. The current plan is to post up five colors in five gram jars for five bucks each on Etsy. I was originally wanting to start with something bigger, but I've decided that I simply cannot wait any longer!
As each bit sells, I'll be able to offer more and more of the starting line I originally had my heart set on. I think this is a wonderful compromise. Starting a business is all about flexibility, you know. Keep your eyes peeled and I'll be announcing the official date soon!

What's the Hold Up??
I already have my plan of attack; I've been ready for months- So what's taking so long for this grand opening???
Money, naturally. Vexxy is a one-woman show, and I want to keep it that way, even financially. I don't need investors or a loan; I just need a little more time to raise some capital on my own. I was set to go a few months back, but I got sick and had to leave work. Everything I had saved up then went to medical bills (by the way, my new least favorite word is "deductible") and basic living expenses. Now I'm back to square one, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I'm back at work, and even got a second job to boot. I wish I could say this means I could stock up on materials with my next check, but the truth is that it's going to take me a while to get back on my feet. I should be back on my old budgeting routine in a few weeks, but then I also have some medical bills to pay off as well. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a soft opening in two to three months, but I just can't make any promises. Since I've eaten up all my savings, another medical emergency or car troubles or a number of things could set me back again.
However, there is a reason they say that good things come to those who wait. This is my passion, and nothing will stop me from realizing my dream. When life gives you lemons, you throw them right back and tell life to suck it. People will tell you stay positive when you're troubled, but I disagree. I say you have to stay fierce. An insurance company can't take away your brass knuckles. So I can't open Vexxy's doors just yet; it will be all that much more badass when I do.
