Where have we been? What have we been up to? What's up? Lots of people have been wanting an update since we got back from the states and we've been pretty dark, and we apologize.
2024 was really, really rough for us, and like right out of the gate. From 2 months of pneumonia, to the sudden passing of our Lola, to the cancer diagnosis of our mother it's been a hot minute.
In the states we barely broke even, and that's being incredibly generous. Through the extreme kindness of my friends and partner, we were even able to go to the states for this convention. We made the decision to ship our product back to Canada through UPS after the convention, which was a long process as we were there during Remembrance Day weekend and needed to Uber everywhere. Then we tried to enjoy our last few days in the states before heading home. Then the Postal strike happened, then we were being charged customs fees on our own property, and it became crisis after crisis once again.
Christmas has come and gone, and I have felt like I've been going through the motions of the yule tide time while worrying about what will come next, and what is waiting for me in the near future.
For most of this year, due to the overwhelming failures of the market season I considered shuttering up. We had a good run, maybe our time has come. But as I like to say, "we pivot and we persevere". So we are hoping after a short break to recollect ourselves and offer ourselves time to be kind, we will snap back. We have been brainstorming new products to launch and we are hoping that as we evolve you will be here to experience it with us.
π₯ So good-bye 2024, good fu***ng riddance. And here's to a better new year.
