More than a blow

Was feeling lazy last evening and asked Mr. Jang if he could please help me blow dry my hair before I sleep. I suddenly missed those days in my childhood where grandma would do that for us.

And I was thinking it'd be fun getting the hubs to do it. Like, "Welcome to my world where make-up, hair dryer and manicure is a matter of life and death!"

I demonstrated the right way to use the hair dryer, but half-expected him to get my hair all tangled up, or give up halfway. He didn't. In fact, he got all serious and did a good job on the first try. Hair is nice, soft and smooth.


But the end result is not important. What I want to say is that, while I sat there hugging my knees and waiting for him to be done, I thought "give me all the branded bags, new gadgets, exotic vacations or expensive dinners in the world, but I wouldn't exchange it for this experience!" 

I have a husband who doesn't mind blow drying my hair (or doing the laundry or washing the dishes or... the list goes on). More importantly, he does all this with a cheerful heart. 

I think I'm really blessed.

3rd month promotion

So I have received more favourites since the 2nd month promotion. But I couldn't send the coupon codes via Etsy convo without the other party starting one first (it's part of the rules). So that's no good. Big learning point for me!

On the plus side, someone from Spain asked if I could trade Autumn in my Heart for photography services, or top up cash for other items she had. But I declined after thinking long and hard about it. I didn't want to fork out cash for her items; neither does she. That's how trading works! But it's still a compliment nonetheless.

And I had milestone - received a peak of 117 views in a day. It's definitely a yay! ^ ^

So I'm into my third month now, and decided to do a more direct holidays promo. Expanding to free international shipping as well since I know there are overseas buyers!

From my Etsy shop:

"Happy Holidays PROMO!! Receive FREE shipping with your purchase from now till 30 Nov.

For US: Please enter code 'OCT13SHIP' - no minimum purchase is required.

For other countries: Please enter code 'OCT13SHIP2INT' - minimum purchase of $20 is required. 

It's the season to be jolly! Happy shopping!"

Let's see how this will go... woohoo!
