Hi there, fancy seeing you here... I thought I already said my goodbyes.

This feels like my first day at a new job, or when you have to confront someone or a situation. This feels like it, well at least for me because confrontations are definitely not my thing and it leaves my mouth dry like sand.

If you have known us long enough you know that in the beginning Magique Supplies was Magique Beauty, and after that so many other Magiques came and went. We have had to shape shift into million things to remain relevant in this ever growing industry.

Like many other entrepreneurs will tell you, this comes with its own territories and to survive in this fierce jungle, you must remain on your toes and always evolve. Evolving is not easy, many businesses have remained behind because they could not adapt to the changes in their respective industries.

Social Media for one, has changed the world of marketing as you know it. Tik Tok, Instagram and Facebook has been dominating the digital marketing space making it 10 times harder for a small business owner with authentic products to survive unless you jump on to the current trends. Not to say we do not appreciate the growth of social media because we really do, we have met the most amazing clients through Facebook but it takes it toll on a small business owner with limited resources.

When I bid farewell last year, I was in a very dark place in my life. Magique starting to feel like a chore and I was not enjoying it anymore because I was not ripping the rewards from it. I started to resent it because I started asking myself questions like, if this is truly my calling then why are things not currently going well. It broke my spirit and eventually I stopped operating and decided to take the decision to let go.

The DMs kept coming, inquiries here and there, calls and even leads from the website and each time I would pretend to not notice them but deep in my heart I could hear, a loud and sad voice of my baby weeping for my attention again, my soul longed for something to awaken my spirit.

So when the opportunity came to go back to Magique, emotionally I was not ready and I knew I would never be ready but I had to do it. I was scared and I am still scared because to constantly remind yourself that you need to operate from a place of content and not because we all need money is not easy because this economy has been nothing but horrendous.

For me, this is not about nail supplies or clients but there is fulfillment that I cannot explain. Whenever I touch someone's hands, its beyond just a set, it's serving what I have been called to do.

I cannot guarantee that I will receive the same support I did before, I can only request that grace is extended to me for all the clients I have failed as I make my way back.

Iam excited about coming back here, to write these blog posts for me and hope whoever comes across it can gather the strength to go on.

Magique Supplies has currently restocked on everything, so please check our page on Facebook and Instagram for more details. I will try my best to update all the sites including here so it is easier to access.

I love you so much!

Till next time..

xoxo
