Pop-up shop sellout flipped my script on handmade jewelry sales
I used to craft beaded bracelets purely for stress relief, never imagining they could generate cash. My assumption was that handmade accessories had no real market appeal. Then a buddy asked me to join her weekend pop-up event, and everything vanished in under three hours. Seeing customers eagerly buy my creations completely overturned my previous doubts. Currently, I'm drafting plans to launch a dedicated online store for this newfound venture.

I mean, stress relief turning into a side hustle is a pretty good problem to have.

Yeah but it's also a symptom of late-stage capitalism where every single personal hobby or coping mechanism has to be monetized to be considered valid. We've completely lost the plot when even our stress relief needs to be optimized for productivity and turned into a grind. It's just exhausting, and it makes it harder to just enjoy something without the pressure of it becoming another job, lol.
