New Products

As you may know or not know, I own an online shop called Tapered Nomad.

I've have finally put up the fruits of my labor out into the world for customers to consume. Take a look at the quirky pillows I have created. We have prints and patterns of all kinds to florals, stripes, animal, plaids, more stripes to satisfy every sad couch's dream of being a little more comfy with a little more fun.

Gotta keep trying.

Well...........FUCK

I said I was going to do this. I said I was going do that. I gave myself one goal and I've already fucked up but hey its ok. If you read the last post then you know what this goal was. This is the problem with me, I get a huge boost in motivation and do the thing I've been putting off for a while to an extreme quickly depleting my drive for it. Then I just suddenly stop. Hoping that writing this will bring back whatever is inside me to get back and moving on this blog.

Taking a challenge.

Today I am taking on the challenge of writing at least one blog post a day.

I haven't done something consistent in my life since graduating from college. Its time to get myself back on a rhythm and groove.

Interview with Lululemon

I don't know if you've heard of Lululemon but here is how my interview experience went.

Of course I'm always fifteen minutes early to everything and wasn't different this time. I wait inside the store checking out the extremely expensive clothing on display that I love so much. We meet a key leader of the store Kelly and each of us grabs a yoga mat proceeding out into the parking lot of the store. Sitting in a circle we start out with introducing ourselves (name, where are you from, and favorite way to sweat). So the group interview process begins, oh yeah this was a group interview. we do an "icebreaker" where we pull a slip of paper out of a bag and on each slip is something that we have to teach to the whole group even if its something know knowledge of the task. I pulled "how to read a palm". I BS'ed my whole tutorial and they bought it until I told them I had no idea what I was doing. Then we got into the "serious questions". For some reason the question did not resonate as well as I thought making the production of an answer extremely difficult plus hearing everyone else's answers made me forget what I was going to say. The other interviewees were definitely on point and I think they were better candidates for the job than me. Overall this group interview was interesting and a good experience.

Renewing an Idea

GREAT NEWS!!!

I have started my own shop. Its a little daunting especially when I thought of this idea two years ago in my entrepreneurship class in college. The project was to make a "backup plan" or a way to make a little change other than our thriving careers as an artist. I thought of the idea of selling curated vintage clothing items on the internet with the addition of Pinterest inspired products. These products are pillow cases converted from old thrifted button ups which were surprisingly a hit when I made a few for fun. I have always had the idea of pursuing this business also undertake same name as this blog Tapered Nomad.

So what's Tapered Nomad you may ask?

I guess now its a brand that I have made for myself. The store is for right now still a working progress but eventually I see it growing faster than expected. Everything is in my hands. I make the product, I photograph the product, I advertise the product, I am my own social media manager, I am the store manager, I am my own boss, and I am the owner. I am doing a lot of shit to make this business a success. Its a lot of responsibility and I am taking on the challenge.

I have some wonderful pillows on sale in my store as you read this post. Its gonna be a wild ride through this new endeavor in my life. Check out the store by clicking the link "store" at the top of the blog.
