This week has basically only been spent with two of my funniest areas - customers and pictures :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rowing in the webshop<\/strong>
\nThis week is the week when I finally got to grips with the big project of tidying up the webshop properly!<\/p>\n

Our range has been updated quite a bit lately and I have not really kept up with the turns with the material around, which has made the whole thing a big project, instead of having maintained it continuously. And when things get big projects, it takes time before you have such a big gap that you can sit down and grab it all.<\/p>\n

As you know, I am a beauty writer on our website \/ webshop Creativemakeup.se<\/a> and if you click on Beauty Guides, you will find lots of posts with before and after pictures of how to use the products, make-up tips and step-by-step make-up made with the products we sell.<\/p>\n

And if you go into a product in the webshop, there are also links to beauty guides where that particular product is included.<\/p>\n

For example: If you go into the mineral foundation gloMinerals Pressed Base<\/a> in the webshop, I have done this nicely under the usual product description:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Detailed description of the shades - a film where you see application with this foundation and on the far right two products to supplement with which for this foundation is either a kabuki brush or buffed base brush.<\/p>\n

And just below this there are links to 3 beauty guides where I used this foundation:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sovereign huh? :)<\/p>\n

My sister Malin who works for me helps with a lot of basic things, but exactly how I want it, only I know (picky haha) so it will be a lot of work for me anyway.<\/p>\n

Men det som tagit mest tid \u00e4r att g\u00e5 igenom alla inl\u00e4gg som varit publicerade och antingen ta bort eller redigera dom som inte \u00e4r helt aktuella l\u00e4ngre. T.ex. “bassminkning f\u00f6r r\u00f6dflammig hy” varav tv\u00e5 av produkterna inte finns att k\u00f6pa mer, d\u00e5 tar jag bort hela inl\u00e4gget. Det var riktigt m\u00e5nga s\u00e5dana haha.<\/p>\n

Or as in the swatch image post with Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm, where Pixi has ended up with two of the shades that I had to cut out of the images and change images throughout the post:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

H\u00e4r laddar jag upp nya bilder. “Utvald bild” \u00e4r den som blir framsidan av inl\u00e4gget i fl\u00f6det sen.<\/p>\n

Same with gloMinerals lipstick pens that have both new and removed shades + changed packaging.<\/p>\n

But now all posts are updated anyway! :) I still have a lot to do in the webshop, but when you browse through the beauty guide posts, everything is ready! Wiho! And so from now on I will do all this immediately when we get changes in the range so that this problem does not come again.<\/p>\n

And a new front page for the beauty guides page I have redone too! The most common is to hold the arrow over the Beauty guides button in the menu and directly go into the right category, but if you click straight into the Beauty guide you will come to this page:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All posts are divided into three categories :)<\/p>\n

Or you can browse through all the posts by continuing to scroll down this page:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Doing things like this technically can look so much easier when you are on a website, but the appearance is deceptive, you may think, and sometimes you get stuck on things for a very long time. Especially when you are as stubborn as I am;)<\/p>\n

Work from home<\/strong>
\nDen h\u00e4r veckan k\u00e4nner jag verkligen att det \u00e4r tur att jag anpassar mitt jobb mycket sj\u00e4lv. Att kunna jobba hemifr\u00e5n, att kunna byta arbetsuppgift till n\u00e5gonting praktiskt n\u00e4r det \u00e4r sv\u00e5rt att koncentrera sig, och tv\u00e4rtom en stund bara grotta ner sig i jobb och “terapi-jobba” n\u00e4r man beh\u00f6ver sl\u00e4ppa vardagen en stund.<\/p>\n

It is namely that I had a really tough period at home now that 3 of my 4 wonderful cats have passed away in a very short time\u2026 It feels completely unreasonable unfair. Two of the cats now died within 4 days, one on Thursday last week and the other now on Monday. I've been completely devastated!<\/p>\n

So on Monday I worked from home while Miska was at the vet - and I still thought \/ hoped that it would end well.<\/p>\n

Then I could not work from home for several days even though I had actually planned it, because it really had not been possible to focus at home. Happy customers and colleagues mixed with being able to sit and cave down in front of the computer under a blanket in the office has been a perfect mix to make the days!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now we only have Viktoria left \u2665 Here we sit in front of the fire and work with pictures at home in the evening after work. IF she gets spoiled now haha, I'm used to spreading my love on 4 small hairballs and now she gets everything herself.<\/p>\n

Beauty is wellness<\/strong>
\nI veckan n\u00e4r jag beh\u00f6vde “terapi-jobba” s\u00e5 skrev jag ett l\u00e5ngt inl\u00e4gg om att sk\u00f6nhet \u00e4r friskv\u00e5rd! Ni kan l\u00e4sa inl\u00e4gget here<\/a><\/strong> if you missed it.<\/p>\n

Att skriva l\u00e5nga blogginl\u00e4gg tar l\u00e4ngre tid \u00e4n man kan tro, f\u00f6r mig i alla fall. Jag skriver ofta i omg\u00e5ngar f\u00f6r att f\u00e5 bort “ordblindheten” som kan uppst\u00e5, ibland \u00e4r det om\u00f6jligt att se om en mening make sense f\u00f6r den som inte varit inne i min hj\u00e4rna och l\u00e4st mina tankar innan haha. D\u00e5 m\u00e5ste man pausa och sen l\u00e4sa inl\u00e4gget n\u00e4r man typ gl\u00f6mt bort vad man skrivit och l\u00e4ser som en “ny l\u00e4sare” :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Image publishing & dropbox<\/strong>
\nI have edited many before and after pictures from the salon, which you saw in the picture in front of the fireplace where Nicla's beard and haircut customer was in the picture. The actual publication of our photos does not work in a particularly smooth way today, so we have figured out how to improve it and come up with a good layout! Love when you can streamline things :)<\/p>\n

At present, I get pictures from different places, some I bring into my computer myself from the camera in the makeup studio while some others have sent via text message or email. All these pictures in different places make me crazy soon haha but also gives you lots of extra work to have to keep track of everything.<\/p>\n

Men nu kommer snart alla l\u00e4gga in sina bilder i v\u00e5r delade mapp i dropbox, s\u00e5 jag kommer alltid ha alla p\u00e5 samma st\u00e4lle! Sen n\u00e4r jag valt ut bilder, klippt ihop som f\u00f6re- och efter s\u00e5 l\u00e4gger jag in dom i dropbox igen. Sen kommer mina kollegor att sk\u00f6ta publiceringen av dom! Det j\u00e4ttebra att dom kan hj\u00e4lpa till med det, dels f\u00f6r att spara tid f\u00f6r mig men ocks\u00e5 f\u00f6r att dom vet sj\u00e4lva vem som utf\u00f6rt behandlingen s\u00e5 att man kan skriva t.ex. “brynplock gjord av Olga” t.ex. S\u00e5 det blir mycket smidigare s\u00e5 :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I have also plucked the eyebrows of two guys and photographed it to market eyebrow plucking in connection with beard trimming and cutting. It makes such a big difference to pick your eyebrows at the same time!<\/p>\n

And our barber Niclas is really so crazy good I must add too, so picky about details that I did not even know existed haha, like the shape of the hair on the back of the head if you look at the profile and things that require expert eyes. I have looked a bit at the best light etc for Niclas to take pictures of his customers and then it is so important but the angle to include all these important details :) I have learned a lot now haha!<\/p>\n

Saturday job!<\/strong>
\nIt was a long time since I was at the salon on a Saturday, but yesterday we had so many bookings that I had to jump in too :) So four fully booked makeup artists we were at Creative Makeup yesterday and it was so much fun to put on make-up! It's always fun to put on make-up but it's even more fun now when you work some Saturdays now and then only, I have one Saturday in February and one in March. Before, when I worked every Saturday and always 6-day weeks, people did not enjoy the Saturdays as much as I do now.<\/p>\n

I took photos before and after of my client so it will be up in the blog sometime next week!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here we stand and put on make-up on a rolling belt! Olga, Lisa, \u00c4mma and so I on the far right who shows how my customer should cast the shadow to lift the gaze haha :)<\/p>\n

Now I'm going to grab some do to's here at home. We just got home from the swimming pool and have been fooling around with my sister's two children! Now I will burn up some heat here in the house, talk goja with dad tel, fix with wood and then wash my hair and have a relaxing moment in the bath.<\/p>\n

Have a continued fantastic Sunday fine you!<\/p>\n

Hugs are! \u2665<\/p>\n
