The last Sunday in July is today! Isn't it completely crazy as time goes on?<\/p>\n

Free Helena loves summer and enjoys every bright moment! Entrepreneur-Helena, however, is starting to look forward to autumn, which always feels like New Year to me, then you avoid all I-am-on-holiday-auto-replies to emails and all routines are back to normal.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, I have just worked a 6-day week at the salon and now the rain is pouring down while I drink my morning coffee in the kitchen. I just took a shower and looked at the flashes outside the bathroom window, so cozy! :)<\/p>\n

Presentation to producers<\/strong>
\nJag har ju lovat att jag ska h\u00e5lla er uppdaterade under hela v\u00e5r “g\u00f6ra-ett-eget-sminkm\u00e4rke-resa” :) I veckan har jag b\u00f6rjat s\u00e4tta ihop en presentation som vi kan maila till producenter och sen ocks\u00e5 till investerare! Jag b\u00f6rjar g\u00f6ra den p\u00e5 svenska s\u00e5 kommer vi g\u00f6ra en till p\u00e5 engelska sen.<\/p>\n

Vi har ju ett koncept som inte g\u00e5r under “standardmallen” och vad som \u00e4r m\u00f6jligt att g\u00f6ra i tillverkning har ju vi ingen aning om. S\u00e5 det blir en ond cirkel: vi m\u00e5ste ha hela planen s\u00e5 f\u00e4rdig som m\u00f6jligt f\u00f6r att producenten ska vilja samarbeta med oss – samtidigt som vi inte kan g\u00f6ra hela planen f\u00e4rdig f\u00f6rr\u00e4n vi pratat med producenten om vad som \u00e4r m\u00f6jligt haha.<\/p>\n

But I do research as a little detective and try to think as smart as possible!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jag h\u00e5ller \u00e4ven p\u00e5 med en “swot-analys” d\u00e4r man listar alla v\u00e5ra styrkor, svagheter, m\u00f6jligheter och hot. Den \u00e4r inte f\u00e4rdig \u00e4n men det \u00e4r mest punkter under styrkor faktiskt, och det \u00e4r ju bra ;)<\/p>\n

Then there are a lot of details that can put sticks in the wheel as well as I list under weaknesses and threats - as long as you are aware of them, they are not necessarily deal breakers but they are even more important to think about!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

En sneak peek p\u00e5 vad v\u00e5rt varum\u00e4rke ska heta ser ni h\u00e4r ;) Fast det \u00e4r mest ett “working name” eller vad man s\u00e4ger, vi har k\u00f6pt upp dom\u00e4nnamnet ifall att men det \u00e4r inte ristat i sten att det blir just det namnet.<\/p>\n

So much fun to finally get started with this for real!<\/p>\n

The heat wave continues<\/strong>
\nAs I wrote in the last business week post, we have sauna heating in the salon, then I jump into a hot car without AC and then it is super hot at home in the house as well. Pjuh, you get really tired of not getting a break from the heat!<\/p>\n

So one day when I had a lot of work to catch up on when I got home, I half filled the bathtub with cool water, put the computer on a chair next to the bathtub edge and worked in the cool bath haha.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I got so sore in the ass in the end and had to sit on a towel in the water haha.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We also fixed blinds in the kitchen as heat protection when the sun shines in (best!) And on the floor it blew nicely when you opened the window, so it was my second working place in the house.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not quite comfortable there either, after a while I had to stock up with some pillows. Poor little asshole :)<\/p>\n

Glitter, glitter, glitter!<\/strong>
\nYou who read my blog regularly may not have missed our news Mood Wood Natural Glitter<\/a>\u00a0as I have been bombarding you with lately!<\/p>\n

This week I have published it in the webshop, photographed all the shades, photographed the tutorial, made beauty guides on the website, posted on social media and photographed and filmed for insta story.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ni vet hur det k\u00e4nns efter att man h\u00e5llit p\u00e5 med glitter? Man har glitter precis \u00f6verallt! Jag blev arbetsskadad till slut s\u00e5 \u00e4ven de dagar jag bara fixade med bilderna och inte ens r\u00f6rde glittret s\u00e5 hade jag k\u00e4nslan av “glitterfingrar” haha.<\/p>\n

Why do I feel good?<\/strong>
\nI veckan sa en person till mig “man kan faktiskt inte veta\u00a0anything<\/em> om vad stress \u00e4r om man inte har barn”. Jag sa ingenting om det d\u00e5 men jag har t\u00e4nkt lite p\u00e5 det d\u00e4r.. Min f\u00f6rsta tanke var s\u00e5klart “testa starta ett f\u00f6retag med anst\u00e4llda du ocks\u00e5 s\u00e5 ska du f\u00e5 se p\u00e5 stress” haha.<\/p>\n

I'm fully aware that I do not know what it's like to have children so I say nothing about it :) That was not what I was going to talk about. But what happened was that it made me start thinking why<\/em> I feel good. Is it because I do not have children or do not live a stressful life? No, the reason I feel good is not because I was lucky or because my life has slipped on a prawn sandwich. I feel good because I do jobs<\/em> to feel good!<\/p>\n

I nurture my relationships that mean something and put no energy on those who do not deserve it, negativity and drama create such inner stress for me! I can forget my cell phone out in the car for 2 hours when I get home without even noticing it. If we were to compare my personal finances with everyone I know, I would be the one who had it the worst in the last 6 years - but thanks to the fact that I am good at saving and living on some money, I have still escaped the enormous internal stress that financial problems can give. And above all, I get to grips with things right away if I'm not happy with the situation. Postponing things is really a source of inner stress!<\/p>\n

In the last 2 years, my company has grown to 7 employees and a staff cost of over 2 million per year. My mother passed away in a terrible way for us and in return I lost contact with two family members. At the same time as we just made our biggest staff investment, the number of bookings really dipped (not even Annika had had such a low autumn since she started with permanent makeup) and we really calculated how many months it could continue at that level before everything goes to the forest completely. In the midst of all this, I sat in conversation with estate records and struggled with my last strength to be able to keep our childhood home.<\/p>\n

It is not because of luck that I stayed above the water surface, so to speak.<\/p>\n

I'm not saying that it's easy to feel good, but regardless from where<\/em> din stress kommer s\u00e5 tror jag att man m\u00e5ste jobba p\u00e5 att m\u00e5 bra och vad det “jobbet” best\u00e5r av \u00e4r olika f\u00f6r olika personer. S\u00e5 det blir i s\u00e5dana fall f\u00f6rsta saken att analysera: vad skulle du beh\u00f6va ha mer\/mindre av f\u00f6r att m\u00e5 b\u00e4ttre? Allt fr\u00e5n sm\u00e5saker som kryddar tillvaron till st\u00f6rre saker som att \u00e4ndra sin livssituation f\u00f6r att f\u00e5 mer fritid, ekonomi, trygghet, trivsel m.m. Och ta tag i alla dom sakerna!<\/p>\n

I do not know about something I just wrote make sense hehe or if it was even a bit inspiring? :) I sit with my cat Viktoria in my arms, the first cup of coffee has just kicked in and the rain is pounding on the windows = a Helena in a writing mood! It clatters as much on the keyboard as on the windows;)<\/p>\n

Mys Sunday \u2665 The painting is painted by Miska! He also sells paintings if any of you are hungry - check out his instagram @miskaisoniemi<\/a> if you want to peek :)<\/p>\n

Surprise bride & hair styling!<\/strong>
\nDuring the summer, I work more Saturdays than usual (because the other makeup artists have a holiday) and yesterday I had an unusual bridal make-up at the salon. Surprise weddings have been witnessed (eg that the guests think they are going to a baptism) but that the wedding was only a surprise for the bride (!) I have never been to before haha!<\/p>\n

Imagine getting the courtship in the morning and getting married the same day, what a fun idea! Note they had been together for 34 years so he was pretty sure she would say yes;)<\/p>\n

Jag gjorde hennes brudsminkning och i vanliga fall tar jag inga h\u00e5rstylingar men gjorde ett undantag f\u00f6r denna eftersom det skulle g\u00f6ras n\u00e5gonting enkelt och “slarvigt fixat” s\u00e5 det kunde jag ge mig p\u00e5.<\/p>\n

Here you see the hair:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The before and after pictures of the make-up will be in a separate post shortly :)<\/p>\n

What has happened more this week?<\/p>\n

Jag har haft 9 kunder varav en “stammis” som jag har fr\u00e5n Sk\u00e5ne som brukar stanna i Uppsala n\u00e4r hon \u00e5ker runt i landet, s\u00e5 kul :) I torsdags sminkade jag henne inf\u00f6r en resa till Tallin! Det kommer ni ocks\u00e5 f\u00e5 se bilder p\u00e5.<\/p>\n

I am already preparing blog material for our trip to Spain so that the blog does not have to be empty then. I do a plan and material cost calculation for our new microneedling treatment that will come this autumn and have completed Mia's autumn schedule (she who just trained for microneedling). It's a little calmer at the salon because more people are on holiday now so I have been able to go home several days before as well, which is really nice - so you can e.g. work naked in a cool bathtub instead;)<\/p>\n

So it's been a good week! All weeks are not as interesting to tell about, but I keep the tradition with the business week posts on Sundays when I often hear that they are appreciated. Cool!<\/p>\n

Now I will enjoy a day off :) Hugs to you \u2665<\/p>\n
