in this vlog, I document a full, unfiltered process of how I get ready for a farmer's market as a one-person home bakery, while (trying) to balance a full time job in technology. I share details about how I built this side hustle from the ground up, all the way from designing packaging, to developing recipes, and business strategy. I also share honest thoughts about burnout, time management, and how much I made from the market.
I hope this gives you a realistic view on what it's like to run a side hustle, and inspires you to start your own business (if that's what you want to do!)

So glad to see you were able to break out of a job you weren’t happy with. I’m in a similar position trying to figure out if I want to do with my life after being laid off.
Go lauren!! you got this!
Ooooh I felt the stress when you were last minute editing your procreate cookie cereal label! phewwww so impressed you pulled it off but yea.. so stressful. Well done! Every time its a learning process and I love seeing the behind the scenes and the finances of the business!
thank you so much!! the stress is real haha
I am so glad that I found your channel!! Your thoughts and situation resonates with me very much, and when i clicked into your channel and saw you're an INFP i was like ahhhhhhh is that why i was interested in your video...
Love seeing your videos, particularly the details of exactly how / what you do to get your Cookies to market. Very inspiring!
This is incredibly inspiring for me! Trying to work up the nerve to start my own side business too. Keep up the good work!
I wish I could do this 🍪 or start some side hustle haha. I did sign up for a digital preloved shop online but would love to do something like this or youtube but don't have time but would love the creativity..... you def good at sketching and designing 😃
Look tasty I would buy! The mint cookie look so yum
Best of luck in this business endeavor ! Love your passion and entrepenurial drive ! The growing pains and learning curve will be high , but focusing on affordable quality and recurring revenue will lead to sustainablity . Hopefully , you'll get some "angel funding" as needed but still allow you independence. In Marketing , it's all about the 4 P's : product, place, price , and promotion.
a professional!! Thanks for the tips
You are hustling!!! Glad that my favourite vloggers, Amy and Aleese supported you.
This is just the beginning of something bigger. I’m rooting for you. If I was still in China I would definitely be buying your cookies ❤
Ahh thank you so much
Very creative! Very good!

HaHa, more like, "When I started, I was barely a genius and master chef, then I became an advertising, film, and product marketing guru". The talent of a small village = 1 Evelyn 😂
You are correct, Evelyn, we are all capable of more than we can imagine, so just start! Thank you for sharing and inspiring Evelyn ❤
You are alway too kind Greg! Thank you🥰
Thank you for sharing ♥️ this is really inspiring to watch! Keep going 👏 wishing you the best!

Hey I love your videos and appreciate you sharing your journey. I'm going through something similar, stuck at a job in NYC but want to be back in China for something entrepreneurial. I'll be back in Beijing next weekend and I'll try to catch you at the market!
All the best!
