Lavender is NOT a reseller store, although if there’s money to be made on the reselling of Lavender products, I’m not … Read More

This way of thinking is so detrimental for those that fall in this toxic mindset but that’s just how some people are.

Multiple Platforms, is it a Good Idea?
This week, I received a question about selling on more than 1 platform, more specifically, eBay and Poshmark simultaneously. This question was asked because the person was not doing as well on eBay as they were on Poshmark. My take is on this is a pragmatic one.

Welp, This Needs to Be Addressed
It’s been brought up to my attention that some of us are not liking the fact that I’m still shipping and doing business during these times. The problem with this is that NOBODY has asked me personally how I’m still able to make it happen because in their eyes, I’m putting my staff at risk. Again, NOBODY asked me. People … Read More

Don’t Treat Your Closet Like a One Night Stand
Even though I’ve only been on Poshmark for a little over a year, I got the opportunity to review 100’s now with the help of my team. I’ve seen a number of beautiful closets that I’m envious of (in a good way) and MANY closets that I’m perplexed by.
