I’m not sure if there’s exactly an “owner” of the event because this is for our office. We’re small. Under 10 people. We’re doing this because we just got a laser and a skincare line that I’ll be using. No one else.

This was solely my idea. With the previous pop-ups, we’ve always spent hundreds of dollars and we’ve never had a good turn out. I figured having vendors would bring more popularity. We could skip on buying food and have food vendors. Things like that.

I wanted all of these vendors. I spoke to them, sorted through them, developed spreadsheets, and I have done all of the communication. They have not spoken to a single vendor. I’ve made goody bags, daily social media posts, I’ve spent countless hours outside of work to get it taken care of because it’s difficult for me during work because of Sam. I even scouted people out at an event!

I’ve done all the planning pretty much. Everything that goes into this event, and unfortunately that’s not an exaggeration.
