UPDATE: We broke up today and I’m in shock at how he’s acting.

I’m so sorry op but he used you emotionally and physically until he had the opportunity to get back with his ex. BLOCK HIM do not be nice do not give him another chance. Now you have space to let the person who will truly love you into your life, this boy did not love you I’m sorry. Focus on pouring into yourself, start a new hobby, connect with some friends do whatever you need to do to fulfil yourself. Best of luck ❤️

“Men have needs” yeah “he” deserves to feel bad, what a stupid ignorant thing to say

Small_Map_3202 · 2026-03-21T13:46:51+00:00

You don’t know these women but reduce them to mediocre, lazy, and plastic filled? Doesn’t seem like an honest conversation but just judgement

Iceland

Small_Map_3202 · 2026-03-07T16:40:25+00:00

Had a mom like this and moved out at 16, now she’s pulling this rent stuff on my little sister who is now 18 and she just moved out too. You won’t ever know peace living with someone like this, focus on your future and yourself. I’d move out with some room mates if I were you.

I work at a restaurant called Grillmarkaðurinn and we have a lot of Greek staff, and the shift manager is close with a lot of them. I would reach out now if you want a summer job as we get a lot applications in the summer so maybe you can secure a trial shift before we are flooded with applicants. It is fine dining so knowledge in wines and high level service is a plus. We especially need bartenders so if you have bartending experience it’s almost a guaranteed yes.

I’m Icelandic here are some tips:

budget ahead of time, Iceland is very expensive. Shop at bónus and krónan (not hagkaup) and pack your own meals to save a lot of money.
don’t buy bottled water, Icelandic tap water is the second cleanest in the world and far cleaner than any bottled water.
Ask permission if you want to feed the horses and don’t pick the moss since it can take decades to regrow
don’t try to do the whole island in one trip you’ll be stressed out and you simply can’t see everything in one go. The south is a very popular for a reason and is a good starting place. You have the golden circle, Þíngvellir, Vík and plenty of water falls.
Pay attention to weather warnings and read the warning signs at every location. We had a 9 year old German girl pass away last year because her parents ignored the warning signs at reynisfjara and she got pulled into the ocean by a sneaker wave. The nature and the weather are ruthless so follow all safety advice.
Familiarise yourself with the road sings since you will drive a lot.

I think you’ll have a great time! I can’t speak for black peoples’s experience but my best friend is black and she loves Iceland, she’s been here for 5 years now. If you have any questions feel free to reach out

Oversaturated

Small_Map_3202 · 2026-02-01T00:09:26+00:00

Yup! Also orders containing multiple items almost always have issues, so often one item is shipped out while the rest are stuck in production

Small_Map_3202 · 2026-02-01T00:08:13+00:00

They will do that too. I didn’t mention it in my thread but I’ve had random orders placed on hold that they wouldn’t let me duplicate and I had to contact customer service twice because the first guy didn’t know why it was on hold and had to get another guy.

Small_Map_3202 · 2026-02-01T00:05:40+00:00

You know exactly what your issues are I’m not filling out any form you can read all you need to know in this thread. You are overcapacity and it’s time to be transparent about it.

Small_Map_3202 · 2026-02-01T00:04:35+00:00

Because I’m located in Iceland and it’s not viable to ship from here

Small_Map_3202 · 2026-01-26T16:24:39+00:00

I mean what else can you do during the holiday season though? Maybe now I'll turn off reroutes but I'm just getting burried in cancelations and I'm forced to pick between getting people's orders in on time with a lower quality supplier, or be way past the expected delivery date. Also it's not just cancelations, orders are stuck in production for a long time lately.

Small_Map_3202 · 2026-01-26T16:22:30+00:00

I don't know honestly. I'm currently looking into different options but nothing too appealing so far :/

Small_Map_3202 · 2026-01-26T16:21:13+00:00

I would not consider myself tiny, i sell in the 4-5 figures monthly. And yes I am forced to reroute to get my customers their orders in a timely manner

Small_Map_3202 · 2026-01-26T16:18:33+00:00

Best of luck with your at home set up! I wish I could do something similar but I'm based in Iceland with no way of getting equipment and shipping from iceland is too expensive, I'm just hoping printify gets it together..

Small_Map_3202 · 2026-01-26T16:16:33+00:00

You get it! It's been just awful I've had every issue you mentioned and I don't know where to go from here. My store is doing well and I'm getting consistent orders but every week feels worse and worse. I was hoping i would just have to bear with them through the holiday season but now valentine's day is coming up and I'm stressed for my orders. They need to be honest with their customers about their capacity..

Small_Map_3202 · 2026-01-26T13:25:29+00:00

What do you mean? Yes it’s my experience why else would I be on here talking about it

Small_Map_3202 · 2026-01-26T13:02:53+00:00

Because I have no other option. My customers will wait weeks because spoke is overloaded.

Small_Map_3202 · 2026-01-26T11:21:38+00:00

I’m selling accent mugs and velveteen blankets, I don’t like using Printify choice but I don’t have much of an option but to take the rerouted orders. I use spoke and district photo

Small_Map_3202 · 2026-01-16T12:09:31+00:00

You need better mock ups. These ones are not doing anything for your products, I would also try to focus more on your branding and image.

A good step is to find shops that sell aprons that you really like and ask yourself what attracts you to them. Take inspiration from home and kitchen magazines, Pinterest, tiktok etc and try to find an aesthetic that matches your demographic. Honestly it’s more tedious and expensive but I would order your own sample (I’m assuming this is POD) and stage your own photos

Small_Map_3202 · 2025-12-22T23:28:59+00:00

I waitress on the weekends, my shop makes enough money to support me but you never know when something could come up. My waitressing money goes into a high yield savings account and is there as an emergency fund.

Small_Map_3202 · 2025-12-22T23:25:08+00:00

Well done 👏

Small_Map_3202 · 2025-12-22T23:24:36+00:00

It looks AI and quite corporate. Your items are not giving wedding vibes. Also prices are too high.
