ABOUT

The Mission

 

One of my goals as a young Asian-American woman working in the business world is to spread the joy of slime. Whether it's for relaxation, playtime, creative expression, or anxiety-ease. Another of my goals is to carry a portrayal to those similar to my background as a Chinese American Woman. I want to inspire others to pursue their goals regardless of obstacles. I pride myself in being independent, self-motivated, and confident in my abilities. My passion has shown me that I thrive when given creative freedom and my shop helped express my imagination. I want to motivate/ inspire others to be driven and determined in their pursuit of their passions.

 

How it started

 

All through my life I've struggled with anxiety and stress. Since 2016, I have resorted to ASMR and Slime as stress relievers. I was hooked on slime because it was different from other products. From the various textures, fragrances, and add-ins it gave me the artistic freedom to create anything I desired. During a difficult time in 2020, I chose to focus on myself and seek after something that I cherished. My mom influenced me to follow my dreams during the lockdown and she funded me $500 to start up my company. This presented the ideal opportunity for me to start an Ecommerce business that would offer a creative and therapeutic sensory toy to many. I knew nothing about owning a business or creating online shops and I was totally lost in the beginning. As I was doing my research, I started to post content online. Tik Tok has been a huge boost, allowing me to post content that people enjoy. I started growing a following and here we are now! Still growing to this day!
