#OOOwithITES: The WFH Edition

#OOOwithITES: The WFH Edition

As I begin my first blog post, I want to take a moment to thank all of Island to East Sides loyal followers and customers. The love and outpouring of support, especially during this difficult time has been overwhelming, in such a great way. 

From all of your feedback on our Instagram posts and stories, to the private DMs we receive, I am truly amazed. We are navigating through unchartered waters right now and its not always easy knowing what the right thing to do is when it comes to business. Above all, I want to be connected and transparent with our customers, because without all of you, ITES would not be where it is today.

Recently, we hosted a few charitable shopping events and giveaways on Instagram that not only drove traffic to our site, but also created excitement in a lackluster time like this. People truly amaze me, in a good way. We received messages from those who participated in the giveaways, saying how much fun it was, even if they didn’t win, and that left me feeling like I was at least able to spread some good vibes. We also received notes from customers thanking us for arranging donations to Baby2Baby and Wish Upon a Wedding, which left me feeling humbled and appreciative for the opportunity to do so.

Since these giveaways and charitable shopping events were so successful, we are already brainstorming more ways to give back and connect with all of you daily. At ITES, we love collaborating with other brands, and this might be the perfect time to do so. As a result, we would also love to incorporate philanthropic purchases into our calendar year round, rather than just in this time of distress.  

I truly believe the power of social media and the ability to access one another so easily puts us at an advantage; even though we are self-isolating physically, we are not alone. Ive never felt so in touch with all of you and with our business. Id love to take advantage of the time and clarity this quarantine has afforded me and establish a way I can continue to reach out to you as our busy lives resume.  

For a while now, Ive been thinking of how much Id like to connect with all of you in a more personal way. Because Instagram has been a great way to share and engage our followers, I want to capitalize on additional ways to do so.

Truth be told, Ive always been a bit hesitant to share too much of me,” and so Ive kept myself separate from the ITES brand, but this current norm” were living in has given me the urge to step out of my comfort zone. And if were being frank, the time to write this, a luxury I didnt have even a few short weeks ago.

If theres one thing thats surprised me while building this brand, its that people are genuinely interested in knowing not only about the custom items we design, but also the faces behind the brand. Because of that reason, and the need to fill my less busy schedule, Ive decided to embrace some of the ideas Ive had on the back burner and bring them to life. And here you have it, the #OOOwithITES blog is officially born.

Before all of this happened, I was super stressed out. Between work and wedding planning (yes, Im also an ITES bride) I didnt have a free spot in my mental capacity, certainly not to put my all into something like a blog

What wished for was that life could just take a pause, everything around me would stop moving, and I wouldnt have to feel guilty anymore about abandoning my long list of, Ill get to that someday.” In case you havent realized, Im the type of person who wants to do it all and have a hard time accepting I cant. 

Well it looks like I got exactly what I wished for, (not in the way I had hoped it would happen of course), and it looks like youll now have a new blog to read each week. 

Unable to control whats going on outside, Im using this time to organize both personally and professionally. In addition to launching #OOOwithITES, Ive also gone back to the drawing board and asked myself, what is it that I want to see ITES stand for in the future. Whether its new items, new outlets to connect with all of you, or interactive ways to give back to the community that helped get ITES where it is today, I want to always keep the brand fresh and moving forward. 

As a small business owner with no one to answer to but myself, I am trying to focus and practice new forms of self-discipline while working remotely. Theres something about being in the office, surrounded by all of our beautiful bags, that allows me to be creative and product focused. Since we cant be there right now, I will continue to dream big from the safety of my bedroom, in the city that never sleeps.

There is something to be said about New Yorkers; we are resilient in the face of adversity. Were accustomed to just going, and going, and often get stuck in our daily routine so much so that we dont take a moment to just breathe. 

While we are all being forced to work and create in different ways, I believe that something wonderful will come out of all off this. Wherever you are, remember, this too shall pass and well make a brand new start from it.

    My name is Stefan Doege , I’m from Vegas. it all started when My husband left me for another woman, The most painful thing is that I was pregnant with our second baby. I wanted him back. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back, I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster called dr Paul, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before 11 hours. He cast the spell and surprisingly 11 hours later my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again. Thanks to Dr Paul. if you are here and your Lover is turning you down, or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact Dr Paul for help now..

    Hi everyone I am Emily Naomi wanna give a big thanks to this wonderful psychic for bringing my husband back to me… I never really believed in magic spells or anything spiritual but a trusted friend opened my eyes to the truth about life. My marriage was heading to divorce a few months ago. I was so confused and devastated with no clue or help on how to prevent it, till I was introduced to this psychic Priest Ray that did a love spell and broke every spiritual distraction from my marriage. A day later my husband started showing me love and care even better than it used to be, he’s ready to talk things through and find ways for us to stay happy. It’s such a miracle that my marriage can be saved so quickly without stress. You can also contact him for help by email psychicspellshrine@usako.net or WhatsApp: +12133525735 and you can also visit his website: https://psychicspellshrine.wixsite.com/my-site
