CEO here, My name is Cradine, if you don't know now you know, and welcome to the family. You can call me Cra, and thank you for finding your way to my website and for taking the time to read this. This is my first official blog post and I just wanted to speak from the heart and be a little transparent. Buckle in as this is a lengthy read.
I initially wanted to drop my website back in February, on Valentine's day featuring an elaborate shoot for a large unisex collection I designed, that I will still be dropping. Unfortunately I underestimated how much I could really work myself. This craft I have chosen as my passion is one that is all time consuming. And although it is peaceful and a wonderful outlet to express myself and my creativity and give to my supporters, It takes a toll on your body, on your mind, and on your sleeping habits.
I did a lot of traveling, I was a full time student (Business Major) and simultaneously not only trying to fulfill orders but design new things and build a website from scratch. I also had some personal emotional issues I was having a hard time overcoming... but we prevail and we're not gonna talk about him, I mean those. Anyways I beat myself up a lot about not living up to my potential, or not doing enough and being stressed, and overwhelmed, and tired. I wasn't happy with my lifestyle in terms of my health and how my body looked. I was dissatisfied with my progress. I was dissatisfied with my income, with my success. I have no immediate support system, I don't have a local community, I don't have any financial help from any one. This has been the case for me well before adulthood.
Everything I have I dragged myself out of the mud to get it on my own, and I am proud. I moved from a studio apartment into a 3 bedroom townhome. I did that alone, I have been to 5 countries so far this year and I will be visiting more before the year is up. My website is not perfect and doesn't include everything I want, just like me it is a work in progress. I have so many things in store coming, and I am working really hard and putting everything I have into becoming the Woman I know I am meant to be.
I just finished 75Hard I really recommend doing it if you have the time to be consistent. I am starting a training regiment at a new gym this week, I've also started kickboxing and pole fitness as well. I have so many things in store, a podcast, crochet Pokémon, more rugs, more plushies, travel vlogs, fashion content, lifestyle content, advice, and just taking the Cra-Nation a long for my journey because it's not always the destination.
If you read this whole thing I really appreciate it, I appreciate you being here. Please check out the whole site, I am open to constructive criticism and suggestions. Keep in mind A LOT of updates will be made in the imminent future so you can also just stay tuned.
I am one person running a site, several social media platforms, consistently working out, curating new designs, hand making apparel, rugs, accessories decor, trying to experience life to the fullest, record myself experiencing life, edit said content... I am one person being a creative director, social media manager, shipping and handler, videographer, editor, I mean you name it. So please give a girl some grace. Thank you so much and I hope you love everything I have in store
