Tip Tuesday – New Skill. New Side Hustle.

Over the past 2 years or so with the pandemic, we’ve all had some spare time to kill. Many people took it upon themselves to learn something new; a beginner skill. So much so that it is a top 100 all time top hashtag on Instagram- #handmade.

You can tell people are doing new things when you go shopping. Who knew there would be a demand for wheel barrows! Do I really have to go online to get a wheel barrow? Two local hardware stores and 3 big box stores and it was either a $250 wheel barrow or the one I picked, which as it turns out, was clearly an open box as it was missing parts…GAH!! Apparently, gardening is a new skill many people are taking up. So good luck finding those special seeds or a soaker hose. You know what? I have a much easier beginner skill for you to learn and you can get a kit right now to get started. That skill is chalking with Chalk Couture!

I don’t know about taking over the World, Dr Evil, but I do know it’s fun and you can even make some extra money doing it! Chalk Couture is custom décor that is foolproof to create, easy to clean up, and a ton of fun to make again and again. Reusable Chalk Transfers™ and washable Chalkology™ Paste make some high end home decor. If you’ve ever been envious of those cool quotes and sayings signs or fun vintage farmhouse decor items your friends spent a mint on at Kirkland’s, you can make that stuff yourself!
