For those who have followed my journey, you may recall about a year ago, I was in a difficult place. On leave from a job I loved, battling depression and other serious medical conditions, living through the tumult of the pandemic and the angst of growing racial unrest across the country.
Being the “control the controllables” kind of person I am, I started using my coffee cups to help set my mood for the day. I write about it in my first blog post about CupOfMood. I started regularly posting pictures of some of my cups on my social media channels.
People responded positively to my CupofMood posts. People usually appreciated the messages on the cups. It wasn’t long before my collection became quite expansive. I started giving my cups away as gifts. However, even with that, my proverbial cup was running over.
After a while, people started asking me where they could buy some of the cups. That gave me the idea to open an Etsy shop. I opened in with no fanfare a few months ago, just to test the waters. I’ve sold a few cups which was enough for me to know, I found one of my new passions, sharing my carefully curated collection of cups with everyone! The cup collection that helped me battle depression, has turned into a little business and I couldn’t be happier!
So, welcome to Khadeeja’s CupofMood!
My Etsy shop is just taking shape. I’ll be adding more inventory regularly. Make sure to join my mailing list so you can find out when the latest cups drop!
