šļø Already Ariel's August Reselling Recap?! š«Ø
Extra puppy photos inside. š¶
Welcome to Our Info Dump! Thanks for letting us take a dump on your inbox!
I went to Boston last month to visit a friend. It made me more excited to move out of Denton next year and reminded me why Iām putting so much effort into these little gigs. Going out of town makes me feel more relaxed and puts my anxieties related to being here into perspective. Iām not even aware of how much baseline tension my body holds until I leave. It makes me both excited and nervous to see how my mental and physical health will change when Nina and I finally move away for good.
š Reselling Numbers
Total items sold: 59
Total cost of sold items: $96.96
Average cost per item: $1.64
Total shipping paid: $9.97 (buyers pay for shipping on Poshmark)
Average profit per item: $14.32
Total profit: $845.07
I failed to meet my reselling goal last month. Iām on track for my 2024 goal, $10,000 after costs, but August was particularly slow. Still summer slowdown?? Idk. September is already looking more promising. I do have a week-long work trip this month that will impact things, but parts of the country seem to be already prepping for colder weather and the gift-giving holidays.
š³ Churning
Lol nothing. But I have some things in the works!
In lieu of a profit report, here are my favorite websites for finding churning deals:
š¤·āāļø Anything else?
Lol no. Not a lot going on last month. I did some secret shopping assignments on the way back from Boston on September 1st, so the next recap post will have more numbers.

In other news, Nina and I started fostering a pug with DFW Pug Rescue! Meet Topper.
Heās so sweet. š I can see how people foster fail. This little boy is either running around with a stuffed animal or finding a way to put as much of his body as possible on the nearest human. During therapy this week, he slept on my lap and snored the whole time. ššššš
Someone found him hiding in a bush in her yard. He ticks all over his body and no microchip. Despite this, he has no tick-borne illnesses or any other health issues. The rescue told us he was around two years old, but I donāt believe them. This is a puppy. Heās way too hyper to be that far into adulthood.
Heāll be available to adopt in a few days! See his pupdates over on Nuggetās Instagram.
