Castle Isalnd Boston Harbor
Finally edited some fun moments from our time at Castle Island in Boston at the start of the Summer as we prepare for our last work trip of Summer 2025.
We’re headed to NYFW this week, which is a total pinch-me moment, but everything that could go wrong has gone wrong so far.
First, some custom outfits we ordered forever ago underwent some shipping delays. At first, we didn’t think they would arrive in time. But when we did get them, we were hit with a 50% tariff, which caused the clearing of customs and delivery to come way more expensive than the outfits. The cost was a shock as we only had a 24-hour heads up to pay it. It was an expense we really didn’t need.
It gets worse - they got some measurements wrong, so half of the order won’t even work, and there’s no time for alterations at this point.
In addition, our A/C stopped working, and we haven’t really slept in the last 48ish hours because of the heat.
When things aren’t going the way we intend, it’s easy to get overly frustrated, and I tend to throw myself even further into work. Taking a moment to edit these clips reminded me how lucky I am to have these problems when things could be so much worse.
Luckily, I’m in a place where I can navigate these issues and more. It’s not fun, but life is all about the balance of the bad days and the good days, and we’re all just trying our best.
Everything with the trip this week may not go how we intended, but we’ll still put our best foot forward and bring our A-Game nonetheless.
Wish us luck!
