Markets 21 At The School Jaya One

Hi again!

As mentioned in my previous post, Markets 21 was happening at The School Jaya One last weekend. The one thing I love about all these lifestyle bazaars is the unexpected cheap finds. Since I've pretty much done my CNY shopping, I was just basically looking around for any stalls that caught my attention. Continue reading to find out more!

The first one has got to be BentukBentuk by Adesh and Shahfiq that sells really pretty homemade concrete deco that comes in all kinds of shapes and sizes; thus the name of their brand. Look at those details, yourself. Some even have marble prints on it, how to resist you tell me! They do take customised order, depending on your design.

Next would be Naturafun, a home maker of soap bars, essential oil and more. I've heard of cold pressed juices, but cold pressed essential oil? It's definitely my first. Besides reasonably priced natural beauty solution, they do provide some interesting workshops in soap making and aromatherapy too.

Jeanie Botanical, another brand that emphasizes on the use of 100% natural and organic raw materials in their skin and body care products. One of their products that attracted me the most is the beautifully layered aromatic bath salt, would love to give it a try some day!

There are even stalls that sell stuff for your favourite canine. Besides some yummylicious treats, they do sell cute outfits for them too!

Adding another stall to the list would be Fleur Lab that sells personalized hand tied and bridal bouquets. They claimed all of the bouquets are made with real flowers that can last up to 5 years. And guess what, Valentine's Day is coming soon *hint hint

Last but not least, would be thes mouth watering brownies from Manis! They had a happy hour promo where their 3 best seller brownies are sold three pieces for RM10, which is definitely a steal. Needless to say, their brownies are as sweet as the founder herself, Adreena who is based in Ampang.

Since I was there after my brunch, I didn't get to explore the food area much but I saw a number of food trucks available selling all sorts of delicious snacks and food. Maybe next time?

After getting to know all these people behind their very own brands at Markets 21, or should I call them entrepreneurs, I have learnt one thing from them; they are really passionate in what they are doing. Start from being nothing, to running and growing their own business. They have done it, how bout you? #haveyoudoneit

So, if you already have a business plan and not sure what to do next, POP by Jaya One, Malaysia's very first pop up retail store is definitely your place to be. Open daily from 10am to 10pm, all you have to do is to walk in and talk to the consultants regarding your product or brand, they will then guide you from them. Worried about not being able to juggle between your day job and what not, no worries! Just let them do the rest! You can take up a spot for your store for a day, a week, or even a month, all at very affordable prices.

Remember, it's okay to start small. It's either now or never.
