a year for the books, baddies.

Happy New Year baddies! 🎉 ✨ We've spent most of December resting, recharging, and slowing down before this new year (also half rotting on the couch, half vision boarding/planning for 2024 🤗 ). We're so grateful for this community that continues to blossom and grow beyond our wildest dreams!

We're sharing a recap of our 2023 in review, from launching our very first digital product self-care guide, to doing several in-person events with Google, Rare Beauty and University of California, Berkeley, Haas School of Business to being feature in Essence (in print!!), Girlboss and Sustainable Baddie- we're so excited for what's in store this year! 💖

Ready for the recap? Buckle up, it’s a long one!
