Hello mates!

I hope you’re having a tremendous day to date! This week has been a wild one. All of us needed to re-audition for subsequent 12 months’s symphony season (obtained my spot however was tremendous nervous!), it’s picture week at dance, Mom’s Day tea in school (one in all my favourite occasions for the 12 months), a charity occasion with Liv, and the standard dance/basketball/homework scramble, in between shopper calls and another thrilling issues (one will likely be annouced tomorrow!).

Right here’s a duplicate of the e-mail that I despatched to my purchasers:

I shared extra on IG tales a few weeks in the past, however our founder, Gregg Renfrew, purchased the corporate again from the funding group Carlyle. They didn’t appear to align with Beautycounter’s mission, and the corporate had been in a little bit of a tough spot for the previous couple of years.

I took a step again to observe and see what was going to occur, and was actually excited to listen to that Gregg was again on the forefront of the corporate. We launched the perfume line – I loooooved it!! – and it felt like momentum was constructing.

It didn’t appear to be a superb signal to me, however I remained cautiously optimistic. They’ve encountered some hurdles alongside the best way which have delayed the re-opening of the web site. They initially said it might be up Might 1, but it surely wasn’t able to go. The newest information immediately is that they assume that it will likely be again in This fall… simply in time for the vacations.

I believe that clear magnificence and skincare must be accessible to everybody, and I’m actually happy with the merchandise I’ve shared and the laws they’ve handed for safer magnificence. I’m grateful for the unbelievable girls who’ve been on my crew — at one level there have been over 100 of us! It was genuinely a “girls supporting different girls” vibe and I’m right here.for.that.

I’m additionally past grateful to all of YOU. Thanks for trusting me with skincare suggestions, for having fun with these wonderful merchandise, and for immediately serving to to assist our household. For a few years, BC was a major a part of my revenue, and I really feel grateful day-after-day for my *jobs* and the power to attach with all my digital BFFs on-line 🙂

I can acknowledge that issues have modified with the corporate, and that it’s time to maneuver on. I’ve expanded my clear skincare and sweetness horizons over the previous couple of years, and can proceed to share all of my faves + new ideas and methods I’ve discovered. The newest line that I’m loving is named Oliveda, and I made a decision to accomplice with them as an affiliate to share my fave merchandise. If you’re looking for something new to try, my link is here! The serums are amaaaazing and I’ve additionally fallen in love with their bathe gel and honey enzyme face masks. For those who’d prefer to attempt it – particularly for the reason that BC web site has been down for weeks now – hit reply and I’d love to assist with some starter recs.
