Five years ago, I invested in myself. I invested in an idea to create skincare for women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond who felt unseen and underrepresented. (And Stuber, thanks for believing in me even though you had to ❤️) I put my time, my money, and my energy into an idea I had NO CLUE would work. Today, because I chose to believe in myself, someone else is investing in that same idea. Never in a million years did I think I would be on the cover of @WWD… someone is gonna have a cocktail! This is for the women building from the ground up. This is the reminder that you have to believe in yourself before anyone else will. Thank you to Brian Thorne and everyone at Silas Capital, L Catterton, Willow Growth Partners, and Halogen Ventures — I couldn’t ask for better partners. The ones who believed in me from the beginning, and who I’m so excited to keep building with going forward. To my team, you are my everything. Thank you for building this community and making our dreams come true. There’s a laundry list of people to thank, but for now, I’ll say this: It’s never too late. It’s never too big of an idea. And it’s never impossible. Thank you, @wwd, for sharing this moment ❤️ PS @thecartesian we’re buying the sweatshirts 😉
