These algorithms are wild! Help me find my friends again!!

So hi when you see this!

Tomorrow is rally day 💜

The day for our team, our customers, our friends and our supporters 👯‍♀️

The day we work together to symbolize the power people have when they come together as one.

It might seem silly to rally with lipstick, but it’s always -always- been so much more than a silly little lipstick business.

Here are a few stories shared on our team page today 🥹

I have reached 100 followers! Thank you for your continued support. I could not have done it without each of you. 🙏🤗🎉

I just wanted to take a moment to say, if you have an idea, GO FOR IT! Even if it’s 9pm and you’re texting your admin at work about it!

If you know me, I struggle BIG with confidence, in myself, my looks, my ideas, my abilities, basically everything.

When I have ideas I usually blow them off because I don’t think they’re good enough, and most of the time aren’t always thought all of the way through because of it.

Last night I send a text to my admin team asking if I could take our pet bunny to the school since Easter is this weekend. (Totally expecting no jut because we have a LOT going on at our school.) They told me yes, and I was so excited!!

Today I spent all day walking around with the bunny taking it from class to class and showing all of the littles, letting them pet it and ask questions.

Well, after spending all day with ALLLLLLL of the kids and teachers, I had another idea. Why don’t I keep the bunny as the school pet. We can use him as a comfort pet, positive reinforcement pet, or just “ugh I’m having a bad day and need to see/feel/hold something cute” type thing?!

I was soooo nervous about this. I love my principal, but we don’t have a connection like I think we should, could or how I’d want. So this made me thinking about this even more nauseating. But… I DID IT! I talked to her after school about my idea and she loved it! (To show how unconfident in anything I do I am, look here: I lead the conversation off with “hi Mrs ______, I have an idea, it might be a bad one and you might want to shoot it down right away, and I’m ok with that….” How crazy is that?!?

Anywho, so we now have a school pet, kids are going to be able to earn “bunny bucks” or bunny money 🐰 💵 to spend time with him and read stories to him in the library for good behavior, or just be able to cuddle a kiddo who may be having a tough day and needs some light in their day!

Only thing is, I need to find structure for this idea.
🐰 How many bunny bucks gets a visit to the bunny?
🐰 How long do they get to visit him?
🐰 Do I offer this daily or only on certain days?

I’ve got some thinking to do on this.

Any ideas you may have, feel free to drop them below 👇🏼 or message me!

Check out some of the teachers who loved on the bunny today, too!

***No bunnies were harmed or eaten in todays events 🤭 ***

It’s not just “a stream of income.”

It’s so much more than that.

It’s passion.
It’s purpose.

It’s a woman trying on a red lipstick and feeling powerful!

It’s a new team member facing her fear and going live for the first time ever!

It’s watching the friendships be made between women who wouldn’t know each other if I hadn’t have said yes to this opportunity!

Every single day I have the chance to build something that means something, to women around the world, looking for community.

Impact ♥️

Just saw this post that my friend shared and it couldn’t be more true! Hit the nail on the head!!❤

The teenage years will break you.

It will test your resolve, your patience, your parenting choices.

It will make you feel insignificant and unworthy when your teenager lashes out.

It will make you wonder how one person can have so much laundry.

It will make you feel broken and lost when you can’t seem to get your kid back on track.

It will test your ability to keep your mouth shut when you need to pick and choose your battles. You will feel like your head may explode when you walk past their room.

It will test your ability to forgive when your teenager messes up—which they will, over and over again.

It will make you wonder where you went wrong.

It will make you feel helpless as you watch your kid face a world so much more complicated than the one we grew up in just two decades ago.

It will test your nerves as you watch them hop into a car or go on a trip or even a date leaving you to feel helpless and unable to protect them.

It will make you feel weak and feeble when you can’t help them quash their anxiety about school or relationships or how they will survive in this tough world.

It will make you bone-tired from driving and worry and worry and driving.

It will make you feel the weight of guilt so heavy it crushes you.

Yes, these challenging teenage years will break you.

You’ll smile all day when your teenager surprisingly pecks you on the cheek before they leave for school or drop everything you’re doing because your son asked you to watch a video on his phone, your two heads almost touching looking at the small screen.

Your heart will burst with happiness when you hear how kind they’ve been to a stranger.

You’ll find yourself challenged to look at the world in new ways because of their budding idealism.

You’ll feel unabashed pride as they find their passions, finish their education, start chasing their dreams.

You’ll see glimpses of the person they are becoming, and you begin to look forward to seeing what they will do with their life.

You will learn to accept change, because there is no turning back.

You’ll learn that any communication is good communication, so you’ll figure out emojis and snaps and Instagram.

You will buy the best snacks so they’ll want to bring their friends over, and you’ll spend your last dollar at Starbucks just to get a few extra moments in the car with them.

You will sneak into their room some nights, and they will still be awake. But as they are laying in their bed scrolling their phone or finishing homework or listening to music, for a brief moment you’ll see that toddler face again, and your heart will break into pieces. And then when they look up at you with sleepy eyes as you kiss them on the forehead, and if you are very fortunate, say something like, “I love you too,” you’ll sleep easy that night.

Yes, these teenage years will break you in every way; but, if you’re lucky, you’ve raised people who will help put you back together again.
