Life recently.
I’m doing this new thing with social media- post & ghost.
The metrics.
The insights.
The comparison!
What gives!?
I just can’t.
For me this has to be an artistic expression that we both like, or something that I want to give to you or nothing.
I can’t do the self-serving nature of it all. There’s no flexing, no flaunting, none of it. It’s either art, or service, or nothing for me.

Ok, I’ll kindly step down off this soap box. See you tomorrow! ❣️
Zeth and I rode bikes for hours today, and as I write this we’re sitting waiting for our Indochine nc now we’re so hungry!! Xoxo!

Yes. I actually think it gets to the heart of the post faster without it.

DAY 11/365: HAIR DEUX → HOUSEHOLD NAME

I think we’re figuring out what this little corner of the internet is going to be together.

I’ve been paying attention to what you seem to enjoy, what you respond to, and what starts conversations. And luckily, it seems to be the same things I genuinely love sharing.

Which feels like a pretty good place to start.

What started as 365 days of building HAIR DEUX into a household name is becoming something a little more personal.

Maybe it’s really 365 days of building something while also living a life.

Because maybe you don’t want to hear about cost of goods sold every day. 😂 And frankly, I don’t want to talk about it every day either.

So yes, there will be business. Lots of it.

But there will probably also be houses, clothes, travel, people I love, ideas, mistakes, wins, disappointments, funny stories and all the little things that make life good while I try to build something I’m proud of.

And for those of you who DO want the business building ☕️🫖, today looked like this:

Talked to 10 packaging manufacturers.

Sent a Fleet Feet partnership update.

Designed our Pure Barre collab packaging.

Worked on HAIR DEUX marketing.

Plotted holiday inventory.

Emailed Trailborn about a hopefully VERY fun 2027 event.

Made this video.

And now I’m calling it.

Tomorrow might be business. It might be something completely different.

You seem to like both.

Me too! 🤍

Story time! 📖 Today I’m telling the story of how THE BEST HAIR TIES EVER ™️ got into CVS Pharmacy before we even had a website.

It’s a tale worth sharing—and one that taught me a lot. Lessons I still lean on as I move this brand forward, and ones that might help you too.

Here’s the biggest one: sometimes you take your at-bat and the other team still wins. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have stepped up to the plate.

And while I don’t want to sound snarky and say you did a lot more than the folks who paid to watch you play… I will say this: there are very few people with enough grit and guts to actually step up and swing.

So keep swinging.

Your home run will happen eventually. ⚾️

Day 10 of 365 and more orders are coming in everyday! You guys are showing up & reminding me that even though it’s scary I should too!

Look, I don’t care who you are, or what you do…it’s hard!

So we have to either quit, or put one foot in front of the other and keep climbing everyday. Spoiler alert- we aren’t quitters!

So, let’s dig in, help each other, and DEUX this.

Don’t you dare think about giving up! There’s more for us, and it’s so close I can see it on the horizon! ☀️💓

Day 9 of 365 days to make HAIR DEUX a household name.

A little reminder from someone who has started, stopped, succeeded, failed, pivoted, questioned everything…and started again:

You do not have to have it all figured out.
You just have to keep going.

It’s okay. Don’t give up. 🤍

Turns out, happiness might be a business strategy. ❤️

I’m two days into my 365-day experiment to make HAIR DEUX a household name, and this week I was reminded that building something big doesn’t have to mean putting everything else on hold.

See the friends. Take the class. Go to the beach. Laugh until your stomach hurts.

The work will still be there when you get back—and you might actually be better at it because you left.

Also… TWO DAYS into taking founder content seriously and my engagement is already up 88%. 👀

Day 2/365. Wins, losses, lessons + everything in between. Let’s DEUX IT. 💃❤️
