Since Beautycounter made it\u2019s announcement yesterday, we\u2019re not quite sure when they\u2019ll be back in action. I\u2019m grateful for the experience but am parting ways with the company and looking forward to the next adventures.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Hi friends!<\/p>\n

I hope you\u2019re having an amazing day so far! This week has been a wild one. We all had to re-audition for next year\u2019s symphony season (got my spot but was super nervous!), it\u2019s photo week at dance, Mother\u2019s Day tea at school (one of my favorite events for the year), a charity event with Liv, and the usual dance\/basketball\/homework scramble, in between client calls and some other exciting things (one will be annouced tomorrow!).<\/p>\n

So I\u2019ve been running around like a chicken, and in between everything, Beautycounter dropped a bomb yesterday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a copy of the email that I sent to my clients:<\/p>\n

\n

I hope that you\u2019re having a wonderful week. Just wanted to pop in with a quick note and update about Beautycounter. I shared more on IG stories a couple of weeks ago, but our founder, Gregg Renfrew, bought the company back from the investment group Carlyle. They didn\u2019t seem to align with Beautycounter\u2019s mission, and the company had been in a bit of a rough spot for the past couple of years.<\/p>\n

I took a step back to watch and see what was going to happen, and was really excited to hear that Gregg was back at the forefront of the company. We launched the fragrance line \u2013 I loooooved it!! \u2013 and it felt like momentum was building.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, I was surprised to hear the news that the website was going down in April with the transfer of the business. It didn\u2019t seem like a good sign to me, but I remained cautiously optimistic. They\u2019ve encountered some hurdles along the way that have delayed the re-opening of the website. They originally stated it would be up May 1, but it wasn\u2019t ready to go. The latest news today is that they think that it will be back in Q4\u2026 just in time for the holidays.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been a huge fan of Beautycounter and their mission for many years. I originally joined 9 years ago \u2013 when P was a tiny baby. I think that clean beauty and skincare should be accessible to everyone, and I\u2019m really proud of the products I\u2019ve shared and the legislation they\u2019ve passed for safer beauty. I\u2019m grateful for the incredible women who have been on my team \u2014 at one point there were over 100 of us! It was genuinely a \u201cwomen supporting other women\u201d vibe and I am here.for.that.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also beyond thankful to all of YOU. Thank you for trusting me with skincare recommendations, for enjoying these amazing products, and for directly helping to support our family. For many years, BC was a significant part of my income, and I feel grateful every day for my *jobs* and the ability to connect with all my virtual BFFs online \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I can recognize that things have changed with the company, and that it\u2019s time to move on. I\u2019ve expanded my clean skincare and beauty horizons over the past couple of years, and will continue to share all of my faves + new tips and strategies I\u2019ve learned. The latest line that I\u2019m loving is called Oliveda, and I decided to partner with them as an affiliate to share my fave products. If you\u2019re looking for something new to try, my link is here!<\/a> The serums are amaaaazing and I\u2019ve also fallen in love with their shower gel and honey enzyme face mask. If you\u2019d like to try it \u2013 especially since the BC website has been down for weeks now \u2013 hit reply and I\u2019d love to help with some starter recs.<\/p>\n

More of my favorite skincare recs are in this post.<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you again for supporting BC and I hope you have a wonderful week.<\/p>\n

xoxo<\/p>\n

Beautycounter swaps and what you can use instead<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve always shared a variety of brands and things I love here on the blog, so in today\u2019s post, I thought I\u2019d share some Beautycounter swaps and what you can use instead. It\u2019s also worth mentioning that you can purchase Beautycounter products at Ulta through July (\u2026so they say), so if you live near an Ulta and want to stock up, I\u2019d do that!<\/p>\n
