Dragons’ Den... Did We Make It? 🐲✨
(Originally posted November 13th)

Spoiler alert: Ye...ahhh, no, we didn’t. 😅 BUT it was a wild ride being scouted by the Dragons’ Den team and asked to audition! Honestly, it felt like winning already just to get noticed. 🎉

So, here’s the tea: production said we’re a bit “pre-revenue” for their liking... which, let’s be real, usually means a Dragon is ready to roast you alive. 🔥🤣
But hey, they told us to come back once we’re launched and have that sweet, sweet revenue flow to share!

All in all, it’s another ‘no’ to check off as we climb toward our ‘YES.’ Here’s to more doors opening! 🚪✨

Are We Being Je**ed Around? 🤔

Trust is everything—for us, for our customers, and with our manufacturer. But right now, that trust is shaken.

We’re working with one of the top skincare manufacturers—the kind you find in Sephora—but things aren’t adding up. Is this just how smaller brands get treated, or are we dealing with the new standard in production?!

We need your take. What would you do if you were in our shoes?

For context:
🔍 A pilot production run should prove the formula works as expected and the packaging fits—simple, right? But our sliders don’t fit the tubes, and we’ve had an issue with our formula consistency...now we’re questioning everything.

These small pre-production runs are supposed to:
* Reduce production risks
* Expose potential quality issues
* Set clear expectations for scaling up

…but instead, we’re feeling left in the dark + getting push back and we’re DENIED for a pilot!

What do you think—is this just part of the process, or should we cut ties?

🎥 Stay tuned for Part 2—we’re bringing the receipts 📲

A long-overdue update. 💧 (Originally posted October 15th on Instagram!)

Are we still alive? Is Simply Jellin still happening?! 😅 You gotta watch the video for all the tea 🫖

Let’s just say, product development is no joke—there’s a cost to everything, and we’re paying it. Time, money, and patience… but this setback is just another step toward perfection. ✨

We’re recalculating and pushing forward with a stronger plan.

PS: Shoutout to all the beauty founders this year… it’s brutal out here, but we’re not giving up. 🔥

Double tap if you’re rooting for us—we need it! 🙏
