𝗔𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘆, you start peeling off layers you never knew you wore.
The mask of politeness that kept you silent at the dinner table? Gone. The tight, suffocating expectations of who you should be? Shredded. The shackles of “fitting in”? Snapped.

Because 𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘆, you’re done with the show. You’ve played every role they handed you: the dutiful daughter, the patient wife, the sacrificial mother. And now, you’re stepping off the stage. No more lines to recite. No more scripts to follow.

𝗔𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘆, you stop pretending that being alone means being lonely. You’ve walked through the fire, and it burned away everything that wasn’t real. You carry the ashes of past dreams in your pockets, but they no longer weigh you down. Instead, they remind you of the phoenix you’ve become—rising, fierce, and unapologetically you.

𝗔𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘆, you’re the mother of things unseen. You mother your forgotten ambitions, coaxing them back to life. You mother the little girl inside who learned too early to be quiet and small. You mother your own soul, bruised but unbroken, as it learns to fly again.

And 𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘆, you redefine beauty. Not in the way you look, but in the way you live. Beauty is the strength to say no without explanation. It’s the courage to stand tall when the world tells you to shrink. It’s the quiet confidence that comes from knowing you’ve survived things others can’t even imagine.

𝗔𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘆, the idea of freedom isn’t a distant dream—it’s a daily choice. The freedom to walk away from conversations that drain you, from relationships that suffocate you, from a life that no longer fits. You’re free to create a life that’s messy, imperfect, and all yours.

Now, as you step into the next chapter, you don’t just live—you savor. Each day is a slow, deliberate feast, where you taste every moment, every emotion, every breath. You take your time, because you know time is precious.

And finally, 𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘆, you realize something profound: the world might try to break you, but it’s in the breaking that you find your truest self. You are not defined by the pieces that fell apart, but by the woman who put them back together. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁.

From EWG

Did you know that strawberries are at the top of EWG's Dirty Dozen list? 🍓

Despite being delicious, conventionally grown strawberries were found to have up to 23 pesticides on each sample in our 2024 Shoppers Guide research. Opt for organic strawberries when possible, but also remember that eating fresh produce (regardless of how they're grown) will always be better than ultra-processed snacks and junk food!

Hello everyone…a clean beauty update for you. Beautycounter will close until the end of 2024. It breaks my heart as I have dedicated the past 4years to sharing this incredible brand with you. Their goal is to return in some form at the end of this year but I don’t know what that will look like yet.
I will be having a sale of my existing stock as soon as I can get organized. I wanted to give you this update and let you know how much your support and love of clean beauty has meant to me since I started this business in 2020 Grateful for you all ❤

🌻"Are you familiar with the “Let Them” theory? I’ll tell you friends, the more I grow, the more I am okay with accepting the “Let Them” in my own life and relationships.

🖤This is something that took me a very long time to learn. I used to tolerate a lot because I didn't want to lose people. But I learned the hard way if they were really my people they would never treat me like that. Don't make the mistake of being so understanding and forgetting that you overlook the fact that you're being repeatedly disrespected.

🌻Let them be upset.
Let them judge you.
Let them misunderstand you.
Let them gossip about you,
Let them ignore you.
Let them be "right."
Let them doubt you.
Let them not like you.
Let them not speak to you.
Let them run your name in the ground.
Let them make you out to be the villain.
Whatever it is that people want to say about you, let them!
Kindly step aside and LET THEM.

🖤The hard truth is they know how much they are hurting you. And they just simply don't care. They did it knowing it could cause them to lose you. And they did it anyway. People that love you care about how they make you feel. The end. Let them go.

🌻There will be people that would rather lose you than be honest about what they've done to you. Let them go.

🖤The lack of respect was the closure. The lack of apology was the closure. The lack of care was the closure. The lack of acountability was the closure. The lack of honestly was the closure. Let them go.

🌻Make the decision to no longer sit at tables where you might be the topic when you get up. Let them go.

🖤You can still be kind. You can even still love them deeply. But do it from the distance they created in their words and actions. Access to you is a privilege they have proven they can’t be trusted with. Let them go.

🌻You don’t need to tell your side of the story. God already knows. Let God fight the battle for you. Just choose to forgive and let them go.

🖤It’s taken me a long time to get here. Sleepless nights, countless tears, managing a range of emotions filled with anger, disappointment, confusion and deep hurt. Lots of self reflection, self preservation, deep prayer and seeking wisdom from those much wiser than me.

🌻If you are struggling with this please know you are not alone. We will never understand why hurt people hurt people. But we can do the hard work to grow ourselves. Because healed people do in fact heal people.

🖤Don’t you dare let them steal your joy.
Don’t you dare let them steal your light.
Don’t you dare let them steal your peace.
You are in control of that.

🌻Hold tight to what you can control and release your grip on what you can’t control.

🖤Let them go."

- Mel Robbins

Success is a staircase, not a doorway.

Here we go, disrupting the industry again!! I'm here to share some breaking news with you all. Our founder and CEO, Gregg Renfrew, has successfully regained full ownership of Beautycounter after parting ways with the private equity investor who held majority share for the past three years. (Carlyle decided to exit the consumer space, focusing their time, attention and investments in other sectors)

The timing of this decision was actually ideal as it became abundantly clear that in the past three years without Gregg at the helm, we lost our way. Carlyle was not a good fit, and their moves to accelerate the business by appointing new leadership failed. This empowering ownership move ensures that we retain complete control of our brand and can remain committed to our mission of creating a safer and healthier beauty industry and world.

You know those people that you meet in life that inspire you to your core. Gregg, to me, is that person. She is brave, courageous, determined, and holds a clear vision of what she wants this brand to become. This week, Gregg once again made another bold, badass move and now has 100% control back of the company SHE created!!! I could not admire her more for stepping back in to finish the job SHE started. The new Beautycounter will be better than ever for chapter 2.

In 2013, I became part of Beautycounter, drawn by its mission and Gregg’s visionary leadership. Now, 11 years later, I’m thrilled to embark on a new journey with my advocate community. Here we go—our adventure is just beginning.

To transition the company to the new ownership team, we’ll be pausing our website until May 1st. If, between now and then, you need products, please reach out! I’d be happy to help you find what you need!

I have known Gregg for 35 years and will take pride being a part of this new chapter. Gregg Renfrew
