Hi Friends,
I just got home from a weekend away in San Francisco! It was a trip that felt like a deep breath before autumn begins. We spent the weekend at the Outside Lands Festival, rode in a self-driving Waymo (yes, it was wild!), explored the Charles Schulz Museum, and ended our days with Ghirardelli chocolate. 🍫
It’s been a long time since I allowed myself a trip like this. Stepping out of my routine, wandering through a new city, and listening to music under the open sky was exactly the reset I didn’t know I needed. There’s something about being somewhere unfamiliar that unlocks fresh inspiration; the kind that lingers long after you return home.
One of the most special parts of the trip was visiting the Charles Schulz Museum. I’ve loved Peanuts since I was a kid, and seeing Schulz’s original comic strips, drawings from the Christmas special, and his actual studio space was incredible. I was especially struck by the story of how the Christmas special almost didn’t get made - and how it became something timeless. It reminded me how often our best work is the result of quiet persistence and personal vision, even when the world doesn’t quite “get it” yet.
That visit filled me with a new kind of creative energy. I came home excited to get back into my own studio—and just in time to finish up two brand-new products that will be launching this Friday!
Alongside my fall soaps, I’ll be releasing:
🍂 Nourishing Body Butters – My new nightly ritual. This rich, creamy blend leaves skin soft and deeply hydrated, perfect for those of us who get extra dry in the cooler months.
🌾 Perfume & Room Sprays – A gentle way to layer your favorite fall scent throughout your day. Wear it on your skin or spritz it on your linens for a subtle, cozy atmosphere.
Both were made with the intention of slowing down and savoring the season.
