4/15 Edited to

... Read moreReflecting on my journey of building Brow Filter, I realize how crucial it is to embrace change and learn from mistakes. Initially, I chased growth aggressively, believing that more products and pushing harder meant success. But over time, I noticed that this approach was slowly harming the very brand I worked so hard to create. Selling thousands of units and building a community of over 30,000 on TikTok was exhilarating, but it also meant I spread myself too thin. One pivotal moment was deciding to cut back on my product range and focus on my three best sellers. This wasn’t easy—each product had years of love and effort behind it. Yet, I needed to realign Brow Filter with its core mission: creating beauty products that truly care for customers. I learned the importance of courage in business—the courage to let go of what no longer serves your vision and to invest in what will sustain your brand long-term. For other small business owners, especially those in the beauty industry, I recommend regularly reviewing your product lineup and customer feedback. Shipping challenges and customer shifts can impact your business more than you expect. Remember, quality and alignment with your brand values can outweigh quantity and constant expansion. Building a business alongside a significant life event like a wedding adds emotional layers—sometimes success and personal growth happen simultaneously. Sharing these authentic experiences with your community not only builds trust but also helps you stay grounded when facing tough decisions. Ultimately, the key lesson I’m embracing is that slow and thoughtful refinement beats unchecked growth, enabling me to keep refining Brow Filter to meet the needs of my customers and my soul.

Why I ditched Coffee for Matcha 🍵
My biggest reason is my health… I suffer from Pots Syndrome, Anxiety & migralepsy and coffee seemed to make all of them much worse… but why? Here are the reasons I switched.. Matcha provides a far healthier caffeine hit The main reason that I wanted a coffee in the AM is the caffeine hit.
