pinch me!!

this time last year i was working 14+ hour days in investment banking, now im on my first brand trip with @dedcool !! dream big my corporate girlies 🤞🏻🤞🏻💌

3/15 Edited to

... Read moreReflecting on this amazing brand trip with DedCool, I can't help but feel grateful for how life’s turns can bring such rewarding experiences. The trip was not just a getaway but a celebration of creative work and self-care. We were welcomed with luxury rides to Rockaway Beach, about an hour from NYC, which already set the tone for an incredible experience. One highlight was getting to smell and receive DedCool’s new Mineral Milk fragrance—a unique, fresh scent with a sweet milky touch that’s perfect for daily wear. It stood out as a beautifully subtle yet refreshing aroma that effortlessly lifts your spirit. Despite the rooms not being ready upon arrival, spending the afternoon by the pool in 20-degree weather was a serene way to relax and soak in the coastal vibe. Later, we were gifted a full set of DedCool products, many personalized, which made the trip feel even more special. Another memorable moment was the rooftop pre-dinner activity where we crafted our own mosaic beauty dishes using shells and clay. It was a creative and calming way to engage with the group, strengthening connections beyond just the product launch. Balancing this trip with my previous demanding lifestyle in investment banking — often 14+ hour days — made the experience feel like a dream realized. It’s a reminder to dream big and pursue passions relentlessly. For anyone in a high-pressure career, this shift toward experiences that celebrate personal joy and creativity is truly inspiring. Dream big, corporate girlies, you never know where your hard work will take you next!

But I forgot all about it! It took literally over a year to get these samples. No email or anything from them about a package on its way! In fact, the way I found out was a school the i transferred from. I was no longer a student there!! However, I am grateful and it was a nice surprise!
