There She Goes: Love Your Love
Hello & Happy Wednesday!
I hope that you are having a wonderful week thus far and I hope that today’s newsletter will make it even better! We have some snow in Denver, which I am totally loving! My partner, pup, and I were able to get out on our snowshoes last weekend and it was such a blast.
Also, I wanted to share with you a recent article I wrote about What I Learned In A Year As A Solopreneur. Perhaps my story will help you if you're jumping into entrepreneurship, or perhaps it will demystify any notions that being a solopreneur is all fun & freedom. Either way, I’ll leave it here for you to check out 😏
This week I had planned to tell you about the killer collaboration with Thorn Alexander and Sh*t That I Knit — Love Your Love Clutch Kit x Sh*t That I Knit — but they sold out in under two hours!! More kits will be available this summer.
To keep the good things going, 15% of ALL sales sitewide will be donated to LGBTQ2ia+ youth and their families for the rest of the month!
Let’s jump into the good stuff! Want to head right to the shop? Click here!

Instant Family (film)- I remember seeing Iliza Shlezinger in the Newbury St. Lululemon (Boston) when she was filming this movie and it took every bone in my body to "be chill" and pretend like I wasn't fangirling inside. Don't worry, I left her alone as I cheesed my way through a pile of leggings. I love how this film normalizes adoption and felt like it was done in a really wonderful way. I also love Octavia Spencer!!
Bridgerton (books) I'm officially on the Bridgerton by Julia Quinn train and downloaded the first three books, starting with The Duke and I. I'm only a few chapters in and wish I had read them before watching the show. Will be sure to read ahead before the next season!
Blown Away Season 2 on Netflix (series): This show is DELIGHTFUL and I was so stoked to learn a second season had just been released!! It's like a cooking show, but for glass blowers. Growing up going to Simon Pearce, I have always loved the art of glass blowing. Learn the ins and outs of such a stunning art form in two creative seasons.
