Hi Out Of Office Crew! 🩷
Hope you’re all doing well! I really don’t have too much to report this week. I worked. Then I worked. Procrastinated. And worked some more.
Although I did have a great day today! I went to the Dior Cafe to celebrate a little anniversary.. 🤭 And then I found out I hit 1000 subscribers to this newsletter!! This was a goal I had set for this year, so I’m super happy and proud I reached it!
I started this newsletter over a year ago, so growth has been slow but steady. And sometimes I felt a bit demotivated, although I do really enjoy creating this newsletter every week (I haven’t skipped a single week in 51 weeks! 👀). Reaching 1000 therefor feels like a bit of confirmation that it’s working and people are enjoying it 😊 💕
So thank you for reading this every week, and here’s to 1000 more! 🤭🤭🎉✨
Let’s get to the dealssssss
