23 years in the #beautyPR game, + I *still* get shivers when a client wins a beauty award... esp. when said award is Allure #bestofbeauty. Congrats, Versed Skincare -- we did it! allure.com/best-of-beauty…

“here we are, during our waking hours, doing the damn thing scared. And if it doesn’t work out? The good news is that the worst failures tend to make for the best stories.” Proud of you, ⁦Zoe⁩ ! open.substack.com/pub/zoeweiner/…
