August 08, 2023 Founder Diaries: Tell your story
Why do we wait to be given the opportunity to tell our story? Typically, it's only when we are applying for a job and tasked with updating our resume and CV. Why don't we tell more stories about our experiences? Write them down, find patterns and connections. You'll spark more curiousity within yourself and maybe even inspire someone else. Thank you to Andrew Lewin, my fellow landlocked ocean lover and conservationist who gave me the opportunity to tell the diving side of my story.
From marketing wine to marketing water 🌊

July 23, 2023 Founder Diaries: #gololess like Barbie
#HeyBarbie How are your legs so smooth with no razor burn, bumps, ingrown hairs? #gololess like Barbie
We asked the original queen of dry shaving about her pain points. She said: "I'm always on the go and don't have access to water. I'm sick of wreaking havoc on my skin when I need a quickie shave off to chase my next adventure, and I want to reduce the amount of plastic in my everyday life."
Just a quickie reflection honoring the iconic toy that makes us feel like we can be and do anything.
Less water: Barbie's world is a waterless world.
Less plastic: Life in plastic? Not fantastic! Mattel created Barbie loves the Ocean, a line of Barbies in ocean careers using PCR plastic.
Less waste: Hand your Barbies down to the next generation. Sell them on consignment or donate the dolls to the next loving family.

July 07, 2023 Founder Diaries: The why behind the waterless wave
#heyamanda When things get hard, always remember WHY you got started...

🎥🎬 Storytime: The Why Behind the Waterless Wave 💙🌊 I worked with @lightkeyphotography to capture the essence and vision for loless last August. It was serendipitous timing as I met them hours after I got off the plane at the end of April and knew that I needed Jian's creative direction.

My first round of samples had made it past customs, and you can see those in the video. There were several moments when I questioned whether or not this video would ever see the light of day. It felt very personal; and I wasn't sure if it would resonate with the conservation community. But I found my place, aligned to the #UNOceanDecade #challenge7 - to create an inspiring and engaging ocean.

Meet the why behind loless, my founder inspiration for designing a circular, blue beauty brand championing and changing humanity's relationship to the ocean. Telling stories, rebranding the big blue, and connecting to water - this is my focus.
It's time to #gololess - Let's keep you smooth and the ocean clean 💙🌊🪒

Thank you to everyone that deciding on water has connected me to. It has been an incredible journey to date of personal and professional growth, and I can not wait to continue to make waves through my work, in my own life and in the world.

July 04, 2023 Founder Diaries: Product Development & Innovation with AXE Body Spray's Global Brand Director
Hey there! Morning thoughts on this 4th of July, 2023 about which direction to go next. Deciding to design a circular, blue beauty company requires unlearning alot of what I've known and relying on trusted experts in science, sustainable development, product innovation and supply chain management.
In the words of Maya Angelou, "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better."

Meet the next (human) body of water to join me on the Bodies of Water podcast, Erica Gittens - A mindfulness artist and founder of AURA BODY+HOME, a space for Yoga, Meditation, and Mindfulness. Through movement and stillness, Erica creates imaginative, mindful experiences to support the connection of mind and body as an act of self-love.
