March Recap: Celebrating International Women's Day 🌟


Hi Reader,

As we bid farewell to March, we reflect on a month filled with significant milestones and memorable experiences. Without a doubt, the highlight of the month was our celebration of the 2024 International Women's Day which was put on by us through our organization Monument Women's Creative Alliance. This event brought together our community in a powerful display of unity, empowerment, and advocacy for gender equality.

From thought-provoking panel discussions to engaging activities at the Vendor Fair, the day was filled with memorable moments that will resonate with us for years to come. We witnessed the power of diversity and inclusion in driving innovation across industries, reaffirming our commitment to fostering an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

As we look back on the success of the 2024 International Women's Day Soiree, we are reminded of the incredible impact we can achieve when we come together with a shared purpose. Let us carry the spirit of empowerment and solidarity forward, continuing to advocate for gender equality in all aspects of our lives.

Hi Reader, I thought I was a savvy shopper until…the deal backfired. My family and I were in Orlando for a wedding, and we stayed a few extra days to visit Universal Studios and hang out at the beach. That meant we needed lots of sunscreen to keep us all covered. I stared at the massive sunscreen wall in Walmart, lined with rows and rows of bottles. I spotted a large bottle with a familiar name: Neutrogena. It was SPF 50, ā€œultra-sheerā€ (I hate the sticky stuff), and it came with a $2 coupon....
