This is one of those most memorable moments...

I submitted an application to the Whole Foods Market 2025 LEAP Program.
Out of 1,600 applicants (this is super!!!), Bebot Simple Soap made it all the way to the TOP 8% which recognizes my product as one of the SEMI-FINALISTS.

Only the applicants who made it to the Top 7% goes to the Finals Round and then only 10 applicants are chosen and receive a guaranteed shelf space in all Whole Foods Market stores in the US and Canada.

Congratulations to the 10 brand winners of the 2025 LEAP Program.

It is our last week and GADZOOKS! closes its doors this Saturday.

A lot of you maybe wondering why I am closing GADZOOKS!
Shutting down GADZOOKS! is not the end. It is the beginning of something bigger.
I am pursuing a different path.

Grassroots Marketing has officially kicked off, and it's exhilarating to share my vision with others and have meaningful, in-person conversations about my product! 🧼 🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼🫧🫧🫧

Giving out samples has been an incredible experience, as I witness people's genuine enthusiasm for my product and journey. A special thank you to Samantha and Rinda (it was a joy having you both at the candy store), who approached me at the candy store this past weekend, curious about my soap business and eager to try samples for themselves and their mom.

It's enlightening to see how many people I speak with have a family member struggling with HS or other skin conditions. The openness with which people share their skin struggles, from HS to breast fungal infections and dermatitis, highlights the transformative power of genuine conversation. I deeply understand the frustration that comes with these skin conditions, and I'm grateful to those who have supported me and my family, to those who believed and continue to believe in me from the start of my journey. Your encouragement has been instrumental in fueling my passion, and I'll always appreciate it.
