Speaker 1: hard for me not to talk about very hard, very hard.
Speaker 1: But we're here now and we were doing it, so
Speaker 1: let's should we They can't see it if they're listening
Speaker 1: to it. But we have behind some of our products.
Speaker 1: If you want to see that, you can't really see
Speaker 1: very good. I don't know. This is our barner. We
Speaker 1: see how pretty that is, this gold acrylic. We have
Speaker 1: it set up not as a bar right now, but
Speaker 1: we have it set up as like a dessert coffee thing.
Speaker 1: We have this beautiful cake. You want some strawberries, you know.
Speaker 1: But you know what we can do because it is
Speaker 1: a podcast. Can't pick this up? Tap on our beautiful
Speaker 1: acrylic tray please, okay, no, no, no no, no. This is

Speaker 1: your nails. You have long nails right now what lightly. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we we just got like a hundred thousand downloads and
Speaker 1: I'm not getting Yeah, you're really up with the times,
Speaker 1: not me. But that's an acrylic tray. And um, we
Speaker 1: just have a lot of things that inspired us. And
Speaker 1: while you can't see this because it's a podcast, we
Speaker 1: can tell you about some of our products. The products,
Speaker 1: the metals, the fields were all about the fields of stuff. Um,
Speaker 1: so we can talk to that. Yeah, let's talk about
Speaker 1: our products. We have a bark art. We have some
Speaker 1: illuminated hurricanes that have these beautiful um wax candles that
Speaker 1: have remote controls because they're flameless candles. We have apothecary jars,
Speaker 1: like they're so pretty, all different shapes, different sizes, and
Speaker 1: they come in smoke. They come in pink quartz, they
Speaker 1: come in clear crystal, and they're really in our emerald
Speaker 1: green emerald um. We have gold dipped gemstone boxes. We
Speaker 1: have oh ottomans, velvet ottomans, nesting ones. I love the
Speaker 1: nesting ottomans. They feel so soft and you can put
Speaker 1: stuff in them and set on them. So a big
Speaker 1: thing with us as well is obviously we wanted to
Speaker 1: create this for everyone, but We truly started with us
Speaker 1: wanting to create it for ourselves and our families and
Speaker 1: have things that are stylish but also functional. And we
Speaker 1: couldn't find things out there if there was a white space,
Speaker 1: and we do a lot of things together, and we decided, okay,
Speaker 1: let's if you make it, they will come. If you
Speaker 1: build it, they will come. That's if you build it,
Speaker 1: we will buy it. Yeah. I like that. But like
Speaker 1: our bar card, you can use the bar card for
Speaker 1: so many things. Yeah, like were we look like a
Speaker 1: bar if you use it in your bar area, but
Speaker 1: you could also use in your bathroom and put all
Speaker 1: like your little well we compare beautiful jars or etche
Speaker 1: glass jars, your makeup, sponges, cotton balls, all the things.
Speaker 1: You can use it out. You can even put like
Speaker 1: towels on it and roll it out by the pool
Speaker 1: exactly like um. You can use it in your kid's room,
Speaker 1: but your toys st bathroom closet, every actually laundry room,
Speaker 1: every room of the house. Yes, let's some that. The
Speaker 1: trunks too, I love because we have these really cute
Speaker 1: inspired like vintage inspired trunks because I don't know, I
Speaker 1: have three girls, as you guys know, and uh, they
Speaker 1: each have a keep steak trunk in the garage and
Speaker 1: they're these giant, ugly, black, awful cases. And this is uh,
Speaker 1: these are trunks that are super cute. They're like half
Speaker 1: the size of that. And you can give each of
Speaker 1: your kids to keep steak trunk and they can put
Speaker 1: all their little artwork in it, their favorite little stuffies,
Speaker 1: all the things that kids want to keep forever. I
Speaker 1: love that. What she used to do you remember, not you,
Speaker 1: but when a steamer trunk, I'm going way back. I'm
Speaker 1: talking like our grandparents, great grandparents used to do this
Speaker 1: when you raised a lady and she was betrothed. Hope
Speaker 1: chest Chess. Kids are like a little mini Hope Chests.
Speaker 1: They are. But they also are great as side tables.
Speaker 1: That's right. So you can have this beautiful side table
Speaker 1: that you're like, oh, you know, we have to cut
Speaker 1: side table but it's not very useful or has a
Speaker 1: tiny jeworer. This one opens and you can put everything
Speaker 1: in it, whether it's our throws, our pillows, or like
Speaker 1: Jim said, keepsake keepsakes or your kids toys, your dog. No,
Speaker 1: don't do that. I only say that because never the
Speaker 1: other day we were doing the photo shoot and we
Speaker 1: were having a photo shoot with all products, and uh,
Speaker 1: I opened one of the trunks and I'd scare the
Speaker 1: crap out of me because I opened it and there
Speaker 1: was a dog inside, and it looks so realistic. It
Speaker 1: was a stuffed animal, of you, but it looks so realistic.
Speaker 1: I thought it was a dog at first. And um, yeah,
Speaker 1: so Bo uses our trunks at home and hides all
Speaker 1: of his stuffed animals in our trunks, which are perfect
Speaker 1: because we say Bo, please clean up, and he does.
Speaker 1: He puts in our drunks. Catch up. Oh well, I
Speaker 1: want to talk about the products anymore. Let's talk about us.
Speaker 1: I'm tired of that. But so we've been traveling together,
Speaker 1: which we always love a good road trip together. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh. We went to New York. We did some press. Um,
Speaker 1: we did the Drew Barrymore Show, which was super fun.
Speaker 1: That's coming out later in February. We did Tammer Hall
Speaker 1: did that was great, a lot of fun stuff. And
Speaker 1: then we did a road trip where we drove from
Speaker 1: New York in the two pennsylvani eating rain and snow.
Speaker 1: It started to snow in New York, rainy, messiness, and
Speaker 1: our managers drove us down here, Patrick and Randy and
Speaker 1: it was like a road trip. We had a pizza
Speaker 1: in the car. Lola was with us as our social
Speaker 1: media coordinator. It's been a good time. M H. What
Speaker 1: do you love the most about being here at QBC?
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Okay, Well I've been watching QVC since
Speaker 1: I was a young girl. My mom used to watch QBC.
Speaker 1: My nanny used to watch, like it was always on
Speaker 1: in my house, in someone's room. So it's kind of
Speaker 1: like it reminds me. It's nostalgic because it's something that remembers,
Speaker 1: reminds me of my childhood. But then I became a
Speaker 1: fan on my own, like as a teen. Like funny
Speaker 1: thing about it, it's mesmerizing. Well, you can't stop watching
Speaker 1: and once it's on. I used to have it on
Speaker 1: like our little portable TVs in our dressing room. But
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a childhood dream, like it's QVC,
Speaker 1: their legends. Yeah, it's huge. And the thing about being
Speaker 1: here at their headquarters. Wherever you go, like to a
Speaker 1: bar or two in the hotel lobby, QVC is on
Speaker 1: a big screen somewhere wherever you are, right to be noticed.
Speaker 1: They QVC is like America's national treasure, which is kind
Speaker 1: of ironic because in somewhere way, shape or form, we're
Speaker 1: kind of national treasures. Broken that one. No, no, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna take that title on. I think something interesting
Speaker 1: about what we're doing is that we started this brand
Speaker 1: together and we've been friends for so long, and a
Speaker 1: lot of people say, like, don't go into business with
Speaker 1: your friends, that it could get messy and ugly and
Speaker 1: all that. Um, what's it been like working with me? Well,
Speaker 1: we have the opposite take on it, because our thing
Speaker 1: is always like if you're you know, work and play, Like,
Speaker 1: if you love what you do, you don't work a
Speaker 1: day in your life, right, So it's the same thing.
Speaker 1: I love my best friend, Like why wouldn't I want
Speaker 1: to work and play with her every day of my life?
Speaker 1: So it's so but also creatively, we're just really almost
Speaker 1: same page and we know each other so well. I mean,
Speaker 1: I love laughing because it's hard, you know, business and
Speaker 1: making decisions, a lot of work, it's a lot of
Speaker 1: pressure and away from your kids. So it's so nice
Speaker 1: being able to have the moments where we can just
Speaker 1: bust out lapping and then seamlessly go right back into
Speaker 1: our work and delegating. Um, I love working with you,
Speaker 1: and we're also being in in the yang of everything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. Like when we started this line, I was
Speaker 1: a little a vintage. You were a little more modern,
Speaker 1: clean lines and and but at the root of it,
Speaker 1: we have the same love. We're inspired by metals and
Speaker 1: style versus function inspired by Beverly Hills colors. We love
Speaker 1: the same colors, which just great to do a line
Speaker 1: with somebody, and like we get excited about the same things.
Speaker 1: We get these little like little happy dance for like
Speaker 1: a right tone of pink. We love the pink that
Speaker 1: we're using and the golds and the pinks and the
Speaker 1: greens together sonna make your heart happy. Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: want to make everything everywhere these colors same, BFF takeover
Speaker 1: of the world. I hope you guys are for it.
Speaker 1: Why did this? You know what? This has taken us
Speaker 1: so long? Like three years? Why has it taken this
Speaker 1: long to get our brand launched? You know, like it's
Speaker 1: been so much work, Like people don't realize how much
Speaker 1: work goes into creating a brand. UM, and it's not
Speaker 1: just a line of home decor that we're doing. We're
Speaker 1: really thinking big picture as you know what we wanted
Speaker 1: to a big picture. And also like UM products themselves
Speaker 1: take you know, they make them the turnaround and the
Speaker 1: factories and samples just like years out. And then there
Speaker 1: was the pandemic and we were supposed to launch in January.
Speaker 1: This is a fact, and we're going to tell you
Speaker 1: we couldn't get our samples and time back and forth
Speaker 1: of it all shipping, and so we pushed a whole
Speaker 1: entire year. At first, I thought that was really bad news,
Speaker 1: but in retrospect, I think that was the best thing
Speaker 1: that could have upen to us because it gave us
Speaker 1: time to get everything right perfect, Like we really perfected
Speaker 1: everything we're so we're both very detailed oriented, which is
Speaker 1: great UM and yeah, so when you make items, like
Speaker 1: when you buy something at a store, you have no
Speaker 1: idea how long one little like candle or jar took
Speaker 1: to make and get right at Ears and then and
Speaker 1: then our team at QBC has been incredible like helping us, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, taking our vision and helping us get our
Speaker 1: samples produced and made and going back and forth and
Speaker 1: really kept like jumping on our train. I know a
Speaker 1: lot of people ask like, you know, did you work
Speaker 1: with a designer who helped you do all this? While
Speaker 1: we have our team at QBC, Jen and I literally
Speaker 1: did every single thing ourselves. Like we started on the
Speaker 1: office floor of Jen's house, like sitting there with a
Speaker 1: white board, computer up, phones up, a bag of chips,
Speaker 1: bag and ships. She always feeds me it's good, thank you,
Speaker 1: and um whiteboard markers contry. Yeah. We both would bring
Speaker 1: things we loved from our house and then we'd be like,
Speaker 1: I love this and this is what I like about this,
Speaker 1: and then we merge it and we come up with
Speaker 1: new things. We had our Pantone wheel we did Um okay,
Speaker 1: let's tell them also a little bit about like the
Speaker 1: price points of our products and like that there's stuff
Speaker 1: in our collection that that kind of gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: appeal to different people and there's something for every budget
Speaker 1: in there. I feel like, don't you a thousand percent? Um,
Speaker 1: But our products are super high quality. That was super
Speaker 1: important as well, that you know they're not beautiful and
Speaker 1: then you get them, you know those things that look
Speaker 1: beautiful and then you pick it up in a store
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, it just doesn't feel expensive. Our
Speaker 1: stuff feels expensive because it's all made with quality ingredients,
Speaker 1: like baking it with love. But they're the one that's
Speaker 1: standing out for me right now is the gold Dip
Speaker 1: Gemstone Keepsakebox. It's when you hold the little keepsake box,
Speaker 1: it's so smooth and beautiful and just the inside is
Speaker 1: in velvet, the bottoms in velvet. It's just everything's taken
Speaker 1: care of and like the flushed hinges are beautiful. Um.
Speaker 1: We picked every single detail that's on every single item
Speaker 1: with love and care, and there's everything from you know,
Speaker 1: something in forty eight dollar range to the two or
Speaker 1: eighty dollar range. Yep, something for everyone. We hope you
Speaker 1: guys love it. We really really put a lot of
Speaker 1: our hearts and souls into all of it, and we
Speaker 1: hope you love it. We know you will. We do m.
