‘Twas a hectic morning at the SoHo HQ of New York’s coolest beauty startup, Glossier.
The company was about to launch three new flavors of everyone’s favorite (and my personal addiction) Balm Dotcom – a yummy moisturizing and healing balm that can be applied on every part of your body, from lips and cheeks to sores and cuticles (fave in-flight move).
The flavors were Cherry, Rose and Mint. Naturally, as soon as I heard about it, I had to turn it into a breakfast. Then this happened ☟
Shortly after, I found myself standing in the middle of Glossier’s pastel perfect office, throwing a surprise breakfast party for 45 people. It included Cherry, Rose & Mint Parfaits and a mindful reminder to treat your breakfast as an opportunity to be present, breathe slowly and treat yo-self with love first thing in the AM.

Here are some photos from the magical morning at Glossier and recipe for the Balm Dotcom-inspired Cherry, Rose & Mint Parfait.
