a pep & party thank you - cheers to YOU
So over here at Pep & Party, I think it’s pretty clear that we love to celebrate and cheer for others. And that’s what I’m about to spend some time doing. There are a LOT of people that are on “team P&P” that fly under the radar, so we’re about to give them a ton of shoutouts — I’m raising my glass to them, and I hope you will too!
Thank you, thank you, thank you:
Yvan: for capturing our products and brand personality behind the camera perfectly. AND for being extra flexible when products were delayed. You are beyond talented and I’m so grateful for your heart for serving our brand.
Caroline at Tiny Spark: for our logo that represents our brand and personality so well. You took my all-over-the-place Pinterest board and crafted a logo that exceeded my expectations. I am still obsessing over your PEP’R designs, too. You’re incredible.
Casey: for our branding video that tells our story perfectly. You took me under your wing and made the brand shine.
Chris: for making my hair look perfect every single time. You’ve been there since the beginning and I am SO grateful for you. One day I will be able to hire you full time ;)
Halle: For not complaining that the living room/kitchen is COVERED (every inch) in P&P for weeks at a time. For the late night brainstorming. For last minute photoshoots. For always agreeing to order DOM or fajitas. You’re my girl Hal - not ready to give you away to Nathan.
AC: what would I do without my bestie. Thanks for calling me every single morning on the way to work and for encouraging me to eat dinner out instead of meal prepping. Thanks for listening to my late night calls filled with P&P or life ideas. There’s no one I’d rather do this season with.
Del: for holding me accountable and getting me to Nerdvana that early morning that put me on this track. You are the definition of a steadfast friend. You are loyal, you are passionate and you are the best.
@MaddieTack: For walking through this season with me and speaking such truth over me. This is the bloom, sis. I just know it.
Linds: my PIC forever. Thanks for all of your help over the past few weeks. Wish you were hereeee
MG: for driving from Ft. Worth to be the best encourager there is and throwing ripped up dress shirt at my face for the best picture. You also slide into my DMs at *just* the right time. Love you forever MG.
Mere: For reminding me to water my own garden back in November that led me to THIS place. I’m forever grateful for you and to walk through this season alongside you.
Cat: for pushing me to be better (both personally and professionally) and for answering my one million marketing questions. plus for sending recipe ideas and TikToks - tbh that’s really what I’m grateful for.
HP: for being my go-to gal. miss our mall walks but weekly FT dates will do for now.
Nathan: for being my no.1 cheerleader.
Jess P: for being the first to volunteer when I need help. love you sis. glad you live closer now!!
Derrick: for recharging me every single time I talk to you. I will never be able to say how proud I am of you -- it’s almost your turn for the big day! Can’t wait to crash in DC.
Mom: for literally everything and being the first (unpaid) P&P packaging manager ;)
B: for pushing me and motivating me to dream the big dreams. thanks for walking through this with me.
MoBush: for being the BEST hype woman there is. Truly. No one sends a better text or DM than you. You keep me going.
Holly: for being an editing QUEEN. Wish we were celebrating in the doorway tonight.
Jess: for crafting the most perfect brand story for us to share. You have such a way with words.
Kyle: for being my biggest fan! Ready to be back on the sweets pact and ready to have a bb sis!!
Audrey: No one speaks life over me like you! Long walks with you are my favorite. You keep me grounded.
Redeate: For the memes and VM and texts and check-ins and walks. You are the real deal.
Trenice: You are a powerhouse and I always leave my chats with you FIRED UP.
Morgan and Chandler: for sharing the P&P news to all of your people and for toasting to me at the Pine Grove Penthouse. The best way to start off launch week!!!
Anthea: for making my entire week last week by 1. noticing that I was wearing a P&P shirt and 2. noticing that it was the new logo! thanks for keeping the big secret for a week ;)
Karlee V, Ashley K, Syd S, Emma H, LoLong, Claire C, Augusta R, Amanda H, Aria S, Angela T, Sarah H, Shane H, Matt W, KQF, Kayla A, Jenna T, Caitlyn C, Raina C, Natalie R, Katelyn N, Avery S, Katelyn B, Molly G — you’ve given me a boost whether you know it or not!
I mean. Can a girl have a better hype team than this? No. I’m the luckiest girl in the world.
I know I left so many people off of this list but it is currently 2:12am (on launch day!!!!) and I need to proof read the site and test the links one more time so that it can all go live in the AM. I love you guys. Thank you for being my people.
P.S. the Lumen Room in Plano is the DREAMIEST shoot venue.
