It’s no secret that we are all about fostering creativity, which is why we are so excited about an upcoming conference we’re proud to be a part of. We have teamed up with General Assembly to create Made in San Francisco, a creative conference that is coming to you live next week, Tuesday, June 21, to give you tons of info on all the rad things that are created in this awesome city. The day will be filled with some of the Bay Area’s best makers and shakers in arts, entertainment, fashion, food and beverage that are ready to boost your creativity with everything from fun workshops to engaging panels.
We want you to join us IRL, too! All you have to do is sign up HERE for a day that your friends will definitely be envious of (if they can’t make it, of course!). With free panels ranging in topic from fashion entrepreneurship to building a brand on Instagram to a free watercolor lettering workshop led by our very own Rosee Canfield, there really is no reason not to attend.
Are you as excited as we are? Well if so, then don’t forget to sign up HERE.
P.S. Make sure to save the date for Re:Make 2016!
P.P.S. We’re excited to partner with Curate snacks for this event – you may have seen them on our site a few times recently. It’s a new line of snack bars that combine tasty ingredients in surprising ways. They’ve shared bars with us, so give them a try and let them know what you think with #TasteCurate

Back in January, we introduced you to a feel-good cause to inspire your New Year's resolution: a walking challenge to help raise funds for the amazing cancer fighters at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I took part in the challenge with the Brit + Co team and ended up walking 105+ miles in January — it was awesome.
This spring, there's a new challenge on the horizon, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Big Climb. The ask: On May 15, 2021, you can step up to take cancer down by committing to climb 1,311 steps, walking 3.2 miles, or doing 440 chair step-ups at home as part of the Big Climb. If you need some motivation to bring movement back into your daily routine — look no further!
As always, it's free to sign up, but climbers are encouraged to set a fundraising goal to help beat cancer. We'll be organizing another Brit + Co team to step up, and I hope you'll join us too! Keep scrolling for a peek at where I'll be completing the challenge in my Los Angeles neighborhood around the hidden Silver Lake Stairs. Happy climbing!
Never underestimate the power of an accountability buddy! I asked my in-laws, my partner, and a few friends to join me so we can keep each other motivated and accountable in completing the challenge — virtual high-fives all around! Also, my dog Fox is a great climber, too.
An aesthetically pleasing backdrop is a huge motivator for me! I'm fortunate to have all sorts of painted steps around my neighborhood to keep the challenge interesting, but you can also keep cool inside with at-home chair step-ups.
Don't forget to share your progress on social — #BigClimb!
Feel free to break the challenge up if you need to by tackling half the distance in the AM and half at sunset. Here's me 1,311 steps later and ready for a break — but, think I earned this one!
