The 14th Friday four of 2024

Happy Friday! Let’s get into the 4 highlights for this week’s Friday Four:

1. Did you know that today is Sweets for Success? It’s an annual dessert auction to support Main Street West Branch! Bid on all your favorites TODAY from 4pm until 8:30pm. You can pick up your goodies tomorrow morning or they will deliver to you! View and bid at 32auctions.com/sweets24, and there will be some special Tura Lura Co. yummies to bid on!

2. Speaking of West Branch, I love my new studio spot! So many faces are popping in to say hello during open hours. For folks who have been on the journey with me the last two years, you know that I always wanted a studio space so I could host more types of gatherings. I just added something special to the calendar, a summer series focused on cultivating! This will be a mixture of education and Strengths Based Leadership reflection, with an artistic project each session to accompany the work. Tentative details are listed on the website, and you can sign up to learn more.

3. Tura Lura Co. roots are in making candles, and the Candle Pour Bars are still going strong! With the new spring season upon us, the fragrances have expanded to include 46 scents available at the studio in West Branch. You can see what’s in stock here. It also includes an expanded amount of reed diffuser smells, just look for the * next to the oil for eligible aromas.

4. On a different note, I am feeling really grateful this week. There is so much to learn in the world of having a small business (and just the world in general), I’ve had to seek out opportunities for growth and mentorship. And I’m so fortunate for Builder & Backers in my entrepreneurial journey. These are the coaches who helped me test ideas when I was getting started with Tura Lura Co. and who are with me again in this new phase of my business journey. It’s been invigorating to invest time and energy with the program, and to get feedback from someone who cares. Things in business (and life) can feel lonely sometimes, and I hope you have someone you are learning from and growing with.

GO HAWKS!
