Dear Babes,

Well, here we are. 2021. Wowza.

If you’re anything like me, you’re catching your breath and shaking off the collective shitstorm that was 2020. If I’m being honest, I still find myself in moments of total disbelief that so much has happened over the last year that has rattled us to the core. BUT. It’s a new year. And with that comes a new sense of optimism, purpose and perspective. And I’m ready.

I’m ready for smiles from strangers and spontaneous dance parties. I’m ready for beach vacays and sleepovers with my daughters and their friends, and long dinners with lots of wine and laughter shared among friends. Of course, I have no clue what this year will bring and whether I’ll be on any dance floors anytime soon. I do know that we have a new administration, a new Covid-19 vaccine and over at HATCH, some really pretty new dresses that I can’t wait to wear on the first warm day.

I’m ready for smiles from strangers and spontaneous dance parties.

It’s always darkest before the dawn, but we’re on the other side now. I can see the sun coming up and it’s getting lighter by the moment. So join the Babe team as we lean into optimism, joy and newness. Whether it’s through a new wellness practices, a playdate with a professional “joy therapist” or simply a cute piece of furniture that makes us smile, we’re dedicating January to hope, promise and good vibes ahead. We deserve it.

Happy new year ladies. We made it.

xoxo

Ariane
