He wanted men’s suits. Macy’s made Carlos Timiraos, now Founding Partner at @fatmermaidco , a department manager in women’s handbags instead, and it became one of his big life lessons.

The head of human resources closed the door to her office and sat him down. He was running a business, she told him. He was there to drive sales.

Two or three months later, he knew strap length and clutches better than anyone.

“You’re running a business. The widgets themselves don’t matter.”

Last week I was invited to speak at St. John's University Manahattan campus as part of the LUX 101 speaker series.

Fun fact: I am older than PowerPoint and earned my degree without one group project or presentation. So you can imagine I was a little nervous being back on a college campus!

But these students were an amazing audience. They spanned different disciplines (although many were studying marketing), first year through fourth year students, and they had many great questions!

We explored PIMS' processes, client collaboration, risk management, and a bit of my own personal career journey. It was a real pleasure giving my first ever "college" presentation to this incredible group of St. John's students.

Viva Las Vegas! 🎲✨ Cosmoprof was a total whirlwind, and I’m still buzzing!
Running a business is hard work, but it is a whole lot sweeter when you’re doing it with the absolute best people by your side. 💖 Big love and a huge thank you to Lisa and the crew for bringing us all together, you outdid yourselves!
CosmoProf rolled out an amazing new podcast setup on the show floor this year, and I am so thrilled they invited Coffee N5 to be a part of the lineup! 🎙️☕️ It was such a blast recording right in the middle of the action. Thank you for including us!
Between the CEW events and discovering new innovations, my heart is totally full. And of course, we couldn’t leave without celebrating in style! Hosting our evening hangout at the Chandelier Bar alongside our amazing partners was pure magic. Huge thank you to everyone who came to hang out, share a drink, and catch up—the vibes and the laughs were completely unmatched! 🥂✨
Cheers to the laughs, the new partnerships, and the creative growth ahead. See you next time, Vegas! 👋🏼

Every year BeautyMatter publishes the FUTURE50 — the brands to know and watch as they define the landscape today and tomorrow.

Being in that room in New York means reading the signals before they become trends.

What I took away: the brands on that list aren’t just well-formulated. They’re well-positioned. The story around the product is doing as much work as the product itself.
That gap between science and story is where the next wave of beauty is being built. 🌹

Cosmoprof Miami was an incredible whirlwind, but as I reflect on the week, the standout moments didn’t happen in the exhibition halls—they happened in the conversations.

Being in Miami reminded me that the real heart of our industry is the community. Whether we were catching up on the deck of a yacht or sharing a long dinner after the show, the opportunity to simply talk and connect with my peers was the real highlight.

This industry is built on the strength of its people. I’m heading home feeling energized, not just by the trends I saw, but by the brilliant and supportive community I’m lucky enough to be a part of. It’s the shared ideas and the genuine connections that make these events so special.
