Beep Beep. 🚚 We are thrilled to announce that you can now shop NOPALERA's entire assortment on Ulta.com! After running a post-purchase survey on our website for over a year asking our customers where they want to buy Nopalera, the answer was crystal clear: ULTA. We were not surprised. Ulta Beauty has always been a space that celebrates beauty across generations — mothers, daughters, and grandmothers alike. At Nopalera, we share that same value.  ¡Toda la familia likes to look good and smell good! :) Every new launch is a big lift. This would not have been possible without the incredible teamwork on both sides. Shout out to the Nopalera team, Priscilla Camacho, Beverly Paz, Sam Perez, Edith Castro, Amanda Lopez. And to the Ulta Beauty Team Muffy Clince, Blythe Fallon, Zach Levin, and more! We’re thrilled to now be at Ulta in both Mexico and the U.S., sharing our Modern Mexican Beauty with the world. https://lnkd.in/eBBJGm2W

One of my fave events of the year - the Women’s Venture Summit! #wvs2025 An inspiring gathering of founders and investors with relevant content in these evolving markets. I moderated an amazing panel of successful founders Sharon K. Gillenwater , Callie Christensen and Kelly Oriard who shared their stories of scaling, funding and what’s next. I always get to see dear old and new friends, including Tawnya Falkner , Stephanie Granato , Ann E. Metzger , Joanne Fedeyko and so many more! Thank you Silvia Mah PhD, MBA and the fantastic team at Stella Foundation !! See you again next year!

I loved Dia Bondi's presentation at this year's Women's Venture Summit, especially her take on asking like an auctioneer. When an auctioneer takes the mic, there’s no hesitation. Every word lands with purpose. Every ask is bold. And when they call out a number, they expect a response... not because they’re arrogant, but because they’re certain of their value. That’s the real lesson. Confidence isn’t about talking louder. It’s about asking like you expect a yes. It’s a mindset shift that changes how you pitch, present, and lead. The more you own your value, the more others rise to meet it. If you’ve ever second-guessed your ask, this one’s for you ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gpEUtkFn #WVS #WomensVentureSummit
