Hey everyone, welcome to our quarter three, 2024 review. Let's dig into what happened here at Cubicle to CEO in the months of July, August, and September 24.

This may be our shortest and sweetest quarterly review ever simply because of life.

Life really took center stage in quarter three of this year.

And in particular, my attention and focus this summer really revolved around preparing

for and competing at Mrs. America.

This was a big life event for me. I've never competed at a national level for a pageant.

In fact, this year was the first time I had ever competed in a pageant period,

but I had the extreme honor of representing Oregon as Mrs. Oregon, America, at the national level at Mrs. America.

And this was a 10-day competition in Vegas. And, you know, it's interesting looking back because

the competition happened at the end of August, right? But we left for Vegas in mid-August.

And last year in August, I got married. So two summers in a row, I had a really

big life event happen in August. And even though the physical competition only took 10 days of my time,

my attention was really shifted to preparing for this because there was so much preparation

that went into

these 10 days from a shopping perspective, packing perspective, and then actual competition preparation,

right? Walking practice, interview practice, all of the things. And so looking back at July and

August, I really give myself a lot of grace for letting myself really be focused on this

once in a lifetime experience and knowing that the business did take a little bit of a backseat

during the summer. I decided very last minute that I wanted to host a special flash sale.

I actually, I don't think I've ever hosted a sale before for the 4th of July.

So this was my first time doing that.
