Hello, hello, this is Brooke DeVard and you're listening to The Naked Beauty Podcast. I just got back

from an incredible three days in Grand Cayman. Now, this hotel, it's called Palm Heights. I have never

been to a hotel quite like this. It's like the Soho House 10 times better. Every single detail is so

just considered. The rooms are gorgeous. They have a library on the property that has all of these

great fashion books, beauty books. Here's the crazy thing. Okay, listen to this. When I checked into my

room, there was a Kevin Aquan, Making Faces book, one of the greatest OG beauty books of all time.

If you don't have this book, get on eBay, it's probably even on Amazon, and get this book. It is incredible. Making Faces by Kevin Aquan, it goes through all of these just incredible makeup techniques. If you don't know who Kevin Aquan is, if he were alive today, he would have definitely been on Naked Beauty, one of the most iconic makeup artists from the 1990s. Okay. That was in my room. Then there was a book about African hair braiding and like pre-colonial African hair braiding styles who loves to change their hair more than me. I was like, wow. And I like, I was like, is this a coincidence? And they were like, no, they like research each guest and they like put the books in the room accordingly. It's on the beach, the most incredible beach. The water was just so good. I went swimming every day

two times. And then I got to do all of these really great workshops. Friend of the pod, Eric Cchiti,

led a workshop on how to live in a soft body. This whole trip was curated by Spread the Jelly.

Now, the girls from Spread the Jelly, Amaret, Lauren, have to have them on the podcast too.

They've created this whole movement about motherhood and showing how motherhood can be different, how we can be vulnerable with each other. They just do great editorial work. So follow Spread the Jelly on Instagram, if you're not already. And also, even if you're not a mom, I think it's great to follow them because they're just doing really great storytelling. And I think it really lifts the veil on so many of the things about motherhood that we don't talk about. So they curated this incredible trip and they brought maybe 10, 12 girls together. All of us on the trip had babies under one years old. Okay. So all of us were like very recently, like in the throes of motherhood. Two of the women on the trip were pregnant and it was like let's just come together and celebrate us. Let's put ourselves first. Let's put ourselves first. We got to go shopping. They have a beautiful shop on the property at Palm Heights that has like Christopher John Rogers and Marnie and Christopher Esper. They gave us each. I mean, I don't know if I should say the amount.

I guess, listen, that's a safe space here on the podcast.

They gave us each like $500 to shop at the shop on property.

They booked us all spa appointments.

Like, we all just got to do spa appointments, hang out on the beach, and then attend these

really great workshops.

I also made a new great friend, Kirst Kirsty Godso. She goes by KG.

She's an amazing trainer. She led us in a training workshop. Another trainer was there, L.A.,

who taught us a lot about how to, you know, take care of our bodies in this postpartum period.

Heavenly. Heavenly. It makes me just think about even like doing a gathering for naked beauty. Like can we all go

somewhere and have a fun time? Let me know, DM me if you think that would be cool. I left the

trip feeling so rejuvenated. But listen, couldn't leave the trip unscathed. And then on the way
