Happy Sunday friend!
Can I just start by telling you how much I absolutely love these Good News updates? It's such a heartwarming way to wind down a busy week. Celebrating everyone's wins together is such a treat!
If you have good news you want to share, I really hope you'll join our Facebook group. We make a post each week where everyone gets to contribute their news (for this email) and the rest of the community gets to share in the excitement. I personally think this is awesome because sometimes I have really good news that I'm so excited about, but I've already shared it with the 4 other people who would actually care. π This community is definitely that outlet for me to feel like what I'm excited about really does matter and I know you're going to feel the same. So if you're not part of the group yet, here's your invitation. We'd love to see you!
Before I jump into this week's awesome news, I have three quick things I need to share with you.
1. Remembrance Week: This week is, without a doubt, the hardest one of the year for us to create. Made to help us remember those we've loved and lost, each piece was created to give you peace as you deal with all the emotions that come with loss. I'll be honest, I hope you never have to get anything at all from this set, because I know the hurt that comes from it. Just know that when you're ready, these little hugs were made with the utmost care (and a lot of tears) as we worked to create something worthy of those you miss the most. Here's a link to the collection in case you missed them.
2. An upcoming app-exclusive release: A special ZOX app-exclusive design is coming on Tuesday! Make sure you have the app downloaded, and notifications turned on before this Tuesday at 11:00 AM CT. If you don't have the app, you can download it here. This special design has three unique colorways, each with a different level of rarity, so trust me when I say you won't want to miss out!
3. The ZOX Community raised an incredible $36,690 for California Fire Victims! bWe donated the money to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Pasadena and Malibu, The Community Brigade, and the Pasadena Humane Society. Kara has already talked to all these organizations and they were so, so grateful. Really proud of our community coming together to show how much we care! ❤️
