Diary Entry August 17 2025

Dear Diary,

It’s Sunday, which means I was supposed to be relaxing. Instead, I decided to rebrand the glitter explosion from earlier this week as “strategic marketing.”

And honestly? I think I pulled it off.

♡ Told everyone the sparkle in their beard balm tins is a “limited-edition shimmer.” Instant luxury.

♡ Shipped out packages that looked like disco balls. Customers will either love it or file a restraining order.

♡ Added “Glitter Management Specialist” to my imaginary job title. Put it on a sticky note. It’s official.

♡ Joyce asked if I was ever going to finish cleaning. I said, “Why clean when you can sparkle?” She walked away.

Then I curled up on the curing rack for a Sunday nap, smelling like cedarwood and poor decisions, and decided I am, in fact, a business genius.

Resting, radiant, and ridiculous,
Melinda 🐒💜
