Why I Created the 7 Day Glow Collective (and What It Has to Do with Skincare)

Life doesn’t always go as planned.

If you’ve been with me for a while, you already know that — from my grandson Gavin’s diagnosis and liver transplant journey, to my own health journey last year with two major surgeries, to the many pivots I’ve made with 7 Day Glow, and even earlier with my first company, The Brown Barn Company. What’s carried me through it all is one word: flexibility.

That word is woven into everything I do—especially in how I care for myself, and how I create products and experiences for others.

The Idea Behind the Collective

The 7 Day Glow Collective was born from a deep need I felt in my own life — not just for great skincare, but for sustainable self-care. The kind that fits into real life. A life with ups and downs, family needs, unexpected appointments, messy days, and beautiful ones too.

I wanted to create a space that encourages skincare as a self-care ritual instead of a routine. A space that supports your body, your home, and your heart. One that makes glow and grace accessible—even when life isn’t picture-perfect. And most importantly, something that offers a gentle sense of rhythm and community without pressure or performance.

What Is the 7 Day Glow Collective?

The 7 Day Glow Collective is a digital membership designed to support whole-self care through skincare, wellness, and ritual. It includes monthly downloadable self-care and skincare guides built around central monthly themes, plus exclusive access to digital tools, courses, guidance, and 7 Day Glow product discounts.

Each month, members receive a large bundle of goodies including:

• A themed Glow Guide with simple daily prompts and ideas for self-care

• A skincare-focused video course or mini-training to use right now

• Access to exclusive printable tools and ritual cards

• A rotating selection of six 7 Day Glow products offered at 30% off

• Occasional member-only extras like glow trackers, screen savers, and small surprises - whatever the theme inspires me to create for you

Past member favorites have included Glow Sips printable tea recipe cards, the Self-Care Sunday Ritual Box, and our Tiny Text Love Notes. This month, members are enjoying 30% off INFUSE Face Oil, NURTURE Moisturizer, and other popular essentials for spring skin renewal.

The Collective is entirely digital, self-paced, and intentionally simple—no logins, no social platform, and no pressure. And for a limited time - just $7/month, cancel anytime. 

Why Start With Skincare?

Skincare is often where self-care begins.

It’s one of the few daily habits we do while looking directly at ourselves. It’s quiet. It’s grounding. And when done with intention, it becomes a moment of returning to yourself.

That’s what the 7 Day Glow Collective supports. Yes, we talk about ingredients, regimens, and skin goals. But we also talk about rest, water, movement, light, food, and home—because your glow doesn’t come from a single product. It comes from how you care for yourself as a whole person.

Why Now?

Launching the Collective has been a long time coming. I’ve wanted to create something like this for years — something more sustainable, with deeper impact for our lovely customers than just selling products. Something that lives with you instead of asking for perfection from you. Something you can return to again and again in your own time, at your own pace, to meet your own needs.

Something that makes a real impact — not just on your skin, but in your life.

I hope the Collective feels like a gentle invitation to return to yourself. To learn, reflect, and glow in ways that feel personal and true.

Thank you for being here.

Thank you for supporting me through the hard seasons.

And thank you for allowing me to support you as you build your own glow—day by day, in the life you’re already living.
