Kim's Day in Court; $1M in Grants for Moms; Tarte Cosmetics is Hiring →
Hi! It's your BFF in biz exploring women’s experiences in entrepreneurship, venture capital, personal finance, wealth & motherhood.

Recently, a girlfriend reminded me how important it is to create special memories with the people you love, not just stack once-a-year coffee catch-ups. It was a simple reminder that connection lives in the moments we make, not the ones we politely pencil in. So go grab a disposable camera and make some forever memories this weekend! 😍

💡 This “6 things that will change your life” post is giving therapy in a Reddit thread. No fluff, just solid gold habits — and a reminder that I could really do with.
🎙️ Kayla Medica signs off from Startup 360 with a mic-drop convo featuring — shameless plug incoming — me! We talk exits, pivots, ADHD, and what women founders really want when taking the leap, with Yours Truly.
💒 The US wants to pay stay-at-home parents $5K to “boost birthrates.” Forget affordable daycare, just have more babies, right? Critics (🙋♀️) aren’t buying it, but this one’s worth watching.
👶 At the same time, shoutout to Massachusetts for topping the list of best states for working moms (meanwhile, Alabama and Nevada... not so much). New data just dropped on where women can actually thrive.
💎 I don’t know why this is tickling me, but showing up to court in $1M+ of diamonds to testify in a robbery trial and serving up forgiveness on a platter… Iconic flex. Only Kim Kardashian.

🌸 A 10% tariff hike is breaking indie perfumers. With Trump’s new trade rules small fragrance brands are scrambling to stay afloat — because when margins are razor-thin, every cent stings. Do you know someone who’s struggling?
💸 Santander’s offering a $200K grant for small businesses with a focus on diversity and inclusion. If your business is making waves in the community this could be your big break! You have until the end of June to apply.
🎟️ Nylon just soft-launched a free membership club — no paywalls, just vibes, perks, and pop-up parties. It’s giving “media girl era” with a side of main character energy.
👀 The U.S. and China just slashed tariffs for 90 days! Cheaper imports, smoother supply chains, and one less migraine for your product-based biz… for now. Big (maybe temporary?) win for indie brands shipping cross-border.
💅 I’m obsessed with this. Touchland — the chic hand sanitizer brand that made hygiene hot — just got scooped up for $700M. From Insta-girl essential to beauty empire bag: she’s officially That Girl and we need to know all the deets.
🤑 Oh…. and $1M in Business Grants for mom founders right this way:
