It's very exciting around here. There's a lot of buzz because we have our big live UM telecast tonight, so technically we are in west Chester, Pennsylvania Eagles territory. You're familiar with the ball at all, and tonight at a p m. Eastern Standard time, we are live. Oh my god, QBC. You guys, this is three years in the making. Well this is thirty three years and I'm making like that's

when we became friends. But yeah, we've been working on on a on a home decor line and we've been working on building a brand for the last three years. It's called the BFF Collection, and we're so excited to get to share it with everybody, and we're so excited to get to kind of talk about it with you. Guys are nine o two and OMG loves right. I mean, we share so much with you, guys. You're so important to us, and we've been wanting to tell you about

this for so long, and we we couldn't. We had to keep it under wraps, which you guys know, it's hard for me not to talk about very hard, very hard. But we're here now and we were doing it, so let's should we They can't see it if they're listening to it. But we have behind some of our products. If you want to see that, you can't really see very good. I don't know. This is our barner. We

see how pretty that is, this gold acrylic. We have it set up not as a bar right now, but we have it set up as like a dessert coffee thing. We have this beautiful cake. You want some strawberries, you know. But you know what we can do because it is a podcast. Can't pick this up? Tap on our beautiful acrylic tray please, okay, no, no, no no, no. This is called smr J and it's it's the trend and you just lightly tap and people love it. Do it with

your nails. You have long nails right now what lightly. Okay, Yeah, we we just got like a hundred thousand downloads and I'm not getting Yeah, you're really up with the times, not me. But that's an acrylic tray. And um, we just have a lot of things that inspired us. And while you can't see this because it's a podcast, we can tell you about some of our products. The products, the metals, the fields were all about the fields of stuff. Um, so we can talk to that. Yeah, let's talk about

our products. We have a bark art. We have some illuminated hurricanes that have these beautiful um wax candles that have remote controls because they're flameless candles. We have apothecary jars, like they're so pretty, all different shapes, different sizes, and they come in smoke. They come in pink quartz, they come in clear crystal, and they're really in our emerald green emerald um. We have gold dipped gemstone boxes. We have oh ottomans, velvet ottomans, nesting ones. I love the

nesting ottomans. They feel so soft and you can put stuff in them and set on them. So a big thing with us as well is obviously we wanted to create this for everyone, but We truly started with us wanting to create it for ourselves and our families and have things that are stylish but also functional. And we couldn't find things out there if there was a white space, and we do a lot of things together, and we decided, okay, let's if you make it, they will come. If you

build it, they will come. That's if you build it, we will buy it. Yeah. I like that. But like our bar card, you can use the bar card for so many things. Yeah, like were we look like a bar if you use it in your bar area, but you could also use in your bathroom and put all like your little well we compare beautiful jars or etche glass jars, your makeup, sponges, cotton balls, all the things. You can use it out. You can even put like towels on it and roll it out by the pool

exactly like um. You can use it in your kid's room, but your toys st bathroom closet, every actually laundry room, every room of the house. Yes, let's some that. The trunks too, I love because we have these really cute inspired like vintage inspired trunks because I don't know, I have three girls, as you guys know, and uh, they each have a keep steak trunk in the garage and they're these giant, ugly, black, awful cases. And this is uh, these are trunks that are super cute. They're like half

the size of that. And you can give each of your kids to keep steak trunk and they can put all their little artwork in it, their favorite little stuffies, all the things that kids want to keep forever. I love that. What she used to do you remember, not you, but when a steamer trunk, I'm going way back. I'm talking like our grandparents, great grandparents used to do this when you raised a lady and she was betrothed. Hope chest Chess. Kids are like a little mini Hope Chests.

They are. But they also are great as side tables. That's right. So you can have this beautiful side table that you're like, oh, you know, we have to cut side table but it's not very useful or has a tiny jeworer. This one opens and you can put everything in it, whether it's our throws, our pillows, or like Jim said, keepsake keepsakes or your kids toys, your dog. No,

don't do that. I only say that because never the other day we were doing the photo shoot and we were having a photo shoot with all products, and uh, I opened one of the trunks and I'd scare the crap out of me because I opened it and there was a dog inside, and it looks so realistic. It was a stuffed animal, of you, but it looks so realistic.

I thought it was a dog at first. And um, yeah, so Bo uses our trunks at home and hides all of his stuffed animals in our trunks, which are perfect because we say Bo, please clean up, and he does. He puts in our drunks. Catch up. Oh well, I want to talk about the products anymore. Let's talk about us. I'm tired of that. But so we've been traveling together, which we always love a good road trip together. Oh

my gosh. We went to New York. We did some press. Um, we did the Drew Barrymore Show, which was super fun. That's coming out later in February. We did Tammer Hall did that was great, a lot of fun stuff. And then we did a road trip where we drove from New York in the two pennsylvani eating rain and snow. It started to snow in New York, rainy, messiness, and our managers drove us down here, Patrick and Randy and it was like a road trip. We had a pizza in the car. Lola was with us as our social

media coordinator. It's been a good time. M H. What do you love the most about being here at QBC? Oh my goodness. Okay, Well I've been watching QVC since I was a young girl. My mom used to watch QBC. My nanny used to watch, like it was always on in my house, in someone's room. So it's kind of like it reminds me. It's nostalgic because it's something that remembers, reminds me of my childhood. But then I became a fan on my own, like as a teen. Like funny

thing about it, it's mesmerizing. Well, you can't stop watching and once it's on. I used to have it on like our little portable TVs in our dressing room. But it's kind of like a childhood dream, like it's QVC, their legends. Yeah, it's huge. And the thing about being here at their headquarters. Wherever you go, like to a bar or two in the hotel lobby, QVC is on a big screen somewhere wherever you are, right to be noticed.

They QVC is like America's national treasure, which is kind of ironic because in somewhere way, shape or form, we're kind of national treasures. Broken that one. No, no, I'm not gonna take that title on. I think something interesting about what we're doing is that we started this brand together and we've been friends for so long, and a lot of people say, like, don't go into business with your friends, that it could get messy and ugly and

all that. Um, what's it been like working with me? Well, we have the opposite take on it, because our thing is always like if you're you know, work and play, Like, if you love what you do, you don't work a day in your life, right, So it's the same thing. I love my best friend, Like why wouldn't I want to work and play with her every day of my life? So it's so but also creatively, we're just really almost

same page and we know each other so well. I mean, I love laughing because it's hard, you know, business and making decisions, a lot of work, it's a lot of pressure and away from your kids. So it's so nice being able to have the moments where we can just bust out lapping and then seamlessly go right back into our work and delegating. Um, I love working with you, and we're also being in in the yang of everything. Yeah, that's true. Like when we started this line, I was

a little a vintage. You were a little more modern, clean lines and and but at the root of it, we have the same love. We're inspired by metals and style versus function inspired by Beverly Hills colors. We love the same colors, which just great to do a line with somebody, and like we get excited about the same things. We get these little like little happy dance for like a right tone of pink. We love the pink that we're using and the golds and the pinks and the

greens together sonna make your heart happy. Yeah, I just want to make everything everywhere these colors same, BFF takeover of the world. I hope you guys are for it. Why did this? You know what? This has taken us so long? Like three years? Why has it taken this long to get our brand launched? You know, like it's been so much work, Like people don't realize how much work goes into creating a brand. UM, and it's not

just a line of home decor that we're doing. We're really thinking big picture as you know what we wanted to a big picture. And also like UM products themselves take you know, they make them the turnaround and the factories and samples just like years out. And then there was the pandemic and we were supposed to launch in January. This is a fact, and we're going to tell you we couldn't get our samples and time back and forth of it all shipping, and so we pushed a whole

entire year. At first, I thought that was really bad news, but in retrospect, I think that was the best thing that could have upen to us because it gave us time to get everything right perfect, Like we really perfected everything we're so we're both very detailed oriented, which is great UM and yeah, so when you make items, like when you buy something at a store, you have no idea how long one little like candle or jar took to make and get right at Ears and then and

then our team at QBC has been incredible like helping us, uh, you know, taking our vision and helping us get our samples produced and made and going back and forth and really kept like jumping on our train. I know a lot of people ask like, you know, did you work with a designer who helped you do all this? While we have our team at QBC, Jen and I literally

did every single thing ourselves. Like we started on the office floor of Jen's house, like sitting there with a white board, computer up, phones up, a bag of chips, bag and ships. She always feeds me it's good, thank you, and um whiteboard markers contry. Yeah. We both would bring things we loved from our house and then we'd be like, I love this and this is what I like about this, and then we merge it and we come up with

new things. We had our Pantone wheel we did Um okay, let's tell them also a little bit about like the price points of our products and like that there's stuff in our collection that that kind of gonna, you know, appeal to different people and there's something for every budget in there. I feel like, don't you a thousand percent? Um,

But our products are super high quality. That was super important as well, that you know they're not beautiful and then you get them, you know those things that look beautiful and then you pick it up in a store and you're like, oh, it just doesn't feel expensive. Our stuff feels expensive because it's all made with quality ingredients, like baking it with love. But they're the one that's standing out for me right now is the gold Dip

Gemstone Keepsakebox. It's when you hold the little keepsake box, it's so smooth and beautiful and just the inside is in velvet, the bottoms in velvet. It's just everything's taken care of and like the flushed hinges are beautiful. Um. We picked every single detail that's on every single item with love and care, and there's everything from you know, something in forty eight dollar range to the two or eighty dollar range. Yep, something for everyone. We hope you

guys love it. We really really put a lot of our hearts and souls into all of it, and we hope you love it. We know you will. We do m.
