As Thanksgiving rounds the corner, I want to send a big, squishy thank you to each of you. Your trust—sharing your skincare wins and challenges with us, and choosing our family business to pamper your skin—means the world. Truly, you’re the pumpkin spice in our fall (comforting, classic, and maybe slightly addictive).

I’ve got a whole bounty of blessings to count: my fantastic family and good health (knock on wood!), our home in the stunning North Georgia mountains where Mother Nature changes outfits every season, and my mini urban-farm life. Yes, I’m basically a farmer some days! I grow herbs, fruits, veggies, and enough Echinacea to start a small flower farm. In fact, keeping with our decade-long tradition, we’re sharing Echinacea seed packets from our garden again this year. And our Lavender Delight Body Scrub even uses our own garden-grown lavender—it’s Thanksgiving for your skin.

P.S. The garden is smaller this year thanks to my pickleball obsession… and I regret nothing. I’ve made so many new friends, collected a few medals, and spent countless happy hours outside moving my body. Worth every zucchini I didn’t plant. 🏓🌿

This year brought big adventures, too. We checked off bucket-list wonders—Grand Canyon, Lower Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Cusco, and Machu Picchu—and soaked it all in with our still-at-home kiddo, Sofia. She’s now knee-deep in college applications and dreaming of Georgia Tech. If you have a second, send a positive thought or prayer her way; I’m a big believer in the power of collective good energy.

I’m also so grateful we spent Mother’s Day with my mom and both kids (no small feat across three states!) and that my son took precious time to tour colleges with his sister. Heart full.

We also faced heartache. We unexpectedly lost our beloved Rottweiler, Tulip, after a brief and mysterious illness. Our hearts still ache. Soon after, we rescued and welcomed Tahoe to keep Sage company, and our four-legged therapists continue to bring daily joy and unconditional love.

To our amazing Team: I’m endlessly grateful for you. Your dedication, loyalty, and heart shape everything we do. You’re not just employees—you’re family—and your effort and integrity are the quiet superpowers behind every jar we craft.

I try to start each day steeped in gratitude—it’s the magic ingredient of life, especially when things get tough. This Thanksgiving, I hope you’ll hunt for the golden nuggets in your own day—no matter how small. A quiet walk. One extra piece of fruit. A minute of deep, positive reflection. It all adds up, penny by penny, to nourish body, mind, and spirit.

So again, a huge thank you for being part of our journey. Crafting skinfood for you is my passion and joy. Here’s to you, and to caring for our skin and our souls—together. Your support makes everything possible, and I’m deeply grateful for you. Wishing you a holiday season filled with love, laughter, and the kind of memories you replay all year.

With much love and thanks,
Sandra (and the SanRe family) 💚
