What We Value

We believe: relationships make us who we are / the real you is worth knowing / your uniqueness is your power / healthy community is essential for growth / you are never alone / your story isn't just for you

Use this space as: a destination for inspiration / a place to laugh / a place to cry / a resource for when you're feeling stuck / a compass for when you're feeling lost / a resting place from comparison / a morning ritual / an online group chat

Behind The Name (From Our Founder)

My best friends are like red wine. There for me in happiness and sorrow. 🍷

Celebration and heartache. Success and failure. For good days, bad days, and all the days in between. My best friends have taught me so much through the way they live. Lessons in hospitality, honor, and listening. Perseverance, sacrifice, and joy. Living examples of love, integrity, and willingness. Givers of grace. Light in darkness. They've championed me and challenged me in ways that have changed me. I dedicate this space to them.

My really great friends are like martinis. 🍸

There for me in happiness and sorrow. Sending memes at the crack of dawn. Kindling our bond through belated voice memos, 5k trainings, and cackling at losers on dating apps. We always pick up exactly where we left off: spilling too much tea, firing off the same ol' complaints, and sharing fears about getting older. Humor dark and dry as all get-out, they make me belly laugh! My secret-keepers, truth-speakers, and loudest cheerleaders. My insecurities fade in their company. I dedicate this space to them.

My favorite friends are like tequila sodas. 🫧

There for me in happiness and sorrow. Opening up a world of wonder, chatting about everything under the sun. From big issues to small, it's always a party when tequila's involved. My favorite friends interrupt my routine. We split truffle fries at $20 cocktail bars on weeknights. Max out our PTO flying across the world for concerts. Together, we live in the moment. Creating positive memories in the spaces our traumas invaded. I grow because of them. Like lime and salt, they bring out my flavor. Our differences don't divide us. They add value to my life in the matter of minutes. What's for me won't miss me with them around. I dedicate this space to them.
