We'll be sharing some cool trip tricks, exciting stories, and inspiring experiences. So, sit back, get ready to be inspired, and make sure to read until the end! We'll share some questions to help you reflect and recharge. (See you there!)

Frames of Butter's Half-Year Recap

We've all been busy bees here at Frames of Butter, and not just mastering delicious recipes! Let's dive into some of the cool new skills we've picked up and exciting things we're looking forward to in the second half

Cool New Skills & Knowledge

Ariel (Co-founder): Learned how to cure egg yolk (and it's apparently amazing!)

Allen (Co-founder): Mastered the art of both golf and pickle ball – talk about well-rounded!

Kelly (Intern): Became a UI/UX design whiz! She can now design her own user interfaces and create personal projects. Plus, she's got a handy gas station tip for all of us: the little arrow next to the gas pump icon tells you which side your tank is on! ⛽️

Kamont (Intern): Embraced self-reflection and found the power of "Professional Zen." By focusing on what matters and letting go of things she can't control, she's feeling more productive and less stressed. (Bonus tip for laptop users: Shift+Enter = new line!)

What we are looking forward to...

Ariel (Co-founder): Celebrating Christmas in all its delicious glory!

Allen (Co-founder): Friend's wedding, Run a half marathon, Climb 小百岳, Glamping with friends

Kelly (Intern): Exploring the wonders of Korea – one of her favorite Asia destinations!

Kamont (Intern): A spooky Halloween bash with friends (promising to outdo their epic Russell costume from last year!) and a blast celebrating the holidays and her birthday in December.

Now onto some reflection from our brans.

What's Been Memorable for Frames of Butter?

This year has been a rollercoaster of achievements for our brand! Here's a quick recap:

1. Our trip to Bali secured a fantastic home collection products & stunning  photography!
2. Dream collaboration: Teamed up with one of our favorite brands: ness, to create a co-branded journal ✨
3. You can now find us offline! Our Cellulose sponges and cloths can be found at Flow Apartment.

We're incredibly grateful for these accomplishments and the amazing people who made them possible. 

P.S. Stay tuned for more exciting updates coming soon!

How have we nurtured our brand's well-being?

This year, we prioritized quality, connection, and style! We designed amazing products, built a strong team, and embraced trends while staying true to our unique identity.

What challenges did we overcome, and what lessons can we learn from them?

Let's talk growing pains! We definitely learned the importance of mastering our time ninja skills and finding that work-life balance. Turns out, burnt-out besties aren't the most productive (who knew?!). On a lighter note, a certain cushion cover vendor threw us a curveball with some supply issues, but hey, that's the learning curve, right? It definitely force us to improve and that's a beautiful aspect about life because we're all about getting better and bringing you the best!

What are our top three goals for the rest of the year?

We're leveling up our marketing to spread the Frames of Butter love, welcoming new fans and strengthening our market position. Get ready for festive holiday campaigns, new products, and exciting pop-up events – it's going to be a delicious second half!

Any new adventures or experiences we want to try?

Organize more offline events and partner with more local brands to support each other.

What's one thing we want to change or improve in our brand experience?

We're always looking for ways to make your Frames of Butter experience even better! This means expanding our product line with awesome new stuff you'll love (think more ways to bring the butter magic into your life!), making sure everything is crystal clear with descriptions and promotions, and crushing it during the holidays with a smooth online shopping experience and festive cheer.
