Hello, hello and a Happy New Year from everyone here at Bleu! As you may have noticed, Bleu has taken a short break from our regularly scheduled programming. To be transparent, the past several months have been especially challenging due to a number of deeply personal reasons that range from finding strength in great love to struggling through even greater loss. From a death in the family to extensive illness, unforeseen trials, and the mental toll that comes along with these numerous sudden hits, we are taking a brief break to focus on our loved ones and our mental health, while picking up some of the pieces.
If you take anything from the paragraph above, let it be that it is absolutely 100% okay to hit the pause button and take care of yourself and those around you when you need to. That said, Bleu will take this time to restructure a bit behind the scenes, to fix a few bugs on the site, and work on expanding our internal team to ensure a strong return and to live up to her mission (her being Bleu) to continue to bring a wide range of fun and blooming content for women of all ages. Bleu has grown at a very fast pace since our launch in April of last year, and with that comes the need for more time, more dedication, and more bandwidth, and we are figuring out how to do so responsibly to accommodate her needs. We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of the support each and every one of you has given us during this first year.
We’ll be back shortly with a roster of new interviews, heartfelt personal essays, even more cool shit, and a couple of new team members firmly in place. We’ll see you soon friends!
xx, James
