We Shall Overcome!

“Overcoming adversity not only makes you stronger, it makes you more hopeful.” – Valerie Jarrett

We’ve been at this for a while so naturally nicknames for the Covid 19 Pandemic are starting to crop up. To wit: The Great Pause. The Required Recess. The Grand Reset.

It doesn’t really matter what we call it as it continues its mysterious dance, adding more potential symptoms (and victims) to its roster. Until the ALL CLEAR is sounded we will continue our regimens of expert hand washing, surface disinfection, and trying … trying … trying not to touch our faces.

But the Compulsory Standstill can’t break our spirit. During this Obligatory Lockdown we still find delight. We love speaking with our customers on the phone, hearing their stories, and helping them find what they need. The Horrible Hiatus has given us another opportunity to experience how wonderful our community is and how much they mean to us, and us to them.

Our Easter windows were brimming with bunnies, chick-lets and eggs – oh my! – and lots of you stopped by to pick out goodies and take a moment to be reminded of a simpler, prettier, more pastel time.

Now our thoughts have turned to Mother’s Day and so our windows are filled with all manner of ways to tickle the fancy of that most important figure in our lives; our mother, our matriarch, our confidante/chum/confessor and creator.

The mother of Nina, Tina and Gina was Evelyn Hasche and she was very involved in the origin story of Skin Deep. In fact, she gave us our name. Mothers hold a pretty special place in our heart and always will.

So when The Involuntary Interruption begins gnawing on your nerves, put on your mask and come on down to peek in our windows. We’re happy to put together your selection for Mom (or someone who’s been like a mother) and wrap it to appear as lovely and festive as the first day of spring.

We’re still here for you.
