Back to School Season

This summer, I decided to take a break. It wasn’t something I planned, but it turned out to be exactly what I needed. I unplugged, traveled to Paris, South of France and Tuscany, cooked, and allowed myself to step away from the daily grind. It was a chance to reconnect with what really matters to me—family and friends, discovering new places, cooking new recipes and enjoying the simple pleasures of life without a screen in front of me.

It feels appropriate to bring our weekly newsletter A Perfect Bite back to life just as back to school season kicks off. Starting tomorrow, I'll be sending out our newsletter every Friday. Pre-break, this newsletter was intended to support hybrid and remote employees as they navigate a new workplace. I've witnessed our corporate clients transform from trying to navigate the new workplace to thriving. I'll be taking this newsletter restart as an opportunity for our newsletter to transform as well. We're talking to people who work on teams that prioritize it's people. I'm not talking about the ones that just say they care to attract new hires, but the ones that go out of their way to ensure you're heard, seen, and respected. It's more than just a pizza party, it's creating opportunities for employees to grow and thrive. Teams who've thrown out "that's the way we have always done it". Fresh, out-of-the-box ideas are fearlessly shared and brought to life. Teams who know that people who have fulfilling, balanced and healthy lives bring so much more to the table.

The other transformation this newsletter will undergo is the tone. It'll be coming directly from me - Brit, the Creator of Home Ec and Contributor to A Perfect Bite. I connect with our corporate clients on the daily via email about how we can serve them and their teams to support their wellbeing, and this newsletter will an extension of that personal interaction. It may look like my thoughts on a recently published article or what I am seeing trending in the workplace wellness space. Or, it may just be about a new menu we've created for our corporate client's workplace wellness cooking class that we're really excited about. A Perfect Bite will be like cutting into a perfect burrata to unveil all of the yumminess inside.

Cutting into the burrata

This newsletter isn't the only thing that has undergone a transformation. So has our typeface. Maybe. We're vacillating between these two. The one on the left gives groovy, funky nostalgia while the opposite gives a more clean nostalgia. I'd love your thoughts on which one we should run with, send me an email [email protected].

Until the next break (because I know I’ll need one eventually), I’m looking forward to our weekly catch-ups.
