Behind the Scenes: Livi Team’s Quarterly Meetup in Jacksonville
At Livi, we’re all about bringing ease, style, and empowerment to your day-to-day. But as a team of best friends and founders—each with busy lives of our own—we also know the importance of carving out time together to reconnect and refocus on our shared goals. That’s why every quarter, Sarah, Emily, and I (Pauline) come together for our in-person strategy meetup. This time, it was Jacksonville's turn (we rotate between where we live)!
Here’s a little peek into our whirlwind few days together, filled with work, laughs, good food, and, of course, a healthy dose of just being friends.
Packing Orders with Love
As soon as we arrived, we hit the ground running. Nothing brings us more joy than knowing each order brings a piece of Livi to your home, so we all pitched in to pack orders by hand. There’s something so rewarding about prepping each package ourselves, knowing it’s headed to a Livi customer ready to make their day a little brighter and their nails a lot easier.
Talking Strategy & Planning Big Things
After the packing was done, it was time to dive into our quarterly strategy session. From brainstorming new products and colors to refining our approach for reaching more of you who crave a little less salon time and a little more freedom, we covered a lot of ground! These sessions are where we dream up our biggest ideas and make sure Livi is heading in the right direction—always focused on delivering something special to you.
Dinner, Wine & Reconnecting
Of course, what’s a quarterly meetup without a chance to relax and catch up outside the hustle? On our first evening, we treated ourselves to a beautiful dinner, complete with a couple of well-deserved glasses of wine. These dinners are the perfect time to celebrate our wins, talk through our challenges, and reconnect as friends—not just business partners.
Photoshoot Fun
No meetup would be complete without capturing some new content! We staged a photoshoot to showcase our latest products and upcoming launches. As a new and scrappy brand, we very much DIY part of our shoots. We use our own hands, props we already have, and did it at one of our homes. That means sometimes we have to get a little creative: cue me being under the table to include two hands, and Eli making a guest appearance right under the fold...
A Leisurely Lunch on Day Two
Our final day wrapped up with a long, leisurely lunch, letting us savor the last bit of time together. Over great food and conversation, we reflected on how far Livi has come (and how much we have to do) and how grateful we are for each and every one of you who supports us on this journey.
Until Next Time…
Our quarterly meetings may only happen a few times a year, but they always bring a fresh spark of excitement and inspiration to what we do. We left Jacksonville with full hearts, lots of laughter, and a renewed commitment to bringing you the very best of Livi. Here’s to many more meetups, many more memories, and even more beautiful nails—no salon required!
