BEAUTY: Blush decoded. Navigating the blush aisle can feel like a pop quiz—cream, liquid, powder? Each formula brings its own vibe: Powders are great for oily skin and staying power, creams give you that dewy glow, and liquids blend like a dream for natural radiance. It’s less about what’s “in” and more about what works for you. Consider your skin type, preferred finish, and daily routine before picking your perfect match. 💗
CHEEK YOUR MATCH.
FASHION: Ring leader. 🎪 The ring sandal is officially summer’s MVP. The sleek metal detailing adds just enough edge to minimalist silhouettes, making them a go-with-anything option for hot days and cooler nights. They look just as good poolside as they do at a rooftop dinner. Whether you’re keeping it casual or dressing things up, this shoe gets the style stamp of approval.

We love a mission-oriented brand. And so does Elizabeth Parker, Director of Customer Service at OOFOS. We talked to her about OOFOS’s Project Pink initiative and what working for the company as a breast cancer survivor means to her.
Let's talk about OOFOS’s core values to start. What can you tell us about your team and what it's like to work somewhere that puts recovery—be it from exercise or illness—first?
Our mission at OOFOS is to make people feel better. We do this through our product and technology, but it is more than that. It extends to how we treat one another and how we engage in experience with customers, vendors and each other.
Explain for our readers how Project Pink came to be. Why is it such an important project?
OOFOS has close ties to the breast cancer community, as one of the company’s first employees, Duncan Finigan, was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer in October 2014. OOFOS began Project Pink, a dedicated effort to make breast cancer awareness a year-round focus, as a way to support Duncan through her four-year battle with the illness and keep her memory alive following her passing in 2019. OOFOS has a long-term partnership and commitment to raising funds for breast cancer research and patient care and has donated more than $5M globally since the inception of Project Pink in 2015.
What is it like having your voice included at the table as someone with personal experience in the cause you're fighting for?
I am a breast cancer survivor. Project Pink was a huge factor for me when introduced to OOFOS. To be able to be a part of an organization committed to breast cancer research is an incredible opportunity.
Cancer research needs funds—funds to find a cure and advance treatments, but there is more. In my case, funds were needed for genetic mapping so doctors could put together preventative treatment plans for my children. We needed funds for social services to help my family while we were on this journey and to provide food to help combat side effects of infusions. It really gets that granular and I was a recipient of it all.
I never had the opportunity to meet Duncan, but through Project Pink, I feel like I know her. She inspires me.
If you could tell breast cancer fighters and survivors one thing that you've learned from your personal journey and from your work on Project Pink, what would it be?
Don’t give up and give yourself some grace. It is a war made up of many battles and while you will win many and maybe lose some, you are building strength you likely never knew you were capable of.
What this journey will show you is that there is a world of people who are compassionate, caring and who want to help. That ranges from volunteers at hospitals to organizations that offer rides to doctor’s appointments to teams like OOFOS who are committed to helping find a cure.
I am one of the lucky ones. Early detection saved my life and now I can continue to help others through my work.
