Meet 100 mL, AKA one of my biz besties and gift bag vendors
A few years ago, Kate—the founder of 100mL—reached out with an idea for how we could work together.
Normally, I delete “collaboration” emails.
Nine times out of ten, it’s someone wanting to host with me for free (which, trust me, never works out for either party).
But something about Kate’s note made me pause.
Maybe it was because she also calls Michigan home.
Maybe it was because I could tell she was authentic—a core value of mine.
Maybe it was our shared passion for travel.
Or our mutual obsession with really good skincare.
Maybe all of the above.
But honestly? It was mostly because I instantly loved the products she carries—and I’m always hunting for thoughtful, high-quality additions for our retreat gift bags.
100mL curates small-batch, plant-based beauty products that are as gorgeous as they are effective.
Think face oils, mists, and serums that make you feel like you’ve just stepped out of a spa—even if you’re at home in your sweatpants.
Every item is carefully formulated, beautifully packaged, and infused with that rare mix of quality and intention.
Beyond the products, Kate has become one of my business besties.
She gets the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, she always shows up with encouragement (and real talk), and she’s proof of what happens when women support women.
So, the next time you want to treat yourself—or a friend—check out 100mL.
I know you’ll fall in love with the products… but even more so, you’ll feel the heart that Kate pours into this beautiful brand.
