The Gratitude Challenge Week 8: Who inspires you?

[TeamBIC]

Seasons greetings, Beauty Insider Community! The Gratitude Challenge is all about spreading the love and recognizing the people in your life that have made a difference (big or small) in your own life -- either IRL or virtually in the BIC! Celebrating the holidays might look a little different this year, which is why we wanted to take the time – in the midst of basket-building and sale-shopping -- to give thanks for what makes this Community so great (ALL OF YOU!) and encourage you to do the same with us.

Each week will have a different theme, and a new opportunity to give a shoutout to a special someone (or multiple people!) that fits that description for you. Don’t forget to tag their BIC username if they’re on Community! And if you get tagged, be sure to return the favor and keep the gratitude train goin’. 😊

• Week 1 (11/6 – 11/12): someone who can always put a smile on your face 😃
• Week 2 (11/13 – 11/19): someone who gives great product advice and recommendations 💄
• Week 3 (11/20 – 11/26): someone you’re thankful for 🦃
• Week 4 (11/27 – 12/3): a new friend in your life 👬
• Week 5 (12/4 – 12/10): someone who sends the best memes! 🤣
• Week 6 (12/11 – 12/17): someone who deserves a lil extra love 💞
• Week 7 (12/18 – 12/24): someone with the best holiday spirit 🎁
• Week 8 (12/25 – 12/31): someone who inspires you 🤩

@Samtian You are not invisible at all! Highlighter doesn't allow that and you're the queen of it. I was well aware of you before we became closer friends. I like seeing you on the lipstick thread and you contribute a lot to BIC. I'm sure others agree

@itsfihas said it all in her posts below!  She has done the work to write these names and explanations out, and I agree with her thoughts!   I'm thankful to everyone on BIC that she listed and others, if there are any missing!  This forum and these people and friendships mean so much to me, in so many ways, every day.  The information that we share is so valuable, too.

Thank you, everyone!😘
