Franca just dipped her toes in the Atlantic. Jenn’s off on a canoe expedition. Alice is packing up for a staycation on Song Lake. It seems like this month our team can’t get enough open water. When we’re not perfecting our cannonballs, we’re keeping our eyes peeled for waves of change (see what we did there?): trends bubbling to the surface and brands that are making ripples in the status quo.
