When I first dreamed up Field + Forge, I imagined slow mornings, intentional rituals, and skincare that felt like care, not noise. What I didn’t fully imagine was just how supported, encouraged, and celebrated this first launch would feel.
And honestly? I’m still soaking it in.
From the moment the shop opened, the response was overwhelming in the best way. Thoughtful orders. Kind messages. Real, heartfelt reviews from people who felt the products, who noticed softer skin, calmer routines, and that unmistakable glow that comes from ingredients doing exactly what they’re meant to do.
Reading your words about makeup melting off, about texture softening, about skin feeling nourished after just one use, reminded me why I started this in the first place. Field + Forge was never about trends. It was about function, simplicity, and trust. Seeing that resonate so deeply means everything.
A Holiday I’ll Never Forget
Our holiday event was another moment I’ll hold close. Seeing Field + Forge in real hands, in real conversations, surrounded by warmth and curiosity - it was grounding and energizing all at once. Whether you stopped by to say hi, tried a product, shared a friend’s name, or simply cheered me on from afar, you were part of this.
And then… we sold out. 🤍
Closing the shop after our first launch wasn’t something I expected to do so soon, but it felt right. It felt complete. Like a deep exhale after something meaningful.
A Pause Filled With Love
Now, as I write this, I’m just three days away from meeting my baby girl.
So I’m taking a short, intentional pause - not to step away from Field + Forge, but to step fully into this next chapter of life. To rest. To bond. To be present in a way that feels aligned with everything this brand stands for.
I plan to relaunch around February 1st (or close to it), returning slowly, thoughtfully, and with so much gratitude for the community that made this beginning so special.
Thank you for believing in this little passion of mine. Thank you for supporting something handcrafted, heartfelt, and rooted in care. This is only the beginning, and I can’t wait to continue growing Field + Forge with you.
With so much love,
Karissa 🤍
