A final message from Lau + Rich

They’re back! Lau and Rich return to get into important milestones. Ya know, the big life markers. Why exactly? Well Lau may have just crossed a big one. Age goals, significant birthday and life moments, and more, they cover it. Plus this ep is jam packed with HA news. From Goldie’s first outing at the Blue Ox Music Fest to an on-the-ground report of double Taylor Swift to new team members, a lot has transpired since the last new ep. So strap in, blow out your candles, and make a wish. If...

The summer best-of series continues with this classic from July last year covering an HA favorite topic: Roadtrips. Lau shares mid-west summer must-hit destinations, travel nightmare stories, and so much more. Plus HA launches (of the past) and shoutouts to some other fave summer brands. So grab your go-to roadtrip snack, check to make sure you locked the door for the 3rd time, and let's hit the road.  . . .

Summer schedules, travel, and all the usual suspect got the best of Lau & Rich once again. BUT, it is good news. Because grabbing this classic from the archives needed to happen. This episode was recorded almost a year ago (July, 2022). And the reason it is a great time to re-release it is because so much of what is talked about, from the third floor HQ expansion to the Flagship retail store beginnings to soldering, well, these are great "before" and "after" stories. And we all love...

Summer has been off to a BUSY start around the Hello Adorn studio. So, since there was no time to record and new ep for this week, Lau and Rich dig through the archives to bring one of their faves back to the top of the feed. This episode was recorded in June 2022 and it is so summery, you can feel it like hot sun on bare shoulders. It was Jess's second ever appearance on the pod and the first one where she laid out her summer essentials. There's Bozeman travel stories, there's Endless...

There’s no two ways about it: It is wedding season. The madness has begun. And since Hello Adorn’s jewelry has conservatively been a part of 14 million weddings, it was about time to talk about it. So this week, Lau and Rich get into nuptials. But to get the freshest perspective, former guest Kayla returns as she plans HER upcoming wedding. Between Rich having had a wedding, Lau having photographed triple digits of weddings, and Kayla’s forthcoming betrothment (running out of synonyms), the...

Here a pup, there a pup, everywhere a pup pup. When it comes to dogs, the Hello Adorn extended family is full of them. And they are a big part of the lives of our team AND studio life (every Tail-Waggin-Tuesday, the studio fills with adorable canines). So this week, Lau and Rich talk to Fulfillment specialist and dog mom extraordinaire: Maggie. They get into all things dog mommery, which is not a made up term, but don’t look it up. Plus they get into fulfillment, Maggie’s TikTok mastery, dog...

This is a special one. With Mother’s Day coming up, it is once again time to celebrate the mamas of the world. To Hello Adorn, that means moms, soon-to-be moms, mothers who have lost children, those yearning to be mothers, step moms, dog moms, single moms, plant moms, and more. This time, special guest Kelsey, HA star maker, entrepreneur, and bonafide funniest person in the studio, takes Lau and Rich on her wild journey through infertility. She talks about the untalked about, the downs, the...

She’s BACK! Jess returns again to celebrate the departure from winter and she’s here just in time to give Lau and Rich the rundown on the spring fashion essentials. From jewelry to fits to shoes and more, Jess is no gatekeeper. She’s here to share. Plus they talk island travel essentials, Jess and Lau’s week of dating (each other), and more. The show closes with a brand new segment: Adore or Abhor. Despite the name, it is bound to be the next big thing. . . Podcast email (for Jewelry &...

Time to get adventurous! This week, Lau and Rich have the pleasure of having certified thrill-seeker (and all-around perfect vibe) Claire on the pod. Is she a customer care magician? Yes. Is she everyone’s fave Hello Adorn blog writer? You know it. Does she also lead the wholesale program for Hello Adorn stockists? Yea, also correct. But she is also a climber, a camper, a singer, a musician, an ex-teacher, and so much more. So the group gets into all of that plus nicknames, too many rhymes,...

Not to be alarmist, but we’re in the midst of a crimewave. It is just a fact. But it isn’t just any crimewave. It is a petty crimewave. And Hello Adorn is right at the center of it. So on this week’s epic episode, Lau and Rich put out the distress call. And it is answered by none other than Griff Stark-Ennis, one of the hosts and creators of the runaway hit podcast, Petty Crimes. The only comedy true crime podcast that exclusively investigates petty crimes. Griff hands down verdicts and swift...

Ah color. Hello Adorn LIVES for color. It is central to everything they do. So this week, Lau and Rich dive into all things color. From important historical colors (where did Hello Adorn’s blush color come from?) to the Hello Adorn insider Pantone color swatch (crafted by Lau). What’s the deal behind the color “Britlyn Loves Helen”? What about “Kalm + Kind Kira”? “Fika Moka Run”? So many insider colors, so little time. Well, actually plenty of time. Plus, news from the studio, a recent trip...

Oh no no no not like that. That’s for another podcast. This week, Lau and Rich dive into the wild world of stones and crystals in honor of the soon to launch stone collection.

That plus news you can use from the studio and a special stone-themed edition of everyone’s favorite game show: Name That Piece. Get ready to learn (not really) and laugh...

That’s right, it is almost Valentine’s Day. And, maybe more importantly, it is almost Galentine’s Day. So Lau and Rich get into both. They get into Valentine’s traditions, good and bad. Great V’day stories from the team, all the details of Hello Adorn’s Valentine’s collection including some limited releases, and some ridiculous trivia. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, you probably will not cry.  . . Podcast email (for Jewelry & Stuff): [email protected] Hello Adorn:...

It’s the unexpected of it all, isn’t it? Hello Adorn is full of the unexpected. And it makes sense, because the HA story itself is just that. But few embody “unexpected” more than today’s pod guest. Lau and Rich talk to the queen of surprise herself: Kayla. If you’re looking for stories of over-the-counter overdoses, donkey basketball (maybe not what you think), unlikely meetings, wild career changes, Tiny Twist earrings in miles, and other left turns, this ep is going to be right up your...

New year, new Hello Adorn. Well, plenty of new on the way, that is.

Lau and Rich are back, and doing something a little different (and a little the same). Short and sweet, they cover the latest and greatest happening in the Hello Adorn studio. Lau is days away from running a marathon, new team members are starting, and stack week results are in (how were Jess B.’s predictions???). Plus we’ve got fall stuff, new things on the horizon, and more. And to close, fan favorite game show: Name That Piece to close out. Call it “news you can use”, “hits and bits”, or...
