It kept me asking questions and it kept me, let's say, invested in learning more.
And that really interested me in skincare.
Yeah, so when I was looking at the name as to what I wanted to name the company, I wanted it to be something unique, of course, and something that spoke to me as a person and spoke to the identity that I was planning, I was trying to create for the end consumer as well.
So Dipsy, in fact, is a childhood nickname, which my sisters gave me when I was, you know, probably my daughter's age.

So it's a win.
