LAVA BRO isn't just an emotional support company; we're your hype squad, vibing like a winning sports team or backing each other up like siblings. In this weekly newsletter, together, we celebrate small wins ✨. We blend the excitement of sports highlights with strategies to tackle those existential crises that pop up in our everyday lives. Share with your family & friends.

K8 & GINK

The sisters known as the Internet! 👯‍♀️

Oh no! Sadly, it was time to bid farewell to K8 and 🧬 and head back to the farm. 🐼 was awesome enough to give me a ride to the airport!

Flying has been a part of K8's and my life since forever. 🧬 showed me my first passport from 1996, complete with stamps from London Heathrow.

Whether it's a quick hop or a long haul, K8 and I have learned to combat anxieties in the air, both together and on our own. Thankfully, with phones and WiFi onboard, keeping ourselves calm has gotten a bit easier.

But let's be real—not every flight memory is all fun and games. I vividly remember one trip to Detroit with 🦷 when K8 and I were causing a bit of a ruckus on the plane. I had to speak up for myself when someone decided to stick their nose where it didn't belong, and let's just say, 🦷 was not impressed with me.

Then there was a time K8 sold a scarf she was knitting to a lady on the plane, handing it over by the time we got to baggage claim. She really is a loom.

But my all-time favorite flight? That would have to be the one where K8 and I flew out of Miami solo and ended up flying straight into a hurricane. Turbulence may not be everyone's idea of fun, but for us, it was an adventure!

And on this flight back to DTW, guess what? I scored a whole row to myself! Cued up my airplane playlist and some serious seat dancing—talk about the ideal ride!

SMALL WINS

Let’s dive into the *~magic~*! ✨

In a world that's all about the big moments, it's time to give props to the small wins—like finally nailing that thing you put off & it only taking 5 minutes, catching a breather mid-chaos or hustling through a workout when you'd rather binge, Girls5eva. They might not make an impact, but these wins? They're the rizz to leveling up. So, let’s celebrate our accomplishments and manifest for the week ahead. 

  • Maggie made an awesome feta dip

  • Sean’s dog Farley made the finals of “dogma madness” - a bracket tournament run by his doggy daycare

  • Sierra indulged in some self-care with an at-home manicure and nail art

  • Rileigh got her k8knitz spring bucket hat

  • Gink new job starts Monday with a trip to HQ—all expenses paid, including overnight stays

  • K8 started reading Okay, Cupid

WOO, SPORTS!

All The Madness Edition 🏆

My [K8] emotional bond with my brackets runs deep, and let me tell you, they've been absolutely demolished. The March Madness rollercoaster leaves me feeling both pumped and a tad rattled. But hey, that's the thrill of the game, isn't it? It's all about regrouping, recalibrating, and celebrating the small wins!

This is a prime example of how NIL deals should operate. During the game against Kentucky, everyone was comparing Jack Gohlke to their accountant.

He also dropped a bunch of gems during the post game press interview.

In one of our previous issues, Generational Gems, we discussed the importance of grandparents! Noah Freidel (James Madison) & Jermaine Couisnard (Oregon) get it.

Yale’s band was once again too busy on Spring Break, so the University of Idaho Pep band filled in & there was a lil X username confusion.

We ❤️ freshman, Audi Crooks!

INTERNET GEMS
