As an entrepreneur, Kelly Huether has never followed the beaten path, always setting his own course to the next big trend in beauty distribution. Now that he's retired, he's teeing up a new course—on the golf course. His new venture, Buy Buy Golf Balls, finds a new solution to an ages-old problem—lost golf balls—while inspiring young entrepreneurs to think differently, earn money and have fun! As an extra bonus, he and his daughters, Riley and Reese, are having a blast, as they build a new business together.

Buy Buy Golf Balls is a quirky, grassroots company that’s about more than just cheaper balls; it’s a family-run mission to clean up courses, bring joy back to the game, and build a new pipeline for young entrepreneurs.

We love purple. What do you think?

From Miranda Priestly herself to Timothée Chalamet’s vintage archive dives, the sumptuous, deep shade of purple is one to swathe yourself in.

If you're a hairdresser, educator or brand marketer, Aspasie would love your opinion to help shape the future of the swatchbook!

Aspasie has been designing and producing hair color swatchbooks for the professional beauty industry since 1971. This woman-founded and family- operated Canadian factory will be celebrating its 55th anniversary in just a few months. Such a milestone makes you want to look back at your achievements, but they also want to project themselves into the future, keep innovation coming and continue to evolve and adapt to the market they service.

The professional beauty industry has changed tremendously in the past decade alone, the erosion of the traditional salary / commission salon and the constant growth of the independent hairdresser model has an impact on how brands market their products and supply tools to their professionals.

Aspasie strives to be ahead of the curve and to innovate along with its color brands to create the best tools to both promote their color creations and help professionals on their color consultation and formulation.

Thanks so much!
