CurlyRed turns Sweet Sixteen today, wooohooo! Over breakfast, I was reminiscing about some of the harder things I've faced in the past 16 years. Like in 2008, when the recession hit and I lost the few clients I had and had to start all over again. Like in 2009, when a former client threatened to […]

Categories: 16 years of CurlyRedOn January 31st, CurlyRed will turn 16 YEARS OLD (can you believe it?). And if you know us, you know we love a theme (as if!).
