Why Milk Makeup Parent Company Faces Nasdaq Delisting –

When Waldencast went public in 2021, its founders shrugged off mounting fears that a recession was on the horizon, stressing that they were confident that the corporate would turn into a world best-in-class beauty and wellness player.

The second, half an hour later, shouted: THINK OF YOUR PARENTS AND SISTER. In my third week of sobriety, a life without alcohol still didn’t come naturally to me. Social events were especially intimidating—before, I could depend upon alcohol to be a social lubricant that made all the pieces feel easier and more vibrant. With a couple of drinks in me, I had all the time been the lifetime of the party, dancing to Bollywood music, oversharing embarrassing anecdotes and making out with someone I had barely met, abruptly.
