Jeni Britton: Founder of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams and Floura

Jeni Britton is the founder of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams and the new fiber bar company Floura. Jeni grew up loving food and entrepreneurship—so much so that she left college to pursue her dream of making ice cream. After years of researching and experimenting with new and innovative flavor combinations, she founded Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams in 2002. Over the next 17 years, she built Jeni’s into an ice cream sensation. Today, the brand generates over $125 million in annual revenue and is known for its unique, delicious flavor combinations. By 2019, however, she was burnt out. She stepped away from the company, allowing herself time to rest and reflect. During this period, she embarked on a health journey, which led her to the world of fiber. Britton soon learned that a majority of Americans do not get enough fiber, so she set about experimenting with innovative ingredients and nutrients. The result is Floura—a new line of fiber bars featuring 12 different fiber sources from whole plants that come in flavors like Blueberry Matcha and Brambleberry Lavender. Floura launched in January through direct-to-consumer sales and Pop Up Grocer in January, selling out its initial run in just two days.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lili Reinhart: Actor, Producer, and Founder of Personal Day Skincare

Lili Reinhart is an actor, producer, and founder of the skincare brand Personal Day. She knew she wanted to be an actor from a young age and spent her tween and teenage years auditioning, self-taping, and begging her parents to let her finish schooling online so she could concentrate on her craft. At 19, she was cast as Betty Cooper on the hit CW show Riverdale and spent the next seven years in a nonstop filming and production cycle. During this busy period of life, she still found time to pursue outside projects, publishing a book of poetry in 2020 and founding a production company. When Riverdale ended in 2023, it allowed her a moment to pause and consider what she wanted to work on going forward. Since then, she’s been developing projects with her production company that ignore the mainstream in favor of tackling topics like mental health. She’s taken on a few acting projects, like the TV series Hal & Harper, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last month. She also spent two years developing her skincare line, Personal Day, which launched this past fall and has been receiving great reviews for its nonirritating formulas and effective solutions for acne-prone skin.Promo Details: Go to PersonalDay.com Enter code WWW15 at check out for 15% off your orderEnds 3/31 at 11:59pm PSTSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
