Not So Brat Summer
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! 👯♀️
Being an adult during the summer is tough. Unlike when we were kids, there's no summer vacation to fully enjoy the weather and vibes. Now, everything depends on PTO and workload.
K8 and I have been leaning on each other to make it through the summer without it turning into a bummer. Balancing the desire to take PTO but not wanting to waste it while needing to stay productive is challenging. It’s tough to sit inside or be tied to the house for WiFi when the weather is calling you outside. Plus, seeing friends on fab Euro vacations, yachts, and at the beach doesn’t make it any easier.
We've been encouraging each other to take our work outside to the porch or backyard. It helps to break the monotony and bring some joy to our workdays. Just don’t get too distracted—make sure you get your work done and reward yourself when you’re finished.
This summer has been heavy for the #GinkBob household, but we're supporting each other with all the encouragement we can find. We’re trying our best to make it a not-so-bummer summer, but honestly, we love fall and winter more anyway. I love my job, but sometimes I love the outdoors more. K8 is doing a great job keeping me positive, and if you need any support, reach out—we’d love to co-work with you.
the best is when we can co-work IRL
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, 3 Body Problem. 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.

The Still Talking About F1 Edition 🏆
The 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix was the sassiest race of the season, a showcase of passion and strategy, culminating in a dramatic victory for Oscar Piastri, who secured his first F1 win!! Piastri's journey began with a bold move at the first turn, where he outmaneuvered both Norris and Verstappen to take the lead.

Despite building a significant lead, a pit stop strategy saw Norris regain the front position. McLaren’s decision to switch the drivers demonstrated their focus on ensuring Piastri's win, a move that, while controversial, underscored the intricate strategies that define F1 racing.

lando: its always tough when youre fighting for a win and a win means so much to me and also to him. i just had to try to put myself in his shoes [..] every driver is selfish and you have to be selfish in this game[..] i realized i had to do what was right.

Lewis: "It felt like a racing incident and it's easy to make mistakes like that so I don't feel there should be any hostility but of course from his side there always will be."
The way Oscar and Lando looked at each other! 😅
Lewis: "Drop the mic!" 😆😆

The WNBA All-Star Weekend was fun to watch. A lot of history was made.
Angel Reese first rookie to record double-double since 1999
Caitlin Clark set rookie record with 10 assists
Allisha Gray first player to win skills challenge & 3-point contest in the same year
Caitlin Clark dishing out dimes to Angel Reese. Beautiful to see the 2 Top Rookies working together on the same team.
Hopefully everyone can see THEY DON’T HATE EACH OTHER PEOPLE and never did. @Reese10Angel@CaitlinClark22
