Hi Warriors!

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for once again being part of this campaign. Your kindness and patience mean the world to me. I’m thrilled to share that the "Find the Light" fidget necklaces have arrived and look absolutely stunning! They came out perfect and spinning them is oh so satisfying. 🥹



A huge thank you to the 86% of you who have completed your surveys! It's been so exciting to see which designs you love the most! If you haven’t filled out your survey yet, please do so by the end of this week! Also, don't forget to check out the preorder store and add-ons if you haven't had the chance yet. To those who have, thank you so much—I can’t wait for you to receive everything! I plan on adding something special to each order as well. 👀

All pins, stickers and patches are currently in production and are anticipated to arrive within the next couple of weeks. I will keep you updated with progress pictures and further updates. Once we have everything in hand, shipments will commence in early August. 🖤

I'm also excited to announce I’m hosting a Giveaway on Instagram for hitting 6k followers where there will be 3 winners! One lucky winner will receive the entire Insular Cortex Collection!! 😱 As a special bonus for all backers, if you win, we will provide you with a full refund and include the items you ordered in addition to your prize! Head on over to @evoleye on Instagram to enter! Best of luck!! 🤞

For more updates and to see what’s been going on with me health wise (pretty scary to say the least), you can read my latest updates on Instagram.

Thank you all once again for your incredible support. It means the absolute world to me!

Christy 🖤🤟

Project Update: Progress and Heartfelt Thanks

Hi my friends!!

I hope this message finds you well, and you're off to a great week. I apologize for my absence and lack of updates recently. I want to assure you that things are moving forward, and those long-awaited surveys are on their way!!

Over the past few months, I have been fighting through some significant health challenges that got quite serious. I've been in and out of the hospital, urgent care, and numerous appointments with specialists and doctors. I've experienced severe medical trauma and have had to advocate for myself while navigating the complexities of chronic illness, while being in a significant amount of pain. It has been incredibly taxing to say the least, both physically and mentally and I needed time in the dark so to speak. 

I know this has affected my ability to communicate with you and keep you updated, and for that, I am truly sorry. Please understand that I never intended to go silent. I was simply overwhelmed by these circumstances and trying my best to cope. 

The good news is that progress is being made! I've already sent designs off to my manufactures as well as submitted the surveys and preorder shop to BackerKit and I am just waiting on their approval!

Next steps:

  1. Approval from BackerKit: Once I receive approval from BackerKit, I will proceed with the smoke test.
  2. Smoke Test: This initial test will ensure everything is functioning correctly before the surveys are sent out to everyone.
  3. Survey Distribution: After a successful smoke test, everyone will receive their surveys and have access to the preorder shop

Your support means the world to me, and I cannot thank you enough for your love, patience and understanding. As a token of my appreciation, I am including a special surprise in each of your orders. Your continued support and encouragement have been a beacon of hope for me, and I am incredibly grateful.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing by me and giving me the time I needed to get back on my feet. 

I love you all!!
Christy 

Currently battling an illness. Still on track for July shipping. Please be patient with me. Updates next week! <3
