This Los Angeles food hall is a must visit
You’re walking around with your group in Downtown L.A. You’re all hungry, but you don’t know what to eat. You can’t agree on a single restaurant. Well, maybe you shouldn’t commit to just one.

Taking some sips at 6XS Coffee
I walked into 6XS Coffee in Downtown LA, an eager visitor excited to try a new coffee shop. Adding to the new experiences, I went with their Oak Latte, flavored with a corn syrup. Go big or go home, right? Depending on your cultural background, a drink that tastes of sweet corn may not be…

Was the Leaked Labs launch overpriced?
How much should flexi-eye shadows cost? Is $34 enough or too much? I don’t personally have any idea about product development costs, marketing costs, and the expected profit margins for beauty brands. But what I do know is that a lot of people have come out to say that this first drop from Leaked Labs…

If Leaked Labs had an ideal customer
If I was to guess the original customer profile that Leaked Labs started with, it would be a beauty innovator. This viral influence beauty brand likely began with the early adopters in mind. They imagined the person who wants to be ahead of the curve and is willing to pay to stay there. It would…
