You wanna smell like Jake Paul?
To say that Jake Paul made his foray into boxing would be under-descriptive. He has gone after the pursuit, wholeheartedly, if not brashly. And though he has a bout against Mike Tyson looming, he’s going after a different W. That is his very own line of bodycare, W by Jake Paul. The line of products…

Rihanna is the new face of J’Adore
It has happened. Rihanna will be the new face of J’Adore by Dior. Previously the role was occupied by Charlize Theron for 20 years. (That is absolutely wild to me.) The new ad campaigns won’t be out until September. Maybe I will cover those then, but let’s take this in another direction. I wonder not…

Too much celebrity?
I popped in to watch the live stream of the Louis Vuitton men’s show. The live chat was already going. S. Jackson! Jackson! Jackson! Viewers were clamoring for Jackson Wang, just to get view of him heading into the show or seated first row. I can’t be sure if they were there for the clothes…

So, about email marketing
I was listening to a podcast about email marketing. They made it seem so easy. You need more email addresses to send your stuff to. That’s your main problem. I took that information in and thought of all the ways I could get more people to give me their email addresses. Now I’m thinking that’s…

Same factory but not the same thing
“I heard that because Sephora and Dior are both owned by LVMH that means they are made in the same factory. That means that Sephora Collection is basically the same as Dior Beauty products.” Easy on the transitive property. It’s not that simple. First let me say that just because two brands have the same…

In defense of good packaging
I picked up the store brand oatmeal container to make my breakfast for the day. Going to pour the grains into my bowl, I could feel the cardboard start to give way in my hand. I steadied it with both hands to avoid disaster. Perhaps they are the exact same oats as the premium brand,…

One way to get more ideas
“You could create our next big flavor.” The possibility intrigued me. There were multiple flavors I wished the product came in, so I submitted my answers, hoping to win. I didn’t win. Then I saw the flavors chosen and the open vote to figure out which one would end up on grocery store shelves. I…

The customer is always right about this one thing
It’s the phrase that has become the bane of the service worker’s existence: The customer is always right. Those five words have been stretched to justify a string of bad behaviors and to push workers to do anything to placate dissatisfied, and rude, customers. But, I personally don’t believe that’s what we should be using…

Wait, tell me again about user centered design
You might have seen the phrase before (possibly from me), user centered design. What is it? In the most simplified definition, it is exactly what the name would suggest. It is about making sure you are thinking about whoever is going to end up using your product, while you design it, to make sure it…

This post is only kinda about a foam run
It was going to be my first race/vacation. I was excited to do the foam run, I even watched videos to prepare. Did I train? No, but it was about the party anyway. The nighttime event would feature glow in the dark foam, which made it all the more appealing. We arrived at the event…
