  • Don’t tune out now

    So, the U.S. had an election. There has been quite a bit of talk about taxes and tariffs and how they will influence businesses and the American people overall. This is just another reminder why it is important for business owners and brands to pay attention to politics. For example, the outgoing administration has a…

  • Tell me how you really feel about the Caudalie Beauty Elixir

    I sat watching the video, as they praised the Caudalie Beauty Elixir. It was a must-have that multiple staff members kept at their desks to mist throughout the day. I kept that parked away in the recesses of mind. “Must be a good product. I should try it one day.” And then I found myself,…

  • Not coming in like a wrecking ball

    For some reason, I thought that I needed to come in like a wrecking ball. I looked at all of the bad habits I had and decided it was time to demolish them and replace them immediately with the good. The problem is that I may have wrecked myself in that process. Trying to be…

  • Somehow I missed the Zendaya x On partnership

    I saw an ad that had Zendaya and On Running together, and I had to click. When did that happen? Apparently, back in June. I am late to the party. There was an initial ad that released, “Dream Together.” For me it evoked the old Nike ads that I remembered with the dark stylized background…

  • Let’s think about the proposed tariffs on Chinese exports to the U.S. a different way

    So, regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, the recent U.S. election results will have ripple effects. For the fashion industry, they will really feel it if the proposed tariffs on Chinese exports come to pass. There are multiple brands that rely on Chinese manufacturing for their goods.

  • Singles’ Day or marketing gold

    The brief, uncited, history of Single’s Day can be summarized as this- treat yourself. A relatively recent day started in China, it is a day for singles to celebrate themselves. Whereas couples have Valentine’s Day, and pretty much every other holiday, November 11 is specifically for those who are not in relationships to celebrate themselves.…

  • Is this day for Veterans or Singles?

    If you are looking at your promotional emails today on 11/11 there are two options. First, you could be seeing tributes to veterans. Perhaps you see a free coffee for active and retired military and their family members. Or there’s just a blanket Veterans’ Day sale promo. Option number two is a message telling you…

  • Smelling Strawberry Letter by Phlur

    When I first smelled it on paper, I smiled to the beauty advisor. Strawberry Letter by Phlur brought back memories of those grandma candies, those little hard candies wrapped in a wrapped designed to look like a strawberry. I decided then and there to buy a travel size so that I could continue playing with…
