Wow, I don’t think I’ve taken a Friday AND a Monday off in a mild forever. The holiday weekend was def a much-needed refresh, and I hope you all had the same peaceful, full-bellied vibes by you!
Let’s skip right into work things and make up for lost time, shall we?
Stories I’m working on now:
Reader’s Digest: Still need a few more tech-focused Father’s Day gifts! Ideally under $300, but open to some splurges. You know the affiliate drill. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Taste of Home: I got a handful of great pitches but still need more — the best outdoor pizza ovens, specifically brands sold via major retailers (Home Depot, Wayfair, Amazon, Walmart, etc). bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Lots more homewares to be reviewed for Reader’s Digest, Family Handyman, and Taste of Home in the coming weeks so if you have a bestseller with a gazillion positive Amazon reviews, hit me up.
Recently published:
This Amaranth vase is a game-changer. I reviewed it with lots of floral-infused joy.
But also OMG if you love brownies you need to know about this ALL-EDGE BROWNIE PAN! I also tried/reviewed it (pre-Passover, of course) and wow. So much wow.
Jobs:
Alexis Bittar needs new in-house PR. Yay for jewelry and accessories!
Are you a Bergdorf shopper? They need a new PR + events lead. It’s a newly-created role, so hooray for your lil’ party-lovin’ tush.
Musings:
Kaila + her really fun team did it again! Starting tomorrow, Wednesday, April 20th at 3 pm CST/4 pm EST with yours truly her monthly membership live-affiliate training club kicks off. There are a lot of exciting details, but I’m co-hosting the first one and you can see all the info at The Affiliate PR Club website. But a snippet: Affiliate PR monthly membership dedicated to supporting and training PR pros as they pitch, manage and scale Affiliate PR programs. Monthly membership includes two 60-min live sessions (one training, one Q&A) as well as access to a private Slack community for ongoing, real-time support.
Guys, I may write an article or I may not, so don’t pitch for the sake of articles please — just looking for IRL deep thoughts <3. Best mattress protectors? I buy new ones every other year or so and it’s that time again. I didn’t love the ones I bought last time, so I want genuine opinions, please! You guys were lifesavers with my home hair toning experiment, and I love all your wisdom truly, madly, deeply.
Also, three of my beloved chickens went to the big coop in the sky on my birthday thanks to a particularly hungry local fox. It was upsetting to say the least. Pour one out for Joveched, Amethyst, and Dixie if you get a chance. Yes, those were their real names. I also want to thank Sarah and Marissa for being there for my tearful chicken-related emails on Friday morning.
K, that’s it for today. I’ll circle back tomorrow with trending-on-Skimlinks stats as I pour over the data this afternoon and early tomorrow. Hug your chickens.
Aww, I'm so sorry to hear about your chickens. Hugs my friend!
The chicken lamp arrived on Friday- your birthday!!
