JK, but not JK about saying bye to summer. I’m totally writing this in shorts, but I’ve already gotten a bunch of fall-focused content on my plate and guess what—we’re going to be on holiday guides before you know it.
Seriously, HGGs aren’t the point of today’s newsletter, but consider these words time to prepare—Christmas and Chanukah start on the ed calendar in about two weeks. That doesn’t mean we’re churning out the content just yet, but we’re planning, slotting, and outlining in August. Oh, and Halloween already started for me!
What I need pitches for now:
Reader’s Digest: The best Labor Day mattress sales you can’t afford to miss. You know the drill! Hit me with your best shot (and make it good, bc readers don’t really care about a $2K mattress offering a free protector… they want a discount, a protector, some pillows, and a kickass warranty). bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Reader’s Digest: Best group Halloween costumes! We need affiliate-ready purchases (if Amazon, lots of great reviews otherwise we love all the other skimlinks sites!) and things that are meant to be grouped together. An entire cast of a hit TV show? Coordinating astronauts? Peanut butter and jelly? A fully stocked bar? Pitch! Need LOTS of these and this story will be shared far and wide! bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Taste of Home: Are you part of this year’s Walmart back-to-school sales? Hit me! Need details/offerings ASAP. A little about it all here. Must genuinely be B2S, so… sorry, a discount on deep conditioner doesn’t make sense for this one. Glue? Binders? Backpacks? Denim? Uniforms? Perfect! bryce@theluxuryspot.com

Jobs:
Amazon needs a new PR manager for the seller-side experience. Salary range is posted at 70-135k, but I got *strong word* that the right candidates will have a floor set at 120k. Benefits galore, but may need to relocate to WA state.

DirectTV is looking for new internal PR management. Dallas-based.
MoMa in NYC is looking for entry-level publicity coordination to work under a higher-level PR team. $20/hour
Musings:
Can I ask your advice? Do we have any vegetarian-friendly paleo recipes that I need to try? TBH, I’ve been mostly grain and dairy-free for a few months now. Sooooo I’ve eaten like 4,000 veggie burgers and 92,000 salads, but need some more ideas. How much hummus can one gal consume (and I say this as someone who was born with hummus in her blood). Hit me with ideas. Tell me what you’re eating. Started this plan at doc’s behest to rule some stuff out and now I’m feeling floaty and light and sleeping better etc, so I’m sticking with it (also none of my clothes fit anymore, so if you see me wearing the same jeans a bunch, mindyabiz, I’m cheeseless).
OMG WE HAD A TORNADO UP HERE!!! They’re pretty unusual in New York, so it was an exciting event (mostly because nobody got hurt and there was no major property damage thanks to it hitting mostly open fields near the Hudson River).
That’s it for now. More tomorrow! And as always, drop your comments/requests in the comments or email me.
Bryce, I work with Nancy's Probiotic Foods and we are about to release a reformulated Oatmilk Yogurt. Is this something in your diet? I would love to send you some samples if you are open to oatmilk. Nancy's is a third-generation family owned business and they were adding probiotics into their products back in the early 70s!
Bryce! Do you have the Whole 30 book?! Also one of my favorite cookbooks is Veganomicon. My favorite paleo recipe is found on Paleomg.Com and it’s for the paleo crepes! You can make them sweet or savory and keep the batter in the fridge for a few days so you have ready to go. I bought a simple crepe pan on Amazon, so easy! Email me if you need more tips! Xo RISA
