I’m a bit later than usual, but that’s okay. I was helping my neighbor clear snow from his reasonably-long driveway early this morning (that’s usually when I get my first batch of work done) and was bummed to find my Apple Watch only recorded 20 burned calories. Now, I’m not a stickler for calories in or out—I just prefer the idea of being validated by my watch for work that was hard enough to work up a sweat. If you’re the PR gal for Apple (I know you’re here), I beg you to alert the company that snow shoveling is apparently not recognized by the watch. This is the iOS update I’m really looking for. TIA.
Onto a quickie newsletter with some non-physical work, shall we?
Pitch me, please!
Reader’s Digest: Still need a few more furniture and fashion sales to add to our Presidents Day weekend deals roundup! Will continue to consider other verticals, but I really need more fashion retailers + furniture right now. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Taste of Home: Affordable/cheap kitchen gadgets pro cooks actually use at home. Ideally items $20-ish or less, but a few more expensive items will be included… nothing super fancy though! This is a fun piece that should include items like silicone spatulas, basting brushes, garlic presses, mason jars, etc! Ideally major retailers like Walmart, Target, Amazon, but I’m also open to smaller and DTC retailers if they’re skimlinks-ready. Pitch by EOW! bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Taste of Home: Best baking tools under $20! Same as above, but obvi for baking. Also need affiliate-ready. Early next week deadline. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Taste of Home: Kitchen step stools that help you reach the top shelf. Apparently, a lot of our readers are petite. I’d like to help them get high. With step stools (legal in all 50!). Pitch me your best by end of next week. bryce@theluxuryspot.com

Going to include a fuller list tomorrow because a lot has published + I need to sift through my dashboard, but if you helped with this story on the best Home Depot home decor pieces… it’s live! Thank you <3
Other thoughts:
Going to send out my Skimlinks State of the Union address later today. JK, it’s just the what’s-trending-this-week list. Stay tuned for that, have to just finish a an article for TOH first!
More jobs, internships (paid), etc. coming in tomorrow’s newsletter.
Also, if you’re on the PR side and looking for content pitch ideas: early Feb does extremely well with coffee gear, home decor, loungewear, and what I’d deem minimal-effort-haircare (ie sleep with this product in to wake up looking like a goddess, or this one tool gives you perfect curls in under 4 minutes).
I’ve tried every avenue I know to help a dear friend get her very name-brand company’s Twitter profile verified. For whatever reason, Twitter isn’t doing it (they have a massive and legit following and oodles of positive press). Anyone here know how I can help her out? Would owe you one <3
See you soon with the affiliate blast, lovelies!
