I want to thank everyone for all the super sweet, loving notes about my new pups. I posted some more pics here and here (trying to get better about posting to IG, I used to be so diligent!), should anyone need a hearty dose of pup love.
And if you’re having a rough day or week, shoot, drive over to Woodstock. Puppy therapy is legit and it’s 100% free at Casa Gruber-Hermon.
And before I continue, a mega-hearty THANK YOU to my friends at Petsmart for showering my lil’ pups with all sorts of whelping goodies. Y’all are the best.
Need pitches:
Today’s Parent: Mom-safe and baby-safe bestselling beauty and hygiene reviews galore! Seriously, I have a goal to get about 20 of them up between now and mid April. OMG. If your brand is a pregs/breastfeeding/mom/baby-safe wonder that sells like hotcakes on Amazon, holler. Key things to consider: you should be good about social media shares (bonus points for brands that promote feature content) + at least 1,000 Amazon ratings. Everything from shampoo to body cream, makeup to bath soaks, perfume to potions will be considered. Example of a recent one: this Lavanila perfume review bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Today’s Parent: For my SEO wizards, send me all your family travel-related pitches. I’m all ears and building out an entire hub focused on this topic. Best resorts, best hotel pools for kids, best gear (like this best toddler travel bed story I put up today), etc. bryce@theluxuryspot.com (btw, if you’re not familiar with how to best send SEO-driven pitches, this is part of what I talk about in the Affiliate Tribe)
Today’s Parent: Need a maternity stylist/fashion expert to comment on some fashion-focused pieces for pregnant gals. Can’t be associated with a brand, please be an independent stylist. Will send specific questions. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
NewsBreak: Best sales/deals happening in the New York City area this week (and we’ll need a little photography to go along with it). Happy to promote big box retailers too, but would like to highlight a mix of both large national retailers and adorably local chains. Be good about social shares, please. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Today’s Parent: Reviewing/writing up the best double travel strollers on the market. Must be skimlinks or major retailer-ready. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Today’s Parent: Celeb mom interviews galore. Products they swear by, interviews and the works. Ongoing. Hit me up. Be good about social (sorry in advance, TikTok influencers aren’t good for this for a variety of reasons). bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Other updates: still combining through all the best maternity fashion brands pitches. Working on that piece today. Sifting through everyone’s Mother’s Day pitches too, thanks!
