Short work week, tight turnarounds :)
I hope it’s sunny and warm anywhere you may be, because it’s *finally* nice in New York today and I’m in a super good mood even though Dunkin apparently canceled the French cruller donut for good (an actual sin—someone at RF Binder really should’ve put out a press release or warned the people with a smoke signal, but whatever).
Anywho, I’m taking off Friday and know lots of other people are too, so let’s hop right into all these time-sensitive stories!
Stories I need pitches for ASAP:
Reader’s Digest: Rounding up all the best Memorial Day weekend sales across most shopping verticals (sorry, no sex or booze but just about everything else ranging from homewares to fashion, kids to travel, etc). Pitch ASAP! Need by mid-day Wednesday at the latest. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
URGENT Reader’s Digest: All the best Memorial Day weekend FURNITURE sales (also mattresses). Need info like YESTERDAY. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
URGENT Taste of Home: Writing in first person as the Home Editor across our titles, “The Taste of Home Guide to Shopping at Wayfair.” I’ll be rounding up 20-30 of my personal must-shop items, so if you’ve pitched me your clients and I’ve loved ‘em and/or already tried ‘em, send me a reminder. It’s hard to write a story about my favorite things if I’ve never heard of them or seen them, so please don’t pitch something out of left field for this particular piece. bryce@theluxuryspot.com (here’s a recent example although I’ll have a much bigger, bolder piece this time around)

I’ve reviewed a lot of vacuums in my day (adulthood, hooray!). The ThisWorx car vacuum has so many Amazon reviews it’s sorta startling, so I wrote about it.

Still have feelings about the donuts.
Did you know there’s a Baby Shark rap channel on YouTube? Like Baby Shark rapping all the current chart-toppers? It’s amazing. My toddler showed me. Super enthusiastic about this. If you have kids, get involved. If you don’t have kids, still get involved.
That’s it for now! Lots more tomorrow. Gotta hustle on a gazillion deadlines so holidays can happen this weekend <3
