It’s Friday, so let’s get to it quickly.
I know, I know. Holiday season seems really far off, but if you’re working ahead of the Google algo and trying to format mega guides that’ll syndicate out pretty far and wide, it’s basically New Year’s Eve in about five minutes.
Also, it’s officially October and the view from my driveway is looking pretty colorful (I’m a bit north of NYC and a few thousand feet higher in elevation). Treating you to my view in case you’re interested and count raking leaves as your top hobby:
Goes without saying, but I’ll say it, no filters on this one. Just unadulterated Catskills yard action. Sadly, I was unable to get my chickens in the shot. The one Aly Walansky named prefers coop life.
Here’s what I’m working on now:
RD.com: Best of Amazon’s massive beauty sale starting October 4. I need pitches by EOD Monday, so don’t sleep on this one! Think well-loved, well-reviewed cult faves at unbeatable deals. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
RD.com: Finishing hostess gifts this weekend! I’m serious about that skimlinks jazz though. It’s a requirement. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Family Handyman: Things you def should be buying at Walmart. Open to shopping expert quotes on this one, but I’ll need to send specific questions. But most importantly, send me your product pitches. Excellent value + great quality always appreciated by this audience. Pitch by EOD Monday. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
RD.com: Need a few more great tech gifts that are ideal for either smart homes or smart phones (soooo, pitch me your newly released programmable thermostats + just out to market cell phones, etc). bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Okay, some other important notes:
This remote senior digital editor job is open! Take it.
I’m going to adopt a second dog this weekend. Expect a deluge of tiny, fuzzy creature pics in Monday’s newsletter. One of my sons is turning 5 soon, so this new family addition is a sort of birthday gift to us both.
As always, feel free to share media community job leads and/or queries you want posted. Have the best weekend, friends!
I love the fall colors! Your newsletters crack me up-- you're hilarious! And congrats on the dog!
Oh my goodness, I can't wait to see the new pup! Have a great weekend :)
