Massage Lotion Body Shots - JUST What I Needed this Holiday!

With like six thousand massage parlors surrounding our spas, I thought we needed to offer our clients a little something extra this holiday season.  Thought to myself, "how would I want the experience to be unique?"  That's when I posed the question to my social followers:  "Which holiday scent would you drop everything for?"  I can always count on my peeps to point me in the right direction.  Feedback galore.  And with that, I introduce our line of AMAZING holiday lotion body shots.  Add-ons to any massage treatment at Kalologie in Thousand Oaks.  Enjoy!

How The Little Asian Guy "Psy" Affirms The Power of the Mighty American Marketing Machine

My Facebook Post Today:

Thousands of screaming people when this guy came out to do his interview with Mario Lopez and Maria Menudo at the Grove last night. Dig the new sassy Asian craze that's so hot right now in fashion and beauty, just not getting this little guy. Thoughts?

Okay now I'm getting it.  Went to my sources to figure out the business side of his new popularity (of course I did).  Basically he's been around for like over 12 years in Asia, but just recently signed with new management (YG Entertainment) and since has had a ton of new social media celeb cross endorsements from American artists like Katie Perry and Brittany.  Views exploded on YouTube and now he's touring the American circuit (talk shows, etc) teaching everybody "Gangnam Style".

So today's little takeaway for me, is yet more affirmation:  America is STILL the most powerful branding/marketing machine in the world and it's not cool until Hollywood says it's cool.  Love it!

Fashion Designers Showcasing Tech During Fashion Week 2012

It seems that Tech, or I should say Silicon Valley continues to be wooed for its hand in marriage by  many industries.  First it was courted heavily by Hollywood for its gaming allure.  Now it seems the Fashion industry has shown up with roses in hand.

Fashion week is always full of the latest, most exciting designer creations.  This year was no different. However, tech was invited to the party, not only as production, but rather the star taking center stage.   I mean you know when Sarah Jessica Parker (aka forever Carrie) is matchie matchie with the new Google glasses debuted on the runway this year by Diane Von Furstenberg, the trend has legs. 

Other designers were hot to tech trend their stuff too.  Christopher Baily of Burberry shares about his 2012 collection:  "I wanted the collection to be the celebration of these merging worlds." [physical & digital]
