For my first master's class, I am taking a marketing class in which you learn a bunch of terms for processes and behaviors that are essentially common sense. Regardless, it is a breath of fresh air from the past six years of life in school and career. Buzz marketing and word of mouth are two of the most influential ways to get a product some attention, so I would like to promote the following companies / products:

- Bare Minerals Makeup: My skin has looked better than it ever has over the last year, and I attribute it to my mom giving me some of her Bare Minerals products that she didn't want.
- Hollywood Video: Great customer service, selection, clubs / promotions
- StoryPeople: creative, heart-touching, funny, and unique pieces of art

That is all I can think of right now, but I want to spotlight good products and companies from now on. Maybe I will add another box to the sidebar.

B and I are headed to Charlotte this weekend. I am the Project Manager for a joint NA-YGN field day event with the Charlotte chapter. I ended up with a wopping six member from Lynchburg attending..... geeeeez. We will also be spending the day looking for housing in Charlotte. I just absolutely love Charlotte; I cannot say enough positive things about living in Charlotte.

In other news, I must give President Obama a shout out... Obama Signs Sweeping Anti-Smoking Bill and Michelle is still as awesome as ever.
