Fashion Week Gift Bag
"Ha...for "whatever that is worth".....(fighting urge to be cynical)
You are right...getting name out there. Perhaps tangible benefit is for my wholesale customers and bragging rights adding a tad of "chi chi" to the brand"

"I hope that goes good for you, as I know nothing comes of those most of the time but good way to get your name out there"
Grace Antares commented on Grace Antares's photoFashion Week Gift Bag
"Well Jeanne....not a single thing came of it! I'm not entirely surprised...these giveaway things are always a gamble. But one more reason I switched to wholesale only. Not competing in the retail market at all anymore."

Finding Your Calm in a "Not So Calm" World
This last week with 500 point swings in the Dow in both directions seemed like adding a bucket of fuel to our already full "stress buckets". I believe that the effective management of stress is a key to our mental and physical health. We all must find the best ways for us to manage the things we worry about, many of which we are not in control of. Here are a few ideas you might try to see how you can lower your "stress temperature" and find serenity in a world that seems crazy…

Outsourcing Tasks that Prove Troublesome to You
There’s a tendency when running a business to do it all yourself. You want to make sure that every aspect of the business runs smoothly and is completed in a professional manner.
When you’re just starting your company, that school of thought might not only be best, but it might also be better for you financially.

Celebrating freedom on 9/11
Today is a most solemn day for Americans, as we remember the horrors of what happened in our country eight years ago. One of my most vivid memories is how our whole country united in the weeks and months that followed to listen to each other, support each other and see how we could help. Today particularly, I'm wondering where that spirit of unity has gone in the craziness that seems to have divided a country.
