This past weekend I came across two interesting things to share with you this Tuesday. One is semi-informational; the other semi-inspirational...though to be sure, it's inspiration where you wouldn't expect it. So here you go...Two things Tuesday for you!
1. The first is a HUGE demographical study breaking down areas by zip code, and looking at the type of people that live there. It's super interesting because when I entered all three of the zip codes that I've lived in, each one was 100% accurate in its assessment of the neighborhood breakdown and "tapestry" (what the area is like) ratings. Check it out, and poke around neighborhoods all over the country. It's very cool! CLICK HERE
2. So the other day I was waiting for my Youtube video to load, and had opened another window to check my email during the wait. Before my video, an advertisement played, and it was this inspirational, women rock kind of thing...and when I clicked over to see what the product was, I found out it was an Always commercial. Yes, I mean Always the feminine products company. Nowhere in the commercial do they promote their actual product, so I guess they're kind of going for a "if you feel like a pad company is empowering you as a woman, you will use their pads" kind of strategy. I'm not sure if it's translating into actual sales for them or not, but I do appreciate that they've at least moved away from the "I'm a woman with my period, and I can wear all white when I use (insert product here)" strategy. No woman is wearing all white...I don't care how good the commercial/product is. That's just a stupid idea. But every woman should kick boxes with insults written on them!
Have a happy Tuesday...Always...
Happy Trails,
