New England, Massachusetts especially, is really big into sports. We love to win. We love to cheer our teams on and (win, lose, or draw) riot in response. It was midway through the 2013 World Series and that night the Red Sox were playing the Cardinals in St. Louis. What better way to celebrate than […]
Recently I got my Food Handlers Certification! I did an in-store sampling gig last week and I was surprised at how into it I was! In the end I sold “six cases” of Yoplait Greek blended yogurt. Secret? I don’t like Greek yogurt. Greek Yogurt is all the rage and people are forcing it into their […]

Then Monster teamed up with Walgreens to help stock their new Well Connected section, which features technology from car-port USB adapters to Verizon cell phones. We focused on youth friendly […]
Microsoft opened a store in the Burlington Mall and wanted to welcome themselves to the neighborhood in a big way. I wasn’t sure what to expect from a tech store grand opening. Honestly, my expectation was a lot of grey suits and demonstrations, a la product launch talks… Boy was I wrong. In a two […]
Sunday I was called to be an alternate at the Oddball Comedy Festival, promoting Airheads candy! Ohmigawd, remember those?! They’re like easier to chew taffy in amazing flavors. We use to get them at the candy store around the corner from The Boys and Girls Club after school. This promo was so much fun. I […]
