What We Love This Wednesday

 

1. First-Time Love

Not the Brenda/Dylan, Cory/Topanga, Joey/Dawson kind.  We’re talking about the love that you get from businesses for being a first-time customer! 

Chicago seems to have mastered this.   

Prove it? Ok...

 

Ex. 1 Fitness: Barre Bee Fit, Chicago’s amazing barre workout studio, offers first-time classes for only $8, and an entire month for new clients at just $80 (vs. the regular $125)!

 Ex. 2 Beauty: Lauren recently called a yelp-load of nail salons to book a manicure/pedicure and found that when she asked for the price, at least 75% offered a first time customer deal!  Looks like all you have to do is ask! 

We're inspired!

Smart, beautiful, engaged to a very funny man—the law of “that’s not fair” says we should hate you, but we don’t...not even a little! 

We loved getting this article in our inboxes! Punchy and well-written. With a birthday around the corner (not quite 30, but close enough) this struck a chord.  We like the message here, and we definitely like you.

3. Breaking the news...with puppies!

Do other people do this or have I started something?  For the past few months, I’ve been texting “bad news” via puppy pictures. (Nothing actually earth shattering, think: running late, leaving the bar without saying goodbye, canceling appointments...)  Using some crafty apps and my instagram puppy friends, I crop, sticker, and text anything I want on a puppy.  People can’t be upset when it comes from one of these guys...

 Even works for peer pressure...

Happy Hump Day!
