Say Cheese!

Week 9
July 15- July 19

As usual, I was excited for my two favorite days at Good Housekeeping. This week, Jasmine was in Italy on vacation and Victoria was busy going to PR open houses to see trends for fall, so Alena and I were alone for most of the day in the closet. No worries, we were busy as every and started a few new projects. Victoria wanted to clean out the closet as a surprise for Jasmine's return. Alena and I and the other interns took turns tackling different parts of the closet, some that looked like that had been untouched for years. By the time we were done, the place looked amazing. We cleaned out a ton and were able to send some stuff back that had been lingering in the closet for far too long. For the things we could not find homes for, we put into a giveaway bin. I'm excited for Jasmine to come back to see her reaction about the closet and most of all to approve the things in the giveaway bin so we can start rummaging through it for ourselves! Alena and I also started to update the contact sheet. We started a new doc on Google that everyone can access and began with contacting various contacts we have listed on our current sheet. We have learned that a lot of the contacts are really outdated. Hopefully, by the end of our time at Good Housekeeping we either fully update the contact list or have at least made a dent in it!

At Creative Communications, it was a happy but sad day on Wednesday as we finished our last day of shoots for the United Way. We had a full schedule and were booked solid from 9:30-5:30. As with the past days of shoots, we got to meet more really interesting Hearst employees and our photographer Phillip made the shoots a blast. The last person we shot was the editor in chief of Marie Claire, Anne Fullenwider. Her shoot took 45 minutes. She also had a personal make-up person who touched her up every few minutes. It was all quite extravagant and gave Hanna and I a good laugh. The next two days after the shoot were spent collecting quotes about the United Way charities that people had not yet given us and sorting out items for the Infiniti event that is rapidly approaching. We were able to check off a few items on our list that have been already delivered to California, however, the polos and jackets have proved to be very difficult. Every time we get a sample of a new item, the embroidery is not perfect and we have to get another sample. We are beginning to run out of time to see any new samples. Hopefully, these two items can be approved and we can move on so we can place the order so we do not have to panic in the next few weeks leading up to the event.
