Website Content For A Stylist
This was a fun piece, because deep down I would love to have a stylist take me shopping. I tried to keep this conversational and fun, yet still professional.
Finding your individual style can be hard, especially if it
has been a while since you have given it an in-depth look. Luckily, wardrobes
can change with the season and we can always find ways to change with them. But
it can be daunting to do it on your own. I’ve seen many people balk at the
thought of going to the store and picking out new clothes for a new season
because they are:
·
Overwhelmed at the many choices in the store
·
Unsure of how to piece together an outfit from
store items
·
Unsure of what looks good on them
·
Not up to date with the latest trends
You
do not have to be wary of clothes shopping any longer. Put my fashion expertise
to work for you to get rid of the overwhelming feeling that goes hand in hand
with purchasing new clothes. With a Personal Shopping session, I can help you
address your style concerns and update your wardrobe with ease. Together we
will create looks in the store that flatter your body and honor your individual
style. When you return home, you’ll not only have some amazing new ensembles,
but you’ll also have the tools you need to shop confidently for yourself in the
future.
These
Personal Shopping sessions typically last up to four hours, and will cut down
on shopping anxiety. Before we even set foot in the store, I provide you with a
questionnaire and ask for photos of clothing items that inspire you. I will use
your responses to cultivate an idea of what you are looking for in your fashion
choices, your individual style. Once you and I have determined what your
individual style is, choosing pieces to try on becomes far easier. We can even
choose accessories that highlight your unique style and mesh seamlessly with
your new outfits.
I
arrive at the store or stores of your choice in advance, pull designs that
catch my trained eye as something that will flatter and be fashionable, and set
up a dressing room for you. If you need a different size or a different piece
while you are trying on clothes, I will find it and bring it to your dressing
room. I’m also available at an hourly rate if you’d like to walk around the
store and pick items together.
More
importantly than the convenience of having someone pull items, I will also show
you how to combine pieces that bring out your own personal style and are also
aligned with this season’s trends. I will also help you understand why certain
pieces look great on your body and why others fizzle. Never underestimate the
power of your individual style. When you look great, you begin to act more
confidently in other areas of your life.
With
a Personal Shopping session, you and I will hone in on your unique look, and
you will learn how to choose colors and styles that flatter your body for your
future shopping trips. By learning these necessities, you will be order to shop
successfully on your own whether it is for a special occasion, work attire, or
just to introduce some new pieces into your wardrobe.
Travel Guide - Day Trip in Chiang Mai
This piece (and dozens of other samples I can provide in this vein) was a joy to write because I love writing about the world that I may never get to see! It gave me a chance to explore in my own way.
If you want to get to know Chiang Mai in a fun and quick
way, our one day package is for you! You’ll get to try some different foods,
see noteworthy cultural places and shows, and, of course, see the elephants.
And you can do this all in one day!
We start off our morning activities with a visit to the Mae
Sa Elephant Camp. Here, you’ll see an elephant show and get some personal time
with the elephants in a natural habitat that is healthy for the big creatures.
Mae Sa is working to preserve the Asian elephant, which is becoming threatened
in the wild. You may even get a chance to hop on board the elephant’s back!
After our elephant visit, we will stop by an orchid farm so you can see how
these tropical flowers are cultivated.
We return to your hotel for an hour break around noon, and
come to pick you up by 1:30 PM. During the break, put on your appropriate
temple clothes and get ready to see the beauty of Doi Suthep – one of Chiang
Mai’s most famous temples. Wear something comfortable – there are more than 300
stairs to climb (or you can pay a small fee to take the easy tram up the
mountain). You’ll be awed by the amazing architecture, the well-kept grounds,
the stunning pagodas and artwork, so make sure to bring your camera. This
mountain temple is perfect for taking photos as you can see much of the Chiang
Mai area from the temple. After our temple excursion, we’ll take you to your
hotel for around an hour to change for our nighttime outing!
Get dressed up and ready for fun, because we are visiting a
fun, cultural show for our dinner outing. You are going to love the Northern
Thai food while taking in the traditional music and dance of Thailand. The
Khantoke show covers several different types of Thai dances with brilliant
costumes and music. This show is a wonderful way to wrap up a day full of fun
Thai sights.
Myspoonful Post About London's Still Corners
I have written a ton of short band bios for this website over the past few years. I consistently enjoy learning about new artists. I started writing for Myspoonful as a college student when I interned at the then-connected events company, Noise Pop, Inc. You can find all of my work at http://myspoonful.com/author/lauren/.
Hometown: London
For Fans Of: JJAMZ, Glass Candy
Categories: Indie, Pop, Electronic
Still Corners consists of Tessa Murray and Greg Hughes, who
are joined by friends Leon Dufficy and Luke Jarvis to expand on the record for
live shows. Hughes, main songwriter of Still Corners, seems to play around with
sound – seemingly letting the noise in his brain out via this record. His
partner Tessa breathes her vocals over the music, to create something
interesting – ready to pull even the most disinterested music listener into
their world.
Still Corners washes over your ears like a dream – all
ambience-laced indie and synth sounds with little sign of letting up. Sweet and
inspiring, the band’s new album Strange
Pleasures(Sub Pop) features a whole lot of harmonies, whispered, airy
vocals, and lyrics that aren’t so strange after all. Standout track “Berlin
Lovers” has the relatable (for anyone who has gone through a too long gloomy
winter) lines, “We can't see what's real/ We don't know the time/We only want
to feel the light, yeah.”
The band started in the late 2000s with a handful of
well-received EPs. Greg added female vocalist Tessa (whom he met at a train
stop) to the mix and things took off with debut LP Creatures of the Hour. Now the band has played all the right
festivals, dropped a new album last May on Sub Pop, and toured the world –
including stops in the US this week with CHVRCHES. Not bad for a group whose
core members met because they both took the wrong trains.
Copy For Website (With Integrated Keywords)
I love to drink coffee, and I loved writing this copy for a commercial and home coffee supplier. A piece like this took no time at all! I was provided with keywords and guidelines, and a really quick turnaround date...overall a fun project that was completed on time.
Running a coffee shop in New York can be a little hectic,
but (Client Name) is here to make your life easier with the best espresso
machines, best cappuccino machines, and
coffee accessories that the industry has to offer. Our business is to bring the
best in automatic espresso machines to you, whether it is for your home or a
commercial business. We import directly from Italy, so if you need an Italian
espresso machine look no further. We have the highest quality products
available today. If you need espresso
machine parts or are wondering what machine is right for your home or business,
give us a call and ask one of our experts for help. (Client Name)’s experienced
technicians also offer quality repair service.
Home Espresso
Do you want the joy of amazing espresso without having to
leave the comfort of your home? A professional home espresso machine is what
you need to add to your kitchen. During the snowy winter days, espresso
machines for home come in quite handy – don’t be surprised if neighbors come to
you for a morning fix of caffeine. You’ll be happy that you have the best home
espresso maker on the market when you have to host a brunch, have an icy
driveway, or simply don’t want to venture outside before noon. (Client Name)
has the best home espresso machines available, so you can drink fantastic
coffee every morning. Call one of our experts if you have any questions about
the best espresso machine for home use.
Dual Boiler
If you want the steam and heat of a great espresso machine
packed into a small enough size to fit in your kitchen, (Client Name) has an
array of dual boiler espresso machines to choose from. Coffee shops use double
boiler espresso machines because they are quick and make a great shot of
espresso. Why do you need two boilers? With dual boilers, milk can be steamed
while the coffee is brewing – saving you time. The temperature of espresso
machines that have double boilers tends to be more stable, giving the coffee
the same, smooth taste each time you brew a cup. The best double boiler
espresso machines allow for more control over your coffee experience, a quicker
serving time and a consistently better tasting espresso.
Grinders
The first step to great coffee and espresso comes long
before water and heat enter the picture with the perfect coffee bean grinder. That
is why it is so important to procure the best coffee grinder available. The
best espresso grinder guarantees the quality of each drink because the grind
affects the taste and strength of your brew. A grind that is too coarse makes
for a weak cup, where a too fine grind will be too strong. To compliment a home
or commercial coffee set up, it’s necessary to have a coffee grinder that
offers great control and effective grinding power. (Client Name) offers an
array of commercial coffee grinders and commercial espresso grinders to ensure
that each cup brewed is a perfect drink.
Commercial Espresso
Espresso is the go to drink for the busy people of New York
State. Every day, people stop in to local coffee shops to get that perfect
espresso and the caffeine jolt that comes with it. A consistent, great tasting
drink keeps customers returning. (Client Name) offers a huge array of commercial
espresso machines for sale to ensure that perfect brew, every time. The
commercial cappuccino machines we sell are the best available, from dual
boilers to Italian imports. A great espresso keeps customers returning, so if
you want the best commercial espresso machine for your clientele call (Client
Name). We also have experienced technicians with years of espresso machine
repair, quality parts and brewing equipment to suit your every need.
Social Media Content
I created tweets and Facebook posts for a start-up social media network focusing on the plus-size market. I loved doing the research for this because a lot of it involved cruising fashion blogs! For a social media campaign similar to this I charge $75-100 for the content depending on how many posts. I can also schedule them for you, monitor responses and interact with followers.
