Beauty services raise cash for breast cancer, domestic violence prevention

FAIRFIELD — The text came in about 6 a.m. reading “let’s get our hair done.”
A few hours later, Corina and Cherrie Fontelera were sitting in the chairs at the Luxe Locks Extension Salon & Spa on the upper level of Solano Town Center mall.
The sisters were enjoying drastically reduced prices on a hair cut and eyelashes while raising money for The Sharon Randolph Foundation and the Advocates Against Domestic Violence in The African-American Community.
Corina Fontelera had a picture on her cellphone of the hair cut she wanted, which took off several inches.
Cherrie Fontelera was a little more conservative, opting to get a trim on her long locks.
The event was a win-win, Cherrie Fontelera said. She and her sister would leave with new looks and two nonprofits would earn some money.
The sisters said there is a history of cancer on their mother’s side of the family.
Stylists at Luxe Locks Extension Salon & Spa volunteered their time. Steven Weaver, whose mother is a breast cancer survivor, cut Corina Fontelera’s hair.

Salon manager Shalon McMiller said this is the third year for the cut-a-thon that also offered pink and purple hair extensions, colors used in the fights against breast cancer and domestic violence.
“It’s something I can do to help,” she said.

The Purpose Of Protein And Amino Acid In Muscle

The Purpose Of Protein And Amino Acid In Muscle

Spawn supplement is just another of the barely legal steroid supplements permitted to be sold and used as muscle builders. In doing a bit of research, I found out that Spawn supplement is actually a form of Prohormone, which is technically different from a steroid in that a prohormone isn't immediately useful to the body but must be metabolized first, whereas a steroid is already in its finished, useful state.

Many athletes and body builders take NO2 Blast regularly to support muscle repair and growth, however most NO2 Blast do not contain the raw materials needed by the body to repair corresponding connective tissue damage. Protein Hydrate Hydrolyzed Collagen taken as a food supplement provides the proper ratios of amino acids needed for collagen production. In addition, hydrolyzed collagen contains naturally occurring glucosamine and hyaluronic acid which supports connective tissue repair as well as providing hydrating and volumizing effects due to the natural ability of connective tissues to hold water.

Most supplements are targeted at the average guy. The average guy is overweight and looking to get leaner. Maybe he's also looking to pack on muscle while he's at it. This is the world that the supplement companies are presented with and, understandably, they respond by making supplements that are targeted at these guys. Us ectomorphs looking to build muscle mass thus need something a little different. When you're weight training your vitamin and mineral requirements increase accordingly. In order to maximize your muscle building potential it's a wise idea to include multivitamins in your supplementing regiment. L-Citrulline is an amino acid known for contributing to building strength, quickening metabolism, and increasing skin tissue strength.

How Airbnb's CMO Transformed the Company Into a Super Brand in Just 18 Months

How Airbnb's CMO Transformed the Company Into a Super Brand in Just 18 Months

Marketers need to be fearless By Katie Richards

When Airbnb CEO and co-founder Brian Chesky approached Jonathan Mildenhall about taking on the CMO role at Airbnb 18 months ago, Mildenhall said he was a bit skeptical. He was, after all, working with one of the greatest storytellers and one of the most visible brands in the world—Coca-Cola.   

"Our vision for Airbnb isn't just ambitious. It's historic. We want to be the next global super brand," Chesky told Mildenhall when the two first met. With that, the Coke exec was sold.

Joining the Airbnb team meant that Mildenhall would have the chance to take a new brand and build it from the ground up. Speaking at the National Advertisers Masters of Marketing Annual Conference in Orlando, Airbnb's CMO shared his strategy and some challenges he's faced on the road to building a super brand that now operates in over 190 countries and more than 34,000 cities.

In his new role, Mildenhall said he knew he needed to look to some of the leading brands in the world, citing Apple, Starbucks, Nike, Disney and Virgin as sources of inspiration. But copying these leaders wouldn't do a startup like Airbnb any good. "We couldn't use anyone else's playbook. We had to create our own," Mildenhall said.

Airbnb had an inherently unique and difficult challenge in that the idea of staying in a stranger's home, or allowing a stranger to stay in your home, is scary. What if someone steals your jewelry, harms you, provides you with dirty accommodations? These serious questions spurred Mildenhall's marketing strategy. 

That led to the brand's very first international TV campaign, "Never a Stranger." For the spot, the CMO said he deliberately cast a single white female who wants to travel the world alone as the lead.

How Pepsi Landed the Perfect Product Placement, Then Made It a Reality

Meet the integration guru who invented the future By Marty Swant
 
There was a time in the past when the future was not yet real. It was before Marty McFly and Doc raced through decades in a beat-up DeLorean, before hoverboards, before self-lacing shoes.

It also was a time before Pepsi Perfect.

On Oct. 21, 2015—the very day Michael J. Fox's character in Back to the Future II arrived from the 1980s into what is nearly now the present—Pepsi will, for the first time, sell bottles of Pepsi Perfect. The fictional soft drink, rich in vitamins in the movie (and now rich in pop culture), became a non-Coca-Cola classic, at a time when the red-and-white rival ruled Hollywood.

But the tale of how Pepsi Perfect arrived in "Back to the Future II" is a story in its own right.

When the 1980s began, Pepsi hadn't yet entered the realm of product integration for movies. Coca-Cola, on the other hand, had been working its way into movies since the 1916 silent film The Mystery of The Leaping Fish. By the '80s, Coke had built a full wing of its business around product tie-ins.

"Coke had had a product placement program for 20 years," said Bradford Brown, co-founder of Davie Brown Entertainment, the company that has handled placements for Pepsi since the beginning. "And for every movie there's a bottle in, it's always Coke. It's only Coke."

Placing Pepsi

In 1982, Coca-Cola acquired Columbia Pictures, just a few weeks before launching Diet Coke, making the probability of more Coca Cola even more ubiquitous in Hollywood. Brown, who had become friends with Pepsi's then-president Roger Enrico, told Enrico that Pepsi should consider launching its own initiative to enter the big screen.
