This weekend I had the honor of speaking to a few of my fellow Pink Locket shoppers, who have expressed interest in purchasing more fabulous jewelry pieces. I understand that this economy has us all going nuts! And it just seems that we can’t get a deal anywhere we turn…especially at the gas pump!Beginning this Friday, July 11th The Pink Locket will be marking down its older jewelry items. Bracelets, Necklaces, Earrings and the fabulous cluster “ring” will all be marked down anywhere from 15%-50%. The sale will run until July 23rd or until the entire sale items are sold. For those Pink Locketeers who missed our summer kick-off sale last month, here’s your chance to get those fabulous pieces at a discounted price.Until then SHOP PINK!~Kamilah C.http://thepinklocket.com

Blue Jean Bandits

Posted by Kamilah Campbell on July 3, 2008 at 2:15pm

These crews of bandits are really beginning to hurt small boutique businesses in Atlanta. For the past year, many women’s and men’s boutique in the Atlanta metro area have been burglarized by these bandits, who have stolen designer jeans retailing at $200 and selling them on the black market for as low as $70. Talk about a deeply discounted product.With most boutiques being hit more than once, these thefts are severely affecting the businesses and some boutique owners say if they are hit again by these perpetrators they will have to close their business. Some of the most popular brands targeted are True Religion, Rock N Republic, Citizens of Humanity, Red Monkey and Evisu. In one hit these thieves are getting away with on average about $100,000 in merchandise. Some business owners have had to pay to hire security guards and not mention their insurance premiums have nearly tripled.Since I’m a solution minded person, I came up with a possible solution. Here goes, let me know what you think….· Discontinue the sale of designer jeans in these boutiques and let your customers know that they are Web Exclusive items that can be ordered via your stores website and only keep samples of each size per brand in the store so that your customer will know what size to order via the web. This will also help drive additional business to the stores site and help boost sales in a tech savvy way.I know it’s a great feeling as a customer to actual go into the store and walk away with the merchandise. However, I’m one of those customers that loves to shop online and would rather make my purchase this way.

YBR Beauty Pick: Mineral Indulgence Beauty Line

Posted by Alecia D. on May 23, 2008 at 5:20am

In today's environmentally safe and health conscious world it's hard to escape all of the new research and information available on living a greener life. While it is important to focus on the impact toxins have on our earth, it's equally important to focus on the impact they have on our beauty.Let's face it, "We are what we eat and what we put on our skin", says master herbalist and natural health guru, Ashia P. "Toxic chemicals in our food and body care products are now found in everything from toothpaste to dish washing detergent. The health and beauty industry is not monitored by the government to make sure that they are not producing toxic products for consumer use. Therefore it is important for consumers to be proactive and aware of the dangers that lurk from within!"That's where Mineral Indulgence comes in. Mineral Indulgence is a beauty line that specializes in products that are less chemically based, certified organic, and all around good for our hair, skin, and body! I just ordered a bottle of the Shea & Cocoa Butter Hair Creme and the Honey Avocado Moisturizing Facial Soap. I'll be sure to let you know how it goes!Check out more blogging here!
