We are looking for “brand ambassadors”- members who can give us brand release updates for the following brands:
xayniefor more details.Tutorial of the Week
Edgar Allan Poe Red Velvet Cake. In celebration of the Halloween month, we’re highlighting one of my favorite Gothic poet / writers, Edgar Allan Poe. Since he was a little looney...ok, very looney...we decided it wouldn’t be a bad idea to turn him into a cake and eat him. Yes, that sounds morbid but not as morbid as slaying your roommate and burying his dismembered body underneath your floorboards.

Some Questions for the Community
Thank you everyone for the overwhelming response to our first weekly newsletter. We’ve sourced all your suggestions and we heard a mixed bag of how to present the brand releases so we’ve put some options in a poll. Please take our one question poll so that we know how to move forward for next week’s issue- you are deciding the fate of this newsletter.
What should we do with the Brand Releases section?
Keep it the way it is, I like being able to click each link!
190(68.6%)
Shorten it by sending us to just the landing pages instead (ex. Meta Winter Collection page, Meta new arrivals page, IW new releases page, etc.)
71(25.6%)
Ditch the Brand Release section, it’s too much work for mods / I visit the brand pages anyway!
