An In the Streets Chick: Post-it Party

 

 

I had a blast learning what Post-it has coming down the piple line last night. From new colors and prints to chic dispensers and journals, they’ve got some exciting products on the horizon. Yes, I’m a bit of a paper nerd. I get giddy over notebooks and such, so I’m not blowing blogger smoke when I gush about the event. As I entered the space I was greeted by an “Electric Glow” cocktail and a Post-it art installation.

 

 

 

 

 

Then I took a cute color quiz to see which color collection fits my personality… I had a feeling it would be one of the bright ones (actually I HOPED), and, well… color me happy!

 

My cohort and I found it funny that they invited attendees to write their ideas for new products on Post-its and then stick them onto the wall (get us drunk and have us share our ideas. Then use the ones you like without having to pay the people who conceived them. I see you Post-it lol). Here are my ideas… if you see either of these in the stores, you know who thought of them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, for my favorite products… (fashion inspired Post-it dispensers, paisley prints and a tape dispenser that looks like a sandal)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lastly, I really liked that there was a community oriented element. We were all asked to provide an inspirational message on a Post-it. The entire collection will be shipped to students in Kentucky whose school was destroyed by one of the recent tornadoes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS- They gave us a pretty awesome goody bag!!!

I’m an In the Streets Chick: Belvedere Intense Unfiltered Party

Let’s Have a Toast to The…

I think I may have somehow forgotten to mention this, but worked on the digital outreach for Belvedere Vodka’s “A Bartender’s Dream Job” Contest and the launch of the new Intense Unfiltered variety (never did see blog posts from certain bloggers- who attended the tasting AND got comp bottles, but I know that comes with the territory). They had two launch parties for Intense Unfiltered this week in New York- one on Monday or Tues (which I was unable to attend) and another last night. (Here I am with one of my fave Belvedere folks. Our pic was on Guest of a Guest.)

Intense Unfiltered is made using food-grade grains and formulated to maintain its flavor, so it’s perfect for consumption by itself (like a scotch or cognac), but it also works well in certain cocktails. The Intense Sunrise and Intense Gimlet were served at the party, and while I actually prefer Intense Unfiltered neat, the gimlet was my favorite of the two cocktail choices. (I somehow couldn’t make any of them last long enough to take a pic, but here’s one of the sunrise.)

Intense Unfiltered is also 80 proof… that’s stronger than a lot of other vodkas, but it’s smooth enough that I think a lot of partygoers missed that point (especially a certain young lady who was clearly drunk very soon after the party started). However, a certain group of gents (Team Mancini) toasted and tippled with class all night. Cheers!
