Cincinnati Recommendations

I had previously done a post about Things to do in Puerto Rico. Well yes, a lot of you might say Puerto Rico seems a lot more fun than Cincinnati, but I figured I should also write about things to do in Cincinnati for three main reasons:

a) I've already lived here almost 3 years so I guess I feel like more of an expert now
b) A lot of my old co-workers from Puerto Rico are in the process of moving to Cincinnati so I think could do with some recommendations, and
c) I just got a magazine that included these (May/June 2007 issue of "Inspire Cincinnati") so I'm basically just "shamelessly reapplying"

You like Boutique Hope? I used to LOVE that store, but the owner is rude, snobby and just not very nice. I informed them that one of their lines of clothing has been flagged becuase they employ children to sew the clothes, and the lady at the register told me 'she'll never stop carrying that line of clothing, we make too much money from it'

it just ticks me off. i'm glad i don't live in cincy because if i had to drive by it i'd scream!

Gigi's Baby Shower

Image
Even though I had barely done any planning with the exception of sending out the Evite , I did manage to pull off a very nice baby shower for Gigi. We did it at Essencha Tea House on Madison because we were too many to do it at the Bonbonerie . I got some decorations at Factory Card Outlet and recycled some other ones from Ida's baby shower last September. We had a great showing and the food at Essencha Tea House was really great. I had to bring Gabi with me because Jose had a soccer game but she did OK, even though she was a little tired because she skipped her afternoon nap. In any case, if anyone has a baby or wedding shower to plan, or just wants to go to eat at a nice place, I highly recommend Essencha Tea House . Oh, and the best part is that they serve breakfast all day, which as any friend of mine can bear witness to, is a HUGE plus for me. Speaking of which, after we got home and Gabi finally napped, we went to Boston Market followed by Graeter's . And tha

Marketing Jobs

Image
In my current job I see a lot of people undergoing job transitions and looking to expand their networks in order to improve their chances of future job placement.  Today I met a very interesting woman who had a very similar profile to mine, minus the international experience.  She wanted to talk to me given my similar profile in Marketing and see how I saw the job market these days. She seemed to think that it's harder and harder to find jobs in Marketing in Peru these days. One of the reasons? It seems that because of the economic downturn and the uncertainty about the election results (sounds just like the US, I know) companies are cutting back on Marketing budgets. Sounds familiar right? DON'T. CUT. BACK. ON. MARKETING. BUDGETS. FOLKS.  Maybe there's some fat that you can trim here and there, maybe you change your marketing vehicles in favor of more cost efficient ones like Digital (and I'm not saying you should), maybe you focus more on Trade Marketing or Price
