Hello everyone, my name is Paola! I am a 17-year-old freshman here at LBCC majoring in Business. Outside of school, I work at Target as a Style Consultant. I lack interests I can call passions, but I have a few hobbies. I played tenor saxophone for 6 years and although I don't play anymore, I listen to music whenever I can! I also love building Legos and puzzles aside from watching TV. Although I don't get to do it often, I love being outside and doing activities such as hiking, camping, and just overall sightseeing. Finally, thrifting is something I have been doing for a few years now and enjoy just as much today. I love that every day is something new and if you know where to look, you can find some real treasures! 

The main reason I am enrolled in this course is because it is a requirement for my major, but either way, marketing is a big part of the business world. Various aspects of business depend on marketing and I hope this class will provide a deeper understanding of it and will aid me in the future. One thing I look forward to learning through this class is how to better sell myself as someone who can be of great importance. Additionally,  I find it fascinating to learn about how companies use marketing and how it affects consumers.

Should We Gush for the UNbrush?

                                                                        The UNbrush caught my eye earlier today thanks to a push notification from Target claiming everyone is buying this brush. So what is all the rage about? The truth is, the votes are evenly split. Many of the people reviewing the product claimed it was no better than your average brush, while others saw what the hype was about! I saw countless videos of the brush being tested on all kinds of hair including curly, wet, and even matted. And every single time it accomplished what it was supposed to, it brushed right through the hair.  The UNbrush's value proposition is to "meet the needs of fragile hair". Its anti-static bristles are designed to reduce breakage by gently detangling hair.  It also claims to work just as well on both dry and wet hair. This is a big claim because it is known to be more difficult to brush through dry, tangled hair.  This first image shows a father and daughter trying the brush

Marketing in the News: Musk is Falling

 My interest in this article was sparked by the constant enjoyment I get from seeing what Elon Musk comes up with next. His spontaneity makes for some great news feed and entertainment, it's never a dull day with him! Ultimately, I chose this article because I enjoy staying in the know of what is going on with Elon Musk.                                           https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-turning-x-back-into-twitter-2024-4 "Tesla's reign as EV king is fizzling, so Elon Musk has his sights set on a new goal - turning X back into Twitter" by Katherine Tangalakis-Lippert, was just released 6 days ago and covers some of the most relevant updates on Elon Musk's activity. The article analyzes three main points in her article, the first discussing Tesla's stock fall. Over this past year, Tesla's stock has fallen by over 10% and Elon Musk's net worth is going down with it. He went from being the richest man in the world, with a net worth estimat
