About FtLoS

Hello there!

My best friend, Michela (left) and I in December, 2013

My name is Rachel, and I am a graduate-to-be with a degree in Public Relations. I have had quite a few internships so far in my industry, and one of my favorite duties of PR work is sending out samples to press, bloggers, and reviewers. Packing up samples to mail out is like wrapping presents for special folks all across the country! I think that word of mouth marketing is one of the most influential forces for consumer products.

Considering I will soon be a PR professional, I won't be reaching out to agencies or consumer product companies asking for samples to write about on this blog. This is an entirely personal endeavor - I want to practice writing, maintain a blog, and share the products that come across my lap with an interested audience.


So how do I get my samples? 

• I follow a lot of brands on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
• I am a BzzAgent.
• I am subscribed to Birchbox and Jewelmint.
• I work part time as a receptionist at a local high-end hair salon, and we get a lot of product samples to try out and make more informed recommendations for clients.

I won't be writing about products that don't interest me or apply to my life. For example, I own have a cat for a soulmate, so you won't see any dog toy reviews.

This is Jas. He's as honest a reviewer as I am when it comes to catnip, promise!

When I'm not hustling from part-time job to class to internship to my clients, I enjoy rock climbing and yoga. I appreciate a cold craft beer, well-done liquid eyeliner, and not having to get out of bed before 10am.
