Now That's Stylish! - Huggies

So I had previously heard that Huggies was starting to make "Jeans" diapers.  I thought it was a joke initially, but I recently caught the new commercial for the diaper.

Fantastic right?  This just cracks me up!  These diapers run $19.99 for a pack of between 52-72 (depending on size) which when looking at my very limited research seems very comparable to other Huggies diaper prices. 

Personally, I think these diapers will do well.  With a lot of mom's looking to stay fashionable and wanting the best for their child, these diapers seem like a fun way to set their child apart.  Give them a little extra confidence on the playground.  Also, it seems most other disposable diapers are rather plain in comparison.  One thing that may hurt this denim diaper is that with the recession still hanging around, parents are looking for the cheapest diapers, etc. for their children in order to save some money.

Pioneering Beering

In the 1980's Chuck Hahn founded an Australian beer company, Hahn Beer, with an experimental and innovative style.  Although the brand is now owned by Lion Nathan it has decided to return to its roots and has since created the tagline "Pioneering Beering".  In their latest ad the new Hahn beer is brewed in a very futuristic yet retro brewery where "'super-ness' is brewed into the beer by glam bodybuilders, a heavy-metal drummer, a playboy with a beer-filled plastic tiger, and a bottle-capping ferret, among other characters".

Been gone too long!

This past month of my life has been crazy - and unfortunately without blog posts!  I have in the past few weeks graduated from college, moved back home with the parents, gotten into summer school for advertising, had an interview and got a job with a company that works with entrepreneurs to create business plans/websites/logos, dropped said summer school classes, moved onto my sisters couch in downtown Portland, found an apartment to move into with my sister and her boyfriend come August, and finally I just got back from a long weekend of hiking and camping at Silver Falls!

If you have never been to Silver Falls it is a really cool area.  We did a hike that was 8.7 miles and walked past/under 10 different waterfalls.  The campground was also really nice (best camping showers I have ever seen).   Also, highlight of the hike, I found a four leaf clover!  I have never even seen a four leaf clover before.

Also, we stopped at the local Silverton brewery and I think I found my new favorite beer.  It is called Emily's Ember by Seven Brides Brewing! And on their website they have a list of where you can find there beer - and there are a few places in Portland!

Anyways... Now that my life is starting to get semi-figured out I will be able to get back to my posts :)
