Writing for SuperMoves--Physical Education Curriculum for Preschool Children

I had such a great experience writing for the new Play With A Purpose SuperMoves website and curriculum.

There is so much this curriculum offers childcare centers. The activities are fun, bright, meaningful and most importantly: get children moving so physical activity becomes a normal part of their lives--not just a one-time event.

I wish you could see the adorable activity card box the educators get. I wrote the copy for that, too, which was both challenging and fun.

Maybe you know a childcare or daycare center that could use a smart new physical education program. If you do...send them over to SuperMoves!

Writing for GENT: the Barbershop Come Men's Salon

I had a blast writing all the copy for this website. The client wanted to get across that men are overlooked in the world of salons. He fused the old, English-style barbering with the swank, hip desires of the urban male to create GENT.

The cuts at GENT are never inflated like they are at some top salons for women. And that's the point: GENT isn't targeting women (though they're welcome!) but instead GENT provides an atmosphere directed at the creature comforts of a savvy gentlemen. There are iPads in place of ratty, wilted issues of Elle and Cosmopolitan. There's a fridge loaded with soda instead of Dixie cups of water and the leather chairs...fuhgettaboudit! Amazing.

I got a great tour of the new space with the owner and designer and even relaxed with an iPad whilst chilling in an overstuffed leather waiting chair. GENT is nestled in Victoria Crossing in St. Paul. It is the perfect place for men to get a little sophisticated pampering without getting blasted with overpriced fees (and without having to pass the nail polish carts).

Pop over to the store for their Grand Opening event on Saturday, August 6. Get those details and other nitty gritties (including copy from yours truly) on the GENT website.
