I just got back from a staycation at the Royal Palms resort in Scottsdale, Arizona and it was pure magic. Lately, I’ve craved homey-cozy aesthetics in the hotels I stay at, and this old school glamour definitely fit the bill.
The staycation was with Cetaphil, where I joined a handful of other writers and a gaggle of content influencers, and we even got to enjoy a Lizzo concert. I don’t know about you, but I still remember the first time I heard “Truth Hurts” and I had to replay it over and over again. She also did a tribute to Tina Turner — chills.
Anyway, I’m back home about to dive into the long weekend, and I could use your help with some things I’m working on in early June. (JUNE?!?)
(Also did anyone else binge the entire season of Selling Sunset in like 48 hours?)
Here’s what I’m working on right now. Please do not respond to this email, but instead email me at wendyrosegould@gmail.com with any solid fits. Also, please send an individual email for each pitch.
Expert Needs
Send the name of your expert and why they’re a fit for the topic. Please do not send commentary yet.
Reader’s Digest: I’m seeking a pet nutrition expert to share some of their favorite specific products for dogs (food, treats, supplements) that can help promote the best health.
Real Simple: Seeking derms and aestheticians to weigh in on how dry skin can exacerbate/cause facial wrinkles.
Real Simple: Also need aestheticians and dermatologists to share some sneaky causes of premature aging
Best Life /Travelicious: Putting together a roundup of affordable beach towns. These can be riverside, lakeside, oceanside, etc. If you rep a location send me the details, and I’d also love to talk to one or two travel experts who’d love to wax poetic about some of their fave spots!
Verywell Mind: Would love to connect with a credential relationship expert (LCSW, LMFT, PsyD, PhD) to share some effective couple’s therapy exercises people can start using today.
Chewy: My *FIRST* holiday article has arrived! Are you ready?! I’m seeking cat experts and behaviorists to share how to cat-proof your Christmas tree, a topic near and dear to my heart.
Best Life/Travelicious: OK, I’m seeking both TSA agents and everyday people to share some of the wildest things they’ve either confiscated themselves as an agent, or have had confiscated as a passenger. If you know someone or have a story, contact me! The craziest thing I’ve seen is someone had their breast milk taken away, and another person I know had their precious peanut butter taken away but they wanted it so badly they went back and checked it separately LMAO
Real Simple: Need derms and aestheticians to dish on some of their juiciest anti-aging secrets. We’ll obviously cover some of the basics, like wearing SPF and using retinol, but I’d love to go one step further here. Like what are you personally doing to keep yourself looking youthful? This is more lifestyle/treatment/tip based.
Real Simple: Also seeking dermatologists and aestheticians to share some of the non-negotiable types of products in an anti-aging routine. This is different from the previous story and will focus mostly only product types.
Verywell Mind: Seeking mental health experts to share some insights on how to get over a crush. Why do we feel so strongly about someone we don’t know that well? What are some ways we can move through those feelings?
Chewy: Seeking a veterinarian to share their best advice on how to get dogs to drink water.
