Some old fashioned packaging for some old fashioned pencil sharpeners. I’m always fascinated by different types of packaging, design, and how it has an affect on the consumer. I find myself purchasing products all the time, just for the packaging. Maybe I should thank my Auntie Linda for hooking me up with all those He-Man action figures when I was a little boy. I was always saving the packaging and drooling over the different toys advertised on the back. Skunkor was my favorite.
Wow– I’ve received hundreds of e-mails about The Johnny Cupcakes Suitcase Tour! Thank you everyone so much for the helping hand in letting me hang out + sling t-shirts out my suitcase at your business. In the next 7 days I should have everything all planned out. Most of the dates + locations are penciled in. The first stop will be in NYC on Friday, April 2nd at 8:00 pm. I’m very excited to travel around the U.S. + Canada for this. There’s still a bunch of locations that aren’t locked in yet. If you or a friend own a business and want to help out in curating this tour, you’ve only got a few days to e-mail Tour@JohnnyCupcakes.com
I must of made hundreds of prank phone calls with this crafty device when I was younger! I thought it was brilliant how Home Alone 2 specially created a product for their movie that was ready to hit shelves once the movie hit the big screen. It’s interesting how something so simple can provide great amounts of entertainment. Hopefully this commercial brings back some of your childhood memories!
Valentines Day special edition t-shirts should be in-stores + online this weekend. Our very own mascot, the Big Kid as cupid, as well as the Johnny Cupcakes x Looney Tunes Pepé Le Pew.
Starting this April, I will be driving my cupcake mobile around most of the USA and parts of Canada to literally sling t-shirts out of my suitcase + hang w/ you. There will be 6 suitcase exclusive t-shirts + a few other tour goodies. I’m bringing it back to my roots! I thought it would not only be a great way to have all-over-the-map personal meet ups with my customers, but also a nice way to pay homage to the humble beginnings of my brand (I started JC in 2001 by selling t-shirts out of the trunk of my car + crusty suitcase.)
Do you or your friend(s) have a business that would like to help out in hosting The Johnny Cupcakes Suitcase Tour? It would most likely be during the evening, with many amazing Johnny Cupcakes customers lining up to hang. If so, please send a very detailed e-mail, including photos and/or a website. Send to; Tour@JohnnyCupcakes.com
I can’t wait to meet all of you + thank you in person for supporting my brand! *note– the sample suitcase photo contains older shirts, not the upcoming tour ones.
By sipping hot water throughout the day you help cleanse the digestive tract and entire body of blockages + impurities. In Asia, almost everyone drinks hot water. I started doing it this past year, and I definitely feel a lot more healthier. Hot water drinking improves digestion and assimilation of food and helps prevent the body from becoming toxic and clogged. Hot water not only helps the digestive processes, but also is said to relieve heartburn, acute indigestion, vomiting, and cramps in the abdomen. Lastly, it’s a great aid in reducing coffee + food cravings between meals. I know a couple people who lost over 50 pounds by following only this single, crafty tip.
Most people can accomplish the hot water tuesday tip by getting a good thermos and having a cup sitting on a small cup-sized hot plate. You can pour your hot water in the cup, put it on the warmer and sip it throughout the day as you work.
The most purifying and cleansing water is water that has been boiled for about ten minutes. Boiling water for ten minutes reduces its heaviness (you will usually see a fine powder at the bottom of the pan that consists of precipitated materials from the water) and energizes the water. Drinking water from your hot water dispenser at work is better than not drinking any at all, but is not as effective as boiled water. Don’t want to drink plain hot water? Add lemon, mint, honey– or a tea bag.
I saw this simple neon sign somewhere online, and it made me smile. There needs to be more random, positive, public messages like this one. It’s interesting how one miniature phrase, piece of advice, or even a smile could alter a humans mood + thought process for the rest of their day and/or life. Withhold + pass along that PMA! Positive Mental Attitude. Click here to read up on the PMA movement! And like my friend Gordon Riker (R.I.P.) always said, Stay Positive.
