Chinese Student Finds Niche Market for Feminine Pads
by Nancy Z via “DramaFever“
A college student in China has found a niche market for feminine pads. It is a funny story, but we can also learn some business lessons from a budding young entrepreneur who identified a problem and found a solution.

All Chinese college students must endure a type of military boot camp training in their first year in college. It’s like a strenuous PE class where they go through lots of physical activities like trekking and jogging. An effect of such activities is what happens when you put young men’s feet and sweaty socks together. Yes, strong odor.
Lesson #1 – Be observant.
Enter Li Yuan, a third-year student at the Southwest University in Chongqing, China. He figured out that putting a feminine pad in a shoe can absorb moisture and prevent odor. Actually, he didn’t come up with the idea originally. He saw a few male students looking shy while standing near the feminine pads aisle at a supermarket. He was curious and learned from the manager that these students were buying the pads for use at the boot camp sessions.
Lesson 2 – Identify the problem.
The problem is actually two-fold as many new college students don’t even know that they’ll benefit from the feminine pads and that many male students would find it embarrassing to shop for the feminine pads out in the open.
Lesson 3 – Decide on a solution.
Li realized where there is a demand, he can provide the supply. He decided that he would become a personal shopper and sell the feminine pads directly to the students in the comfort and privacy of their dorms. . . . .

“7 Beauty Secrets To Steal From India, The Middle East, and Beyond”
24 Jul“7 Beauty Secrets To Steal From India, The Middle East, and Beyond”
by Byrdie via “Yahoo.com“
There’s something about learning beauty secrets from other cultures that makes our heartbeat quicken, which is why we’re sharing 7 beauty secrets to steal from the far East. We’ve already established that Asia is light years ahead of the U.S. when it comes to skincare technologies and innovations—but what about an area of the world where beauty secrets are passed down through generations, lovingly shared by mothers to their daughters? We’re talking about South Asian countries like India, Pakistan, and even areas of the Middle East. There, beauty rituals are more about understanding the importance of ancient, natural-based rituals that have withstood the test of time—because they work.
“Ever since I was very little, I remember my mother encouraging me to use natural things at home,” celeb makeup artist Kirin Bhatty says (she’s worked with everyone from Jessica Paré to Alessandra Ambrosio). “Of course, as a kid, all I wanted were the chemical-laden things my friends had—but now, as a makeup artist, everything has come full circle.” We asked asked if she could share these natural-minded beauty secrets, and lucky for us, she was happy to divulge.
Below are seven beauty secrets you should definitely steal…
#1: Rose water
“To this day, I always have rosewater in my [makeup] kit, as well as in my personal makeup bag,” Bhatty says. “I use it on [my clients’] skin by spraying it from a spray bottle, as well as on myself, as a toner, applied with a cotton ball at home.” She swears by its refreshing, softening, brightening, and toning effects. “Also, it smells amazing,” she raves. “It was something that the princesses and queens used way, way back.” She says there’s no need for fancy formulas—a simple, inexpensive bottle from any market will do the trick. Another tip? She says to keep it in your fridge, to heighten the soothing effect. . . . .

Okay, I get that this is darling and fun and fan’s would love it. But as a lawyer I gotta ask, is there anything there that lets people unfamiliar with the show know that this is fake? It even has a fake phone message . . . how many people are going to call seeking real help and not realize they dialed a fake law office until it is too late? Surely there are disclaimers, I just didn’t see them in the article (Or the billboard)

FB Adverts
15 JulFacebook has decided to advertise EBAY products to me on the side ~ probably because I’ve been out there so much. Unfortunately, they keep advertising MY products, the one’s I’m selling. AD Fail, FB, AD Fail.
