JAK, The Fragrance
Oh my gosh, I am SO kidding. Yet, I wonder, why not!? I haven't looked into the truth about this, yet besides Madonna, I've heard that the Pope is also coming out with a new signature fragrance*. Please understand I have nothing against the Pope, but oh puleez! Read More...
In a previous life, I worked in the cosmetic/fragrance industry. The companies would have these fabulous launch events when new fragrances were introduced. They were special, there were maybe one to two major introductions per season. These days, in my opinion, new fragrances are a dime a dozen. I am so not impressed, especially when celebrities come out with a fragrance line. I take exception with Elizabeth Taylor, who introduced the classic White Diamonds that has remained one of the top 10 best selling fragrances for more than a decade. Most others I see are cashing in on their short-lived fame...it's their right. So yeah, maybe...JAK The Fragrance!
Now that I've (hopefully) got your attention, I want to switch gears and take a moment educate you on Just Add Kids. JAK U, if you will. With rapid growth here in terms of numbers of new subscribers, visitors to the website, friends and followers on our social networking sites and VERY exciting month ahead, class is now in session:
First of all, Just Add Kids is many times referred to as it’s acronym JAK (I'm sure you got that by now). The Just Add Kids business provides resources that are quickly and easily accessible for families looking primarily for kid-oriented, family-friendly activities and events. JAK currently focuses on serving those in Racine, Kenosha and the surrounding communities with children ages pre-born through 18.
At this time, JAK’s product offerings consist of:

*Let's get back to the Pope... the story is that Pope Benedict XVI's eau de cologne will not be gracing shelves, as it is just for him. Now that, I can buy in to!
