HelloZ

How has everyone’s start to the year been? Lots of people said they felt as though yesterday (Monday) was the real first day of 2025, but I’ve been grinding since the holidays because who really has time for time off?

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen (or maybe not because algorithm) I started a little chat called RecipleaZe for all-things cooking, recipe sharing and recommendations. Come join the fun!

Let’s Shine Bright

With the start of the new year, I sincerely wish everyone a great deal of prosperity, success, career growth and above all - health! Needless to say, I’d love to work together this year, so here’s a little recap of how we can do that:

Affiliate marketing setup and/or management of your current clients/brand. ZlataPR can be your agency’s 'partner’ (white label me), or if you recommend me directly, I’ll pay you a monthly referral fee.
Public Relations & Media Relations support for agencies or brands. I do get a lot of referrals for affiliate work from PR agencies, so I never step on toes. BUT, if an agency needs help with pitching or if a brand has no PR representation, I can help!
Content writing. Anything. All the things. Give me assignments, I’ll give you words.
As noted last week, I’m officially opening up my Affiliate A to Z Course by way of 1:1 consulting so as to present the most value to you. We’ll discuss what you’re looking to learn and accomplish, and I’ll present the course in a way that’s curated to achieve your goals.

Is there anything we’re not paying for anymore when it comes to the big screen? NBCUniversal is charging $14.99/month, or $99 annually, for CNBC+. The new streaming service, offering access to episodes of CNBC business day shows, aims to attract business-oriented viewers for longer periods of time, and a global feed will enable them to follow programming from Asia and Europe. In addition, an all-inclusive, $599.99/year tier will bundle CNBC+ with an online investment club headed by market analyst Jim Cramer. The move comes as CNBC is set to be spun off from NBCU, along other cable networks, later this year.
Netflix dropped a trailer for “With Love, Meghan,” a lifestyle series starring the Duchess of Sussex that premieres Wednesday, January 15. “I’ve always loved taking something pretty ordinary, and elevating it,” says Markle in the promo.

It may be a little silly to recommend something like greens, but Little Leaf Lettuce is quite frankly the BEST lettuce on the supermarket shelves. What’s more, is that Trader Joe’s carries the brand now as well! If I’m going to be known for influencing any purchase, I’m hoping it’s Little Leaf Lettuce since I’ve been singing their praise for years now. LMK what you think!
Normally I’d think something like Neuro Mints Calm & Clarity is a bit gimmicky, but after thoroughly enjoying my experience, I’m sharing! These mints combine L-theanine, Vitamin D3, and GABA to promote calm, focus, and stress relief. L-theanine encourages alpha brain waves for relaxation and reduces stress. Vitamin D3 supports serotonin production for mood regulation and boosts immunity. GABA calms the nervous system to help you feel composed. If you try them, let me know what you think!
I wore these Shapermint Essentials Tear-proof Shaping Tights for a few holiday parties and they really are great! I love the sheer look and the confidence in knowing they won’t rip. Highly recco! I’ve also tried Sheertex, and these were for sure better.
