Gen Z's fall travel trend requires participants to conceptualize, style, and photograph their personal belongings at the TSA's airport security checkpoint before hopping on their flight. From outfits and accessories to aesthetically arranging her airport security bins, everything is conceptualized in advance. Not everyone can creatively thrive under airport security pressure, though. That meant purchasing a plastic security bin before travel to keep up with the trend. @mystackers What the Stackers marketing team’s airport security trays look like this Summer… whos tray is your vibe?

☆ Target workers fired over Stanley cups say the crackdown leaves some of the stores' Starbucks cafés understaffed

Read previewTarget's swift and severe crackdown on workers who bought one of the trendy Stanley x Starbucks cups last month could lead to another headache — keeping its Starbucks cafés staffed up. Of the 11 recently fired Target employees who have discussed their situations in detail with Business Insider, six worked in their stores' Starbucks cafés, which operate under a license agreement with the coffee company. STLs also told BI that stores are shuffling workers between stores, as they have in the past, to help with coverage. "You have so much paperwork, you have to do so much training, you have to do everything a normal Target Team Lead does, plus all your Starbucks stuff." Barista Jessie Gage told BI she and five coworkers were fired, cutting her store's Starbucks team by half.

I’m a big fan of Augustinus Bader’s The Light Cream and then Merit’s Great Skin Instant Glow Serum, which is very subtle. At the end of the day, I use a gel cleanser from Oskia called the Renaissance Cleansing Gel. I love using a muslin cloth for a deep cleanse. I’m a real bath girl, and there’s an Aesop Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser that I love; it has the best smell. When I was pregnant I discovered the brand Mutha, and I think their Body Butter and Body Oil are the best.

☆ Roblox is leaning into advertising and just made a big hire from Meta to get closer to marketers
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-02 | by ( Lara O'Reilly | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Roblox introduced Immersive Ads earlier this year with two initial formats. Image Ads are non-clickable static images that appear within a Roblox experience, while Portal Ads are images with a door that teleport users to other Roblox experiences and games. Roblox developers earn a portion of the revenue generated by Immersive Ads in the form of Robux, Roblox's in-game currency. Roblox has said it plans to open up the Immersive Ads self-service ad platform to more advertisers later this year. Alongside Immersive Ads, marketers can work with Roblox to create their own virtual experiences in the platform.

I grew up watching YouTube beauty gurus go on brand trips, and now it's my job to do the same thing. I started creating beauty content for the free makeup, but I found a full-time career instead. So far, I've been to Florida, Turks and Caicos, and more on brand trips with beauty companies. While most believe the whole point of brand trips is to produce content, some companies invite us on trips with no strings attached. In your daily life it's easy to pace yourself, but there's pressure to optimize your time on brand trips.

☆ Home flippers are having a tough time selling to regular people who need a mortgage, so they're offloading their properties to big investors instead

New data reveals that larger real estate businesses are buying flipped homes from smaller investors. This shift in the market has caused these smaller operators to place their faith elsewhere: In big institutional investors. "Flippers may opt to sell to institutional buyers in today's environment since they can usually close quickly and may not be as rate-sensitive," Thomas said. Exacerbating a housing shortage and high rentsAs institutional investors continue to swallow up homes, they are exacerbating housing shortages in the neighborhoods they occupy. "When a hedge fund comes in and buys up a bunch of single-family properties, those houses are gone," Doug Greene, owner of Philadelphia-based Signature Properties, told Bankrate in August.
