Recently we have lost a close friend and dear family member. Daisy left us with much love, friendship, and memories. We could always count on her to listen closely to our stories or even hardships; leaving you with nothing less than a smile and laughter. I can remember bringing Daisy home for the first time as she rested in my hands with her long ears flopping over the side. Cuteness can’t describe Daisy’s first steps while tripping over her ears; this was absolutely adorable.

From playing catch with my brother in the backyard to cozying up near the fire; Daisy had lived her life closely to our side and undoubtedly within our hearts.

We will miss you girl. Forever Love . . .

Recently Starbucks teamed up with iTunes bringing a free music promotion to their customers. For the past 37 days, Starbucks handed out free downloads with any purchase. The downloads were single tracks ranging from a vast genre of artists and were handed out daily to customers. This promotion led to many angles of opportunity. For Starbucks, customers were lured in to collect all the downloadable music while attracting them to the in-store “music atmosphere.” For iTunes, new and existing customers were led to iTunes Online Store to redeem the music and build awareness of other music available online. For the artists, what better way to promote your new album? And for the customers, the benefit of enjoying free music while sipping on your grande caramel macchiato (non-fat of course); a perfect example of efficeint promotional collaborations.

The “Song of the Day” pictured above is “Country Girl by Rissi Palmer. Simply click on the image and it will direct you to her personal site where you can easily listen to the track while browsing.

Also feel free to check periodically with Starbucks Entertainment, to see if they will release the tracks you missed out on.
