Olivia Brand Senior Project

Wednesday, May 16 Internship time: 7 hours Final product time: 2 hours Blog time: 30 mins TOTAL: 9.5 hours Today for work I spent the whole time finishing up the big project of finding 50 YouTubers in a specific range for Paradox to reach out to. That took me a really long time. I did my IG stuff that I am supposed to do every day and I also edited some of the pictures I took on my photo shoot. After work, I worked on the book I am making for my final product - which is going to be worked on mainly tomorrow.

Tuesday, May 15 Internship time: 9 hours Blog time: 30 mins TOTAL: 9.5 hours Today's blog is going to be a bit shorter just because I am working on a fewer amount of projects for a longer period of time. I'm going to say what I did in bullet point form today. Morning: Photoshoot - shelfie style in multiple bathrooms to caption the Paradox oil in a skincare lineup IG post After lunch: Pinterest (create new board), and Instagram for Paradox (daily duty) Later afternoon: Begin creating a list of 50 skincare/beauty YouTubers in the range from 5k-500k subs to send our product to for review.  I finished the day by spending my own time researching new recipes to add to my 'beauty on a budjet' book! 

Monday, May 14 Internship hours: 8 Research time: 2.5 hours Blog time: 30 mins TOTAL: 11 hours Elise is in LA until Wednesday this week so she gave me many projects to either start or continue working on while she's gone, due Thursday for my last day of work. Today I spent a couple of hours working on the Pinterest like I usually do, and that was fun because I got to create new boards - Pinterest has become an addiction of mine (haha). I continued with using the app Planoly and added some captions to pictures that we are going to post in the future. Then, Elise taught me another way how to build relationships on social media, and that's by finding Instagrams of brands that are similar to our and see who comments on those other brand's pictures...I then go to their pages and comment on and like their photos to build relationships with them. Today I spent time on "the ouai" IG page to do this. I ended my day by working on the Paradox IG and spent time connect...

Friday, May 11 Internship time: 5.5 hours Blog time: 30 mins TOTAL: 6 hours Well, today I was scheduled to begin work at 12, but I have been sitting here for 30 minutes waiting for Elise to come and she has not responded to my text so I'm wondering if she forgot? Right now while I'm waiting I'm doing the usual: working on the Paradox Instagram and Pinterest, as well as working on projects on spreadsheets that I have been doing throughout my internship. Today I was scheduled to do a "shelfie photo shoot", and those are super fun because I get to be creative and take tons of pictures and art direct - so I really hope she shows up because I want to be able to have the opportunity. I also packed a shoebox full of beauty products and props I can use for the photo shoot. I was scheduled to work five and a half hours today so regardless I will work on stuff for Paradox if she comes in or not so I can get my hours, but, I will update you on Monday to let you kno...

Thursday, May 10 Internship time: 5.5 hours Blog time: 30 mins TOTAL: 6 hours Today I worked on creating a job post for a Photography and Creative Content Intern through AngelList which was cool because I got to learn about how to create a job post and learn about the requirements. I also began building a list of small-medium size companies that do influencer gifting on behalf of brands - that was cool because I had never heard of those brands and the companies that do this specific thing so it was interesting to learn about personally. I also worked on an Instagram Planoly for "maskhabit" (Instagram that is about to be launched created by Paradox) which was super fun and my kinda thing. After that, I made tweaks to the Paradox Shopify that I made a couple of days ago. Good day, it felt short!

Wednesday, May 9 Internship time: 7.5 hours Blog time: 30 mins TOTAL: 8 hours Firstly, today I found contact information for beauty influencers which was fairly time-consuming. Next, I spent some time working on the Paradox Instagram which is something I am used to doing every day, but, today I also had conversations and fostered relationships with the gurus that I usually leave just emojis for on their pictures. It's nice being able to have conversations with the people you usually only see on social media. I spent a couple of hours adding to my Pinterest boards, especially focusing on the "Glow Girl Glow" section (that was fun). I then researched more on how to grow a Pinterest account so we can get our followers watching what we're doing. Lastly, I spent a few hours editing the hundreds of pictures that I took yesterday from our photo shoot. That was tedious and took a while but it was super fun and they are going to go on Instagram so I felt like I was doing...
