I am about half-way through my Neutrogena Internship down in LA. I still can't believe that it's gone by so fast; I'm trying to wrap my head around that I only have three more weeks of normalcy before moving back up to Berkeley to start my second year of business school. What I wouldn't give to start all over at Haas as a first year! I have been pleasantly surprised by LA - although, as I've learned, I'm technically not living in LA while in Santa Monica. Santa Monica has by far impressed me; I feel sort of like I'm in a beachier town of the Marina, with less pomp and circumstance.
I had a feeling that I would love working for Neutrogena, and Neutrogena as well has far surpassed my expectations in regards to the type of work, the products and the people. I definitely get excited to go to work in the morning! I'm working on the men's line as well as the regular hair line. Specifically with the men's line, I'm looking at the shave category and identify the strategy with the current men's shave products. A big step for a girl who hates to shave! (or at minimum am addicted to Intuition ...)
And then ... there's my obsession with product. I have managed to collect enough product through the company store as well as samples that we have. I have managed to load up a 2.5" x 2.5" shelf in our closet. Guess what everyone is getting for gifts!?!??!
I suppose that's it for now - I'll have more exciting news later!
