Okay pics of my miniverse stuff!
Left to right, top row: unicorn popcorn, berry refresher (remixed), mint chip shake, blueberry cheesecake (remixed).
Bottom row: avocado toast, pink donuts, rainbow rings cereal
Berry refresher: I put some of the donut glaze in the bottom and a little on top. I like to think it's coconut milk or strawberry milk splashed in. I should have put some of the blueberries in there, that would've been cute
Blueberry cheesecake: I put some of the leftover raspberries from the refresher on, added the rest of the blueberries, and put a dollop of garlic, I mean whipped cream
Gurgles the fish, the resin is bubbly bc I didnt cure in layers bc I'm stubborn and thought I knew better shdhdhhd I most certainly did not.
Cactus.
The cake/dessert bowl: I used the bowl the fish came in bc I didn't want to waste more plastic and throw it away. Used the rest of the donut resin and the drink resin, the white gravel from the cactus, the donut sprinkles, the fish bowl resin on top
In the cheesecake container I put the rest of the gravel, sprinkles from the unicorn popcorn, and the milk resin from the cereal ... idk what it is but I didn't want to waste the milk resin and I wasnt gonna use the gravel so 🤷♀️
All in all that was a fun 2 hours. I really love the packaging and details like omg they're too cute. The sprinkles jars and how the top is only half open to control the sprinkles better 😭, the tiny chocolate chips, the cereal box
I tried so hard to open the milk resin by twisting the cap whehdhdhhfhf the teeny tiny bread tabs killed me 😭 so tiny and the ice cubes!! Those were my fav and I saved some shdhddh

CULTURE HAUSE: GRAMMY 2024 RECAP
The 66th Annual Grammy Awards may have been one of the best overall ceremonies in recent years give or take a few things.
JAY Z took the stage to receive the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award and when he did he candidly spoke out against the very institution that has nominated him 88 times and awarded him 26 times.
The key takeaway highlight the 1989 Boycott by Will Smith and 1998 Boycott by himself for DMX not being nominated despite Jay Z winning for Hard Knock Life Vol. 2. But essentially calling out the academy for NOT getting it right and his wife Beyoncé never winning Album of The Year despite having the most Grammys.
Marketing Moment: Jay Z as always was sitting at his table where he was served Armand De Brignac and Dussé (both which he owns) as well as Tidal being integrated with the live show appearing on the LED screens on the stage of Crypto Arena.
Find full speech below.
Victoria Monét took home Best New Artist, Best R&B Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. She spoke proudly thanking her manager Rachelle Louis for quitting her job and taking a chance on her. A decision that paid off greatly for them both.
SZA took home 3 trophies for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best R&B Song and Best Urban Contemporary Album.
Marketing Moment: A key highlight was SZA's second performance which was a strategic partnership with Mastercard where she debuted a new song 'Saturn', aside from the rare second solo performance, the partnership also integrated with Lyft where if customers use their U.S. World or World Elite Mastercard for a Lyft ride, a tree will be planted up to 500,000 trees.
Taylor Swift who has been the top of all entertainment and sports media outlets for the past year took home 2 awards with the main one being the coveted Album of The Year for her 'Midnights' album. Taylor announced a new album during her AOTY acceptance speech and will be the ongoing topic of the week leading up to Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas where her boyfriend Travis Kielce will be competing for his 3rd title.
MARKETING MOMENT: Travis Scott performed during the ceremony but the highlight was his brand Cactus Jack x Jumpman debuting a commercial immediately following promoting his new sneaker which was aired to 16.9 million U.S. households and not including the rest of the world. Travis also quickly uploaded the commercial on his instagram page which has more than 54 million followers.
Killer Mike took all 3 hip-hop trophies for his album 'Michael' including Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance. The Atlanta native amazing night was overshadowed by him being temporarily arrested backstage for alledgely bumping into a police officer.
Last but certainly not least Lil Durk took home Best Melodic Rap Performance for his hit radio friendly single "All My Life" ft. J. Cole. A well deserved win and shows how continuous artist development, hardworking and collaboration can be rewarding. Ever since Lil Durk appeared on Drake's "Laugh Now, Cry Later" he has been on an upward swing in his career with so much more room for growth. Walking the Grammy red carpet in custom Louis Vuitton designed by Pharrell Williams.
The Dean's Notes: Holidays and global cultural moments like Grammy's, Super Bowl, Christmas, etc. are the best times to make announcements and launch products. Artist and brands are doubling and tripling down on Grammy advertising, Super Bowl advertising including Social Media, TV and the all new MSG Sphere where ad spots are costing $2million for 90 seconds of space.
In 2024 how will brands, celebrities and influencers take advantage of shifting their budgets from micro-spends for big moment opportunities? They are all fighting for as many eyeballs at once and trying to build unique messaging that could possible appeal to as many costumers as possible.
Influencer marketing has been aligned with activations during these key tentpole moments where brands can utilize the "organic" reach of social influencers by inviting them to these events knowing they will deliver great content recaps on their personal channels without being paid an influencer fee. Giving the brand increased earned media reach.
Please subscribe to Culture Hause blog and be on the look out for our Super Bowl recap which will including the best of social media moments, commercials, halftime show and of course the big game.

The Annual T-Bowl
On a routine test flight of a commercial ship many years ago, a rupture in the hull caused an unexpected explosion. No one on board was injured, but some of the debris from flight A2701 are still caught in Arcus's atmosphere to this day.
One of these objects is a (beautiful) near-perfectly preserved 21st century toilet, caught in eternal orbit around our moon. A beacon for racers everywhere.
Tonight, daring pilots compete in the most dangerous race known to Arcus--the "T-Bowl." After the sun sets, when reflections from Arcus's atmosphere are weakest, competitors, including myself, will race out into space, around the toilet, and back to the ground.
Few can complete the challenge, but those who do...become legends.
-Orin, Night of the T-Bowl 2399
