On this special day, we want to take a moment to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. We are forever grateful and will remember what you did to keep us safe.

Here are a few ways we can recognize Memorial Day:

• Moment of Silence: On Memorial Day, our Veteran’s Employee Resource Group asks you to consider pausing and observing a moment of silence and reflection.

• Share Stories: Memorial Day offers an opportunity to learn about the courageous individuals who fought for our country.

• Support Charitable Organizations: Consider organizing a charitable initiative to support veterans or military families in need. Whether it's fundraising, volunteering, or donating, we can make a positive impact and show our support for those affected by the loss of loved ones.

By acknowledging Memorial Day, we demonstrate our commitment to our values as a company and show our support for the military community.

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms who inspire us daily with their strength and love. From all of us at Luxury Method, we wish you a day filled with joy and the warmth of family!

Happy Mexican Mother’s Day!

Did you know, Mexican Mother's Day, known as El Día de la Madre or El Día de las Madres, is a vibrant tribute to mothers throughout Mexico, observed annually on May 10th? This date remains constant each year. The celebration is also embraced in El Salvador and Guatemala, as the tradition of honoring mothers on this specific day has spread throughout Latin America. In contrast, the United States celebrates Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May, resulting in a variable annual date. Sometimes, both countries observe Mother’s Day on the same date, May 10th.

¡Feliz Día de la Madre Mexicana!

¿Sabías que el Día de la Madre Mexicano, conocido como El Día de la Madre o El Día de las Madres, es un tributo vibrante a las madres en todo México y se celebra anualmente el 10 de mayo? Esta fecha permanece constante cada año. La celebración también es aceptada en El Salvador y Guatemala, ya que la tradición de honrar a las madres en este día específico se ha extendido por toda América Latina. Por el contrario, Estados Unidos celebra el Día de la Madre el segundo domingo de mayo, lo que resulta en una fecha anual variable. A veces, ambos países celebran el Día de la Madre en la misma fecha, el 10 de mayo.

May is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month – a celebration of Asians, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. At Luxury Method, we’re proud to celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of the Asian-Pacific American community. We stand committed to fostering an inclusive workplace that recognizes and respects the diverse backgrounds and experiences of all our employees.

To continue our celebration of Women’s History Month, let’s talk about the positive effects of female leadership— according to decades of psychological research! Here are some of the many contributions that women leaders bring to the workplace:

1. Female leaders are likely to demonstrate transformational leadership styles, an inspirational approach that results in better performance of team members.
2. Collaboration among teams has been found to improve when women are present.
3. Harmful language about women in the workplace is reduced when women hold senior positions.

Let's continue to celebrate women's contributions to the workplace, fostering environments where their leadership is not just recognized, but also actively sought after, driving positive change for generations to come.

Happy National Fragrance Day! Let's take a moment to appreciate the wonderful scents that add joy and beauty to our lives. 🌸✨

In honor of Women’s History Month, let’s talk progress for women in business.

Over the past decade, reports have consistently highlighted a striking trend: at S&P 500 companies, you could find more CEOs named John or Jon than total females in the same position. In 2023, this trend was reversed! Finally, female CEOs outnumber men named John or Jon in the chief executive position in top publicly traded companies.

This shift marks a significant advancement in workplace diversity and inclusion among leaders. But while this progress is fantastic to see, its recency underscores the ongoing need to empower women across all industries. Here’s to our continued commitment to fostering environments of true inclusivity for women leaders.

As our Vice President, Nancy Fresnics, explains: "We came up with the idea because supporting the RSSs is in our DNA, and we live and breathe Fragrance and Beauty. Why not dress up like the employees we support and have fun with it… blotter cards and fragrances on behalf of our customers!"

Happy National Lipstick Day!

Disability Pride Month commemorates the history, achievements, experiences, and struggles of the disability community. This month holds significance as it marks the Americans with Disabilities Act's anniversary, a crucial legislation that dismantled societal barriers. There are still obstacles that make it necessary to acknowledge and support every disability type and individuals who identify with them.
Throughout July, we will be sharing valuable information about Disability Pride Month and other disability-related topics. Let's make Disability Pride Month a time of celebration and learning!

Happy 4th of July!

1. Educate yourself and encourage others to do the same

National organizations like the Human Rights Campaign offer excellent resources for individuals and workplaces. Learn about the historical, cultural, and political significance of Pride Month.

2. Be a part of building a supportive culture

Be affirming, respectful, and practice active listening. By just listening and being supportive, you show you care.

3. Be an active LGBTQIA+ ally

If you want to support the well-being of your LGBTQIA+ team members, it’s important to be an active ally. Pay attention to the language you and others use on a daily basis. Using more inclusive and respectful language is an easy way to actively support a healthier, more inclusive work environment.
It’s equally important to recognize and address potentially offensive language from others. It’s common for derogatory comments to be passed off as a joke in casual conversation. Should this occur, make it clear this type of language can be hurtful and is not welcome in the future. While these can be more difficult conversations, they are essential to building a culture of mutual respect.

Introducing Tia Terrell! She's one of our talented Customer Engagement Representatives at Luxury Method.

One month after the 1969 Stonewall riots that marked a turning point in the gay rights movement, Howard participated in a march commemorating the event. A year later, she organized the first Christopher Street Liberation Day March to mark the Stonewall Riot anniversary. The march was the first Pride parade in the world. Her efforts encouraged other cities and countries to hold similar events, laying the groundwork for Pride parades internationally.

She was actively involved in the Coalition for Le***an and Gay Rights, successfully lobbying for LGBT rights laws in New York City.

In 1987, Howard cofounded the New York Area Bisexual Network. She also founded the first chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous, specifically for bisexual people. She successfully lobbied for the inclusion of bisexuality in the 1993 March on Washington at a time when the movement was focused on gay men and le****ns. Howard passed away from colon cancer in 2005.

The Brenda Howard Award is presented annually to a group or individual advocating on behalf of the bisexual community.

In June 2020, the United States Supreme Court affirmed that LGBTQ+ workers are protected from discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
This landmark decision was a major step towards equality and inclusivity!
While we celebrate this important victory, we must also acknowledge that the work is far from over. Discrimination and prejudice still persist, and we must continue to strive for a world where everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, is treated with dignity and respect. Let us remember that true progress requires ongoing effort. We must challenge harmful stereotypes, advocate for comprehensive LGBTQIA+ rights, and promote acceptance in all aspects of society. Together, we can create a future where everyone feels safe, valued, and celebrated for who they are. Together, we can create lasting change and build a society that embraces and celebrates the rich diversity of our LGBTQIA+ community.

We were honored to host Troi Grimes, a U.S. Army Veteran, renowned author, and unstoppable advocate, as he spearheaded a thoughtful dialogue on "The Value in Visibility." Troi shared his compelling personal journey of navigating life, the military, and his career as a transgender person.

He emphasized the importance of Pride, not just as a celebration, but also as a testament of resilience, strength, and acceptance. He opened up about the complexities of acronyms and pronouns, reminding us that understanding and respect are essential to fostering inclusivity.

Troi further emphasized how organizations can and should foster a culture of acceptance. He reminded us that everyone deserves space for growth, evolution, and expression of their true selves. His insights provided us with a valuable perspective, encouraging us to be allies and advocates ourselves. His courage and determination left us inspired and motivated to make a difference.

Thank you, Troi, for sharing your story, educating us, and enlightening us on the value of visibility.

Did you know?

Most Pride parades take place every June to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City, a pivotal moment in modern LGBTQ social movements. The parades seek to create community and honor the history of the movement. In 1970, pride and protest marches were held in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and San Francisco around the first anniversary of Stonewall. While June is traditionally the month Pride is celebrated, many Southern parades occur in the autumn, presumably to take advantage of cooler temperatures. Atlanta Pride, Orlando Pride, and Kentuckiana Pride in Louisville all occur closer to National Coming Out Day (October 11) than they do the anniversary of Stonewall. Other events, such as Atlanta Black Pride (which is held during Labor Day weekend), occur throughout the year, meaning you can celebrate LGBTQ Pride almost any time.
