6/16: Happy Monday!
Summer is coming! 💛 🌼
Hi, everyone!
I hope you all had wonderful weekends! With summer just around the corner, I’m so excited for what’s to come. While things usually quiet down a bit this time of year as more people head out on vacation, I’m not expecting too much of a slowdown on my end.
Here’s what’s going on:
Media Opps
I’m working on a travel piece about Water Safaris being the New Trend. Feel free to send experts my way for commentary.
I’m working on a beauty article about Summer Hair Trends. Feel free to send experts my way for commentary.
I’m creating a travel guide to St Barth. I know the island like the back of my hand, but I always like to be kept in the loop with any happenings. Know of any?
I’m working on a restaurant guide to Bar Harbor. Send over your best recs!
As always, I’m pitching to Resy and would love to learn more about new, cool restaurants in New York City.
I’m spotlighting restaurants that have opened in the past three months or will open in the next three—ping me with relevant clients!
I’m also covering luxury hotels that have opened in the past three months or will open in the next three. If you have any fitting clients, let me know.
Press trips & media visits: I’m actively writing luxury travel stories and creating social content for a slew of travel publications, which means I’m open to press trips and/or media stays at luxury hotels.
LAST CALL: I’m working with a PR agency for an upcoming activation with Paramount for Clueless and Fitted (the digital closet), happening July 24 at LuisaViaRoma in SoHo. We’re looking for beauty brands interested in being highlighted at the event through free product placement. Let me know if you’re interested or would like more details!

A few things to note:
When reaching out about a pitch in this newsletter, please do not reply directly to this email—there’s a good chance it’ll get lost in my inbox. Instead, please send a separate email.
When pitching hotels, please make sure to always include a link to the hotel’s press images. This greatly helps if I’m able to write about the property.
Also, a quick heads-up: I’ll be moving this newsletter to paid subscribers in the next few weeks. On the paid side, I’ll be sharing more behind-the-scenes updates—like who I’m writing for, what I’m reviewing, and what’s coming up. Stay tuned for more details soon!
In the Loop
I’m off to Montana this week for a family reunion! I’ll still be working remotely but won’t be back in New York until the end of the month. If you need anything in the meantime, feel free to reach out via email at laurennharano@gmail.com.
Have a great week, and thank you for the support!
