“I believe that every great brand should evolve its look and feel about every five years,” said Katherine Power, serial entrepreneur and the founder of Versed skin care. “Since our launch in 2019, we've seen that our core customer, who is primarily an older millennial or young Gen X — I call them Xennials — has really grown along with us, and we wanted to continue to grow with them and to create something fresh and modern.” This included a refresh of packaging, visuals and language overseen by Lola Gonzalez Marra, Versed's longtime creative lead. Power and Marra have worked together for more than a decade on Power's many entrepreneurial projects, including editorial sites WhoWhatWear and Byrdie — which Power launched with Hillary Kerr in 2006 and 2013, respectively — as well as color cosmetics line Merit, which Power founded in 2021.  “We decided we needed to evolve enough that it's a change, but not so much that you go on Versed one day and it's a completely different brand,” said Marra. As Power and Marra explained on this episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast, the refresh has been in the works for over a year.  Versed was launched in 2019 from data and insights learned at Byrdie and WhoWhatWear, which Power and Kerr have since sold to publisher Dotdash in 2019 and publisher Future Brands in 2022, respectively.  Thanks to Versed's omnichannel strategy where 75% of its sales are through Target, switching over merchandise has required a unique strategy. Hint: Versed is selling off older products DTC for 30% off right now. The team also rolled out tweaks to its social media aesthetic and naming formula for products. The brand also used this as an opportunity to fine-tune the assortment by making product cuts. But perhaps the biggest change is in its packaging colors, which Marra desaturated and leveraged into category IDs, all of which the duo discusses in the podcast episode. 

What are your thoughts on the new Linkin Park singer?Join us as Cory and Nick talk the state of music (and music-based movies!) and reminisce about their own musical journeys, from sneaking secular music past strict parents to reflecting on the impact of provocative pop culture moments like Britney Spears' iconic Rolling Stone cover. Nick opens up about his upbringing in a strict household and how it shaped his appreciation for various music genres. We also dive into the sky-high concert ticket prices for artists like Taylor Swift and Hans Zimmer and how millennials are prioritizing live music experiences over traditional milestones.Our conversation takes a nostalgic turn as we share unforgettable concert experiences with bands like Tool, Metallica, and the All-American Rejects. We debate the pros and cons of standing room versus seated events and laugh about our fashion faux pas at concerts. We also tackle the generational differences in music culture, examining how Xennials navigate their unique path between Gen X's traditionalism and Millennials' quest for flexibility and purpose. From dissecting the unwritten rules of concert attire to exploring the resurgence of early 2000s music among Gen Z, we cover it all with humor and insight.As we wrap up, we reflect on the evolution of bands like Linkin Park and the challenges of separating art from the artist in today's cancel culture. We analyze modern music trends and concert etiquette, emphasizing how Millennials stay engaged with new music while embracing older bands. Finally, we have a blast imagining the ultimate music festival lineup featuring fictional bands from movies and discussing the intricacies of music biopics. Whether you're a die-hard music fan or just curious about the cultural impact of music across generations, this episode has something for everyone.Thanks for listening; If you feel like supporting us, this is where you do that!Patreon (Just a buck to show your support!)BuyMeACoffee Check out or other content/socials here.

We're wrapping up our season with our third mystery, this time focused on a mysterious white cat that might be a ghost or might not be a ghost or may be a reincarnated version of a cat referenced in the letters of a previous occupant. It's another mystery that might not be much of a mystery after all! Follow us! Instagram and Twitter: @generationbsc • Contact us!

Stacey is dealing with the realization that she and Laine have grown apart and what that means for their friendship after Laine comes to visit Stoneybrook. It's a difficult situation all around and our girls (including Laine) could've handled it better. And it all ends with a pretty brutal letter from Stacey to Laine, essentially calling it quits on their friendship and including her half of their best friends necklace. But hey, at least it's also Valentine's Day and Friday the 13th and there are a whole bunch of crushes going around! This includes a dance and a BSC-hosted event for all their babysitting charges.

Dawn's focused on Logan's cousin Lewis coming to visit because she needs to get a boyfriend (out of nowhere), but despite Lewis seemingly knowing and liking the real Dawn, she decides to change everything about herself, only to realize by the end of the book that she should just be herself. And in the B-plot this book, we have a huge content warning, as it deals with a new boy babysitting charge who is overweight and dealing with bullying and a terrible home situation. We discuss weight stigma, disordered eating, and our own personal experiences with both, so if these issues are difficult for you, you may want to skip this episode and join us again in two weeks.

We're joined by artist extraordinaire, Rosie Shaw, to discuss the various adventures and misadventures of our girls when a snowstorm of the century hits Stoneybrook with tons of warning that no-one heeds. The parents make a lot of dubious choices when it comes to the girls and their predicaments, but it wouldn't be a BSC super special without some over-the-top occurrences! Follow us!

This one goes out to all my Gen X'ers, Millennials, and especially my fellow Xennials. You know these songs from your favorite 80's movies, and I put them together in a mix in classic RW fashion. Can you name all of the songs and the movies they are from? Bang it over to my Instagram page and test your knowledge of 80s movies & music to see how much you really know about this mix. New questions will be posted each week and the answers will be revealed on Labor Day.

We're back with our new season and second mystery! The kids in Stoneybrook decide to elect Sitter of the Month, which goes about as well as usual when our girls compete, but this time there's someone playing pranks on all of them... except Kristy.

In this last episode of our Robin Williams month, we talk about Mrs. Doubtfire, which just turned 30, and features a highly characteristic Williams performance full of energy, quickfire improvisation, and an excellent mix of humor and heart. We talk about our different reactions to this film as adults (noticing a lot more of the dirty jokes and sympathizing more with Miranda than Daniel), strong connections to other films about dads faced with new responsibilities, the surprisingly non-villainous Stu, played to perfection by Pierce Brosnan, Sally Field's always rock-solid performance, our maximum adoration of Harvey Fierstein, the use of disguise and role-playing as a means to self-discovery throughout literature, and how this film, which handles the theme of children dealing with divorce so tenderly, was like free therapy to us in the 90s (and we're guessing to other Xennials as well). Give it a listen!

Ever wondered about the unique challenges and experiences of belonging to the Zennial/Xennial generation, wedged between the millennial and Gen X generations? Join Dan and I as we navigate our generational identity and discuss the importance of staying abreast with technology in our fast-paced world. Our insightful chat with Dan Kephart introduces you to the complexities of motivating airmen in a tech school setting. Unravel the significance of KPIs, talent development within the air force and how it all ties back to unit leaders. A little bit later, we delve into the hurdles faced by those who haven't had many PCSs or TDYs and the value of supervisor experience. We also touch upon the necessity of honest feedback to our team, fostering growth and avoiding stagnation. Lastly, we open up about our personal experiences transitioning out of the Air Force, the accompanying regrets and internal struggles tied to the values held by the Air Force. As we reflect on the significance of upholding the oath of enlistment, we also ponder the possible decline of patriotism and the impact social media may have on the younger generations. From internal struggles related to our values and patriotism to the physiological impacts of caffeine consumption on our wellbeing, join us for this journey filled with personal experiences, honest feedback, and in-depth discussions about technology.Be a ⭐️ of the

As promised after our discussion last week, we're revisiting our discussion of the Netflix series episode, Jessi and the Superbrat.

Claudia gets a regular babysitting job with a genius child star named Rosie Wilder. Rosie's parents have done a real number on her and she spends all her time taking lessons, practicing, and working (and regurgitating lines from her parents about said career and her life generally). It's a real contrast with the home life of our Superbrat Derek Masters. Claudia ultimately connects with Rosie over drawing and they put on an art show together (where we see the junk food-inspired pop art that is classic Claudia). The girls all pitch in on the art show and babysitting Rosie on occasion and even Janine gets to be an honorary BSC member! Follow us! Instagram and Twitter: @generationbsc ​ Contact us!

It's the volunteering book! Jessi gets interested in volunteering at Stoneybrook Elementary to keep a club where the kids do good deeds in the community and brings the rest of the BSC along. The SES school club included a girl named Danielle who is recovering from leukemia and who connects with Becca, Charlotte, and Jessi and ends up with a BSC universe version of Make-A-Wish trip to Disney World. Jessi's Wish had so many opportunities to go so wrong, but it threaded the needle to a perfectly pleasant and quintessential BSC book. We really did enjoy this book and it resulted in one of our favorite conversations so far! Follow us! Instagram and Twitter: @generationbsc ​ Contact us!

Mallory is all about winning a writing competition at Stoneybrook Middle School for Young Authors' Day (that inexplicably has nothing to do with the 8th grade author projects from Mary Anne Misses Logan). Her inability to find time to work on her submission without constant interruption reveals just how far her parentification goes and she finally goes on strike. For one day... In usual BSC fashion, the conflict is resolved, but sadly it's an unsatisfying outcome for us. Follow us! Instagram and Twitter: @generationbsc ​ Contact us!

We were dreading the return of the Mary Anne and Logan ship, but it turns out Logan was kind of a non-entity considering his name is in the title, and Mary Anne is much more level headed and reasonable about missing him on their road to reconciliation. But what we missed in melodrama from Mary Anne, we made up for in spades with Cokie Mason antics, toilet monsters, group projects, and speeches in front of "famous" fake authors. Follow us!

It's the book where everyone's obsessed with babies! Our girls take an infant care class and are immediately inundated with jobs sitting for babies, which coincides with the bi-annual baby parade in Stoneybrook. The Baby-Sitters Club decides to enter a float and it goes disastrously, but they ultimately learn that communication is key to success. This is, of course, after another instance of our girls treating each other poorly when things don't go perfectly and they feel embarrassed, but all's well that ends well! Follow us!

Join me as I have a lovely conversation with Mel B. and Jackie D. Owners of BDA Publishing, and hosts of Read, Watch, or DNF, and DNF Happy Hour podcasts! We discuss The Yellow Wallpaper, Xennials, ADHD, books and much much more! Mel B. here, the CEO (whatever that means). I'm a workaholic who enjoys naps, books, and cows. I was born in NYC, and now I live in Northern Virginia with a couple of big dogs, cats, my kids, and my husband, in a massive farmhouse in the middle of wine country. I'm an East Coast Army girl who married a West Coast Marine. Somewhere along the way I got old because apparently I've worked for the military and government for nearly 20 years - not sure how that is possible since I'm only 22. I don't do hobbies; my personality is too flawed to let me do anything ‘moderately'. So, I now have several full time ‘passions' that eat up my day - and I wouldn't have it any other way. Maleficent is my spirit guide, bossing is my daily, and relentless may actually be my legal middle name. I've never met an obstacle or challenge where I didn't say “hold my cocktail”, and I'm not about to start now. Reading is my one true escape from reality, so when the idea popped up that we could help put more stories out into the world - you better believe I said “bet”. Now, I'm using all of my 'talents' to take on the publishing industry with my besties at my back - Charlie's Angels style! Jackie: I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, so Pens and Stillers fan until the day I die. I joined the U.S. Army after some “lost” years at the University of Pittsburgh. The Army was probably the best decision I could have made for myself, and it took me to places all over the world, like Europe, southwest Asia, the Middle East, and all over the U.S. I am married to a southern boy (talk about opposites), I have a wonderful, creative, and compassionate daughter, and a stepson who loves to play baseball. I currently split my time between Northern Virginia and Florida (gotta be close to the Mouse) and always look forward to “down time” so I can enjoy a good beer and read a good book.

Summer Semester has arrived and we're back with a new super special! We're joined by YA librarian, Crissy Varnell of the Chattanooga Public Library, to discuss another two-week vacation from school for our babysitters, this time with a trip for all of them to New York City, inspired by Claudia's desire to attend a specific art school during the break. As is typical for super specials, our girls have varying levels of ridiculousness in their assorted adventures, including international intrigue, agoraphobia, jealousy, and, of course, boys.

Generatieclash tussen Boomers, Millennials, Gen Z, Gen X, Gen Niks... Gen Dip? In deze aflevering duiken we in de verschillen, overeenkomsten, grote historische momenten en natuurlijk de popcultuur van onze generaties. Anousha behoort tot Gen X, Ebissé - met tegenzin - tot de Xennials, en Mariam is, ondanks zichzelf, een pure Millennial.Onze huispsycholoog Mariam heeft grondig onderzocht wat deze generaties emotioneel en sociaal echt definiëert. We delen ook herinneringen, zoals Anousha's ervaringen in het Amsterdam van de jaren '80, Ebissé's perspectief achter het IJzeren Gordijn en Mariam's opgroeien na 9/11.Natuurlijk hebben we ook veel plezier gehad, gedanst en eindeloos gebeld tijdens onze tienerjaren. ☎️

Xennials are sandwiched between overly vaccinated millennials and grumpy Gen Xers. This episode takes a dig at millennials for their safe spaces and trigger warnings, while also criticising Gen Xers for being boring and cynical. The show highlights that Xennials are the kings and queens of the generational jungle with their sense of humour, adaptability and innovation #Xennials #TheMikeyPodcast #generationaljungle #wildride #GenX #millennial

A wise man once said, “All Good Things Must Come To An End”.  And that statement couldn't be more true when it comes to It Came From The 80s. On this final episode of the podcast Jay and Tony talk about what makes their Micro-Generation, Xennials, so special. Jay and Tony, like so many listeners, grew up in both an analog and digital world and have a unique perspective on life, technology, and the past that they discuss in detail in this final installment. Jay and Tony also talk about being the last generation to grow up in the “good old days”, and being amongst the first to grow up in the truly “modern world”. In addition to all this, the guys also have two special guest stars on this episode that can offer some unique perspectives on our hosts and maybe some insights for future generations.

Raise your hand if you've ever said, “Kids these days….” EVERY generation feels like the one (or two) behind them just don't quite measure up. And sometimes we like to, you know, make fun of them for it. It's all in good humor, of course, and today I'm sitting down with a well-known Gen Z'er and activist Gigi Robinson who's going to explain it all for us. And we get to laugh together. Because let's be honest—we Xennials don't always have the best rep either. We talk: + What drives Gen Z + The stereotype that they're "snowflakes" + Her experience with endometriosis and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome + What it's like dealing with a chronic illness + Modeling for Sports Illustrated + Welcoming debate rather than running away from differing opinions --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wegottatalkwithsonni/support

The 1980s were a time for some of cinema's great franchises, the decade where the blockbuster truly took off and sequels became the norm in Hollywood!  Join Jay and Tony as they discuss two of these mega eighties franchises in the latest installment of It Came From The 80s. Yep, this week we are talking about all things Rocky and Indiana Jones! Jay and Tony tell stories of their introductions to these two famous franchises, which of the movies they like best, which lines are their favorites, which characters are their favorites, how Rocky saved us all from the Cold War, and how Indiana Jones allowed World War 2 to happen.   So if you want to hear all about these stories from two xennials who grew up during this time period, and experienced these movies firsthand, then you have chosen wisely!

Were you born between 1977 and 1983? If so, you're a Xennial – part of the microgeneration sandwiched between Generation X (born 1965 and later) and the Millennials (born up until 1996).

A quick announcement that we're extending our Fall Break a little longer due to life and mental health concerns. We're both huge proponents of saying what you need and right now we (and Lauryn in particular) are acknowledging that we currently don't have the bandwidth to devote to the podcast to the degree we want and expect of ourselves and need to focus on other things in our lives, mental health in particular. We're hoping the extension will only be a few more weeks, but we don't want to set a date we can't be sure we can hit. Stay tuned here and on social media for an announcement of when we'll be back and hopefully some fun new ideas to expand the content we include in each episode. Thanks for your consideration and support and we can't wait to get back to new episodes soon! Follow us! Instagram and Twitter: @generationbsc Contact us!

John and Shukri discuss the ultimate Generation X movie: Reality Bites. Is this film specifically focused on Gen X problems or do young people face the same issues today?

In this episode join in the fun as your favorite Xennials are back with an all-new episode of It Came From The 80s. This time they talk turkey. Yep, you guessed it, this episode is all about food! In this episode, Jay and Tony take a trip down memory lane as they discuss their favorite restaurants of yesteryear! The guys talk about favorite food stories from their childhood, as well as some fun stories of when they were adults. They say that food is the universal language, so this is definitely an episode that you will not want to miss, because if you do, you may forget the most important question of them all: Where's the Beef??

The elementary school kids in Stoneybrook have pen pals who live and attend school on a Zuni reservation in New Mexico. After a fire at the school and several homes in that community, Dawn is inspired to get the Stoneybrook community involved in some fundraising and donation drives in what could've been heartwarming, but ultimately just felt generally not great for us due to the communities involved and the book's inability to dive deeper and tell a better version of this story (although we acknowledge this might be another "be careful what you wish for" situation). This is on top of a few different culturally insensitive and downright terrible comments and situations from our kids that aren't really addressed as being bad. There are some fun notes - like the carnival in the Pikes' back yard - but this was another book we just wanted more from. Follow us! Instagram and Twitter: @generationbsc Contact us!

Stacey's long-foreshadowed health emergency has finally arrives. After extended periods being super tired and very hungry and thirsty, Stacey finally admits how she's feeling and ends up in the hospital in NYC for two weeks. Her time there is helped by two visits from the Baby-Sitters Club, but severely hindered by her parents' inability to be in the same room and remain civil while Stacey insists she wants and needs them there together. Stacey ends up recovering and having a heart-to-heart with her mom (and then her dad off-screen) about how they are treating her and what she needs from them. Charlotte takes things poorly back in Stoneybrook, exhibiting clear hypochondria that Dr. Johansson somehow fails to properly understand. Follow us! Instagram and Twitter: @generationbsc Contact us!

Jessi gets the starring role in Sleeping Beauty over older girls in her ballet classes, which causes various levels of jealousy and anger. This results in Jessi getting threatening notes in her bag along with multiple incidents of stolen and damaged personal property. The BSC helps narrow down the suspects to three and Jessi uses logic and ingenuity to figure out the culprit and then... just forgives her for terrorizing her? The logic goes out the window and the teachable moment doesn't go the way we'd prefer. Also there's a pet show. Follow us! Instagram and Twitter: @generationbsc Contact us!

Logan continues to be the worst and basically never being understanding of anything Mary Anne wants or needs and after she cools things off for a bit (which he respects for a literal day), they end up breaking up for real. We recall our prior conversations where perhaps we internalized Logan and Mary Anne being the BSC OTP because there's a whole lot of tell, not show in the series. There's some Jenny Prezzioso-related antics throughout and the BSC does their best to support Mary Anne through her tough times with Logan, including Dawn swinging back toward best BSC friend.

Join Jay and Tony on this week's episode as they discuss family life, 1980s style.   In this “Family Values 80s Style” pod the guys give a history of how the family dynamic has changed over the past 50 years while also playing a little game in which Jay names the show AND the parents from a classic 80s sitcom armed only with the knowledge of the kid's names. Jay and Tony love their quizzes! The guys also discuss their own personal family stories, from divorce to family parties, to spending time with grandparents. This episode is full of things that many other Gen X and Xennials can relate to from a time long gone, but certainly not forgotten!

There's literally no mystery in this one where Claudia is accused of cheating on a math test after she gets an A- and just so happens to have the exact same right and wrong answers as Shawna Riverson, who obviously cheated off Claudia in what turns out to be a premeditated offense. Seriously - we did not remember Shawna, but she's somehow worse than Cokie Mason. Claudia and the BSC have some antics and eventually resolve the issue at hand and Claudia gets some recognition for her hard work and success. Follow us!

We're back from our Summer Vacation with another super special! We're joined by YA librarian and mom of next generation BSC readers, Dr. Lyn Scharf Hunter, to discuss our babysitters' two-week, non-Christmas winter break trip to California after winning the lottery. As usual, hyjinks of varying levels occur, but this time around we're spared of any extended truly life-or-death stakes. Follow us! Instagram and Twitter: @generationbsc Contact us!

We get what we've been wishing for when the BSC finally tackles the issues of wealth and class in Stoneybrook when Mr. Pike loses his job (and then promptly and relatively easily finds a new one) in Poor Mallory. And as a result, we learn sometimes getting what you've asked for isn't the best... Follow us! Instagram and Twitter: @generationbsc Contact us!
