Today I’m joined by Festicia, the founder and editor-in-chief of FOCUS Magazine, a lifestyle publication that highlights Zillennial culture and the voices shaping it. Since launching, FOCUS has reached over 200,000 people across social media and generated more than 600,000 website impressions, becoming a growing platform within its niche. Alongside building the magazine, Festicia has also built an impressive career in public relations, working as a senior account executive at Hunter PR on campaigns for brands like Ulta Beauty, Amazon, and Meta, and Diageo dee-AH-jee-oh. After building her experience in PR, she’s now transitioned into finance, bringing a unique perspective across media, branding, and business.

Does Fabric Matter? Fabric is one of the most important elements of clothing, yet many shoppers rarely think about it. I asked people whether they check what their clothes are made of, if they believe price equals quality, and how they feel about brands using synthetic materials like polyester. Their responses reveal how much — or how little — material awareness plays a role in modern shopping habits.
