T.J Maxx & Keeping Up With Trends

          Today, I'll be focusing on T.J Maxx department stores, everyone’s favorite one-stop shop for everything from home decor and self-care products to fashion. Social media is constantly buzzing with viral products from these stores—whether it’s seasonal decorations, Hello Kitty blankets, or clothes influencers urge us to “run, not walk” to buy. I chose to explore T.J Maxx because it’s not only popular on social media, but also a staple in my own life. You just can’t beat the combination of great deals and quality products.

I have a two-year-old nephew and two older sisters who are my best friends—20 years in the making! I decided to enroll in this course because, after my freshman year of college, I realized that marketing was my calling and wanted to explore it further. I am currently a Business Administration major, but I plan to switch to Marketing next year if it still feels like the right fit.

Outside of college, I am passionate about animals, concerts, and working out. I have six chickens and a cat named Tuna, who I adore—even if she sometimes acts like she wants to kill me! Along with my love for animals, I also
