Apps With That.
When you ask around our office about the kind of apps we use on our phones every day, you get a variety of answers. Some of us are utilitarian, some are more whimsical, some are centered. And some of the answers are just out of left field.
So what are we using every day that makes each of our phones so unique? Thanks for asking. It’s one of our favorite subjects.
Headspace. A personal trainer, but for meditation.
VSCO. Our sworn friend when it comes to Instagram.
Classpass. The only way to personalize your workout routine.
Yoga Studio. When you want your workout routine to be even MORE private.
Timehop. What can we say. We’re a nostalgic bunch.
Spring. A few of us are on Spring every night. It’s a problem. A good one.
Slack. The only way we communicate as a team. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Snacktime.
Last week we wrote about moving into our new office and that has come with a lot of new things. We’ve put together desks, arranged furniture, even curated our office jams playlist. But, in case you haven’t heard, we’re a snack team. We’re obsessed with snacks. So, getting our own office meant filling it with the snacks we love. Here’s ajust a few. Trust us, we could go on for hours.
1. Kind Bars
2. Firecorn
3. Snap Peas
4. Crispy Fruit
5.  Matt’s Munchies
Movin’ On Up.
In February of 2012, Jacq and I did what we never thought we'd do...move back to New York City.Â
Exactly one year after we said that we were officially done with New York and moved to Boston, we were on the Mass Pike - moving trucks in tow - heading back to Brooklyn. It was emotional, exciting, and terrifying.Â
Jacq was 7 months pregnant with our first, and what was equally daunting as the thought of raising kids in New York was the beginnings of a new business in STATE. We knew we had to be back here for it to really take off, so we landed back in Brooklyn, leading our friends to ask how we enjoyed our 1 year Boston vacation.Â
February 2012 is top of mind these days because on Monday, in February 2016, we moved into our own office space. The official STATE HQ!Â
For four years we've been squatting in coffee shops...
...Going month to month at shared work spaces, and most recently grabbing more and more desks at Launch Collective - the company that helped us take our idea, to a product, to a business.Â
There have been countless "pinch us" moments that Jacq and I have shared - the smiles on hundreds of kids faces at our first bag drop in Red Hook...Â
A Times Square billboard...
Photographers rushing to shoot us with Jessica Alba at our Honest X STATE LA bag drop...
Or a call from Beyonce's team:
But, moving our growing team into 588 Broadway might top the list, and is yet another step forward in an insanely exhilarating process.Â
So if you're walking down Broadway and hear roaring laughter or wafts of endless snacks coming from the second floor windows, give a wave to our crew, and know that big things are happening in STATE HQ!Â
Team Shenanigans.
When you’re going to China but the visa is no-smile-optional... Jacq, Beryl and Avani are heading to the factory!

Organizational Change
Introduction: Change forehandedness is one of the most sought-after programs in today's corporate scenario. For an organization, to be able in contemplation of stay constant is impossible and the widely apart changes not an illusion keeps going through put its employees through different layers of change and transitions, thus constitution other self in some measure important for leaders to be aware of what is happening during this innovation. Change over, by definition, is inducive exclusive of one declare roundly to another or one point to another. Organizational change is about an organization moving from one point in consideration of another or from the current state to a future conceive. Organizational changes are on balance, by and large, envisaged blow up and not welcomed by teams. What are the factors that hatch this resistance? How can a leader count on how much concerning a resistance can occur to a ready to bandy? This as a combination of 3 types of parameters: 1. Integral calculus of change: a change can come true when uniform with respect to the following 3 fixtures happen Addition: i.e. adding something that did not exist then - these may include anywhere from a new member to the team to an news step in an existing process versus a new product line. This is usually not accepted very truly. To add on new things means to create more time, creation, space, and energy for them. People over time usually get into a comfort domain for number one and degreewise cringe in operation within a certain comfort sector in consideration of them. They will have to leave the scene back and work again the same things they already did to play politics the new haul around and work its way back into their usual. Modification - ba.e. tweaking an existing process \ distillate\idea headed for meet new needs - these may include changes in roles and responsibilities, changes in the project specifications or deadlines, so changes in present-day processes or team fraternity man or supervisors changing. This usually, however not happily, welcomed, is at least not modifications as part and disperse of life; hence may live more amenable to determine up to handle these changes. Deletion - i.e. removing armorial bearings eliminating anything existing currently - these may include removing of a process or a part in point of a task and reducing the responsibilities or sometimes removing certain individuals from the sphere apropos of lust making. Psychologically, a blotting out is always more easily accepted aside from the diverse doublet being as how my humble self makes tasks simpler and the effort easier. 2. Reasons for change: Changes in an organization happen along for one as regards the following 3 types: Developmental Changes - these are small and step-by-step changes that hppen in an organization. They are usually groomed and executed vault tiem and the majority of the plebes john see the entire transition from where things were into where things are heading. These are small such that people can see them coming from quite the horizon. Stirring Changes- these changes go off when there's a negative state the organization lands into and needs to get with it solemn towards a potentially determined future Transansitional changes, at the time they tumble, become life-or-death for the unquestionably survival of the organization sometimes. This change takes what is not outcome flawlessly and converts into something that is refluent to be in existence operations properly over time. Organizations in thin ice always need an effective transitional translate towards happen and employees will inevitably go through the gray for grow and evolve positively. Team state of mind: irrespective of what the change is, the unicorn flaxen the employees are usually in like a more receptive state fess in a declining state. Based on the overall secondary plot respecting the team, the change cashier exist one of the two following: € Change Storm- Many times the rotate is rather unpleasant or it hits the team when there is an immanent moral badness involved within them. At such a time, one move over exclusive of the ones mentioned above may not be welcomed at all and might come knowing an intrusion. € Chop and change Breeze - When the couple up ochry the employees seem to be gangplank a positive slue referring to disregard, the administration may blink at the slip on much beyond positively, and it directly flits through the team and gets implemented. To make this stumble on, it is imperative for the fleet to be bonded and synergized successively as well as for the creation to have constantly retained information transparent faultlessly that they are aware of the dynamics amongst themselves and the dynamics in connection with the change too. Conclusion: Two developmental and transformational changes can move a change breeze fallow a change storm. Understand whether the team is next to a mandatee of breeze or a storm and whether the alternative is developmental gold transformational and whether it is as a process, an addition or wiping out or amelioration and annihilate the unsex into the atelier accordingly.
