Last Stop on the FREE Skinny Cow Warner Bra PerfectCup Event is in L.A. Today Till 6 pm

Good Food & Good Fashion

How perfectly fitting and health conscious that the final stop on The Perfect Cup by Skinny Cow Tour for moms and women without kids event running August 27 - 28 is in Los Angeles -- where I live.  There's so much going on at this Nestle brand sponsored gathering at Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood California right now until 6 pm.  If you are a woman, 21 or over, and happen to be in Southern California this afternoon you should definitely check this out.

For sure, this is quite an unusual experience which I just have to share with my readers while it's happening.  I've recently written about both bras and ice cream on this blog.  But, I have to admit, I'm really excited about this, because it's the first time I've ever been able to write about the two in the same post!

The Warner bras I tried on, the Pink style is the one I like best

What do bras and ice cream have to do with each other anyway?

For starters, Skinny Cow wants you to discover their perfect cups of low fat, delicious ice cream.  Today they're giving away 5.8 oz cups of their 150 calorie low-fat ice cream in 5 indulgent flavors: Caramel Cone, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Cookies 'n Cream, Dulce de Leche, and Strawberry Cheesecake. Not only that, because 8 in 10 women wear the wrong bra size according to their research, they are also offering free bra fittings during today's celebration to make sure you can find both a good for you dessert treat and well-fitted bra, all in one place. 

While you're tasting the brand's ice creams and finding out what your true bra size really is, you'll also be treated to sassy cocktails, lots of finger food, perky background tunes, a photo booth, and the chance to win lots of prizes like a makeover by a Glamour stylist.

The fun's not over when you're done partying, either.  When you head over to the exit you'll be able to pick up a goody bag and your coupon redeemable at Macy's for a free and perfectly fitting Warner's Bra for you.

Right now their pre-registered appointments are booked, but they are still encouraging walk-ins. So it's definitely worth a try to see if you and your girlfriends can get in today.

Here's all the info on how YOU can attend this free branded event too!  But, hurry.  Today is the FINAL day of festivities on Skinny Cow's awesome Perfect Cup Summer Tour which originated in Providence, Rhode Island and then continued across the U.S. making stops in Boston, New York, Chicago, and Houston before arriving on the West Coast for this weekend.

So what are you waiting for? Get over to the Pacific Design Center this afternoon and join in the fun.

If you miss this event, not to worry.  You can still enter to WIN a really fun Skinny Cow Goody Bag HERE.

Women Small Business WIN a $15K Deluxe Makeover

Competition

I first learned of Deluxe Corporation and their dedication to helping us women entrepreneurs and small businesses owners grow in January. At the time, I was one of 80 lucky female business owners, along with people like Jean Roth, who were privileged to attend the Dreamers Into Doers Conference at Martha Stewart Omnimedia 's corporate office in New York City. The multi-day gathering, hosted by Martha Stewart herself, was sponsored by Deluxe.

Details Below, Application Deadline: 9/30/11

During the course of that two day event, I learned and networked much.  One of the speakers was Deluxe's PR director (pictured above), who addressed us about best practices for marketing communications.  This smart lady also invited all of us to submit a request for a complimentary logo design and website makeover by her company.

The lovely sponsored sit down catered lunch featured the beautifully presented Grilled Dill Salmon and coffee and sweet dessert assortment in these photos.   I thoroughly enjoyed hearing our speaker as well as savoring all this gourmet food, and meeting and networking with the other business owner gals at my table.  But, there's one thing I've  regretted ever since -- that I did NOT take the time to apply for the generous Deluxe awards opportunities that were offered to us that day.

So, when I received an email today asking if I'd post about Deluxe's Project REV 2012 I didn't hesitate to immediately apply myself for this program which is still accepting applications right now. It only took me about a half hour to answer some basic questions and fill out the online form. But, I didn't want to stop there, which is why I wrote this blogpost right away.  

This is too good of a support resource to U.S. entrepreneurs to keep to myself. For certain, I want to share this wonderful opportunity with all of this blog's readers, particularly those hard-working women -- like me -- that could use a little help to boost our own  home-based cottage industries.

Currently, Deluxe is still accepting applications for a chance to win a marketing makeover for 2012 that includes $15K worth of the brand's marketing products and services. As part of the prize, the winners selected also will get a full year's worth of marketing and business mentorship with Deluxe and SCORE advisors.

Project REV, an outreach program underwritten by Deluxe, helps small business owners and entrepreneurs achieve growth, increase sales and acquire new customers. Marketing products and services the company provides include web site development and hosting, logo design and branding, email marketing, traditional direct marketing and more. 
 
Last year, the project's nine recipients included six female entrepreneurs with businesses that have since collectively experienced a 50% revenue increase despite the current challenges of the U.S. economy.

Laura Radewald, vice president of enterprise brand at Deluxe and a former entrepreneur herself, sums up my own professional predicament well. She says, "Today's entrepreneurs and small business owners are passionate about their businesses as well as often frustrated with marketing and unsure if they are doing it effectively."

I'm almost certain that I'm not the only female small business owner that would like to turn my passion into a successful enterprise. So, if you feel as I do, I highly encourage you to apply for Deluxe's Project REV 2012.

HOW TO APPLY

Good Luck to Everyone!!!

Ben 10 Ultimate Alien Volume 3: The Return of Heatblast Kids DVD Review & GIVEAWAY, Ends 9/15

Tweet

Kids Entertainment

Entry details for GIVEAWAY below review
Image provided by Cartoon Network


Just when you thought it was starting to cool off, it turns out that August is going to be heating up instead. What am I talking about? You mean we haven’t seen the last heat wave of summer yet?

In a manner of speaking, yes.  That's because Cartoon Network Enterprises is predicting that it’s going to be scorching hot with this month’s release of their latest DVD title, Ben 10 Ultimate Alien Volume 3: The Return of Heatblast.  After having the opportunity to screen the latest installment of Ben Tennyson’s animated action adventures, I think my 14 year-old triplets (two girls, one boy) totally get Cartoon Network’s drift.

In the new DVD, which is now available in stores and online, Ben must face his past as his arc rivals of yore come back to haunt him. The title of this volume gets its name from the fact that Ben has a rematch when Heatblast takes on Dr. Viktor.   In the latest release he’ll also have no choice but to deal with Elena who arrives with another nanochip swarms and other villains.

The question -- in these 10 episodes from the Ben 10 Ultimate Alien series Season 2 – is: Can Ben 10’s super fan Jimmy Jones come to the rescue before it’s too late?   Your kids will have to watch to find out the answers to how everything turns out.

My teenage trio had various reactions to the two disc DVD set that Cartoon Network sent us for review. However our 15 year-old son had no interest in watching. That’s not a surprise, since the target market for this DVD is boys 6-14.

My 14 year-old, the multi-tasking movie critic at work

iPhone Photo by Janis Brett Elspas, MommyBlogExpert.com

As I expected, my 14 year-old triplet son was the most avid fan in the family for this review. Prior to this he had heard about the Ben 10 series, but because we don’t get Cartoon Network, he had not watched this previously.

Considering that it was his first time ever viewing any Ben 10 episode, my boy said it was a little confusing to figure out the back story at first. But, after just a couple of episodes he could easily understand what was going on and was completely drawn in.

“My favorite character,” he says, “is Ben.  That’s because he is a teen, like me, that seems to be a born leader.  I thought it was particularly cool how he changes into all these different aliens.”

Interestingly, my son’s two triplet sisters also like the show. The oldest girl was very straight forward, saying that she thought had a really good story line. What’s more, with every episode she found it even more “addicting.”

The other female triplet was a bit more insightful and particularly articulate.  She said, “The story concepts, dialogue, and action were all excellent and the ideas for each episode were better than the previous ones.  Simply described, this is an action DVD for kids that combines reality with science fiction in a cartoon format.”

Ben 10 Ultimate Alien Volume 3: The Return of Heatblast was just released on August 2 by Cartoon Networks (CN), Turner Broadcasting System's ad-supported cable service.  TBS is a Time Warner company.  The two DVD Set -- which includes 10 episodes plus a Blast From the Past Database as a special feature -- has a run time of 225 minutes and carries a suggested retail price of $19.97.   

The Ben 10: Ultimate Alien CN series, distributed by Warner Home Video, continues to be the network’s #1 show for boys 6-14 on Friday nights, reaching 8.1 million kids throughout the season.  A blast from the
