Style United - First Online Virtual Personal Fashion Consultant and Stylist + Giveaway for NEW Members

Style

Style United $500 Shopping Spree Giveaway at bottom of post



I could stay on this new site that's in Beta called StyleUnited all day after exploring it for hours this morning for another blog writing assignment. Instead, since I'm really enamored with my new virtual personal stylist already -- not to mention that the deadline is today to get this post published -- I'll share with you why this is so cool for fashionista wannabes like me. For sure I'm in need of a total makeover right now, since BlogHer 2012 is just about two months away and perhaps you might be too.
This Mom Blogger Needs a Total Makeover, Don't You Think?
Prior to touring this new site created by P&G, I didn't really know what to expect. I knew this was supposed to be about fashion and creating your own personal style, but little else. What I discovered and I think you will too is the world's first truly free and personalized virtual styling consultation site that covers how to look beautiful from head to toe no matter what your age, physical qualities, style preferences, and lifestyle are.

Now that I've set up my account and created my personal style file using this fab resource I'm going to encourage you to do the same. If you want to be inspired and look your best for occasions ranging from driving car pool to going out on the town with your significant other to those of you attending BlogHer '12 in New York City this August look no further than this one-stop site.

After you sign up for Style United you may as well dive right in like I did and get your styling recommendations. My overall initial reaction to the site is that it is interactive, intuitive and was easy to navigate around. 

It took me a little over an hour to complete the four multiple choice quizzes to assess individualized needs in skin care (I have dry skin), hair care (my fave styles are loose curls), cosmetics (I gravitate toward bold makeup) and fashion (I'm a flirty romantic when it comes to clothes and accessories).  The little tests, BTW, range from only 4 to 9 questions each so don't worry, this is going to be a fun task that doesn't require much brain work for you to choose the "right" answers that best apply to you.

My Fave Things About this Site
  • Learned a bunch of new things about making the best out of my makeup and skin care and hair care regimens
  • The Tips & Trends content seemed perfect for me and I particularly liked the Best Styles for Fine Hair and How to Reinvent Fashion Classics posts as well as the short video Six Chic Ways to Tie a Scarf
  • Best of All: I fell in love with the curated fashion collection of clothing, shoes and accessories just for me that I was able to save in my style file so I can come back and shop for later once I figure out why the buy button doesn't allow me to get more details on the items I love as well as pricing (I'm guessing that void may be since I'm not using the current iOS)
  • Didn't have time to try it yet, but I love the idea of the site's free 1:1 Customized Style Online Video Consultation and look forward to doing that the next time I visit the site
Once I've decided what fashion, accessory and P&G products I want to buy, I'll try them and post pictures of the results here.

Meanwhile, what are you waiting for? Join Style United now. Start tapping into the Style 360 element of the site and take those quizzes that will help you discover your own personal style. I look forward hearing about what you think of Style United, so please leave a comment and share your experiences.

June is Great Outdoors Month NWF Invites Families & Kids to Great American Family Backyard Campout

Nature 



WIN a Trip to NY or L.A., Details below post

In May, MBE reviewed the children's animated feature Sid the Science Kid Backyard Campout from PBS.  Now family friendly backyard campouts are front and center again because June is Great Outdoors Month by Presidential proclamation. So what better time than now to actually show our kids by example why it’s called the Great Outdoors. Throughout the coming days there will be all kinds of opportunities that reintroduce children across the U.S. to getting outside for some fresh air, old-fashioned fun and quality family time.

An ideal place to start is by getting your family to participate in the 8th Annual Great American Backyard Campout on June 23. Fundraising is optional but National Wildlife Federation is encouraging backyard campers everywhere to help raise funds to support programs that make it possible for America’s kids to switch screen time with green time.

Now that school is out for much of the nation, kids are already spending too much time sitting indoors with their  electronic devices. The program's main focal point is to change all that by helping parents to foster a healthy outdoor lifestyle that young and old can enjoy together.

Free registration on NWF Campout Website gives access to
  • Campfire Recipes
  • Nocturnal Wildlife Guides
  • Campfire Songs
  • Camping Games
  • Nature Activities
  • Lots More Fun

    Image from NWF
NWF’s report The Dirt on Dirt: How Getting Dirty Outdoors Benefits Kids seems to indicate that outdoor time can reduce childhood obesity while also increasing overall health quality in our kids. Fresh air also is known to enhance creativity and attention spans, decrease aggression, and boost classroom performance.  

Best of all, a night outside will give kids the chance to experience first-hand why it’s called the GREAT outdoors.

Giveaway
Campers who register on NWF’s web site will be entered in the sweepstakes for a chance to go behind-the-scenes with celebrity naturalist David Mizejewski and some of his amazing wildlife friends. One lucky camper and a guest wins a trip to an upcoming NWF TV appearance in New York or Los Angeles.  Prize includes round trip airfare for two (2) from the contiguous United States or the District of Columbia, one (1) night hotel accommodation, one (1) meal for winner and guest with David and ground transportation to and from the airport. The potential winner will be selected through a random drawing on Monday, June 25, 2012, from all eligible entries received by Sponsor.

National Wildlife Federation inspires Americans to protect wildlife for our children’s future. Campout, which is made possible by national sponsors REI and the Coleman Company, is a signature event of NWF’s Be Out There movement whose goal is to engage 10 million new kids in outdoor play over the next three years. The Great American Backyard Campout lets kids explore a whole other world right in their own backyard at a local camp ground, or at a larger community camping event.

Heirloom Quality Handmade Eco Friendly Jewelry That Gives Back to the Artisan That Made It


Accessories


 For this post, I'm working with Clever Girls in support of Macy's Heart of Haiti to shine a light on the "trade, not aid" program, which provides sustainable income to Haitian artisans struggling to rebuild their lives and support their families after the 2010 earthquake.


Two hearts beating as one. Literally. That's what this heart hand crafted pendant and labor of love represents -- both to those women who wear it here in the U.S. and to the talented artists Haiti who make each unique piece by hand. This partnership, in a very beautiful way,  is helping to rebuild lives ravaged by Hurricane Tomas. What's more is it's green and environmentally responsible piece because it incorporates recycled material that might otherwise go into a landfill.


What could be more special than this one-of-a-kind jewelry?  It truly is a three-way legacy from Haitian artisan, to you the giver, to the recipient of this accessory that really does have heart in a big way. Strung on a soft faux leather thong, each Heart of Haiti piece is hand cut and hammered using recycled steel. The product is part of Macy's FairwindsTrading program that connects cultures through business, art and understanding.

 This is definitely not a gift you need an occasion to give -- though it would make a lovely and thoughtful present for everything from birthdays and anniversaries to Mother's Day.  

As a matter of fact, I can think of so many ways this heart pendant can be gifted. Here are just a few ideas to get you thinking about why it might be a good idea to buy not one, but two of these.
  • Celebrating best friends, one for you and one for them
  • A mother-daughter or daughter-mother just because gesture
  • A way to connect with  a special sister, sister-in-law, aunt, or  grandma
  • To show a woman with cancer that you care
  • For your daughter and for your favorite teacher
I'm so glad that I received two of these since two of my triplets are girls and I've already given them each one because I don't want to wait for their birthday.  

This is a gift that not only is something my daughters can accessorize with. It also teaches them about that hard-working ethic that has been lost to so many of America's youth. It's also a meaningful lesson about people in a seemingly hopeless situation, who have instead risen to the occasion, to turn a negative life experience into a positive one. 


Something that gives from every perspective, and most definitely from the heart. That's what Heart of Haiti is all about.

 FTC Disclosure: As stated at the top of this post I worked with Clever Girls Collective on this project. I received product to facilitate this review but Mommy Blog Expert did not receive any other payment or compensation associated with this post.
