Raising Three Savvy Ladies

NYC Lifestyle Blog

May 28, 2013 //

Getting Gorgeous NYC: Recap of Some Awesome Brands

I was not compensated for this post.  Thanks to @NYCLaurenBeth for attending the event on behalf of Raising 3 Savvy Ladies.

The fabulous ladies from Getting Gorgeous  Audrey McClelland and Vera Sweeney set the bar very high for this event.  It was a fun-filled day with pampering by CVS’s beauty team  and mingling with the latest brands on new products and  fabulous sweets from Bacardi.

Getting-Gorgeous1

My morning started off by checking out the new line of Dial kids Body & Hair wash.  I think it is  great that they are now age specific on their products. How many times do you let your children use your own shampoos  and think it is ok in the shower or bath?   Think again.   The new Body & Hair wash was developed with pediatric dermatologist for you kid’s perfect skin.  Dial  has specialized formulas for children ages 2-5 and 6-10  this allows parents to make smart  choices  for healthy skin.   Check out some of their promotions here.With 2 new scents  Berry Cool or Watermelon for the 6+ crowd either is a perfect match, for 2+ the peachy clean is such a great light scent and not overpowering.  These new products are sure to make bath time so much fun.

 

I was also able to check out  Tide and their new PODS laundry detergent.   Tide Pods come in 3 scents Spring Meadow, Ocean Mist & Mystic Forest.   Ocean Mist is my favorite,  I have being using these for a while now and they are so convenient; a major help  if you don’t have a washer in you home/ apt just take a few with you on the go and  no worries of lugging a big bottle of laundry detergent with you.   These PODS were designed to bring laundry in line with other practical innovations to  streamline our daily lives. who doesn’t like saving time?    The Tide PODS are so compact, work on multi types of stains  allowing you to say adios to the guesswork involved and they work just as well in cold water saving you money and energy.

If you are not a  Tide user like I am  or want to add a little more scent ,then check out what Downy has to offer  UNSTOPABLES  an in-wash Scent Booster.  The scents will last as long as 12 weeks which is great for towels and sheets that might be sitting in the closet for some time.   What a great idea just add a cap to every wash  and your clothes will keep smelling just as fresh from the day you took them out of the wash until the day you wear them.

With the sun shining  and summer coming into full swing skin protection should be on top of everyone’s mind.   Coolibar offers protective clothes, SPF clothing, sun hats, sun protection swimwear, sunglasses, umbrellas, sunscreens and sunscreen.  Coolibar’s clothing  offer sun protection from damaging ultraviolet rays, their clothing has a UPF of 50+.   With skin cancers becoming very common, it was great to hear that  as a company they are recognized by the Skin Cancer Foundation , Melanoma International & Sunaware.   I will be sporting my oversized hat this summer, the wide brim covers your entire face keeping you protected.

 

While you are protecting your skin, don’t forget about your eyes. Foster Grant has a fabulous selection of trendy affordable sunglasses.  How often have you lost a pair  of sunglasses? No need to worry now you can buy several of these  for the price of a designer’s pair.  No one will no the difference.They look so great on and your eyes will be protected.

Who doesn’t want to look great while working out?  Heidi Klum has partnered with New Balance to create a line of work out clothing to take you from the street to the studio with a hint of Heidi’s sophisticated style.    New Balance also has a new Ballet Flat called Well2Go, which has unique twist which allows use to choose your comfort with its reversible insert. One side has a super comfy memory foam and the other has massaging pods.   What a great idea for walking around the city, a great go to shoe when taking a break from heels.

When going to social media events many people know you by your twitter handle or your blog and not always by your first name.   Well Haute Tags has come up with a unique way to showcase who you.  Haute Tags™ are a playful and chic way to express your passion for social media, the circles you belong to or simply a way to network and start-up a conversation. Social networking can go beyond the virtual and become reality with Haute Tags™.

Do you like the idea of giving home-made cards but don’t have the time or aren’t crafty enough to come up with great phrases  then you must check out Love Jac cards they have the best selection from photo mounted, custom designed and even a card of the month club.  All cards are handmade and photos are ones taking by the artists/designers themselves.  They even have cards designed for a few of NYC’s boroughs.   What a unique way of tell someone Happy Birthday or I Miss you. Check them out on  Facebook

When it comes to fashion looking your best is must.   Check out Thread & Butter they offer a collection of sophisticated wardrobe staples for curvy fashionistas.   Being plus sized doesn’t mean you have to wear oversized, dumpy clothing,  you still have a shape and want to show it off.   Their look book is filled with such gorgeous pieces that is meant to fit and flatter.

Now that you have the right look you need to accessorize  with Jade & Jasper.  Jade & Jasper  offers a line of jewelry that will take you from day to-night  with many pieces to choose from you can mix and match your style and wear these pieces anywhere.  To learn more check out their site 

bacardi.jpg

After all the chatting with everyone, it was time for a drink and who better than Bacardi to mix up some cocktails for everyone.  With their line of ready to serve drinks all you need to do is add  some frozen fruit chunks  so you don’t water down you drink and enhance the flavor of your drink. To learn more about the fabulous  Bacardi Classic Cocktails check out their Facebook page. Summer is almost here and these drinks will keep you cool and refreshed.

So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
