Goooooood Morning! My goodness it was a long day yesterday. I never even got a chance to get over to my own site and join the #Blogbaskets conversation. No worries though because there were a dozen people who were brainstorming creative ideas for new 1800Baskets Gift Baskets. There were three women in particcular who were conversing away, exchanging ideas and building on each other’s thoughts, Robin, Petula and Sarina. And since they all THREE did such a great job, I’m going to call all THREE of them WINNERS of the Day 3 #Blogbaskets giveaway! CONGRATS!!!
Would you like to know what you have won? Step right this way! [Read more...]

So enough with the small talk let’s get to the rules for today’s giveaway. We had such an amazing conversation on my facebook fanpage yesterday I wanted to have a similar one here for all the WORLD to see. (LOL!). So the contest is about conversation. We’re going to talk creatively about giftbaskets. I want to hear your ideas about what kind of fantastical, (now I know I made that one up!), gift baskets you would love to see available and what AWESOME names you would have for them. And I don’t just want you to post your ideas. I want you to feed off of other peoples ideas as well, comment, add to, improve, whatever! Let’s brainstorm together. Then at the end of this day, 10pm ET, today Friday August 6, we’ll see who has contributed the most to the conversation and they will win. Clear and simple. What will they win?

Day one of my five days of #BlogBaskets Giveaways done. Now for day two’s wrap up.
Today we amped it up a bit over on facebook. fans participate in an indepth discussion about baskets. Really listening to each other and contributing great content.

And they are not only winning baskets for themselves but one to give away to their favorite person! We are spreading love and conversations! So drum roll please… The winners of the facebook chat off are
Dee Pearlstein and Shannon Schulte!

I leave at 6am Thursday to begin my whirlwind of a weekend in New York City, known more popularly as Blogher. Although for me it’s more like Blogblurr because there are so many things that I will be doing from Thursday to Saturday that it will be hard to keep my head attached to my body! But I promise to stay in tact though because I have work to do …for you. I am going to be your virtual fun master, made all the more special with wonderful gift baskets provided by the virtuouso of joy, 1800Baskets. How much joy you say? Well, they have given me 21 magnificent baskets to give to you! Yes you! And the best part is it doesn’t matter if you are going to Blogher or not, you can take part in the fun! No one need turn into a Green Eyed Monster here because everyone is invited to the party! But this isn’t your typical party. Noooooo! Because this party will last for FIVE DAYS! (Well, it’s not a typical party for me, but maybe you live a more raucous life. Just sayin’). I am going to do a variety of things through that time to amp up the fun and keep you involved. You won’t want to miss it. So how do we get started? Simple.. [Read more...]
Okay who is running a little late with their preparations for #Blogher10. Hands? Anyone? Well, I am seriously pushing it. I haven’t even figured out all of my outfits yet. Lucky for me Lane Bryant has sent me a gift card to get some extra pieces, or that one very special outfit to feel fabulous this weekend in New York City. Not only did they send me a gift card, but they also sent me a coupon code to make my gift card go that much farther.
Why am I telling you this? Well, first of all because I want to make sure I am in complete compliance with the FTC disclosure rules. But even more importantly, I am telling you because my code is meant for sharing. Oh yeah! No we can all look fabulous whether we are going to Blogher or not. Not bad huh? Definitely not! And not just because of the savings, but because the savings are on some pretty amazing clothes. No, seriously. Today’s Lane Bryant is not your mother’s Lane Bryant. [Read more...]
Diabetes. What is it exactly? When I was growing up, all I knew about diabetes was that Mary Tyler Moore had it. She used to do PSA’s on television that would come on between my shows. Then when I was pregnant, diabetes came up because I had to do the glucose test that required me to fast. That was memorable because fasting while pregnant is a nightmare of hunger. Last year, my youngest daughter was found to have an enlarged pancreas, which is extremely rare in children. The first thing they tested for was diabetes. Though they haven’t figured out what to diagnose her with, they have ruled out diabetes. Earlier this year, diabetes came up at my check up, when my doctor expressed concerns about a my weight and the potential of a pre-diabetic state. Say What!? Now, I don’t have diabetes. I’m not in any pre-diabetic state, but just the thought that I could be made me stand up and take notice. [Read more...]
For my fourth decade on this earth I want more More MORE! This Friday May 14th I am turning 40, which means I will be the right age to do just that.
More Magazine is the leading voice of today’s sophisticated and accomplished woman, who is enjoying the richest years of her life, sharing news and advice on beauty, fashion, health, career, travel, money and relationships from her distinct perspective. Starting this Friday May 14th with my 40th birthday launch I intend to be that sophisticated lady who wants MORE. And thanks to my friends at Eucerin I’m going to have the chance to do just that in a big way at The More Reinvention Convention in my home city of Chicago.
The More Magazine Reinvention Convention is an all-day event with speakers and panelists chosen to help you reinvent your career, revive your look, rev up your energy, reimagine your future, reinvigorate your sex life, revise your priorities and recharge your life!
As a sponsor of the event, Eucerin has invited me to experience the MORE in life as their guest at the convention. They’re giving me the chance to enjoy all that the Reinvention Convention has to offer – including stopping by the Eucerin booth where a skin care expert will be available to speak about the importance of putting my skin first and sharing Eucerin products.
But there’s MORE! Eucerin is also providing one of my lucky readers a chance to reinvent themselves and put their #skinfirst right along with me. In honor of my 40th Birthday celebration launch Eucerin is offering a complimentary ticket, ($195 value), to the MORE Reinvention Convention right here on my site! Want to know MORE?… [Read more...]
Last week I hosted my second #MomBaskets party for 1800Baskets.com. No, not another Twitter party. This was something very different. Though our #MomBaskets Twitter party was a great success and more importantly a lot of fun for all who participated, I thought it was important for us to change things up a bit for the #MomBaskets2. I knew the perfect place to do just that, MomsLikeMe.com. [Read more...]
Who likes to party? Who likes to win prizes just for having an insightful conversation? Who likes to be able to win prizes whether they can be at a party or not? If you answered yes to any of these questions then I have a party for you. 1800Baskets and I had such a wonderful time last week at our #Mombaskets Twitter Party that we simply couldn’t wait to have another. This time we will be gathering on the MomsLikeMe.com/Chicago website Tuesday April 20th from 9am to NOON CST. We’ll be talking about your kids and gifts. What you get for them. What they get for you. What they like to get for friends and family. And what you ultimately teach your children about giving and receiving gifts. All along the way I will be posting gift basket prizes from the online wunderkind of gift baskets, 1800Baskets.com. All you have to do is RSVP. Click here to take survey [Read more...]
