Giveaway Time. Snack on This: Sweet Potato popchips! Sweet!

0 / January 18, 2012 3:24 pm

It has been over a year since we hosted a popchips giveaway and since it’s the New Year and they have some new flavors, we decided to do it again! I don’t know about you, but we are certainly watching our weight now and at 100 calories per bag, popchips are a guilt-free indulgence. They taste delicious and have less than half the fat of fried chips. Heck, we have been known to live on them during Fashion Week.

Celebrity health & wellness expert, Jillian Michaels is a brand enthusiast of popchips and shares her tips for keeping fit for the New Year…

• avoid fried foods at all costs.
• eat three balanced meals a day every four hours with a snack in between lunch and dinner.
• eat no more than 6-8 teaspoons of fats and vegetable oil per day.  choose oils that are mostly unsaturated such as olive oil.
• opt for cooking methods that use little or no fat such as steaming, grilling, baking, popping, broiling or roasting.
• purchase healthier alternatives when given a choice (popchips vs. fried chips, grilled chicken vs. fried chicken).
• curb salty cravings with tasty snacks such as popchips, almonds or dried cranberries.

This year, get your friends together and resolve to be healthier as a group. One easy change, eliminate fried foods by substituting grilled chicken for fried chicken, fresh vegetables for fried vegetables and popchips for fried potato chips.

popchips giveaway: Second City Style is giving three (3) lucky popstars a month’s supply of the newest and hottest flavor of popchips…Sweet Potato!  Simply fill out the form below by 5pm EST on Thursday, January 26, 2012 and we will pick 3 winners at random.

If you are on Twitter follow popchips and leave a comment telling them how much you love them! @popchipsNY and/or@popchips. Or if you prefer Facebook, “like” popchips here!

Good luck and pop on!

L’Oréal Paris Asks When Did You Last Answer the “Because I’m Worth It” Question?

0 / November 23, 2011 10:00 am

Can you believe it has been 40 years since L’Oréal Paris launched their landmark “Because I’m Worth It” slogan? Has it really been that long? It’s true. The slogan reflects an extraordinary journey that has accompanied women’s empowerment over the past four decades.

Written in 1971 when a social revolution and a new spirit of feminism was in full swing, these four words are bound to the time of their creation. While the commercial’s primary message related to the justification of product pricing – a more important social significance emerged: a woman’s value was to be found not only in her physical beauty but also in her sense of self-worth. “This celebration is about the extraordinary journey of a slogan that resonates today more than ever with women’s aspirations all around the globe. It reflects a certain vision of Beauty, made of self-esteem and empowerment, two values which we are very proud to have at the core of our Brand” says Cyril Chapuy, Brand Global President. Today, the slogan has been translated into 40 languages, and reflects L’Oréal’s  diverse conception of Beauty.

In honor of this momentous anniversary, we are asking you, our readers to leave us your “because I’m worth it” memory or favorite product that you will splurge on. One luck winner will win mine. Just leave us a comment to this post and we will pick a winner on Friday, December 2 (just remember to leave your email address). What is mine? Eye cream! Since the age of 19 I have been using eye cream religiously. Mind you at that age I didn’t have much money to spend on it, but as the years passed I spent more and more. Knowing that eyes are the first thing to reveal age, I figure I am totally worth spending a king’s ransom…and I do! I love good eye cream. What do you splurge on? Do share!

Blog Giveaway: Lad Named Felix Necklace!

0 / October 25, 2011 12:00 pm

Lad Named Felix was started locally in Chicago by owner and designer Jason Pike. Inspired by pop culture, vintage quirk, and timeless style, fans describe the jewelry line as “post-punk fabulosity” and “retro-future glam”. High-quality materials, vintage chain, industrial and precious metals, gemstones, crystal, and glass are all unique components in LNF line.

“The goal is to create bold and versatile statement pieces, mostly one of a kind, that transition easily from day to night,” said Pike when describing the line. “I consider jewelry to be a transformational tool – something men and women can use to temporarily take on new personas or express different facets of their personalities – that’s entirely fluid and ephemeral.

Fans can also see the line live at Squasht by Les and many of the Chicago jewelry and craft fairs around the greater Chicagoland area. Pike is also looking to get the collection in local Chicago boutiques. Prices for the new collection are between $45-$135. You can see this and a lot more at ShopLadNamedFelix.com!

Would you like to win the fabulous necklace pictured above? Of course you do! What do you have to do to win? Simply submit your name and email address on the form below* and we will pick one winner at random** on Wednesday, November 2nd at 6pm CST. The winner will be contacted via email and announced on Twitter and our Facebook page. U.S. residents only.
