Heather and Tiffany from SITS.. What a chat..

Hello Girlie's

I had the honor to interview the girls over at SITS. Heather and Tiffany answered the questions I asked. Some answers make you smile and others laugh.. Enjoy!

1.How did the two of you meet?- We met as neighbors, and became fast friends over our love for thrift shops, decor and anything pink!

2.When did you decide to create Sits? In the Spring of 2008, we were talking about how hard it was to find new blogs, and really wanted more a of a site where bloggers where celebrated and given a chance to be featured, based on participation instead of content was something we couldn't find, so SITS was born!

3.How did you come up with the name? "The Secret is in the Sauce" came from Heather- the minute she said it, we loved it. "The Secret to Success is Support!"

4.What was the reason you created Sits? "We wanted a space where bloggers could find one another. A wholesome, supportive, drama-free environment, where every woman can have her chance!"

5.When did you start doing sitscation? October 2009 was our first ever SITScation. Our members really wanted to get together and we thought Las Vegas would be fun- and it was! We plan on SITScation annually, and will be releasing information about our one day "Blogging Boot Camp" conferences coming to Baltimore, Phoenix and San Francisco in 2010!

Tiffany:

1.What are your likes? Family, relaxing vacations, any show on Bravo, good books, good friends, good food.

2.What are your dislikes? Rude people, hypocrites, injustice.

3.What do you look for when picking a blog to write about? The great thing about SITS is that everyone who participates gets a chance to be featured!

4.Do you have any children? If so, how many. I have a nine year old boy who cracks me up daily.

5.If you could accomplish one thing in life what would it be? Live authentically

6.What makes you smile? Fat, happy babies. My son's laughter. My husband walking in the room.

7.What makes you sad? The Twilight movie- {I expected so much more.} Women tearing each other down.

8.What obstacles have you had to face in life? I have been incredible blessed to achieve my goals with hard work. I suffered with hyperemesis during my pregnancy, which was the most difficult year of my life.

9.Who has made an impact in your life? My husband. My son. My friends. I find women everywhere inspiring!

10.What advice would you give women to steer clear of when blogging? Engaging in gossip and negativity. Also, be sure of who you are- please yourself first!

Shecky's Girls Night Out Event (Review)

Good morning to all you Fabulous women out there. Last night I went to New York. I was there to review a Girl's night out event put on by Shecky's an online and event destination for the up and coming trendy products in fashion and beauty. I arrived to find a little chaos. I suggest that if you attending any of there events to go early. The line was formed around the building. I was lucky to not have to wait. I walked around to see the vendors. There was an assortment of Jewelry,skin care,wigs,teeth whitening,eye lash extensions,hair curling systems. What I did notice is how the women were reacting to the free drinks. There wasn't any food other than sandwiches that you had to purchase and cupcake samples. The vendors that had demonstrations such as jewelry cleaning were cleaning rings but getting very little sales. I found the event to be fun if you wanted a night out with friends have some cocktails and shop. I was overwhelmed by the amount of Jewelry booths. A lot of repeats. There were a few things I found to be fabulous.

1. Soy Delicious moisturizing candles

2. Cupcake Stop

3. Fotini Designs

4. Bath by Riley

I will touch base on these companies more in other posts when I have product to offer.

All in all the night was fun. The place was hopping. The Dj keep the vibe alive and the drinks never stop pouring. The Goody bags were filled with some good products and coupons. Go to there site check out to see when they will be in a city near you. Grab a couple of friends and have a "Girl's Nigh out" with Shecky's.. If you attend an event please let me know. I would love your feedback.

NYC here I come!

Today I head off to NYC. I am reviewing a Girl's night out event and can't wait to get back and share all the details with you. I love New York this time of year. I am going to hit all the little chotchkie jewelry shops.. MY old stomping ground when I had my accessories business. I won't be able to spread the Love for a product but I will spread the love to all of you.. TGIF enjoy have a nice dinner tonight. Make a fun meal for your kids.( Mine will be with my husband enjoying a soccer game) Drink a glass of wine or get really crazy and have a martini ,my Fav.. Enjoy your day.. The weekend is near, kick up your heels and enjoy..

Ellis Paul a must listen..

This review began after a friend asked me to listen to this guys music. His name Ellis Paul.. Folk singer with a lot of soul. I agreed and placed the CD in my player ( The Day After Everything Changed). I have to say, I loved the sound of his voice. The creative flow of the words got to me. My favorite song River Road.. Love it. I love that I can visualize what he is singing.. Lyrically I was hooked. I am always listening to alternative,pop and other mixes.. This was such a cleanse to actually understand the words being sung. Ellis Paul travels all over to spread his voice to many,many ears. I would say a true joy to listen to. Ellis Paul Has also created a children's CD. I have 3 kids and they loved it.. It's one of their Favs to listen to in the car.

Ellis began writing children's songs primarily for his two daughters who were 3 and 1 at the time. After the birth of his second daughter, he took off 6 weeks from the road, which is the longest he had been of the road in 18 years of touring.
His goal was to write songs that have messages he wanted to pass on to his daughters. Also, after hearing too much Barney, it was important that he write songs that parents would enjoy listening to over and over again. Ellis' adult fans that do not have children own and listen to this album! This album won Parents choice award..A new CD will be released in 2010.

Ellis is now working with his Best friend Kristain Bush from the Grammy Award winning country duo Sugarland. Here is a free download for a song on his new album 'The Day Everything Changed'. www.nimbitmusic.com/ellispaul Ellis Paul has 15 albums and has been on the road touring for over 20 years. I hope you will love his music. Contemporary Folk.. Amazing. I am so glad I gave it a listen.. A new found friend.
