Super Star Barbie Tweetstakes!

by savvysassymoms on March 10, 2010

Today is Babie’s 51st Birthday and she doesn’t even look a day over 17! 

The 1977 Barbie was “Superstar Barbie” and just so happens to be the year I was born!  So today as Barbie turns 51 they are also revealing the New 2010 Superstar Barbie!  In Celebration of Barbie’s Birthday and the Re-birth of a SuperStar I am helping host a One Day Tweetstakes!

For a chance to WIN both of these Super Star Barbie’s all you have to do is Re-Tweet the Tweet Below – TODAY!  This Tweetstakes ends at midnight tonight.

Tweet Me: “Win a Superstar Barbie set for #Barbiest Bday! RT and follow @savvysassymoms & @BarbieStyle to enter! Enter by 12 AM EST”

There has yet to be a “Mom” Barbie (because she is only 17)  Maybe it’s time for a  ”Savvy Sassy Mom” Barbie!  She could have a apron that turns into a cape and a diaper Bag that converts into an evening bag!  That’s just my suggestion…

Getting Sassy with Tassi!

by savvysassymoms on March 8, 2010

 
Savvy Sassy LOVES her Tassi!
Tassi keeps hair in place and outta your face!
 

My very good friend Romy Raves gave me this to try out and just by reading the name I knew it had to be Sassy!  The first night I wore it my son did giggled a bit, pointed up and said “Mama, what’s on your head?”  Silly to a 3 yr old, but not to ME or YOU who has tryed pulling their hair back to wash their face, apply a night time mask or even shower without getting our hair wet.  You can also use your Tassi while getting spa treatments, facials, eyebrows waxed and applying makeup!  It’s a very soft terry cloth that won’t flatten, dent or leave creases in your hair. 
Every girl needs a Tassi!

My  Savvy Sassy Suggestions:
Great for Bridal Showers, Bachellorette Parties, Baby Showers, Girls Night Out, Pajama Parties and Swag Bags

Be Savvy, Be Sassy, Go Get a Tassi!

$14.99 and FREE shipping on 2 or more!

Keep Calm and Carry On

by savvysassymoms on March 2, 2010

I know your wondering and I’m sure I must have you on pins and needles….January was all about being Eco-Savvy, February was Fabulous Fitness, and so what is happening in March?  It’s all out Madness!  This month promises to be full of surprises and I am embracing a fly by the seat of my (sassy) pants attitude in hopes to keep you guessing.  With all this madness going on I have chosen a mantra for the month “Keep Calm and Carry On” in hopes that by repeating this over and over should stop by head from spinning and allow me to forge ahead!

If you are not familiar with this phrase it was a propaganda poster produced by the British government in 1939 during the beginning of World War II, but ended up never being used.  It was rediscovered in 2000 and has since been used for a variety of novelty gifts, stationary, posters and decorative items. The designer of the poster is still unknown. 

As moms I think this phrase could probably be used almost daily, if not hourly!  So naturally, I need a T-shirt to express such an attitude. Where do you go to create a custom T-shirt?  Zazzle!   Do you Zazzle?  Have you Zazzled?  Zazzle is a custom, one stop shop and they have everything, no really, EVERYTHING!  You can literally design and create your own T-shirts, Hats, Shoes, Postage, Businees & School Binders, Photo Albums, Coffee Mugs, Business Cards and even Baby Onsies.  

The fantastic people over at Zazzle love their Moms and some of them are Moms so they want to give a $50.00 Gift Certificate to a one of my Savvy Sassy Moms! 

*The winner will create and design their very own custom items and then those items will be will be featured in a follow up Savvy Sassy Blog Post for the World to see! 

So what would you design?  Do you have a favorite quote or funny expression, are you dying to put your kid all over some postage stamps and create grandma a photo album, or let your teen decorate some brand new Keds!  Whatever your creative ability Zazzle will help make it happen and pay for it!

All you need to do is

1.  Visit Zazzle to get inspired and tell us what you want to make!
2.  Re-tweet this creative Giveaway
3.  Follow the razzle, dazzle, @zazzle team!

Have Fun and Get Creative!

Fit Bit

by savvysassymoms on February 23, 2010

Fitness has a New Digital Best Friend!

Look at this little sleek gadget!  I bet you’re wondering what is is? 
It is the Fit Bit and it will not let you get away with anything! 
No more lying girl (not even to yourself)

How many miles did you walk, how many calories did you consume, how many calories did you burn, how much sleep did you get?   Your new best friend the Fit Bit is not afraid to tell you!

You can attach your new best friend to your pants, shirt, undergarmets or in a pocket.  It also comes with a wristband for you to wear while you sleep at night or for those naps you sneak during the day.   The Fitbit Tracker contains a motion sensor like the ones found in the Nintendo Wii. The Tracker senses your motion in three dimensions and converts this into useful information about your daily activities. The Tracker can also measure the intensity and duration of your physical activities, so no more slacking!


So where does all this data go?  It is all kept online in your very oewn personal Fit Bit Account.  Once you log in and create an account you are taken to your very own Fit Bit Dashboard where you log your food, activity, weight and sleep.  Anytime you walk by the included wireless base station, the data from your activity is silently uploaded to Fitbit.com.  So yes, it will literally TELL on YOU!


When logging your food for example; you type in the item you ate, such as Peanut Butter and a menu drops down for you too choose which type of peanut butter, you make your selection, choose the amount you had and all the nutritional content gets recorded!  You can also mark the foods you frequently eat as “favorites”  to make it faster to log as you keep returning to your dashboard.

The website is very easy to naviagate and I was actually having a lot of fun finding the foods I eat and watching the calories, fat grams, and sugar content get added up.  I do not have a Fit Bit and so I cannot attest to the the actual FIt Bit functionality and to wearing one but my best friend lets me get away with way too much so I may just have to spring for one!

I interupt this Fitness Month…for MOM 2.0!

by savvysassymoms on February 17, 2010


I'm Attending The Mom 2.0 Summit

Tomorrow I am flying to Houston, Texas for the Mom 2.0 Summit!  I am BEYOND excited, a little nervous,  hyper, crazed, stoked and just plan Happy!  I will be among some of the Best of the Best Women on the Web and I can honestly say I will probably feel a little like Nemo swimming in a Tank with the Big Fish.  I hesitated buying my ticket for weeks because I thought it was just out of my league, I didn’t want to feel out of place or not experienced enough, I was intimidated just by the line up of speakers!!

But something in me just knew that I had to be there, my intuition kept pulling me to the website and my gut finally said “DO IT, buy the damn ticket and  - GO!!” (well that, and my husband was sick of me talking about it)  I know that I am at a place with my Blog, Business and Life that this is just the type of enviornment I need to be right smack dab in the middle of.   I want this weekend to inspire me, push me, challenge me and teach me. I do not have a partner in crime and so I am flying solo, but I am totally comfortable with that because I love to make new friends!  I found myself a roomate, Esther of faintstarlite.com and I cannot wait to meet her IRL!  I even have 2 new friends meeting me at the airport to share a cab over to the Four Seasons Hotel Joanne at Mediamum.net and Lauren from IsabellaProducts.com

Here are a few more reasons why I am glad
I followed my Gut and bought the damn ticket!

So I’m leaving, on a Jet Plane,
and I don’t know if I’ll come back the same!
