Thred UP! Fabulous...


The Problem

Did you know that kids grow out of a set of new clothes every 6 months? That by age 17, kids have outgrown over 1,300 items and parents have spent nearly $20,000 on their clothing? Kids are expensive and they grow fast! Yet one of the most valuable things any kid has – clothing – typically gets given away when it’s outgrown because no great option exists to swap out the old for the new.



We also know that coordinating clothing swaps is hard – especially among your closest friends who live all over the place. Getting parents together and getting all the sizes right is always a challenge. Hand-me-downs always leave someone empty handed!



What is thredUP kids?

thredUP is where America’s busiest parents exchange boxes of clothes that no longer fit their kids for stylish ones that will. We coordinate swaps among a group of your closest friends or connect you with thousands of families nationwide. There’s no bidding, no auction lots, no rifling through consignment racks, and absolutely no trips to the post office. All swaps are done online, with scheduled home pick-up and delivery. thredUP is the next generation of swapping - a kids clothing revolution!



So what can I do on thredUP? Pick. Pay. Prepare and Send.

· Pick a box of gently used clothes you’d love to receive for your child.

· Pay for shipping

· Prepare and list a box of clothes your child has outgrown

· When someone picks your box, send it free of charge (we even have the Postal Service pick-up the box at your house).



We manage the quality control and review process and take care of all the details to make sure you get a quality exchange.



thredUP is green

Americans discard two quadrillion pounds (that’s a two with fifteen zeros!) of used clothes and textiles into landfills each year. thredUP lets you GO GREEN by swapping with like-minded moms and dads. By sharing what we already have, parents can make a huge step towards sustainability. Create a “thredbank” – the place for kids to save outgrown clothes to exchange when the time is right. thredUP allows you to teach your kids the importance of green living and lighten your family's overall eco-footprint.

See what SHEWANTS???

Oh MY! Is all I can say... This is so exciting.How many times do we tell our significant other what we want for Birthdays,Holidays? I think sometimes ESPN is reeling over and over in their brain..Well, "My Fabulous Girlfriends" our prayers have been answered. Check out, Shewants site.
You can create a FREE account and list all of the trinkets you want him or anyone to buy you.. I know every year my mom is stumped on what to buy me, and she always asks and I always say Gift card.. Well no more my friend.. I now will have my own journal page to add items when I think of them..This way everyone is" Happy".. Read below for all the amazing info..Leave a comment and tell me what you think. Will you use this site?? Do tell, I would Love to hear your comments.
SheWants.com is a Girl’s Best Friend
Online gift registry SheWants.com finally gives women a place to ask for what they want

Diamonds are no longer a girl’s best friend--SheWants.com, a user friendly gift registry and wish list, allows women to ask for what they want without limits. Originators Adriana Padilla Mack and Marie Green wanted to create a space where women could dream big and express what they want in life. The idea stemmed from dinner conversations where frustrated females had, once again, received candles or fruitcake from a well meaning gifter. There seemed to be a lack of communication between the gifter and giftee, especially from the male species. Adriana and Marie decided then and there that they would create a website dedicated to the simple proposition: “If you’re going to give her something, then give her what she wants,” and SheWants.com was born.

The concept finally solves the problem women have had for years: how to communicate to the men, family, and friends in their lives what they want to receive. The femme savvy social portal combines several features: SheWants Wish List, SheWants Not, Calendar, and Blog for a unique experience.

Wishing Well - “SheWants Wish List”: One of the first things a SheWants member will create is a wish list. Women can ask for anything they want--a designer pair of heels, a tropical vacation, or even a donation to their favorite charity. The SheWants Wish List also states where to find the dream gift, eliminating the guesswork from giving. According to co-creator Adriana, the idea of the wish list appealed to her because, “If we put our dreams and wishes somewhere, or if we say it, it’s possible.

Things Better Left Ungifted - “She Wants Not”: Saving the world from knick knacks one member at a time, is the SheWants Not list, which allows women to say what they don’t want. The idea is to limit re-gifting and make people look closer at their best friend, neighbor, or significant other. It creates an eco-conscious environment by eliminating wasteful purchases.

Man’s Best Friend - “The Calendar”: This feature eliminates the headaches of men everywhere. Now befuddled boyfriends and harried husbands can not only find out exactly what women want, they can look up anniversaries, birthdays, etc…in the calendar section of her profile. Not just for the men, women can also pre-select a list of friends, family, and significant others whom they would like to send special “nudges” too.

Bite Size Tips - “Blog”: More than a place that simply lists things a woman wants, the site emerges as a helpful friend in the form of a blog. The founders Adriana Padilla Mack and Marie Green will be blogging on ways to keep gifting green, such as the “Gift Card Exchange Party” where women swap gift cards in a paper free environment. There are also blogs by guest and celebrity bloggers writing about fashion, jewelry, marriage, and all aspects of being a stylish female.

Speak Loudly and Carry a Big Beautiful Bag - SheWants.com has created a personalized experience from top to bottom. Upon establishing a free profile, the member embarks on a fun journey of self-expression and self-discovery, as she (perhaps for the first time) actually spells out what she wants.

Who wants to win $100,000???


OLD NAVY LAUNCHES SUPERMODELQUIN SUPER SEARCH CONTEST
Who Will Become The Next SuperModelquin And Take Home $100,000?

SAN FRANCISCO, FEBRUARY 19, 2010 – To build on the momentum of Old Navy’s recent success, Old Navy kicked off a consumer contest and advertising campaign this week that further immerses customers with the lives of the SuperModelquins - a diverse family of custom-made mannequins with gossip column-worthy personalities.

The Super Search contest allows consumers the chance to be molded as the next SuperModelquin and take home $100,000 through a series of online challenges that will test their plastic spokesmannequin skills. Thousands will enter to prove they have the style and stature worthy of the storefront spotlight. Over six weeks, www.oldnavy.com/super will host three super challenges.

In the first challenge, “Pose with the Plastic Pros” (2/16-2/25), contestants prove their plastic by heading into their local Old Navy and taking a photo of themselves with the SuperModelquins and uploading it to the Super Search site (www.oldnavy.com/super). The second challenge, “Moldelquin Makeover,” (3/4-3/14) uses the power of the SuperMolder technology, allowing contestants to build their plastic match to be rated by voters. The third challenge, “Lights, Camera, Plastic” (3/21-4/1) asks contestants to build their own Old Navy commercial and deliver the hilarious punch line to prove that they have what it takes to be plastic.

The supporting advertising campaign, developed in partnership with Crispin, Porter + Bogusky, is designed to help Old Navy’s target customer – a young mom on a budget shopping for herself and her family, further engage with the brand in the unique Old Navy way. It works by inviting customers to share the screen with Old Navy’s SuperModelquins who act as the contest’s judges, knocking points off for blinking, hair movement and other impossibly plastic qualities. With TV spots to promote each challenge, the SuperModelquins will not only plug the brand’s latest fashions, but will ask another contestant to “hand in their stand,” the campaign’s version of reality show rejection. As part of the campaign, on March 5, using SuperMolder technology, the SuperMolder will appear in New York City’s Times Square and customers will be able to display their customized SuperModelquins on the NASDAQ and Reuters boards.

In all stages of the contest, viewers can browse the gallery online at www.oldnavy.com/super and rate their favorites. At the end of each challenge, the contestant with the most points will become the winner of that challenge and advance to the fabulous finals (finalists appear on TV on 5/6). Then all spotlights are on the storefront stage. Who will hand in their stands, and who will be the last mannequin standing? Your votes decide. The winner, announced on 6/3, will be cast in real plastic as the next Old Navy SuperModelquin, appear in TV commercials, and take home $100,000.

Who says shoes can't be rolled???


Love these... Packing drives me crazy... I have tried so many ways to make all my items fit without having to sit on my suitcase to pull that stinking zipper closed.. Well wouldn't you say, the worst thing to pack is shoes? I cringe because they are always the last to go in right? Well This product is Fabulous, FOOTZYROLLS I think a wonderful creation.. Adorable, comfy ballet flats that roll up into a little bag... I received a pair to try and I have to tell you I was afraid that the shape would be weird when rolled out,however that wasn't the case. These shoes are so comfy cozy and perfect for travel... They offer a variety of colors.. When you are planning your next trip and only want to take a few pairs of shoes.. Make sure that you pack an assortment of footzyrolls... They are a casual,comfy style suitable for any feet and occasion.

Banglz Easy ,Everyday Excercise















Founders: Kim Koelle and Annie Ulichney who I met at the Gift show (She has the most amazing body) . OH MY! These two are busy moms. They designed their company because of the craziness we all go thru on a day to day basis when a workout just can't fit into the schedule. This is why Banglz was created . They are comfy and stylish wrist and ankle weighted bands.. You wear them like you would your favorite watch or bracelet. They are the perfect accessory to build strength inside and out. The best thing about these are, you can wear as everyday accessories or use as an added bonus to your workout. Banglz comes in a choice of many different colors and prints.. Great for any outfit. I have to tell you I wore these all around the NY Gift show. My calves were feeling it. I only wore the ones for my ankles. I had so many heavy bags I couldn't add more weight to my upper body. I was wearing them while typing this post but it clearly states not to wear for a long period while on the computer. This product inspired me to get more active. Being a mother I have always put myself last. Well GIRLFRIENDS that time is over. I am ready for a change.. To jump start a routine again.. Can't wait. I was amazed by how many women stopped me at the Gift show to ask what I had on my ankles.. I wished I made commission LOL That is how I really talked up their product. I love them...
OH I almost forgot. You have to also check out their smart slips and skirts..The SMARTSLIP is the exercise superslip that works you out and has an ultra-slim fit all at once! The resistance in this amazing fabric targets the hips, glutes and legs while you walk and move during the day, giving you a lower body workout with each step. LOVE IT!

You can make a difference!




While on vacation I was shopping in little boutiques and came across this amazing bracelet. What caught my eye were all the amazing colored beads and silver spacers. Attached was a card about why the bracelet was made. So here goes. It is called the Mel's Bracelet and it represents an incredible fighter named Mel Simmons who lost her 5 year battle to breast cancer. She was an inspiring mom of two. The Bracelet is to raise money for cancer awareness. This year alone we will lose 40,000 Mom's,Grandmas,Sisters and Daughters to breast cancer. WOW is all I can say. I lost my Sister in Law to the disease. I bought this bracelet for $15 and all the proceeds goes towards the cause. I would love if you would check out the site and learn more about Mel and read her amazing story also purchase one of these for yourself.. http://www.friendsofmel.org/

This I would have to say is One of my Most Fabulous Finds!

Please when you buy one tell them Heather From The Fabulous Finds sent you.
