Sweat It Out in Old Navy Activewear!
Another awesome time spent at one of my favorite stores Old Navy! Crowdtap offered me a sample share where they sent me two coupons, both redeemable for an active wear top and bottom in Old Navy's active wear collection.
I took my teenage daughter for this one because we both have the New Year's Resolution to lose weight and get in shape for 2013. Plus, I know that if she gets the gear with me we have no excuse to workout! I was really thinking when we went in that the workout gear would be upfront and center. It was pretty far back in the store and they did not have a lot of space devoted to it. Still with that being said the selection was good and I loved everything I saw.
I noticed with this selection of workout gear they had, there was a lot of workout shirts. I tried on a few but ended up getting a jacket with the active wear pants. I just felt with it being still a bit chilly around here that the jacket was best because I could layer and stay warm or even wear it by itself because the jacket breaths quite well.
My daughter chose the jacket and active pants, as well, in a really cute grey. Made her look super thin!
Since the great shopping experience I have been browsing the Old Navy site and have found a larger selection online and have purchased a few more outfits. I want to really be able to have no excuses, like, "my workout clothes are dirty" or "I don't have anything to wear". Them excuses are out the door and for 2013, I'm in control of my fitness destiny thanks to Old Navy and Crowdtap !
Being able to try the latest fashions with Old Navy is just a small perk from Crowdtap. I'm a part of Old Navy's Style Council on there and they have fun discussions, sample shares, and I earn points which I can redeem for awesome gift cards for places like Amazon.com. If you love clothes, love giving opinions and love earning gift cards, Crowdtap is an excellent site you should check out!

Global Green USA Green School Makeover Competition Presented by Pureology
I was just alerted today, by Influenster that Pureology is having a Global Green USA Green School Makeover Competition. This is wonderful because winning would mean changing schools for the better and teaching our kids that we care about them and their education. I encourage everyone to enter for their kids school or even just a school in your area that could use it.
You might ask WHY GREEN SCHOOLS?
WEll...
Improved student performance. When children learn in classrooms with natural daylight, improved sound quality and non-toxic building materials such as non-VOC carpets and paints, test scores can improve as much as 20%. Attendance also improves!
More funds for student resources. When green upgrades are made to a school, water and energy costs can be reduced by as much as 40%. These savings can be channeled back into resources that directly benefit students, such as textbooks, computers and other essentials.
Reduced carbon footprint. Greening a school significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming.
The Pureology site has wonderful ideas for your school like:
-Create a recycling program
-Conduct an energy audit to determine ways energy can be saved
-Install solar shades to improve natural daylighting of classrooms
-Switch to green cleaning products
-Install energy-efficient light bulbs
-Use sustainable building materials, such as bamboo flooring and recycled runner gym mats
-Replace outdated or unsafe carpets and other materials with new, non-toxic ones
Just click HERE and enter! When a school goes green, children benefit—as well as the environment! Don't hold back - on this opportunity to help our children and environment with your power of just entering!

Lazoo Giveaway ends 01-31-13
Lazoo is a quality-conscious lifestyle children’s brand and media property emphasizing award-winning design, creativity, and play. Inspired by an internationally best-selling series of Japanese children’s books, Lazoo products all embody the same core mission: to foster a child’s creative process, encourage self-expression and empower the imagination.
When we enter the world of Lazoo, we enter the realm of a child's imagination, a place of endless possibility where cars race across tree branches, mermaids teach dinosaurs to sing, and ghosts host fashion shows. In this world, kids are encouraged to think independently; "coloring outside the lines" is celebrated and all types of creative self–expression are honoured.
As mentioned priorely, Lazoo is not only about clothes and toys, but extremely interactive and colourful apps as well. Squiggles and Let's Color are two apps where the little ones are invited to draw with the use of their finger on very magical and fun drawing pages. With the hit of the go! button, they can then watch their masterpiece come to life on the screen! "Squiggles!" is based on Lazoo’s “Hands On! Mind On!” curriculum, developed in conjunction with top educational experts. Lazoo apps are designed to:
Besides the fact that they are entertaining, they are also very educative. Briefly, the apps offer the child 14 unique "living" drawing pages where the drawing palette includes stickering, chalk, mystery tool, ketchup tool and more! The apps include a gallery where the masterpieces can be saved preciously, or the option of sharing to friends and family by email, Facebook, Twitter, Lazoo community, or simply printing. Squiggles includes an amazing interactive storybook and animated short featuring Lazoo's adorable characters, Bobu and Miku, who model creative thinking and encourage children to use their imaginations and color outside the lines.
The Lazoo apps review by S.O.S. Mom: "Squiggles and Let's Color must be two of the coolest apps I have come across since I have been a connected mom. As a mother who knows her son, I can tell when he is really passionate about something. The Lazoo apps are definitely on that list! The apps' interactiveness is incredible and the colours highly inviting. The apps are built and designed with a high level of ingenuity and thoughtfulness and are an amazing tool to build and explore the true potential of a child's confidence and creativeness. Allowing children to use their finger as a tool to create whatever their imagination throws their way is fabulous. My son loves to switch between the different colouring pages and doodle away and then see it come to life as he presses the go! button. As he chooses a drawing page, the app invites him to a specific task, for example to draw some spaghetti on a plate or smoke coming out of rockets. Okay so, my son doesn't really draw spaghetti on a plate or smoke coming out of rockets... he's only 21 months-old! But he has all the fun in the world seeing colours appear as his finger runs across the screen. He has a real blast seeing little images appear as he taps the screen using the stickering tool! This app really captivates him and helps him to practice and develop his dexterity, creativeness and imagination. But I think that is really, what is the most important, that he gets to grow those skills and learn while having fun. As a parent, I just want to ensure that my son grows from interacting with an app. Lazoo Squiggles and Let's Color gets my two thumbs up and a well deserved 10/10."
You can connect with Lazoo via their website, Facebook page, Twitter profile or Pinterest profile.
And of course, there is a giveaway involved! Thanks to Lazoo, S.O.S. Mom and Real Momma, two winners will each win their choice of Lazoo clothing between the following. The event will take place until December 31st and is open to all US residents. Each item retails for $25. To enter for your chance to win, simply fill out the form below.
