Get Crackin' with Sally Hansen

It’s officially summer. 

I love seeing the bright colors swamp the streets of New York City.

Girls toting highlighter inspired handbags, and bright bold jewelry.

One of the easiest ways to brighten your look is your nails!

I love wearing neon nails on the weekends, and I am obsessed with the new Crackle Craze!

This past week, Glamour Magazine sent me the Sally HansenCrackle Collection. I decided to bring them into my office, and we are all having so much fun!

Trident Vitality Giveaway!

Jessi Marquez Blowing bubbles!

Today I received a wonderful surprise in the mail! From time to time Glamour Magazine will have me test products or host events. I've had the opportunity to be in a Reebok Ad, host a Canon Camera party, score a free pair of uggs...and the list goes on! Today a box arrived in the mail and I saw the Glamour sticker affixed to the outside. I couldn't open the box quick enough!

Inside were packs of the newest Trident product:Trident Vitality!

I quickly opened the package called "Vigorate" and started popping bubbles. I gotta admit...this gum is pretty awesome! Not only does the gum look sophisticated (comes in a nice little box) but it offers more than just fresh breath.

Flavors:

• Vigorate – A burst of citrus and strawberry with Vitamin C.  One piece of Trident Vitality Vigorate contains 10% of the Daily Value of Vitamin C.
• Rejuve – A refreshing blend of luscious mint and white tea.
• Awaken – A peppy peppermint with a dash of ginseng.

This gum is set to be released in February. However, with so many freebies...I want to share with my readers. The first 5 people to email asgoodasitsguests@gmail.com will receive a free pack of gum to test out!

Most memorable moments of Glamours Women of the Year awards

Glamours Women of the Year awards was one of the most inspirational nights

Last night I had the honor to help out at the Glamour Magazine Women of the Year awards. It was one of the most inspirational nights of my life. The entire audience clapped and cried during the speeches of these amazing women.

Even for a venue as grand as New York's Carnegie Hall, there was a pretty dazzling concentration of star power at Glamour magazine's Women of the Year awards.

Pop star Rihanna was there, in the most body-hugging of gowns.

Tennis star Serena Williams was there, too, in a bright red, one-shoulder number. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones were presenters; so were Katie Couric and former President Bill Clinton.

And there were not one but three Beatle wives.

But the biggest ovation at Monday evening's award ceremony went to the 81-year-old poet Maya Angelou, whose soaring words on the power of womanhood brought many to tears and nearly everyone to their feet.

Women, Angelou told the crowd in her speech, "are rainbows in the clouds."

"I am grateful to be a woman," said Angelou, who won the lifetime achievement award. "I must have done something great in another life." As for the men: "You have to write your own poem," the poet said to laughter, including from Clinton, the man who had called upon her to recite poetry at his inauguration.

The annual Glamour Women of the Year awards always honor a group of eclectic women, and this year was no exception.

One of the evening's most emotional moments was the award to pediatrician Jane Aronson, who works to better the lives of orphans overseas and founded the Worldwide Orphans Foundation.

She was in tears after Couric introduced her, even more so when surprised onstage by a group of her "kids," children from foreign countries, now adopted by American families.

"You know I've never had a surprise party," she said. "Until tonight."

She got a standing ovation, as did the Iranian women of the One Million Signatures Campaign, introduced by CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour. The women are working toward gender equality in Iran.

Model Iman, who presented Rihanna's award, referred to the singer's ordeal early this year, when she was assaulted by boyfriend and fellow singer Chris Brown. Rihanna initially returned to Brown but said last week that she regrets it, because it sent the wrong message to her fans. Brown has pleaded guilty to felony assault.

"Now I am even more impressed with her dignity and courage," Iman said, noting that Rihanna would serve as a role model to victims of domestic violence.

Other honorees recently in the headlines were Laura Ling and Euna Lee, the American TV journalists who were arrested in North Korea and sentenced to 12 years hard labor after briefly crossing the border from China.

They were pardoned in early August after a trip to Pyongyang by Clinton, who also mentioned the ordeal in his remarks, calling the day of their release one of the happiest of his life.

Also honored was fashion designer Stella McCartney. Her dad, Paul McCartney, wasn't there, but Stella was shocked to see three Beatle wives presenting her award: Yoko Ono, widow of John Lennon; Olivia Harrison, widow of George; and Ringo Starr's wife, Barbara Starkey. ( read more here)
