Pamper, Polish, Primp, and PARTY with influential bloggers!

I scream, You scream, We all scream for Ice Cream!

Are you getting as excited as we are for Thursday?!! We are moments away for The Slow Churned SocialLuxe Lounge! As you know, we've got The Slow Churned team gearing up as our title sponsor. They are ready to bring you the All-American treat as we give a smile to charity!

Look at all these cute little cups! This is a little of what it will look like in the freezer at the party. So. Much. Ice Cream!!

Some of you may know this Slow Churned goodness as Edy's and some of you as Dreyer's. I was getting a little confused myself. But if you live west of the Rockies, you know it as Dreyer's. East of the Rockies is Edy's. But for the fun of our party, we're all about The Slow Churned!!

And as you probably already know, cuz' it's awesome, Dreyer’s Slow Churned Light Ice Cream is made with all the rich and creamy taste of regular ice cream, but with half the fat and 1/3 fewer calories! Yippee!

Dreyer’s Slow Churned is partnering with Brooke Burke this summer to give away more than 25,000 scoops of ice cream and a “Reason to Smile”. Every smile captured or uploaded to the brand’s Facebook page will generate a $5 donation to Operation Smile – from too good, to do good, this summer, you really can have it all.

We'd also like to encourage you party goers to upload photos on your own to help increase the donations. While at the party, and eating yummy ice cream, we'll have photo booths for you to take pictures and those will be added to the smile campaign. But we'd also LOVE to have you upload your own photos to facebook and twitter as you scream for ice cream. So get your smiles ready!

You know those moments of distress when something is spilled on the carpet, probably white carpet at that. You might get out the rags and try your best to get it up, but you just know it's going to stay there ForEVer. And then you're stuck either

covering it up or replacing it?!

Well, not anymore. In comes another one of our fabulous party sponsors to the rescue. BISSELL is here to help.

Jill Zarin of Real Housewives of New York City fame will kick off a fun, interactive simulation of the spots and stains us real housewives often face. You can keep your cleaning routine classy and your manicure glossy.

• SpotBot has pre-set cycles so you can clean up set in stains (before guests arrive for a party) or after (clean up spilled drink stains)

- Easy to use:

• Small and compact; can be stored easily in a closet or pantry so it’s ready to go whenever messes occur; simply fill the tank with formula, select the type of stain and you’re ready to go at the press of a button

  To clean furniture, use the hose attachment and trigger spray to manually apply solution and scrub gently
