Frito-Lay will be sharing all kinds of fun facts about their chips as a sponsor of the SocialLuxe Lounge party, coming up in less than 2 weeks. Turn the bag around and you may be surprised to learn a few good things about your favorite Frito-Lay snack chips.

Did you know Frito-Lay chips…

  • Are made with simple ingredients
  • Potatoes or corn
  • Healthier oils, such as sunflower and corn oil
  • Sprinkling of salt
  • Seasonings are added to some products to create a unique flavor
  • Have a moderate amount of sodium, comparable to other foods such as white bread and crackers

With at least 50 percent less sodium per one ounce serving than our original counterparts, Frito-Lay’s Lightly Salted varieties provide consumers concerned about sodium with lower sodium options.

We also provide important nutrients such as vitamin C and potassium, which are inherent to potatoes, and vitamin E, which comes from the oils.

And moderation is always key. Look for smaller servings, bag up your own servings in baggies or containers, or find their 100 calorie packs.

There will be lots of snack chips at the party, so come ready to mix, mingle, and munch with Frito-Lay!

It's summer and hopefully you're able to hit the beach! If so, Stride Rite, one of our fabulous sponsors, has the perfect shoes for your little ones. There are great styles for girls and boys, even itty bitty baby ones, perfect for sand and surf!

Or maybe this summer you'll be hitting up some good amusement parks. Then you'll want the classic walking shoes from back in the day, Keds! Did you own a pair? I had like 4 different styles. I loved being able to switch out the laces. Or I even had some of the classic white Keds and created my own designs on them. Ahh, memories!

What style of shoe will you be using to aid your family in a Summer of FUN?

We're all wearing it, even if we're not always talking about it, right?  Shapewear.  There's nothing wrong with it, shapewear doesn't need to be a dirty little secret, in fact Yummie Tummie makes it kind of hot.  Sexy, even.

Who knew you could have the best of both worlds?

Yummie Tummie designer Heather Thomson has a background in the fashion industry and has brought that history into making gorgeous shapewear.  You heard me, gorgeous.

Heather's going to be at SocialLuxe at the Get Runway Ready station to help you get yummie for the weekend.  Come to the Yummie Tummie Get Runway Ready station at the SocialLuxe Lounge, try on Yummie Tummie in person, and see just what a fox you are in shapewear.

I'll have some on, and it's not even a secret.

So you're thinking "What does Avery have to do with getting primped and pampered at SocialLuxe Lounge?", but let me ask you this:

Is there anything more sexy than being organized?

Avery

I don't think so.

I'm an organization fiend.  Being organized top to bottom makes my heart sing a happy little song, leaving me plenty of time and energy to get beautiful.  Avery makes it possible to keep all the categories of your life note tabbed and orderly so you can get on with the good stuff, the pampering stuff.  I mean after all we're bloggers, CEO's of our brands, and we need to have our home offices and family lives intact as we proceed into the depths of getting gorgeous.

note tabs

And if you don't mind me saying so, there's something a little bit foxy about organizational products.

Just you wait to see what Avery has in store for you at this years' SocialLuxe Lounge.  You might need to bring your smelling salts.

We're thrilled to have Avery as our title sponsor for the 2010 SocialLuxe Lounge par-tay!

You might wonder how an office supply company is going to help you get primped and pampered, but you just wait! They're going to have you so relaxed and ready for the conference weekend. They are putting together their own Survival Goodie Bag, helping make sure you have what you need to make it through each day of the Blogher conference. It's all about getting organized and being prepared!

Thanks again to Avery for helping make our party the fabulous success it's going to be. We can't wait for August 5th!
