For the past few weeks, our team have been fortunate to work with EQAL, Digitas and Kraft on the Real Women of Philadelphia project, hosted by Paula Deen.
The statistical results of this campaign has been phenomenal. From our recent press release, here are just a few stats to consider:
- ~ 10 million views of initial YouTube ad
- 750,000 visitors to Real Women of Philadelphia Website
- 16,300+ passionate evangelists
- 5,000+ videos uploaded by the community
- 2 million+ fans watched the videos
- ~ 200,000 unique visitors per month
But the best is yet to come! Sunday we fly to Savannah, GA for the live streamed finale which will be Wedneday, June 39 at 8 ET (watch it here: http://www.realwomenofphiladelphia.com/rwoplive)
I cannot wait to meet the women of this community. But I also can’t wait to meet Paula Deen. She is one of my favorite chefs and personalities. I really, really hope she sees how skinny I am and feels the need to feed me. Feed me, Paula!
So as you may know, Pauly Shore is a client of mine. Today he asked a question on Facebook that even I had to answer - which PS movie do you like better: Son In Law or In the Army Now.
Being from Poteau, Oklahoma, I LOVED Son in Law - the movie made me think of my life after I left our tiny town to attend UCLA. 
Do you have a favorite?
I should set this scene properly. I live in a house of nerd. Me, always online, always reading the latest and greatest news, tweeting, updating Facebook or whatever. I start reading at 6 AM and I probably end around midnight each night. CTO, always online solving other people’s technology issues, using high bandwidth and is the only person who can make FIOS slow with his work. In short, we are completely tied to the web for 18 hours a day and more often than not, we need web access via a computer.
So… what could go wrong in this picture.
We are moving. We are moving away from our fabulous FIOS and moving back to normal speed land. (Sigh). We are moving right now. And guess what, our new Internet access does not begin until the middle of next week.
I seriously thought I was going to lose my mind when I heard this? After all, my job actually depends on web access. And don’t get me started with CTO. The T stands for technology! I didn’t know what we were going to do, other than me moving into my office and well, CTO moving into co-loft…
And then Verizon’s LG Revolution stepped in to save us.
When I agreed to try out and then write about the LG Revolution I didn’t even know I was moving. I agreed before I knew there was to be no more FIOS in my future. Before I knew that the Internet would not be up until a week after we moved. Before I knew just how precarious my relationship with the CTO would be if you removed web access from our daily lives.
So how did the LG Revolution save us? Four beautiful words that I learned last night in my training session. 4G Mobile HotSpot.
Yes folks, my LG Revolution comes with a mobile hotspot that will power up to 8 laptops at one time.
And the 4G Mobile HotSpot was so easy to set up! All I had to create a user name and a password and within minutes, every laptop in our house has wireless. I can’t believe it. Not only are we fully wired again, but we’re not limited to one computer AND we are on 4G.
Are there downsides? A couple, maybe. The battery drains faster when you use the hot spot, but we just keep it plugged in. I am also curious about is the amount of data consumed with this service since switching to Verizon would mean no unlimited data plan.
Am I going to switch to the LG Revolution? I am not sure, but I will say this phone has changed the way I view what I used to call a smartphone. And the photo abilities are phenomenal. Seriously people, if you haven’t gotten a new phone in the last year, you should go look and see what’s out there, including the LG Revolution.
This is a sponsored post. While Verizon LG Revolution provided me the phone that inspired this post, everything in this is my opinion. Thanks
I was delighted to find that H&M’s leggings came in a variety of lengths including… 34” inseams! Ok fine, so that is still a tad bit too short, but when it comes to leggings, ankle length is passable. Regardless, loved them so much, I bought two pairs (dark denim and black) and haven’t stopped wearing them since.
Pros: soft fabric, tight fight, stretch but they haven’t stretched out (yet), only $25 per pair.
Cons: still slightly too short for my tall frame, but you can’t really blame the pants for that… right?
I have been pairing these pants with a range of loose fit tops and sweaters.
Check the leggings out here and let me know what you would wear with them!
