This week's Lucky Ducks...

And #BlogHer12 is officially over! I'm officially exhausted! Have you heard it's going to be in Chicago, IL next year! This has been a crazy week starting from Healthminder Day and ending with lots of great new/old blogger friends, connections, and experiences. That'll all come with a later post but I suppose you're all curious at who our latest winners are, right?

A fun way to pack lunch with #Rubbermaid #LunchBlox #Review

Rubbermaid

Rubbermaid is quite clever. In fact, they now have the Rubbermaid LunchBlox Sandwich kit that helps you to save space and keep organized. I would even venture to say that it'd be great for back to school or even for office workers who pack their own lunches. It's colorful, cute and fun...so suitable for me!

#ChickenSoup for the Soul: Say Hello to a Better Body #Review

Chicken Soup
Don't you love how summer always brings more health and fitness related everything? One of them is another Chicken Soup book, the Say Hello to a Better Body book. It's meant to be a weight loss and fitness guide for women over 50. What does that mean? Even though you're aging and may be over 50, that does not mean you can't look fabulous! I actually find that I'm liking these smaller Chicken Soup Advice books. They're quite refreshing.

Keeping my #tech going at #Conferences -#NewTrent #Review

Did I ever announce that I was going to #BlogHer12? Or did life just get too busy? LOL, anyways, with a big conference like BlogHer, I was worried about my tech gadgets! The last conference I went to, I juggled my laptop, my iPad, my iPhone, and a point and shoot camera. I had everything just in case the battery died on one of them. Well, even after charging everything during the night, something would still inevitably run out of batteries the next day. Then, there was also the problem of my iPad2. I love it but it's a little hard to type on the screen. I can do it but it's a lot slower than if I was on a regular sized keyboard. I decided to do something about it for BlogHer. After all, it is one of the biggest conferences for women bloggers out there!

#NYC #Foodie Experiences -#GordonRamsay at The London NYC #TheLondonLadies

wine cooler
This past week was a bit of a blur for me with all the pre-BlogHer craziness. However, there was an afternoon where the world finally slowed down a bit and allowed me to relax. Honored to be a part of the #TheLondonLadies event, I found myself in the city, stepping into The London NYC on a scorching summer's day. The moment I stepped in, I felt as if I had been whisked off to a different place, a bit like Dorothy when she was swept up from Kansas. Greeted by our wonderful hostess, we were brought into the restaurant where special cold cocktails were served. For those of you who don't know, The London NYC is home to two of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants although, they're kind of in the same area. In the inner room is Gordon Ramsay at the London, the Michelin 2 star restaurant. The outer area serves as Maze by Gordon Ramsay, a more informal dining area. Both of these and the hotel's room service are served by menus overseen by Gordon Ramsay, who was last at the restaurant a week prior to concoct the new menu.
