Show Me Some Leg! Tights and Leggings at Duane Reade #CBias #DRLegwear

November 27, 2012 Uncategorized No comments

Duane Reade pharmacy has an awesome selection of legwear. Yes, seriously. They are manufactured by the same company that makes legwear for high end clients like Nordstroms.

At Duane Reade, you can get DR branded stockings, tights, socks, and leggings from $6.99 to $17.99 (for leggings!).

My legs are happy, they look awesome in DR Legwear. Frugal fashion? Win Win!

I was wearing DR Legwear when I went to Duane Reade a few weeks ago to shoot a video promo for the Show Us Some Leg Duane Reade Facebook Contest.

See my legs:

I Met Jozsef Major At The 2012 NYC Ironman Competition #DRIronman #CBias #SocialFabric

Last week, New York City hosted its first ever Ironman race! 

An Ironman Triathlon is one of a series of long-distance triathlon races organized by the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) consisting of a 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.25 km) bike and a marathon 26.2-mile (42.2 km) run, raced in that order and without a break. -Wikipedia

The race was met with great excitement, and competitor’s slots were sold out in less than 8 minutes after registration went live.

I was told that over 1400 of the competitors were first time Ironman entrants!

In this 2012 Ironman competition, Duane Reade pharmacy was the title sponsor of the “Ironman
Village” and the sponsor of Jozsef Major, a competitor in the race.

I went to the Ironman Village at Pier 92, W. 52nd Street and had the opportunity to interview Jozsef Major, who has been doing triathalons for 20 years, 8 years of that as a professional!

IMG 0174IMG 0154

In the past 8 years, Jozsef Major has competed in 31 Ironmans. Holy moly!

Jozsef had been training in Connecticut in the month leading up to the Ironman race, and on the weekends, he actually visited the actual ironman race route in NYC to practice the running portion.

He said that the running route was particularly challenging, and that the swim portion was supposed to be “easy”, though swimming is the part of the race in which he is least confident.

When asked for advice to young triathlete hopefuls, Jozsef Major said that it was important to learn good swimming form.

So, if you give your children a good foundation in swimming, they will have a future advantage in triathlon racing!

For more pictures of my day at the Ironman Village, check out the Google+ photo album I made!

Look for Duane Reade on twitter, Facebook, and YouTube!

Clear Hair Care #DReadeVIP #CBias #SocialFabric

May 31, 2012 Uncategorized 6 comments

I learned something a few days ago…you have to feed your scalp. The foundation of long, strong, healthy looking hair is a well nourished scalp.

Now you know the secret of the fountain of hair youth.

And there is a new shampoo and conditioner in town that aims to nourish your scalp. So there you go. One less thing to worry about.

I went to Duane Reade at 40 Wall Street to shop for Clear Hair Care products.

IMAG1286

I haven’t tried it out yet but it sounds really beneficial…and look how healthy that model’s hair is! I mean really!

IMAG1321

If your scalp is well fed, you won’t have dandruff. So that is how that works.

IMAG1323

The white bottles are the women’s formulas. They have different formulas for different hair and scalp needs.

I went with “Total Care” formula because my hair isn’t especially damaged, in need of being stronger, or dandruffy.

IMAG1287

The men’s formula Clear Hair Care comes in black bottles and is 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner. I’m pretty jealous.

Clear Hair Care has a youtube channel:

    New Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy at @DReade #Dreade #DReadeVIP #cbias

    On Tuesday, May 22, I went to Duane Reade at 40 Wall Street to see a demo for a hair care product from New Clear Scalp and Hair Therapy.

    This is shampoo and conditioner that actually NOURISHES YOUR SCALP. Yes! Its like scalp food.

    So if your kids are begging for a pet, you can be all, “when is the last time you fed your scalp? or took it for a walk?”

    Exactly.

    IMAG1283

    There was a magic Wheel that helped me determine what kind of Clear Scalp and Hair Therapy was right for me…I have a normal scalp (not oily or dry) and frizzy hair.

    They hooked me up with free samples!

    I was told about this event because of my position as a Duane Reade VIP blogger, but it was open to the public, and all opinions are my own!

    My Spring Duane Reader Shopping Expedition #DReade #CBias #DReadeVIP

    April 29, 2012 Uncategorized One comment

    I am a VIP blogger for Duane Reade drug store. One of the first things I learned about when I met the Duane Reade team was a magical publication called the Duane Reader.

    They showed me the fall edition of the Duane Reader and said the spring edition would soon be printed. I was crazy excited! Its like a hip magazine mixed with a treasure map for in store deals!

    You can view an online version of the Duane Reader to see how it inspired my shop!

    When I first got the Duane Reader I was really impressed with the deals it contained. I love deals and couponing, but, to be honest, I find it more difficult to coupon in New York than it was when I lived in Alabama.

    Looking at a circular really helps me to think through what deals I might want when I’m actually in the store. I think planning my trip with a circular lets me get the most bang for my shopping buck!

    Duane Reade really is my go-to store when I’m out and about in New York City. Case in point: I decided one day to walk from 60th street to Union Square. It took a while, and just for fun, every time I saw a natural foods store, I stopped in looking for a particular vegan snack food that I like. EVERY natural foods store I stopped in did NOT have what I was looking for.

    Finally I was so hot, I stopped in a Duane Reade to get a drink. What did I see in Duane Reade? The vegan snack food.

    But, back to the DUANE READER! This is what the Front Page looks like:

    I made a Google + story with all the fun I had scavenger hunting with my spring edition of the Duane Reader in hand!

    IMAG1137

    The Duane Reader is your treasure map to deals! I hunted them all!

    It actually wasn’t a big “challenge” to find things because there was lots of signage and clues that alerted me to where each item was.

    IMAG1126

    Boom! A flattering picture of deLish snack mix, a hot deal in the Duane Reader! Too bad it can’t help my unflattering FatFace in this photo.

    I was excited to find that the Apt. 5 cutting boards I have been coveting are a SUPER BUY right now! Eco-friendly, and budget friendly.

    IMAG1130

    It was hard to not buy ALL of the amazing food deals! I did score some 75% off Easter Candy and Easter  Baskets!
