Schick Intuition Plus Kiss & Tell Party at BlogHer '10

I'm traveling, and at BlogHer '10 where I'd love to tell you how I Keep It Simply Smooth (KISS) with Schick Intuition Plus, but I lost my credit card before I went to the airport, so I may not be a credible source about that today!

Other than that little sideshow, when I travel, I try to keep things simple by packing efficiently, and I bring important things in a sturdy carry-on, since there's nothing like your bag breaking in the middle of the terminal!

As for keeping it simply smooth in New York, I've only been here once before, but so far I know you need to wear sensible shoes to get anywhere!

Schick is throwing a Kiss and Tell Party here at BlogHer with a special performance by Gavin DeGraw, music by DJ Mia Moretti with electronic violinist, Caitlin Moe.

Until then, how do you Keep It Simply Smooth?

I am delighted to be working with Schick at the BlogHer 2010 Conference and beyond. I am compensated for my time and advertising, but I bought the razor on my own, and darn if I didn't end up liking it!

Oneida Chef's Table

OneidaChefsTable.jpgOneida as the staid, formal china from your mom's generation, think again.

Oneida has several new lines: Chef's Table, Culinaria, Color Burst, and Tranquility Blue.

I love all-white dishes, and I received some pieces from the Oneida Chef's Table Collection, including this 3 Section Dipping Dish for review.

Not only are they crisp, white dishes, they are interesting shapes, dishwasher and microwave safe and they're also specially designed to be chip-resistant, an important feature when you're at our house!

Even though they're all white, they're not boring, and they look great on their own, or they will compliment your other dishes and give your table a new look and show off your food.

Be sure to check out these as well as all the things Oneida has to offer, and take advantage of their great sales.

No payment or compensation other than the product samples as described above were received for this post.

SONIC's $2.99 Quarter Pound Footlong Coney and gvieaway

soniclogo.jpgEven though summer is on it's way out, it's never to late for SONIC's new and improved Foot Long Coney.

It's a quarter pound hot dog (maybe even enough for 2 people!) smothered in chili and cheese, and it's tasty! I just this moment realized I took the picture of mine below before I put the chili on it, but you get the idea.

You can order it any way you want it: chili, mustard, onions, cheese and more. If you're still hungry after that, SONIC has 99-cent one-topping sundaes made with Real Ice Cream after 8:00 p.m. from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
