What Makes You “Uniquely You?” #Trop50 Juice With Tea #Giveaway

May 13, 2012 By 14 Comments

Tropicana Trop50 has grown its line-up with the introduction of Trop50 Juice with Tea - a new line offering fruit juice goodness with 50 percent fewer calories, now with tea!  The refreshingly different juice with tea combinations are made with delicious fruit juices and white and green teas to deliver a great-tasting and nutritious juice beverage.

This spring, to celebrate the launch of Trop50 Juice with Tea, the makers of Trop50 want to know – what makes you refreshingly different?

What makes you uniquely you?

To be honest, I struggled with this question.  Sure I know my strengths, but the truth is in the last few years I have surrounded myself with some of the most amazing people in the World… where my strengths are not as “unique” as they used to be – instead they are all what we have in common.  (sidebar: getting rid of negative, needy people in my life – BEST. DECISION. EVER.)

I am a great Mom – but I am a part of a forum of great Moms.  I am a great Business Owner – but I lead a community of amazing Business Owners.   I am great at making people laugh – but Mike keeps me laughing all day every day.   I am great at motivating and inspiring people – but my personal trainer is great at pushing me in the gym.  I am a great friend – but only because I have the best friends any girl could ever want.

To try and get a little inspiration I tried the new Trop50 with Tea – Raspberry Green Tea juice beverage. (You can see where you can find your own to try with their Product Locator)  I thought nothing could top the Trop50 Red Orange that we have been drinking daily ever since I reviewed it a few months ago – but the Raspberry Green Tea might actually be even better.

Trop50Juice with Tea is a new line of juice beverages that offers fruit juice goodness with 50 percent fewer calories, now with tea! These refreshingly different juice with tea combinations are made with delicious fruit juices and white and green teas to deliver a great-tasting and nutritious juice beverage. Found in the chilled aisle, the line includes Trop50 Peach with White Tea, Trop50 Raspberry with Green Tea, and Trop50 Pear Lychee with White Tea. With 35-40 calories in each 8-ounce glass, they provide a full day’s supply of vitamin C and good source of antioxidant vitamin E.

While sipping on my Raspberry with Green Tea I realized something – the flavors that were in the juice beverage were not necessarily “unique”… it was the way Trop50 has put them together in perfect combination that made this drink better than any other raspberry tea I have tasted.

Sure there are other Raspberry Green Tea flavored drinks – but none that taste QUITE the same as this one.  (And none that taste quite as GOOD as this one.)  It is the way it is all put together into one that makes it unique.

I guess kinda like me.

I have all of the same traits that my circle of friends and family have, but the way I put it all together… that’s what makes me uniquely me.

Planking… Owling… and Teapotting… Oh My!

July 18, 2011 By 13 Comments

A few months ago I started noticing friends of mine posting pictures of themselves “planking” in various locations – from work,  to national landmarks, to airports:

“Planking” – originally called the “laying down game” has been around since 1997 according to Wikipedia.  The popularity has grown Worldwide with names such as”playing dead,” “on one’s belly,” and “facedowns.”

“Planking is described as the practice of lying down flat with arms to the side, to mimic a wooden plank.”   However, this craze has caused many injuries, one man in Australia fell to his death while “planking” on a seventh floor balcony.

Probably in an attempt to create a fad less dangerous, the new craze sweeping the Internet is called “Owling.” Owling, as the Washington Post explains, is “the act of taking a picture while crouching in an owl-like posture.”  And, supposedly, while in a random location. The photo of course then has to be shared – naturally there’s already a Facebook page for owling.

My friend Amy posted her Owling picture yesterday, and someone commented that she should try “tea potting” – that it is easier and “safer” for women…. I am not going to ask what he was trying to insinuate…. but regardless, her daughter quickly hopped to the challenge in this display of an Owling-Teapot….

According to “The Age” – a website out of Australia,  Tea Potting is  “similar to the planking photo fad, but instead of lying face down in interesting places, the subject holds a teapot pose — in reference to the ‘I’m a Little Teapot’ children’s song and dance.” Upon checking the Internet, I discovered that OF COURSE – Tea Potting has IT’S own Facebook page as well.

I find all of these fads to be humorous, and wish for the kind of memory that I would REMEMBER to take pictures of this while out and about!   But there is no doubt I have laughed out loud at a few of these images – especially when I know the Plankers… or Owlees…

So what is the next Internet Sensation going to be….?  Amy says “storking:”
