Could you use a $200 Visa Gift Card?



Remember when I shared my 'My Not So Dirty Little Conference Secret!'? Conferences are usually super long hours and require a lot of stamina. As I don't drink coffee or tea, and when I do drink soda, it's the caffeine free version, during Conferences, Red-Eye Flights and those days where work requires me to be 'on-point' for more hours than I'm used to, I rely on 5-hour ENERGY®   I met their street team last year where they were handing out samples on the way in to the convention center. I ended up trying one of them that same day and since then it's the only energy product I personally buy and continue to use.

I get great results with them, it takes effect relatively quickly, lasts as promised, I don't get jitters or nervous and I have never experienced a crash with it later. Where as with Soda sometimes I do!

Another thing I really love about 5-hour ENERGY® is that they really want to be YOUR number one choice when reaching for an Energy Product, enough so, that they want to check in and see how YOU feel about 5-hour ENERGY®!

5-hour ENERGY® in conjuntion with our friends at Smiley360, are offering you the chance to win a $200 Visa Gift Card (and who couldn't use that right about now?), just for completing a super short survey to share your opinions!

I don't know about you, but I'm thinking that would pretty much cover Halloween costs, or make for a great head start for holiday shopping!

And while you are here, don't forget to enter our Nicole Miller 'Addison' Designer Handbag Giveaway (ARV $295), this bicycle chain crossbody bag is a true stunner!

Go Ahead Butterfly, Tell them what you think and gain entry to win a $200 Visa Gift Card, you've got a lot to gain, and absolutely nothing to lose!

My Not So Dirty Little Conference Secret!



Last year on my way to the endless maze that is the Jacob Javitz Convention Center in New York City I ran into a street team passing out 5-hour ENERGY® Samples. They were energetic, enthusiastic and all around nice, so how I could refuse them right?

I put them in my handbag and almost forgot about them. That is until about 3pm, when I realized I had dashed out the door without breakfast, hadn't drank much water and spent the entire day on my feet and still hadn't had lunch. To say I was exhausted was an under-statement. I remembered the sample, but I hesitated. This is the girl who never even tried that little pill that is phonetically similar to 'slow crows' even when cramming for exams in College when it was very popular. I was afraid of the 'crash' I heard these things can cause and as I avoid caffeine on a daily basis (when I do drink soda, it's caffeine free) I was a bit nervous about trying it.

When I realized I was no closer to food and dead on my feet I gave in, and I tried it. I was pleasantly surprised that I found it be very fast acting. I also made sure I stopped and ate something, and bought extra bottled water to get through the rest of the expo. After the expo I had to stop by the office, and after that an evening event, that day was pretty much an 18 hour day, and 5-hour ENERGY® did give me just that extra boost I needed to get through the day without collapsing from sheer exhaustion!

A few weeks later, I had landed an awesome side job, the problem with that side job is that it started late evening, and ran pretty much through the night and I had to be back at work early in the morning. I reached for my second sample and again it got me through a super long day with no crash and no negative side effects. That awesome side job went so well it became a once a week thing for about a year, needless to say I kept myself in supply of my favorite energy drink!

Now I carry one with me every time I have to visit an Expo or Conference, not just at the Javitz but anywhere. I also bring one with me when I have to fly to the West Coast and especially when I fly international to keep myself from getting too tired when I have to be 'on'. Whether it's a presentation or a client dinner. Honestly, even on a vacation with an over-packed itinerary.

5-hour ENERGY® is the first of it's kind that I tried and it worked well for me so I haven't tried any others, but like they say 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it', right?


What's in 5-hour ENERGY®?

The key ingredients in 5-hour ENERGY® are also available in every day foods – like broccoli, avocados, bananas and apples – or already in you. It contains zero sugar, four calories and as much caffeine as a cup of the leading premium coffee. (and for those like me who restrict their daily caffeine intake, there is also available a Decaf Version)

Why try 5-hour ENERGY®?

  • Quick, simple and effective
  • Fast and easy to consume
  • Zero sugar
  • Zero herbal stimulants
  • 4 calories!
  • B-vitamins and amino acids
  • As much caffeine as a cup of the leading premium coffee
  • Also available in a Decaf version
  • Non carbonated

What it DOESN'T?

5-hour ENERGY® does not cure any disease and/or ailments and does not enhance performance. It should not be drank before going to a club/bar and should not be used with alcohol. In addition, 5-hour ENERGY® is not for children!

My Take

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ  - Individual Results Will Vary, but in MY personal experience, it gave me just the boost that I needed. It was fact-acting in my case, and I did not experience any kind of crash after drinking it. I do NOT drink this daily, I use energy drinks very infrequently probably 1-2 times per month, but when I do use them it's 5-hour ENERGY® for me!

Get Social With It!
