Want to try @Samsung Products BEFORE you buy? The Samsung Galaxy Studio lets you do just that! #vzwbuzz #techtuesday

Samsung Galaxy Studio SoHo New York City

You don't have to be a Blogger or Digital Influencer with millions of followers to get the Royal Treatment when it comes to tech. You want to try BEFORE you buy? Want to live with that new tech toy and really 'road test' it before shelling out your hard-earned cash? While it's certainly not a new concept, Samsung recently launched a consumer trial program at five United States Galaxy Studio Locations, and I recently got a tour of the New York City Samsung Galaxy Studio in SoHo.

What do you get when you a cross a Verizon Sponsored Soccer Viewing Party with a VIP tour of the 130 Prince Street Galaxy Studio? THIS!:

The Samsung Galaxy Studio in SoHo NYC is located at the cross streets shown above!























It was fun to experience the Samsung Galaxy Studio first hand and get a true feel for what a perspective consumer will experience when checking out a device from this specific location to test.

Nothing beats service with a Smile!

I was very impressed with the layout, it has a nice flow that utilizes various stations to give you a feel for the products and a team that will guide you and help you decide which Samsung product is best for your needs and lifestyle.

Drawing come to life!

Capturing your child's imagination doesn't always have to be hi-tech!

Yours truly checking out "Milk Music" an App exclusively available for Samsung Galaxy owners (powered by Slacker) which offers 13M songs, 200+ stations and zero ads for a limited time. I'm using Samsung Headphones and getting an overall Samsung Music Experience with my own tunes (from my Galaxy 3 phone)

I'll share another cool shot of me enjoying the tunes tomorrow for Wordless Wednesday! I haven't downloaded the app yet personally but did enjoy using it while at the Galaxy Studio, once I download and play around with it a bit, I'll come back and share my 'full' take on it.

Is that the word Photo I see on the wall inside the Innovation Lounge? Gotta investigate that!

Cafe at the SoHo Samsung Galaxy Studio


Above: We all know testing tech products can be a thirsty business right? The folks at the Samsung Galaxy Studio know that to be true and they offer a Cafe Station where you can punch in your order for a beverage and get hydrated! 'Hydration on demand' my friends, makes you feel like you are in the Jetsons! I made mine a Coconut Water!

The Trial Program is currently available at the following locations:

  • Dallas-Fort Worth/Frisco, TX: Stonebriar Centre Mall, 2601 Preston Road, Frisco, TX 75034
  • Houston/The Woodlands, TX: The Woodlands Mall, 1201 Lake Woodlands Dr, The Woodlands, TX 77380
  • Los Angeles/Conaga Park, CA: Westfield Topanga, 6600 Topanga Canyon Blvd, Canoga Park, CA 91303
  • New York City: Samsung Galaxy Studio SoHo, 130 Prince Street, NY, NY
  • Santa Clara, CA: Westfield Valley Fair, 2855 Stevens Creek Blvd, Santa Clara, CA 95050

My Take:

The Program is free of charge, however to participate you must provide a refundable credit or debit card deposit during the trial period. Customers will receive a full refund once they return the un-damaged device within the 21 day trial period. Open to all U.S. residents who are 18 years of age and older. You must present valid government issued ID and a valid Credit or Debit Card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express only).

I think it's great you get to truly try before you buy and get ample time to put your loaner device to the test!

OK True Blood, first my Tara, now this? I mean aren't there enough new 'peripheral characters' that could have gone first?

DO AC Sand Sculpting World Cup Atlantic City 2014, #DOACsand
Follow all the Sand Scupting action using the hashtag #DOACsand via twitter























I hope all my butterflies are having a fantastic Fourth of July holiday weekend! I trust all things 'B' are being enjoyed this weekend, Beach and BBQ - what did you think I meant? LOL (and maybe another good 'B', Beer!)

This post is a continuation of my Atlantic City Sampling Experience via Crowdtap! (Check out the first post HERE) I told you Atlantic City has a ton of things to see and do, it's just as family friendly as it is a place for singles like me, one of the activities on my itinerary was the DO AC Sand Sculpting World Cup in Atlantic City.

I took so many hi-res photos I was afraid to break my server so I created a slideshow of the amazing sand sculptures, I even got to meet a few of the sculptors which was pretty neat!

I used Flickr to create this slideshow, but if the slideshow moves too fast for your taste you can check out each photo individually in two places: Flickr - DO AC Sand Sculpting World Cup 2014 as well as on our Pinterest Travel Board (I may create a unique board for these on Pinterest in addition to throwing them into travel, once I do I will come back and update this post with the direct URL).

Which is your Favorite Sand Sculpture in the Slideshow Butterfly?

Whether you chose to #DOAC by day or enjoy #DOACNightlife, you can't go wrong at #AtlanticCity this summer!

#DOACNightlife Bus, Party Bus, Atlantic City, Visit AC, Atlantic City Alliance, DO AC, DO AC Nightlife
#DOACNightlife Bus

I have spent a lot of time the last two weeks visiting one of my favorite places, Atlantic City. Both by night, on an Atlantic City bound Party Bus enjoying the City's Nightlife, and then again by day, exploring great eats, the boardwalk, beach, casinos, pools and more!

And of course when I find something I love I just have to share it!

My visits out there were actually so extensive I am going to split this into multiple posts, and the pictures that didn't make this post you will be able to find on our Pinterest Page on our 'Travel' Pinterest Board. I was trying to make separate boards for each place I visit, but I think it's easier to drop them all in Travel and then just label where each picture was taken!

I boarded the Party Bus above a bit skeptical about how fun Atlantic City Nightlife would be on a Monday night, and I can tell you they don't call it a 'party bus' for nothing my friends, we actually had not one, but three DJ's on board (I would say four technically, but no one knew they had #TheOfficialTwitterPartyDJ on board and I kept that one to myself!), and the 45-foot 'Nightclub-on-Wheels' provided us a curated experience,our own bartender, and a guide to keep the group organized and show us around the city.

We also got to visit the popular night spot Mur Mur at Borgata! But before our group had to depart we had to leave our mark:

I got to return for what was supposed to be an overnight trip, there was a few of us up there and we were assigned to different Casinos, we got Trump Plaza, and I extended my trip and added on a night at Tropicana Hotel and Casino!

Above: I snapped this shot while I was seated, look at the cool reflection in the clouds of this shot (see the people's reflection on the upper right? And a Way to Go to Golden Nugget, that's how clear the glass I was sitting behind actually was!)

My Take:

I had an amazing time on both the DO AC Nightlife Party Bus and my CrowdTap Atlantic City Experience Sampling, so much so that I extended my stay and stayed at Trump Plaza courtesy of CrowdTap, then at Tropicana the next day on my own, there was so much to see and do both by day and by night! I have been visiting Atlantic City pretty much monthly since I turned 21 as there is always something to see and do and it's literally super easy to get there by bus from the City, it has always been one of my favorite 'staycation' destinations and one I always enjoy especially during Summer. If it's been awhile since you've been there, you should definitely check it out, and visit the Do Atlantic City website to check out events and happenings so you can  plan your trip!

There is so much more I got to see and do that I will have to recap this adventure in multiple posts, so consider this an overview, and know there is more to come!

I only let friends peek inside my underwear drawer! {#Review} of @Wantableco June #Intimates Box

Wantable Intimates Subscription Box
Wantable Intimates Subscription Box


Perhaps not a peek at the entire drawer, but how about a share of some new stuff going in it? I have worked with my fair share of intimates/lingerie brands since the inception of my blog, and it's normally my job to curate a 'best of' in any category before I present it to you. One of the things I adore about subscription box services is having someone else do the 'curating' for a change.

I know myself well enough to know that when I shop I tend to already seek out what I know and rarely ever do I deviate from that, which is not a good thing when it comes to the bedroom! That's definitely the one room in the house you DON'T want to get stuck in a rut.

As we all know butterflies to get, you have to give, and to get your Wantable Intimates Subscription Box just right, you do need to provide your measurements, weight, and answer a few questions about your preferences. Super quick, super easy, just remember to be honest or the stuff you get won't fit you properly!

Here is an overview of the box contents:

Inside View of June 2014 Wantable Intimates Subscription Box
So Product Staging isn't exactly my forte, but here is an overview of all the cool products inside the June 2014 Wantable Intimate Subsription Box!

And here is each product individually:

Pucker Up Babydoll and Thong
Pucker Up Babydoll and Thong

One of the highlights of the June Box is this super cute set by Pucker Up, the babydoll and thong with polka dots and girly pink bow accents are playful and perfect for summer. One of the second reasons I wanted to bring this set to your attention is that the folks who curate it, know which brands to size up on if need be, so don't be alarmed if you get items all in one size and one or two items are a different size. To me this is the most important part of what makes this box such a standout. This set runs smaller and they automatically sized it up. The thongs were actually an 'extra' added to the box to complete the set. These are thoughtful touches that you expect when you are hiring a personal shopper, but is a totally pleasant surprise and un-expected touch for a subscription box. And the set itself is sexy in a way that doesn't make you feel un-comfortable which is important!

Rhonda Shear Ahh Angel Seamless Bandeau Bra
Rhonda Shear Ahh Angel Seamless Bandeau Bra


I have no idea how they knew I wanted one of these, but I guess they don't call the box 'Wantable' for nothing right? I was stoked to find the Rhonda Shear Ahh Angel Seamless Bandeau Bra in the box as summer is all about racerbacks and tops with spaghetti straps so a strapless bra is just what I needed, I also have never tried out Rhonda Shear's line before and to me this was a fantastic way to do it! (This one is the color they call "Eucalyptus") These are also super comfortable to sleep in, so I will definitely be going back for more!

yummie by Heather Thomson Sylvie Cami
yummie by Heather Thomson 'Sylvie' Cami in color 'flame'



































The June 2014 Wantable Intimates Box also contained the Sylvie Cami by yummie in the color 'flame', and as I am a huge fan of the color red, needless to say it was love at first sight. But I also wanted to point out that the Sylvie Cami is made with Outlast, which absorbs your body heat, storing it when you are hot and then releasing it when you're cold. With summer heat being super hot outside, and then going into air-conditioned spaces, this cami is definitely a hit for me! While I don't see the 'flame' color still available directly via yummie, they do have the cami on sale currently where you can buy 2 for $29 each and save 15%, which is a pretty sweet deal!

Cynthia Rowley Sock Liners

Cynthia Rowley Sock Liners


There was a 3 pack of Cynthia Rowley Legwear Sock Liners in the box, which is perfect because they are super light weight and perfect for getting your feet into shoes when you don't feel like wearing hosiery. For some reason there are some shoes where you kinda need something to get your foot to slide in them properly but who wants full hosiery during the summer months right? These liners are just the perfect trick!

MY TAKE:

I love that Wantable has a little something for everyone, you can get an Accessories Box, an Intimates Box or a Makeup Box! You can go "Forever" and subscribe for $36 a month or you can opt for a "For Now" which is the purchase of a single box for $40. Note that Subscriptions are shipped automatically each month, but they can be skipped or cancelled at anytime (which makes it great if you are traveling during the summer and won't have anyone home to sign for a package).

And if you get a box and you are not in love? Send your box back for a full refund, no questions asked! Now that is what I call ZERO RISK butterflies! And as no two people are the same, no two boxes are ever the same either, pretty cool right? oh, and did I mention that shipping is free in the United States?

What is your favorite style of intimate wear Butterfly?
