#ad - {Calling All #Fashion Lovers! #GIVEAWAY} Ascending Butterfly is bringing back our "Featured #Handbag In The Spotlight" with a #DesignerHandbag from @claralumeshop and a Valentines Day Themed Twitter Party too! + EXCLUSIVE Discount Code! #ClaraLumé

DISCLOSURE: This is a sponsored post and part of a compensated campaign for Clara Lumé



 

After the major fire I dealt with last year, I have found myself very much in a 'starting over' position. Not exactly a fun place to be. That actually was just one of many challenges on my plate last year. My handbag collection was one of my treasures and having to start that again from scratch feels like an incredibly daunting task. 

I started this empowerment community in 2008, because nothing like it existed at the time. I was looking for empowerment that wasn't necessarily spiritual, I was a long time life coach looking for my own inspiration. I couldn't find it, so I created it. 

'Blogging my way through it' has really been my therapy, and in doing so, I found my tribe. People who wanted a place to turn that was positive. A moment of light. 

With Valentine's Day swiftly approaching, I wanted to find a way to give my butterflies a gift and bring back my all time favorite regular feature! 

I have decided this year I do not want to stick with what I know, I do not want to play it safe, it is time to turn heads! And this Valentine's Day Recommendation and our first Featured Handbag in the Spotlight for 2019 is definitely going to help me achieve that goal.

I have a few Valentine's Day Recos, but I can't help but to start with this one and when you see the bag you will totally get why!

There are several passions I have often dreamed of turning into a full time business (and in some cases have been approached to do so):

Handbag Design (I have been approached about this, but haven't found the right partner yet)

Creating my own Scent (I sort of do this already, I also do it with lipstick)

Owning a Winery (Champagne or Prosecco Please!)

Owning a Casino (I have been enjoying 'Casino-Cations' for years now, in different places, I can take the best from each and avoid the mistakes I have seen along the way, I'd be good at this!)

Some of these being a bit more do-able than others, but all vision board worthy!

One of the things I love do when I collaborate with Designers is pick their brain. I love to know what inspires fellow creatives. How dreamers bring their visions to life.




Five minutes with Richard Hofer of Lucent Wear LLC

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - When was Clara Lumé  formed? 

Development of the Clara Lumé bag started in April of 2017. The product was released publicly in September of 2018. 

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ -  What was the inspiration for the design? 

The original inspiration for the Clara Lumé bag was from Burning Man. I have been many times and I absolutely love the culture. Light up fashion is popular at the event and I found it very inspiring. Over the years I have developed and shared a number of art projects at the event. One of these projects was a set of light up coats. They were amazing, but they weren’t something that could be brought directly to the market for everyone to enjoy. They were just too expensive to build, too heavy, too hot, and too fragile for the general public. So, I looked for a way that I could share some of that fun but in an affordable and durable product. And that’s where the Clara Lumé bag came in. 

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ -  Can the fur be water treated like footwear to prevent stains? or is it just the leather that can be treated to prevent stains and make it easier to clean? 

We do not recommend treating the fur with stain preventers. They often change the feel of the fur, and it’s not really necessary anyway. During development we tested many different fur products and one of the reasons we chose the one we did was because of its ability to resist staining. We tested red wine, cola, beer, and several other staining substances and found that they all could be easily removed with water alone. The fur fibers are very stain resistant. If something does get on your bag we recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and a small amount of soap. Do not wet the fur all the way through as this can loosen the fibers. 

 Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ -  Will you offer interchangeable straps? 

We are certainly planning on offering different length straps and other styles as well in the future. 

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ -  What is your typical day like, are you involved in other businesses in addition to Clara Lumé?

During development of the bag Clara Lumé was more than a full time job. Once the product was released and production was lined out, the work load started to decrease. As of the last few months I have been taking on other outside engineering consulting contracts to fill my time. As sales increase with Clara Lumé I suspect I will have to devote my entire energy to the business once again. 

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ -  Please consider making matching vests and boots! :) 

Boots are on the horizon, but I need to get this product rolling steadily first.

I got my Clara Lumé Aurora bag all set up this weekend and it is making it's debut for New York Fashion Week events this month!

This bag is well crafted, super soft, and the unique light show feature is going to turn heads. I have had so much fun playing with the app and picking light shows for it that match my personality like Yin and Yang, Cross, Sensual Hearts and She's on Fire! (And don't think I wasn't pumping Alicia Keys' 'Girl on Fire' in tune to the light show on my Aurora!)

WIN IT:

You are cordially invited to win your own Clara Lumé AURORA Handbag at our #ClaraLumé Valentine's Twitter Party being held on Thursday, February 7th, at 9 p.m. EST - that's 6pm in California for our West Coast friends!

Sensual Hearts Clara Lume Aurora Handbag, Designer Handbags
"Sensual Hearts" Light show - Clara Lumé Aurora Handbag


My Take:

I love that the Aurora Handbag has the light show on BOTH sides, and lets me express a wide range of moods at any given time. For my animal lovers, it's FAUX Fur, while it feels soft like a rabbit, no rabbits were harmed in the making of this handbag.

It gives me ski bunny realness and you are going to turn heads wearing this bag that's for sure!

I will post a photo of myself soon rocking my new Aurora handbag soon (Hmm....or maybe I will save it for the Twitter Party on Thursday!)

Hopefully in honor of our partnership they will develop a butterfly light show on the Aurora just for me!

Readers: Are you joining us on Thursday for the Valentine's Day Twitter Party?

#HowWeFamily #TwitterParty
My Twitter "Alter Ego" is #TheOfficialTwitterPartyDJ, I was a Twitter Early Adopter and have been hosting, co-hosting and participating in Twitter Parties since pretty much their inception.

If you are wondering how I got the twitter nickname, it's because I can always find the right song to play that goes along with any Twitter Party's 'theme', because of that regular party participants would see me join a tweet chat, and tweet "There comes @Tracy_Iglesias, she's the official twitter party DJ", some even tweet me song requests now when I join a Twitter Party!

I don't think there has been a Twitter Party yet that I couldn't find a fun song for.

Well it's #TwitterTuesday and I am going to be participating in a fun Twitter Party tonight and thought I'd share the deets here, I would love to see my butterflies join me! And because I am participating as a SheKnows Media Digital Influencer, I am NOT eligible to win any prizes, but guess what? YOU are! So please join me!

Prizes: FIVE winners will receive a $50 Gift Card

As an influencer I will do my best to re-tweet all winner announcements, so be sure you are following me @Tracy_Iglesias as well!

Mix up your Spring #Haircare Routine and join in the #TwitterParty FUN too! #NewNexxus #Spon



As a Lifestyle Blogger I get the opportunity to test out a lot of different products, let's face it, it's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it! While I don't mind it being me, I do know that in between products I take a few days and go back to old favorites whether it's skincare or hair-care.

My first 'salon' hair product was Nexxus, that is what my hairdresser at my favorite hair salon used on me during each visit so that is what I would buy to use at home as well. When I'm not testing new products this is still the brand I tend to return to so when I find ways to nab it a discount I definitely take advantage.



So when I a little birdie dropped some interesting news in my inbox I knew I just couldn't keep it all to myself! From April 5th through April 11th hit the Beauty Counter at your local Duane Reade or Walgreens (or both, tee-hee!) during the 'Beauty Must-Haves' Event and meet with a Beauty Advisor to score a $2 off coupon on all your Nexxus New York Salon Care Faves! Coupons are only available while supplies last, so RUN not walk! The coupons may be used from 4/1 - 6/24/15 on any one product. (Like I said hit more than one counter, you will want a coupon for each product right?)

Turns out my old favorite has actually been re-formulated, and now offers a new Encapsulate Serum that has been enriched with 100% Elastin Protein and Caviar Complex to help re-balance, restore and replenish hair, I don't know about you, but Spring always puts a new bounce in my step, why not put some bounce in my hair too? Feeding my hair Caviar? So FANCY!



A little birdie also told me that Walgreen's is hosting a Twitter Party! Here are the deets:

Walgreens #NewNexxus Twitter Party

What: Walgreens #NewNexxus Twitter Party
When: Wednesday, April 8th from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. ET
Follow: Host @ResourcefulMom and tweet with party hashtag #NewNexxus

NOTE: I am NOT the moderator, nor am I co-host, please direct all questions to the party hostess @Resourcefulmom

MY TAKE:

I stayed with my favorite hairdresser until he retired from the industry and the smell of Nexxus will always remind me of him, I am looking forward to trying out the newly re-formulated Therappe Shampoo, Humectress Conditioner and the Encapsulate Serum, I say just like we re-vamp our makeup routines come Spring, we should mix things up with our hair too!

What is YOUR Favorite Haircare Brand?

@BestBuy Claus wants to rock your holiday socks off with an LG OLED TV that has a webOS! #HintingSeason #OLEDatBestBuy

#ad : This is a Sponsored Post, Brought to you by:



It is Tech Thursday on the interwebs and I have got my mind on a new Christmas Toy! This single gal in the city with no kids gets to indulge herself during the holidays and I am thinking of 'pimping my TV' and upping my television watching game with a better TV to keep me entertained during these cold winter months ahead in the North East, where temperatures this year are already averaging 12 degrees LOWER than they were last year at this time! Le Sigh to the max.

I figure if I am going to be trapped indoors I want to bring a cinema-like feel to my home theatre, and that can only happen with an infinite contrast ratio (for a natural lifelike viewing experience), 4 Color Pixel Techonology (to enhance color range and accuracy) and a webOS (to find content faster), am I right?

Thankfully all that and more can be found in the LG 55" OLED Curved 1080p Smart 3D HDTV! (Now when I got to attend the big reveal of the curved screens ages ago, everyone laughed at me when I wrote about them then, but I'll bet no one is laughing at me now!)

But Wait There's MORE:

Best Buy is hosting an LG OLED Twitter Party on Thursday December 4th at 7pm CST, and of course there will be great prizes including Best Buy Gift Cards! Be sure to use the party hashtag #HintingSeason in all of your tweets! And guess who will be co-hosting? That's right, yours truly #TheOfficialTwitterPartyDJ bringing the music, fun and cheer! I will be tweeting from @Tracy_Iglesias and if I get thrown in twitter jail for exceeding my status update limit, I will switch to the @Ascending1 twitter handle! No worries I will post a reminder right before the party, hope to see all my butterflies there!

MY TAKE:

I may end up opting a for a larger screen size, I really have my heart set on 70", but I got to see the curved OLED's up close when they launched at a Luxury Lifestyle Event, and then again at a recent in-store visit and I really love the sharp clarity of the LG Curved OLED TV's. If you are considering a big family gift instead of a ton of smaller ones, this is definitely one to consider, it will certainly make games come to life and make movies that much more fun! Visit LGOLEDatBestbuy.com for more information on LG OLED's at Best Buy! (and be sure you are already following them AND me, before the twitter party!)

Are you getting individual gifts or a big family gift for those on your list this holiday season?

Celebrating the #GreatestMom is Easy w/ Mother's Day Buying Guide Selections from @BestBuy + #TwitterParty!

#ad: Ascending Butterfly is a member of Best Buy's WOLF Blogger Program and this is a Sponsored Post. Compensation in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or product/services at no or reduced cost has been exchanged, as always, all opinions are my own!

The Latest and Greatest for Mom at Best Buy























Are you an On-The-Go-Mom? A juggler? Did you sign a new client, close several deals and still make it to soccer practice, the recital, or the school play without missing a beat?

Kids today are tremendously 'over-scheduled', and you know what that means? MOM IS TOO!

I am and always will be a Gadget/Tech Geek, don't let the Fashion and Beauty on these pages confuse you, When it comes to Electronics I always want the newest toy. What clothing stores were to my sisters, Electronics stores are to me.

I have vowed to turn my Mama Butterfly into a Gadget Loving Mom, and I've got a few ideas on Mother's Day Gifts to help over-scheduled Moms use technology to keep up with their 'extreme juggling acts' - The Best Buy Gift Center gave me some great ideas:

MY TAKE:

I am always on the go, and having the right tools for the job is crucial for me. It's always driven me nuts that the only time people feature tech buying gift guide recommendations is for Dads or Graduates, Moms need and use technology too! Thankfully Best Buy has a little something for everyone!

Don't tell them you heard it here, but a little birdie told me this upcoming twitter party is NOT the only one, so stay tuned butterflies!
