Snapple get’s Fit!

TheDiva | Love | Thursday, 27 March 2008

I don’t watch much TV and when I do I usually block the commercials, but last week something caught my eye. It was a commercial for Snapple’s New Antioxidant Water. The commercial featured a man stepping out of a building taking a sip of water and as he takes his next step all of a sudden the street is covered in bubble wrap! Who can resist bubble wrap!? Suddenly the whole city is wrapped in it and the guy is running around jumping off buildings. Looked like a blast! That’s when I realized it was a Snapple Commercial!

I’ve had a long love affair for this brand…I swear it was the first soda I ever remember drinking…it was their Tru Root-Beer, which was clear. I remember being around age 6 or 7 and my Dad taking me to the general store on the weekend as a treat, that was my choice every time. I was pissed when on a rare occasion they were sold out and remember pouting and acting pissy for hours! Poor Dad, he was such a champ to put up with my bratty ass.

In my teens Snapple entertained us with The Snapple Lady! She was great!! Another vivid memory of a marketing campaign that captivated my attention every time I saw it. (psst…Snapple… if you’re looking for a new Snapple Lady Call me!!).

For years now I’ve been reaching for Snapple over soft drinks, Rasberry Iced Tea is my current fav. flavor. The first thing I do is check under the cap for my fun fact. Who ever came up with that idea is my hero…it’s better then getting a fortune in a fortune cookie!

This new product has me very excited. I caught a little buzz about it over on Twitter and I’ll be looking for it on my next trip out. Timing couldn’t be more perfect as I am re-evaluating my consumption and looking to get fit for summer.

According to a press release they offer “seven unique flavors inspired by nature’s “superfruits,” including pomegranates and acai berries.” - Yumm! They have launched a MySpace page, Facebook widget (along with a bunch of others), and even a bunch of cool accessories for Meez! I love to see brands like this taking advantage of Social Media.

Here’s that commercial, just in case you missed it!

Brain Leakage

TheDiva | Babble, Life | Thursday, 13 March 2008

I’m not really sure where to begin with this posts…I just know it needs to be done. Every so often I reach a point where I am just totally burnt out. It’s not really due to any one thing in particular, but a combination of a lot of things…events and emotions that accumulate over time until finally I have to totally walk away and try to reassess myself, my goals, my life.

For the past two weeks my eyes have been very irritated and swollen, they itch, they water, they hurt. I’m thinking it’s either pink eye or I have become allergic to my cats. We’ll soon see as I am going to see a doctor tomorrow. Staring at the computer all day hasn’t been much help, but then I can’t avoid work if I want to get paid. This comes after my annual two weeks of flu/bronchitis, when I get to lay in bed till my bum is sore and want to rip my nose from my face. I struggled a lot with being sick…having a job that is done primarily from my home now, I felt like I couldn’t fully rest and found myself constantly thinking about work…in past years I haven’t had access to my work from home, so it hasn’t been an issue. I constantly worried about falling behind and not keeping up on tasks. This is one time when I felt that my laptop, which I sleep with regularly, was pure evil. The worst part being that as much as I wanted to be productive, my brain refused to function properly…doped up on cold meds and whatnot…so I’d often log in and just stare off into space not knowing what to do or where to begin.

On top of that, my personal life could really use some attention. I get so wrapped up with all things virtual, that sometimes my non-virtual life/person gets neglected. I know this is not good and I’m sure many of you don’t understand, but it happens. I continue to reach the end of my days and think to myself that I should have done this and that and tell myself - Tomorrow I will get up early, exercise, have a healthy breakfast, get fresh air, balance my checkbook, get the mail, clean the house….do all those things that need to be done and should take priority, but don’t.

Sitting here day in day out…constantly reassessing and prioritizing my to-do lists…thinking up and adding new tasks here and there and struggling to feel accomplished to the point where I can unplug at the end of a day and get to bed on time with out feeling like I have to do just one last thing.

I know I am not alone here. I know there are other people with more on their plate then me, but how do you possibly get it all done? Why do I feel like I’m doing something wrong. Do I just need to get a life? A Vacation? Take a walk? How can I make Me a priority over everything else, when I am such a habitual offender at putting everyone/everything else first

*sigh*

Okay…back to work now…I really just needed to vent. Please return to whatever it was you were doing and pardon this interruption.
