Tip-Off Party with Kia & Crowdtap!

Tip-Off Party with Kia & Crowdtap!

So because my sister has a brand new Kia Optima (BEAUTIFUL CAR!) and I’m such an active member of Crowdtap, I was chosen to host a “Tip-Off with Kia & Crowdtap” party!  Whoot!  I was so excited about this party, as my family is a huge fan of Kia Motors…my sister, my step-sister, and myself ALL three own a Kia.  Heck, after this party I have my husband thinking about getting himself the new 2013 Kia Optima…he hadn’t ridden in my sister’s until this party, and he’s sold now! 

 Anyhow, for my Kia Tip-Off party I decided to stick 100% with the basketball theme of course.  Kia & Crowdtap sent me an amazing party kit for this one too!  In my kit there was a Kia branded mini basketball & hoop set, a $20 gift card for refreshments (and I had TONS of them!), a $20 gift card for the winner of one of my games, and a booklet of many fun ideas for my party! They literally covered everything I needed for this party- it was great!  All I had to do was plan and prep the food J

I invited my sister and her boyfriend, a couple of her boyfriends friends, and a few of my husband’s guy friends.  Most of them brought their boyfriends/girlfriends making my turn out AMAZING.  I literally had just enough food to feed everyone- and I made quite a bit.  I had tons of the basketball gameday classics…hotdogs (yes, I even set up an entire hot dog bar- it was a hit!) nachos, peanuts, jumbo pickles, chips/dip…and TONS of basketball décor in the house!

We watched the Heat and the Pacers, played a few games, and filled up on food.  All the while, chatting about my sisters new 2013 Kia Optima (have I mentioned I’m obsessed!??!?!)…I’m pretty sure everyone left with purchasing a new Kia at the top of their “to do” list!  The best part of the night, was the “O-P-T-I-M-A Challenge” where we played the updated version of “horse” with our new basketball and hoop (C

Hahahaha…of course he earned those too. 

I won’t leave my blog without telling you how amazing Kia’s new 2013 Optima is, seriously.  Not only is the car stunning, it’s got SO many great features…24 city/35 hwy MPG, 200 HP @ 6000 RPM, 2.4L 16Valve gasoline direct injection engine, the exterior has chrome accented finishes, it’s sleek and sporty, the interior includes Bluetooth wireless technology, has USB inputs, luxury seating, and this baby has a 6 speaker sound system…and it bumps!  LOVE this car.  Get to your local dealer and check one out, you will soon be figuring out your next purchase- I swear!  I’m in love.

Get Fashionably Fit in Old Navy Activewear!

Get Fashionably Fit in Old Navy Activewear!

I seriously can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to be part of the Old Navy Style Council!  It’s samples & shares like this “Get Fashionably Fit in Old Navy Activewear” that really excite me!  I was chosen to go in-store and redeem a stylish activewear top and bottom of my choice J  Oh wait, it gets better.  I also got to take a friend to get herself a top and bottom as well! 

Everybody knows I’m obsessed with Old Navy, it’s my go-to for literally every season and occasion.  Heck, I even go there when I’m bored for the meer fact that they have THE BEST customer service…I could browse and chat in there all day long I swear.  Anyhow, another reason I’m in love with them is because of their stylish lineup of clothing!  Their activewear is absolutely AMAZING.  It’s comfortable, stylish, motivating, sassy, durable, and functional.  I’m not sure that I even gave it as much credit as I should…it’s really indescribable, I just love it.

So I pretty much own everything that Old Navy sells for their lineup of “Active by Old Navy”, as I said before I’m obsessed.  Literally every time they release another top or bottom, jacket, or design of socks…I’m all over it.  For this trip to redeem our sample & share coupons, my sister and I got our favorite (she is also obsessed, it’s where we both get all of our workout attire- we also workout together…Zumba on Thursdays! Whoot!) graphic tanks and compression leggings.  The graphic tank is SO comfy, and flattering for any body type I swear.  And the compression leggings have been a favorite of mine since Old Navy released their entire Activewear line…I’m a HUGE fan of these and rave about them to everybody every time workout attire comes up in a conversation!

I may be biased, but I’m pretty sure this was my favorite sample & share to date, as I just can’t get enough of Old Navy and I’m their biggest fan of their entire Activewear line.  I hope Crowdtap keeps working with Old Navy, so I can keep introducing my friends and family to their awesome stuff.  Oh, and since doing our sample & share my sister and I have wore our outfits to Zumba and they received amazing feedback…I don’t think a single girl in our class didn’t compliment one of us on our cute outfits!  Of course we went on and on about what else Old Navy had and directed them all to our local store!  Love love LOVE Old Navy Activewear.
