Thanks so much for your support with the Smirnoff DIY challenge! I did get a ton of likes for my DIY tote, and congrats to the winner, Meghan of Wit & Whimsy! My charity, The Animal Center of Queens, will receive a donation from me, that includes my unused supply stipend from Smirnoff. If interested, you can make a donation to the shelter here. As part of this project, Smirnoff concocted a drink, the “Fashion Pulse!”

Here’s the ingredients:
- .75 oz. Smirnoff Strawberry Flavored Vodka (25 oz. per bottle)
- .75 oz. Club Soda (25 oz. per bottle)
- 1 splash(es) cranberry juice

I’m sooooo not a morning person. But I like Degree, who was hosting a 7am Zumba class at Exhale Spa, so intrigued, I went to Zumba, giggle, learn about the Degree motionSense products, and the motionMiles Get into the Move Challenge.
The deets:
- Register via the Get into the Move Facebook page, (or via your phone at m.degreewomen.com)& you can have a chance to win thousands of prizes! What you do:
- Log your Movements: when you take the stairs, work out, dance, etc via the site, hence earning motionMiles. Earn additional points by entering codes found at partnering locations nationwide, such as 24 Hour Fitness locations. How to get ahead, now:
- Fashion Pulse Daily readers get a unique code, GetMoving034 ,which can enter to help you to earn even more miles (remember, you can redeem these miles to win prizes, such as a surfing trip to Hawaii or shoes!)
- Program ends August 23rd, so…let’s get a move on it!

[Proof I was “zumba-ing”: you can see my bright orange Adidas By Stella McCartney sneaker peeking out!]
And, a bit about the new motionSense Technology products:
These new antiperspirant/deodorants start working when you start to move! Choose from Expert or Clinical Protection Strength, available in three scents, and retailing from $4.16-$12.99.
