Verseo Back to School Comic-Relief “Anti Tips” #BTSAntiTips

August 14th, 2010

In honor of the Back to School National Holiday, I’ve been pouring through some insightful back to school tips trying to summarize those that would be most useful to you. Being a resourceful woman, I consulted the authorities…Verseo Twitter followers.

Their ability to focus on the truly important educational components of back to school is uncanny {sarcasm}. I hope you find these as riveting as I.

Back to School “Anti-Tips” (on Twitter search for #BTSAntiTips):
(For those needing it spelled out, ie, Do NOT try these at home…
just want to make you laugh for Verseo’s Back to School Stress Free promotion)

Permanent marker strengthens a preschooler’s “pincer grasp”.

Let your gradeschool child bring the baby to show-n-tell so you can get that much needed rest.

Incessantly chanting “What’s going to work? TEEEAAMWORK!” at back-to-school night will endear other parents to you.

Buy a jacket with a built-in backpack. That way, they can lose them both at once.

The best Back to School bargain is snagin’ another kid’s jacket from the school lost and found.

Tell the class bully’s mom that he DID hit your kid and you are now stalking their entire family on Facebook.

Not sending my 4yr old to preschool this year. I’ve got Noggin.

A Dora matchy-match outfit for your 8 year old daughter’s first day of school outfit is totally cool.

Make sure your kid shows up 5 mins late every day so that they get special attention from the office staff.

Ask the teacher if you can FaceBook Friend all the parents in your kid’s class.

Make sure there is always a committee of at least 5 parents for every last mundane school job possible.

Dressing the kid in school clothes the night before saves time in the morning.

Don’t worry, Dora covers all the essential terms you need to know to be truly bi-lingual.

Ignore the list of supplies your kids’ teachers send home. They’re just suggestions.

Your 2nd grader needs to bring the iPod touch to school for the calculator

Teach your kids dodgeball early so they know what it takes to get ahead in life.

You don’t need algebra or Shakespeare to get a job.

Teaching kids handwriting is not necessary. When’s the last time you did it?

Running with scissors and trimming your friend’s hair during class is always A+.

2 good reason to teach your kids “quarters”: 1. Learn value of money 2. Requirement for college.

Send kid to school with Southwest Airline drink tickets instead of school supplies. It will be fine, they are practically the same thing.

If you sign up as Room Parent, your child will get better grades. (That’s actually true)

Make sure you attend every scheduled Orientation b/c they always share very important information. {sarcasm}

Its OK to call principle at home the week before school starts to demand your child gets that hip teacher.

My kids get an Idontwanna day each semester, they get to tell me that & they get to stay home for the day

Try not to chase after the school bus when the kids forget their lunches, only to have it fall open, thereby flashing kids. (contributed by @redneckmommy…Oh…NOW I get it…)

Taking your kid to Vegas for your 40th is a better life-lesson than his finals.

Packing a box of Ho-Hos in lunchbox will make your child feel loved.

Keep your child from becoming a bully or mean girl by stuffing dirty socks in his/her pockets. Will definitely stay out of trouble.

Slapping your teachers tush shows true school spirit

Oh and, Word Girl has nothing on Phineas and Ferb.

Thanks to the following @marybeauty Twitter followers for their superb ideas and tips:
@theslynch, @CBSMom, @BackpackingDad, @redneckmommy, @lttlewys, @jencrutch, @TheMomv2, @jessesco, @laosinger, @sharonanneo, and @annieology

Be sure to include your brilliance so we can all be enlightened…

Always grateful,
Mary

Verseo’s Case for making Back to School a National Holiday

August 14th, 2010

Now that “Back-to-School” time is a National Holiday, Verseo wants to offer you some relief.

Oh, what? You don’t believe me about the National Holiday thing? Let me convince you otherwise…

Have you been in Target lately? Right before the Halloween and pre-pre-pre Christmas goods there is a whole honkin’ section of back to school necessities (like tiny stuffed animals you can clip on your backpack zippers…huh?).

On Ebay there is even Back To School acronyms (BTS), Twitter has it’s own back-to-school hashtag (#backtoschool), and do a “back to school” search on Etsy and you’ll find about 12,000 results. These are all true indicators of National Holidays…

Still need some convincing? Go ahead, just search the all-knowing blogosphere and you’ll find 1 out of 3 top bloggers offering their back to school tips. Not that I did that of course.

I mean, I don’t even know how people handled back to school back in the “old” days without the blogosphere? Not knowing exactly what to expect or what to do? Gasp, the horror.

Just like Hallmark graciously brought Mother’s Day to the forefront of our guilt-laden consciousness, the resourcefulness of the collective masses has brought us another reason to buy cards we’ll never send.

By your silence I trust I’ve made my case…

In honor of the Back to School National Holiday, we’re offering two things to relieve your stress (another reason Back to School is indeed a National Holiday..Holidays are STRESSFUL!)

Offering you something for free
Making you laugh (well, at least snicker..).

So first, right now receive a free package of Verseo Natural Herbal Stress-Relief packages with any order. That’s a $20 value just for being stressed about something that is relatively mundane. Nice.

We’ve been running this for about a week, it’s plastered on the top of each of our pages on the website, yet over half of our customers somehow miss that ALL they have to do, is add the packages to their cart and shop like they normally would. Blows my mind. You will NOT get mysteriously charged 2 years later for adding the FREE packages to your cart. Trust me, if we could we might but we can’t…{sarcasm}.

So if you’re shopping with us and taking the time to read this (thank you, now get back to work), make me proud and add them to the cart. THEY ARE FREE. Gratis. No dinero. No catch. One last time, JUST ADD THE PATCHES TO YOUR CART. THEY ARE FREE WITH YOUR ORDER. (Limit 1 though so don’t get sneaky).

The patches are all-natural so you lose nothing BY ADDING THEM TO YOUR CART BECAUSE THEY ARE FREE. No, I’m not getting paid by the amount of people that add them to their cart, we just have a bet here that we’ll still have over half of our customers for some reason not add them to their cart and I’m convinced that I just need to do a little head knockin’ (HELLO, ANYONE? YES, JUST ADD THEM TO YOUR CART BECAUSE THEY ARE FREE..) I know, Holidays are stressful like that.

For the second part, (the making you laugh part), you’ll have to read my next post where I give you riveting Back to School “Anti” Tips brought to you by our very funny Twitter friends and ahem, yours truly so stay tuned…

Always grateful,
Mary

#HomeHer10 Spawns Virtual BlogHer10 -like Conference via Twitter

August 9th, 2010

HomeHer11 Logo Courtesey of Marcy - @theglamlife http://www.marcymassura.com/

Well I had just a fabulous time with HomeHer10 attendees. Normally I’m working my hiney off to get just a blip in additional new visitors to our Verseo.com site to help rationalize my existance. But this weekend we had a nice little blip in large part thanks to me just having some good social networking fun. So thanks to all the #HomeHer10 followers and your visits to Verseo.com.

Feel free to follow me on Twitter (@MaryBeauty) or become a Verseo FaceBook Fan (I still can’t say “Like”) for continued product updates and specials or just to chat. Also, If you’re interested in a product promotion or giveaway like the Verseo Back-To-School-Stress-Free promotion @NewBreedMama is currently holding, just ping me!

Below is a Press Release about HomeHer10 going out on our behalf on Wednesday:

{FOLLOW UP NOTE. HERE IS LINK TO LIVE PRESS RELEASE }
*********************************************************************************************

When @MaryBeauty, Social Media spokesperson for Verseo.com, had to cancel her plans to attend blogging conference BlogHer10, she was left holding some Verseo goodies and a wee bit of resentment at having to stay home. Then she stumbled upon HomeHer10 on Twitter and was pleasantly surprised to find traveling was not required in this virtual world to connect with some amazing mom and dad bloggers while still enjoying the difficulties of parenthood.

HomeHer10 was the brainchild of funny-dad @BackpackingDad meant as a tongue-in-cheek representation of what a conference would be like if staged at home with the family. As soon as he posted his intentions of holding his own at-home blogging conference, the Twitters poured in. Soon the #HomeHer10 Twitter hash tag was flying around the internet in its true viral form. Adult-deprived mommy bloggers unleashed their witty potential with hilarious comments worthy of Saturday Night Live skits.

So what is HomeHer10?

“It’s a conference…
Pretty much the best conference ever. E-VAR.
It started out as just me talking about canning peaches and watching Californication yesterday and faking a Peepers Party and a Flickr stream now it has conference badges, Twitter twibbons, actual giveaways, t-shirts and a billion more fake and kinda real parties.” writes founder @BackpackingDad

HomeHer10 amassed more than 700 ‘attendees’ and included

Stately accommodations:
“@MuffinTopMommy: I need to call the front desk, my tv is set to Dora and I can’t find the remote to change it. #HomeHer10″
“@lifeasaSAHM: Screaming baby, barf on me, dirty hotel room, dishes in the sink, no housekeeping, and my toilet needs scrubbed. Must be? #HOMEHER10″

(Un)forgettable food and drink entrees:
“@CrunchyMom – Quesadillas from the Easy Bake oven for lunch…service is slow…#HomeHer10″
“@froglette79: This weekend was brought to me by the $2 wine in my cupboard and my kids obsession with the Wii FIt. #HomeHer10″

Delightful attendees:
“@ComfyMom: Attendees wide awake & partying in my room at 4am this morning. Hope there is a nap session today #HomeHer10″
“@mykidsmom383: Going to have to speak with hotel management in the morning. Attendees are putting empty milk jugs back in the fridge. #homeher10″

Riveting workshops and break-out sessions:
“@milkstained: Makeout session. I kept saying “BREAKOUT session!” You said, “get the video camera! There’s one in the swag!” #HomeHer10″
“@greenvneck: Last session of #HomeHer10 commencing @ 8pm: Dispelling the Myths of the Laundry & Dish Fairies. Not for the faint-of-heart.”

(Reverse) sponsors and swag:
“@Totally_Toni: It’s another #ReverseSponsor for dinner tonight because I haven’t gone shopping yet thank you @popeyeschicken for taking my money #HomeHer10″
“@CBSMom: dudes! the taco bell “can’t cook dinner, too busy at #homeher10″ booth is already doing spork swag!”
“@theglamlife: Good news. My #HomeHer10 sponsor has offered to renew my contract. I must have impressed him with my laundry skills.”

and even it’s own gala (Sprinklecorn) with live music:
“@BackpackingDad: And now is the time on #Sprinklecorn ven ve danse.”
“@OttMom2three: Great music at #Sprinklecorn tonight. Unfortunately all my dance partners are passed out with their respective blankies. #HomeHer10″

BlogHer10 corporate sponsors and attendees even realized the real draw of HomeHer10 and began commenting from the BlogHer10 conference floor.
“@PlaytexBaby: For all you moms not attending #BlogHer,we’re sad we won’t meet you in person, but looking forward to getting to know you online! #homeher10”

Even a friendly rivalry began to unfold:
“@BackpackingDad: Criticizing #HomeHer10 because you were at #BlogHer10 is like hating on knock knock jokes because you have a door.”

A twist to the at-home conference was the fact that it was a Mr. Mom that came up with the idea. There are plenty of daddy bloggers facing the same daily trials as mommy bloggers and they too have significant marketing reach with their peers. However, many daddy bloggers would not feel comfortable attending a conference where they may unnecessarily stand out. At HomeHer10, no mommy blogger would even blink at having a daddy blogger join them in the camaraderie.

Despite it’s just-in-time fun, HomeHer10 connected Mom and Mr. Mom bloggers in a very real way. Support for fellow funny bloggers drummed up hundreds of followers for some participants in just a few days. The type of thing Social Media hounds crave for.

As Social Media expert Stephanie Lynch (@theslynch) writes:

“Here’s to the best that social media can give: networking with people who share a common passion. It’s really true what they say: “@Household6Diva Facebook is for friends that are now strangers, Twitter is for strangers that should be your friends.””

In the end, @marybeauty was able to provide Verseo everLASHing products as a real giveaway to a couple of fellow #HomeHer10 attendees picked by her 4 year old son. The fact that she was able to truly connect and introduce the Verseo brand to potential customers was just icing on the cake and not intentional. “Will I go to BlogHer11 next year? Yes, I still would like to visually connect with other mommy bloggers and do feel social media is a very effective marketing venue when done right. BlogHer definitely has its place and is great at connecting brands with their potential customers. But my heart will be with my new HomeHer friends. As a mom myself, I connected as a person, not a marketer and it opened my eyes to the reality of social networking.” – Mary Greene @marybeauty

As the event wound down, there were videos being made and big plans for a HomeHer11 reunion in a grand scale. No follower seemed to want the connections to be broken.

“@GhostwriterJG: Bid a tearful farewell to the other attendee. She said, “Uh, mom, you realize we’re still home, right?”
“@redneckmommy: I have an emotional hangover this morning. That #HomeHer10 conference sucked the life out of me.”

While HomeHer11 may not have the impromptu quirkiness it had with HomeHer10, judging by its popularity, HomeHer11 may be one of the best social marketing venues BlogHer11 could ever hope for and is sure to hit new heights by next year.

Hilarious #HomeHer10 Twitter Streams inspire me to giveaway Verseo everLASHing

August 6th, 2010

#HomeHer10 for Hilarious Tweets

So I was feeling blue about not attending BlogHer10. I’m supposed to represent Verseo in all things Social Media Marketing and was really hoping I can learn from the pros. Besides, I’m a mom myself and know how totally awesome we can be and also know we hold the purse strings. Made perfect sense.

Long story short, my plans to attend BlogHer10 were canceled at the last minute and I was left holding a few Verseo Swag Bag items meant for BlogHer10. So I’m using them for some Back to School promotions. But yesterday I stumbled onto a #HomeHer10 hashtag and started following the funny tweets.

Adult-deprived moms (and dads!) are hilarious. They have pent up needs to be witty after all that Itsy-Bitsy Spider singing they do all day long. I know because I’m one. HomeHer10 is the brainchild of hilarious dad blogger Backpacking Dad fake conference. Kind of tongue-in-cheek to basically spite BlogHer10 superiority…

So I’m hoping to break into the exclusive mom blog stronghold even though I’m technically Verseo Spokes Person. I love Verseo and I love Moms. So I honestly would love to tell mom about Verseo products that they may like. Lord knows we spend too much money on Gymboree and train sets and not enough pampering ourselves.

Anyway, I digress, so the boss is away and I’m making an executive decision to offer 2 everLASHing Lash Growth Stimulators to #HomeHer10 lucky winners. everLASHing is clinically proven to give you fuller lashes by 54%. One cool thing about this product too is that it was named by one of our FaceBook Fans, Keonte’ who is a mom herself.

So just follow and RT @marybeauty with #HomeHer10 hash tag today and I’ll let my 4 year old pick two random winners by 4pm PDT today Friday, August 6, 2010.

5 Tips for Stress-Free Back to School

August 4th, 2010

Back to School Stress Free - Free gift with Verseo order

Verseo Natural Stress-Relief Patches Free with Order

Whether it’s preschool or college, back to school time has a way of adding a bit of frenzy to your life. There is a lot of anticipation, expectations and changes to the order of things no matter what grade or year you are starting.

At our house its preschool and grade school but I remember well the first days of school for all years including college. Looking back, I know that the times it went smoothly, we added at least a few of these tips to our days:

Tip 1: Prepare. I know, obvious but then again not. Last year when my daughter was entering 2nd grade I figured since I was seasoned in this (yeah right), we could go on vacation and get back late the night before school started. Mistake. It took us a week to get out of that frenzied feel mode after the first day of school was a total mess. Now I know. It doesn’t mean you have to alter vacation plans, but even though you may have been around the block already, first days of school are usually a time where all things are brought into a different flow. So prepare for it. Know when things start, where you’re going, how you’re going to get there, what you’re going to wear, what you’re going to eat, and how you’re going to come home. Know what your schedule will be for that first week. Make sure you have childcare taken care of if days are shorter the first week and make sure you know when after-school activities start. At least one week before, go through your calendar and visualize that first week. ESPECIALLY if you have multiple kids that are part of multiple activities.

Tip 2: Talk about it. Yes you’re kids may be aware of what is going on but they are coming down from a summer high. Chances are, they are not paying attention like you think they are. So a few days before, maybe during dinner or quite time or bed time, when they are focused on you and not some type of media, talk to them about what their expectations are about the first day of school. You may be surprised to learn they have pent up anxieties that hadn’t previously surfaced. Be specific about what will go on that first week of school then no one’s expectations will come in conflict when the time arrives.

Tip 3: Keep is simple. We all know you’re super-mom or independent college kid. But being your wonderful self means you have enough sense to know when there is too much on your plate. So don’t go trying to schedule superfluous activities like hair appointments, doctor visits, dinner guests, or buying yourself that new puppy. Just focus on getting into the swing of things, then you can do all those activities. Promise there is enough time for it all if you plan right.

Tip 4: Get new “school” item. This may sound a bit materialistic but hear me out. Whether it’s a new backpack, hip earrings, or comfy new shoes, having something new gives you that extra hop in your step. Your confidence is boosted just a wee bit more. Suffice it to say that a confidence boost goes a long way in combating anxiety as you’re focused on your shiny bright object versus all the other unknowns.

Tip 5: Sleep and eat. Why I would even have to mention this is a bit crazy. But we’re all guilty of not sleeping enough and eating crap. Just like you wouldn’t start a road trip without fueling up and checking the tires, your body should be well-oiled. It’s a machine. It runs well on things like sleep, exercise, healthy foods and happy thoughts. During summer, bedtimes begin getting pushed back seemingly more each day. And wake up times get later and later. So unless you’re that lucky college kid that scored Mon and Wed classes that start at 2pm, chances are the kids days will be starting earlier than they were used to during the summer. They need their bodies well fueled. So start easing into a healthier bed-time routine that starts to mimic the school day and make sure they lay off the popsicles and fuel their bodies with healthier alternatives. And plan for a healthy but lite breakfast for the first day. Jitters may make them less prone to eat so make sure that what they do have, is good enough to fuel their bodies throughout the day.

Verseo knows back to school time can be stressful for all those involved. So we’re offering our Verseo All-Natural Stress-Relief patches FREE with any order. These transdermal patches include a special blend of calming herbs that are slowly released into the body for all day relief from anxiety and stress. May your back to school time be stress-free!

What is Moroccan Oil?

July 30th, 2010

Goats eating yummy Argan tree fruit

Sounds exotic doesn’t it?

If you’ve heard of this and even know how to spell Morocco (Morrocon oil? Morracon oil? Morocan oil? huh?), you can consider yourself quite knowledgeable already .

Moroccan oil has been around for centuries. Moroccan oil is otherwise known as argan oil and comes from the Argan tree which grows in very limited areas around the world namely Morocco. Not only that, but each tree only produces four ounces of oil each year.

I found out about this oil about five years ago when we started carrying a beauty line product from France called Sens Pluriel and wondered why in the world it wasn’t being talked about all over town.

The story behind Argan oil is as exotic as the country it comes from. But you’ll need a strong stomach and the willingness to hear me out.

Apparently, The Berber’s (indigenous people of Morocco) had already realized the fruit from the Argan tree could be made into a pulp producing a rich fatty oil that has been used in cooking and then later was found to have very good effects on skin treatments like psoriasis. The one catch (other than the fruit is rather rare from a global perspective), the Argan fruit/nut is hard to crack open and required intense manual labor.

Seeing as to how there weren’t any handy otters around Morocco, someone had a bright idea. The story goes, little Moroccan goats scamper along the country side, reach WAY up high to grab the apparently yummy Argan tree fruits then scamper along again happily pooping the stuff behind them. I don’t want to meet the first person that tried this but for some reason, SOMEONE centuries ago (remember, there was no TV or internet then), decided that hey, ingested Argan fruit WAY easier to crack open.

The story is now even better. This little tree is a relic from the Earth’s Tertiary Period which ended about 1.6 million years ago. It is extremely drought resistant and can live over 200 years. This is one hardy tree. However, over-grazing by goats and demand for the tree caused it to basically go near extinction. But UNESCO stepped in, helped to education the people in the area on the value of the tree and worked to grow awareness in the global community.

Now all argan oil is produced by a women’s cooperative that shares the profits among the local women of the Berber tribe. The cooperative has established an ecosystem reforestation project so that the supply of argan oil will not run out and the income that is currently supporting the women will not disappear. The money is providing healthcare and education to the local women, and supporting the entire community as a whole. That seriously tears me up. Just awesome.

So while that story is fascinating and the poop part may or may not be true (I think it is, heck, that person was thinking outside the box and I’m personally impressed!), obviously technology has caught up and no, people don’t go around scooping Moroccan goat poop to make a beauty cream.

Now you have fodder for your next dinner party. But back to why you should like Moroccan/Argan oil. I’ll call it Argan oil since I keep misspelling Morroco. Argan oil is made up of a blend of fatty acids (oleic and linoleic acids) and is naturally rich in Vitamin E. By now, no secret that Vitamin E is essential to healthy skin production and helps to heal scars and the like quickly.

Argan oil has been known to help revitalize cell functions that prevent early aging due to sun and external pollutant damage and has proven effective in reducing blemishes, preventing the onset of stretch-marks, and can combat psoriasis and eczema flare ups . Argan oil also has a sebum regulating action that helps reduce oiliness in skin and when used in hair products helps to maintain frizz, reduce split ends and enhance shine. I could go on and on…

Verseo carries a line of products from France that have contained Argan oil long before it became popular in the States so they know a thing or two about producing quality beauty-line creams with Argan Oil. Check out Sens Pluriel Firming Face Cream for yourself and see what all the hype is about…

How does the new Verseo eGlide Roller Electrolysis System work?

July 19th, 2010

Verseo eGlide Roller Electrolysis System

As the official site for Verseo’s new eGlide Roller Electrolysis System, we know a thing about this cool new tool. Atlantic Horizon, parent company to Verseo and makers of popular products like the Verseo ePen, took two years of research and development backed with clinical studies to develop the next generation of at-home electrolysis systems. Enter Verseo eGlide Roller Electrolysis System. It’s like Permanent Hair Removal 2.0.

The new eGlide uses galvanic technology to emit safe electrical energy that reacts with the included conductive gel to destroy the derma papilla–the foundation of hair growth–at the base of the follicle. It’s like Star Wars has come to town on unwanted hair.

The metal roller emits galvanic currents as it glides against the conductive gel. Hair follicles don’t like that. Like a well-trained pup, the hair begins to stop it’s growth cycle. After-all, evolution has caught up. We are not Neanderthals (nothing against Neanderthals). We now have clothes that keep us warm. We don’t need certain hair on our bodies but our genetic make-up is a tad slow to react to that.

With continued use of the Verseo eGlide system, clinical studies proved this technology permanently removed hair without the pain or scarring associated with needle electrolysis. What’s more, it can be used on any skin type or skin color.

Why so affordable? Volume. That, and technology has caught up. Much like TV’s, technology that has been around becomes cheaper to produce. The Verseo eGlide Roller uses the same technology as those used by many expensive salons.

What you pay for in a salon is the service of its people. Definitely important. I know that brushing my own hair is basically free compared to having it done at a salon. But some things are worth the service and there is a place for that. For hair removal, it’s not necessarily pleasant, it can take some time, and it’s expensive for the salon therapist to do the same thing you could be doing at home at your own time while watching TV from the privacy of your own home.

So in my book, pedicures, nice little salon treat. Permanent hair-removal? I’ll handle that thank you. For the price of one salon treatment, you could be using Verseo eGlide system from the privacy of your home at your own time. With repeated use, you’ll achieve smooth, silky legs, bikini areas and more.

The Verseo eGlide comes with 100% Money Back Guarantee. So there’s no risk. Try it today =>
