Degree Get Into the Move- move your body and win amazing prizes!

My obsession with Degree deodorant is no secret.  I just got home from an exhilarating Zumba session with my fellow LA-based beauty and fitness bloggers and omg, I feel amazing.  I’ve never zumba’d(?) before and I have to admit, it’s actually way more fun than I thought it would be.  What’s the connection between deodorant and Zumba?  Well, let me tell you.  Degree just launched an initiative called Get Into the Move, in honor of their MotionSENSE line.

What’s cool about it is that it’s basically a free (and fun) way to stay active and actually win fun stuff!  You can earn points for the below:

  • Checking in daily
  • Exercise- including walking your dog, swimming, gardening, yoga, etc.
  • Sharing the info with your friends on Facebook
  • Answering trivia questions on fitness and health
  • Finding codes at partner outlets like 24 Hour Fitness

 

Like I said, you can win prizes for playing the instant win games- prizes like iTunes and Zappos gift cards!  Make sure to also enter the weekly drawing for prizes like girls’ night out , designer shoes, and the BIG grand prize (which, I’m OBSESSED with) – a surf trip to HAWAII, a yoga retreat in Costa Rica or skiing in the Alps! HELLO.

As an added bonus, if you’re one of those do-gooders (which, clearly, I’m not) you can even donate your earned points to two different charities- Girls in the Game or The Challenged Athlete Foundation.

You have until August 23 to “get moving.”  OH and here’s how you can start and earn EASY, EASY points – use code GetMoving052 to start, courtesy of Queen of the Quarter Life Crisis 🙂

Degree motionSENSE

So it’s no secret that Degree is my favorite deodorant brand and now, they’ve managed to out-do themselves yet again with Degree motionSENSE.  What I never realized is that most deodorants are activiated by moisture and this new launch is actually activated by MOTION, so you don’ have to actually start sweating for your deodorant to work.  The product contains motion-activated micro-capsules that break and release bursts of freshness once the movement occurs…this sounds amazing.  I’ve been using the new version since last week and I have to say, it’s definitely better because essentially you’re a step ahead of the sweat.  Loving it.

Lilith Fair and Degree’s VIP tent

So my love for Degree deodorant is really just endless and everlasting.  Not only are their products really and truly amazing but they’re also one of the few beauty companies that actually has a little fun and sponors some cool stuff.  Enter my invite to Lilith Fair.  I was super excited when Degree invited me to the concert on their behalf and granted me access to their VIP tent.  Of course the amazing Nadine Jolie was also invited, which made the day even more fun for me.  A girl’s gotta have her partner in crime, right?  Degree sent a car to take me to the show (hey, it was in the OC people) and as soon as I arrived I saw a bunch of women in long, flowered skirts putting flowers in each other’s hair and was kinda scared.  Yeah, I said it.  As much as I admire Sarah McLachlan, indie girl rock isn’t really my thang…however, I was pleasantly surprised at the intelligent, amazing women that the show featured.

We were allowed access to the press conference before the show started and we got to listen to Sarah and the other ladies talk about empowering women and why they love playing Lilith.  Good stuff.  As for the actual music, it was great, but the best part of the day was definitely hanging out in the Degree VIP tent, eating all the sushi and other snacks, drinking wine and generally just hanging out with my fellow bloggers (Amber from BeautyJunkiesUnite, the Bender sisters of BeautyStyleWatch, Cindy from HelloDollface and, of course, Nadine) and the rock star publicists who work on Degree.
