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.

Degree Women Natureffects Collection – TOUCH

So I got my second amazing delivery from Degree today – a beautiful bouquet that added a nice “touch” to my desk and definitely helped to release my “Outdoorphins” and stimulate my sense of sight.  After receiving these flowers, I have to admit that I actually really like having flowers around me and, funny enough, 88% of all women surveyed by Degree agree that bringing nature into their homes lowers stress and makes them happier.  Hmmm…what have I been missing?  More than half of the women surveyed also keep plants at home to stay connected to nature.  I’m on my way to the garden store right now, people.

Degree Women Natureffects Collection – TASTE

So as much as I love Los Angeles, one thing that it definitely lacks is that super exciting season change that I used to experience in New York – winter turning to spring.  It’s the most exciting thing EVER.  It starts with the bitter cold snow and then one day, mysteriously, it’s 70 degrees and sunny.  I love it.  Anyhow, I’ve parterned with my favorite deodorant, Degree, as they’ve agreed to stimulate my senses and help me feel the seasons change, even though I’m in LA.

I had NO IDEA that a whopping 40% of women have called in sick from work just to spend time outside…ha, I thought it was only me who did things like that!  My first sense stimulated?  TASTE. I was sent a yummy orange olive cake – the ingredients in the cake are inspired by two of the new fragrances from the Degree Women Natureffects Collection – olive leaf & pink pepper and orange flower & cranberry.  YUM.  I can’t wait for the next delivery.  Stay tuned.
