2 More Hours Launched!

noreply@blogger.com (ChicBlvd.com) — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 15:45:00 +0000

Have you discovered what 2 More Hours means yet??

The American Heart Association released a study that said for every one hour of exercise, TWO HOURS are added to your life expectancy.

For the next two months, ChicBlvd is setting out to inspire others (and ourselves ), to get in shape and take care of the bodies that we've been given! So many times we don't think there's time in our day to work out, however, working out actually creates time. And life is too short not to take that seriously!

Then, the 2nd part of this campaign is a challenge to all of us to think of something creative, bold, inspiring or even relaxing to do with all that extra time we create!

Will it be sky-diving, traveling, relaxing, going back to school, spending time with family, serving at a homeless shelter, spending more time praying, reading, learning something new, doing something crazy, pursuing your dream? What is missing from your life? Now's the time to discover it! There's power in 2 hours!

Be on the look-out for all of the fun things related to this campaign! Just to give you another tip, we have partnered with PUSH tv to offer a unique method of working out.

PUSH offers a no-hassle, ultra-affordable, super-charged, celebrity-caliber fitness plan. Each month, PUSH creates and mails a workout DVD that’s customized just for you, from the exercises incorporated, to the music, equipment, body part focus, cardio routine, and trainer of your choice. This full-body personal training system gets harder every month as you get stronger, so you never get bored or hit a plateau so you can continue to reach your fitness goals.

To get a FREE 30-day trial, visit push.tv/chicblvd!

Hello friends,

You haven't seen us here in awhile because we've been working on some pretty exciting things for you! For one, we've been spending hours developing the "chic" techie product lines at www.chicbuds.com!

Not only will you find 5 standard flavors (uh, colors) on white casing for the iPod... you'll also see the newly released BLACK casing. Cell phone earbuds, called chicBabies, have also recently been released--as well as a Techie Girl Kit which includes a cable connecting your iPod to your computer... and a car adapter so you can rock out to your tunes in the car!

Be sure to check it out the latest ear candie!

And read what YOU have said!

“What Women Want”… in iPod Accessories
ChicBlvd.com conducts a study among 250 women age 18-40 to determine iPod use and purchasing decisions in 2007 for technological devices and their accessories—including Swarovski crystal earphones, appliqués and protective covers.

Irvine, CA, February 9, 2007--In a January 2007 study conducted by ChicBlvd.com online magazine--a girlfriend’s guide to dating, marriage, baby and career—it was determined that women ages 18-40, regardless of their life-stage, view iPods as a must-have item among electronic devices.

The survey announced that over 85% of these women own one or more iPod devices for reasons such as ease of use, convenient music storage and compact design… not to mention that it’s quite trendy!

Nearly 90% of these iPod purchases were made within the last two years and an astounding 20% of total iPods owned were acquired during Christmas 2006. With no sign of slowing down, the poll revealed that women iPod owners will increase at least 13% in 2007.

Now more than ever, women are looking for accessories to jazz up their common-looking gadget—whether with crystals, appliqués, unique earphones or stylish protective covers.

And while many women continue to seek out the latest fashion trends for their iPod, another striking result of the study indicated that when purchasing their accessories, functionality is equally as important to them as finding a unique style.

An example of one such device that women commented on, was the newly released product called chicBuds Swarovski crystal earphones from www.chicbuds.com. While women adored the product’s fancy embellishments, 50% of them commented on the versatility of this chic gear.

The number one versatile feature that grabbed the attention of the sample group surveyed, was the convenient built-in retractable device found on the cord of the earphone. Comments ranged from “My favorite feature on chicBuds is the retractable device--great idea, mine are always getting tangled!” and “the retractable cord! It makes working out with my iPod a lot easier!!”

Some 50% of iPod owners say that style is a must-have when finding the perfect accessory to customize their iPod as one women said it best, “I like to feel unique in the sea of iPod users walking around my college campus!!”

While some in the fashion industry may say that pink is on its way out, it was found that almost half of all iPod accessory purchasers prefer pink. Founders of www.chicBuds.com further reported that their earphones embellished with pink Swarovski crystals compile at least 80% of their continued growing sales.

While women often “think pink”, it was discovered that there’s a lot more to their purchasing decisions than just color. Women commented that their buying transactions are fueled by emotional responses to a product—which are often ignited by special editions that offer a percentage of proceeds to charities including those such as AIDS Awareness, Breast Cancer Awareness, Support the Troops and Music Appreciation.

In a consumer-driven market saturated with the latest over-the-top accessories for iPods, women demand more than just a pretty product to get them to dip into their pocket books.

Jocelyn Chu Inspires Others!

noreply@blogger.com (ChicBlvd.com) — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 20:55:00 +0000

Jocelyn Chu plans to Carry a Tin 4 Aids Awareness!

Who is Jocelyn, you ask?

"My name is Jocelyn Chu and I'm 30-years-old. I go to California State University at Fullerton where I'm majoring in communications with an emphasis in public relations. I joined this fight against aids because I'd like to see a cure developed within my lifetime. I also believe in the ChicBlvd and Hint Mint concept where people can inspire others to make a difference."

This is how Jocelyn plans to spread the awareness:

"I love this concept! I'd like to help out on the collegiate level at CSUF. Besides my group of friends at CSUF, on myspace, and within the action sports industry, I'd like to see this campaign reach the schools across the country. I'd use a little bit of guerilla marketing to bring awareness to this heartfelt cause."

Maurice Greene Carries a Tin 4 Aids Awareness

noreply@blogger.com (ChicBlvd.com) — Sat, 25 Nov 2006 20:11:00 +0000

Olympian Maurice Greene, the fastest man in the world, is going to be a tin carrier for the Carry a Tin 4 Aids Awareness Campaign (www.chicblvd.com/aids)!

ABOUT Maurice Greene
Career Highlights: 2000 Olympic 100m and 4x100m gold medalist; 3-time World 100m champion (‘97, ’99, ‘01); 1999 World 200m and 4 x 100m champion; 2004 Olympic 100m bronze medalist & 4x100m relay silver medalist; 2001 U.S. Indoor 60m Champ; 1999 World Indoor 60m champion; 1997, 2000, 2002 U.S. 100m champ; 1999 U.S. 200m champion; Indoor 50m & 60m dash world record holder

One of the greatest sprinters of all time, Greene entered the blocks for the much anticipated men’s 100m final at the 2005 USA Outdoor Championships in search of his fifth national title in that event. Unfortunately, near the midpoint of the race Greene suffered a left hamstring injury that kept him from completing the race. He was named to the 4x100m relay pool for the 2005 World Outdoor Championships in Helsinki, but a fumbled baton pass in the opening round disqualified the U.S. squad and kept Greene from competing. The dominant 100m sprinter of his era, Greene won the bronze medal at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens in the same time in which he won the 2000 Olympic gold medal (9.87). Despite an injury-shortened season in 2001, Greene remained firmly atop the world in the 100m that year, winning his third World Championships 100m gold…Greene suffered patella tendonitis throughout the season, and a quadriceps injury sustained during the world outdoor final affected his 2002 and 2003 seasons. in 2001 Greene also received recognition as USATF's Visa Humanitarian of the Year Award, in part for the work he does with the Maurice Greene Finish the Race Youth Foundation, which he founded in 2001 in his hometown of Kansas City, Kan. … Greene owns three of the four fastest times in history of 9.79 former WR, 9.80 and 9.82. He has run 52 sub-10 seconds 100 m races, more than any other sprinter in history. Added two Olympic gold medals to his five career World Champs golds at the 2000 Games in Sydney, winning the 100 and 4x100. With his medals around his neck, Greene was a contestant on the hit game show 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,' winning $125,000, half of which he donated to the United Negro College Fund ... got off to a quick start in 2001 by tying his WR for the indoor 60m with a time of 6.39 in the semifinals at the Pontiac Grand Prix USA Indoor Championships … presented the winner's trophy to Jennifer Capriatti at the 2001 French Open … threw out the first ball for the Kansas City Royals' home opener in 1998...started running track at 8 years old...coached by his high school mentor, Al Hobson, until he started working with Smith in 1996. Hobson blessed the change; says Greene, 'I contacted John because he is simply the best coach around," said Greene. "You only have to look at what he has achieved to know how good he is. I wanted to be the best and California was the place to make it happen' Web site: www.mogreene.com …1999 Jesse Owens Award winner.
