Announcement: Erica Diamond New Spokesperson for Microsoft Office

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

I have been keeping this under wraps for some time until I was given the green light last Friday. Yes, I actually became a Spokesperson for one of my FAVORITE THINGS of the past 13 years… a definitely cool thing. So, since I haven’t gone one single day without using Microsoft Office since I started my first business in 1999, it was only fitting it belonged here, as one of Erica’s Favorite Things.

Perhaps you have been using Microsoft Office like me for many years, or perhaps you’re just getting started. If you have never heard of Office, maybe you’ve heard of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote. Yup, as a businesswoman and mom, these are some powerful and useful programs I simply cannot live without.

#CyberMonday: Keurig K-Cup Carousel – A Display of Pretty

Monday, November 28th, 2011

It’s Cyber Monday girlies, which means online sales galore! There really isn’t anything I’ve wanted or needed. I’m not jumping up and down for Louboutins which are reduced from $700 to $595.

But, there is this one thing I’ve had my eye on. I keep seeing this Keurig display carousel on TV commercials and I’ve wanted it.  My readers know I live for my Keurig coffee machine, but those Green Mountain K-cup boxes look so unattractive on the counter. I wanted something pretty, and lord knows, I was going to find it! So, I cheated on Cyber Monday, and instead if buying online, (I just needed that instant gratification), I went out to buy it! I just got home from Walmart.

So, I have a new favorite thing. Isn’t it pretty in my kitchen? Lol!

Share An Inspirational Message Via Kleenex.com

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

If you’re a new reader, I announced last month, that I am a Brand Ambassador for Kleenex.

When I got the opportunity to marry two things that I love, Kleenex and Oprah, I was thrilled. In honor of Kleenex‘s softest and newest tissues yet Kleenex Cool Touch, Kleenex kicked off their Softness Worth Sharing Movement at The Oprah Winfrey, O You! Conference in Atlanta, last month. As an inspirational Top 10 Brand, the strategic move to launch Kleenex’s softest tissue ever, Kleenex Cool Touch, at an inspirational conference, using me, an inspirational blogger as the ambassador, proved to be fantastic.

So now, with cold and flu season upon us, I definitely have a new favorite thing! New Kleenex Cool Touch tissues are the ONLY tissues that release a cool sensation to soothe a sore nose when you’re sick. My husband had a very bad cold last week, and he couldn’t believe what a difference it made! The unscented tissues are enriched with cooling moisturizers and aloe, and actually release a cool sensation on contact. Your own body heat activates this special ingredient in the tissue which creates the cooling sensation. It’s really cool – you must try it!

Drink To Your Health With David’s Tea

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

So it’s a rainy rainy Monday night here in Montreal. My husband is away on business. Kids are now asleep. And I have been wanting to tell you more about some of my favorite things. Finding the time has been the hard part! :)

In the midst of everything, I’m co-chairing a big charity benefit tomorrow evening for 600 women. And I feel like I’m getting sick. So I’m drinking my tea to stay well tonight. My David’s Tea.

If you follow me on Twitter, you know I often tweet about this company- @DavidsTea. Their beautiful store is just down the hill from my house, and I’m a regular visitor.
