Lane Bryant grand opening giveaways a winner

Today I decided to try my luck and check out a different store to see what they had for me.

Lane Bryant, the popular plus size store, just opened another store in Brandon, Fla. conveniently located at an outdoor shopping strip rather than in an indoor shopping mall. The grand opening started with a three-day celebration with sales and $25 gift card giveaways – 50 a day, five every hour. I had never shopped at Lane Bryant but thought the incentive was nice and I sure was in need of intimate apparel. I had nothing to lose.

We arrived in Brandon about half hour after they opened and were immediately greeted by the manager Sean who informed us to enter the $25 gift card giveaway. The first winners had not been picked yet. We browsed around and of course checked out Cacique’s exclusive intimate apparel section. About 11 a.m. I hear my name called out so I answer to the call out. Yes, I was one of the winners of the $25 Lane Bryant gift card. Another name was called out and for our luck it was my mom’s - two gift cards, okay let’s do it.
Back to the intimate apparel section but after all, the final decision was for the Cotton no-wire bra instead. I find the wire bras uncomfortable and after trying on the Cotton no-wire bra, I was pleased. And more pleased I was with the purchase outcome – buy one get second at 50% off ($29.50 for the Cotton no-wire bras we chose), using the Lane Bryant online August coupon deal and the gift cards. Our final purchase total was $17.95 for four bras.

So mission accomplished at Lane Bryant, thank you for the gift card giveaways and for our bargains!

The celebration continues this weekend until Sunday, August 18. Stop on by the Lake Brandon Plaza at 11225 Causeway Blvd. in Brandon, Fla. that is if you live close by. Or simply shop online and use the Lane Bryant online August coupon deal or whichever deal is being offered.

Half a year already done and what is to come...

Juanes Loud & Unplugged Tour in Tampa, Fla.
Another month done, half a year has flashed by my eyes so quick but with some amazing experiences. I went out of my music comfort zone and tried some Spanish rock, vallenato, and rap.
 
An unexpected invitation to join Spaniard Alejandro Sanz in Miami for a private interview and his concert later in the evening. Colombian rock singer Juanes and American-Cuban Pitbull gave much to buzz about in Tampa, Fla. which I hope is the start of many Latino entertainers making way once again into big venues in Tampa. A few road trips to catch Colombian Vallenato singer Carlos Vives at the Amway Arena in Orlando, Fla. and witness for the second year an array of celebrities and artists at Premios Juventud in Miami, Fla.

Tampa Bay Rays' Sam Fuld on the runway

 
Oh and coming from a baseball family, I was honored to join the Tampa Bay Rays team with their annual Rays on the Runway event to raise money for The Children's Dream Fund.
 
Looking forward to many more opportunities and experiences to share.
