Nick Lachey. Give Before You Receive.

[Bradi Nathan]

So much to tell! I hardly know where to begin other than with saying, I eat too much when I work from home!!! Okay, that's out of the way. Thanks to all of the new Butterflies who joined MyWorkButterfly.com as a result of the Nick Lachey Auction that Butterfly is currently hosting. What about Nick Lachey you ask? Well, the handsomely sweet Nick Lachey is currently being auctioned off LIVE on MyWorkButterfly.com. For Real!! Now is your chance to bid on a Dream Date with Nick with a portion of the proceeds going to VH1 Save The Music Foundation. You can win this Dream Date (heavenly if you ask me) in LA, roundtrip tickets for TWO via JetBlue Airways to LA, a $500 shopping spree to Club Monaco, hotel accommodations for one night in LA and a gift bag from us! This is your chance to truly make a difference... to keep music education in America's schools. Please bid, tweet, post on facebook, blog or scream from your rooftop to help us announce this LIVE auction! We thank you ... the school children will thank you.

Next, I'd like to share a bit about this little interview we had with the fabulous Dina Manzo of Real Housewives of NJ. Who doesn't love a good housewife? She was sweet and soft spoken and even admitted to feeling bad for fellow cast mate and mom, Danielle Staub for having lost her childhood to abuse. Dina promises we are in for another fabulous season as she wrestles with the decision to leave her hands-on position as Event Planner in favor of her charity, Project Ladybug.

Diana Ross, friend and Publicist of Dina's, is hosting a benefit at her Town and Country Apocathery Fine Cosmetics boutique in Ridgewood, NJ on November 6. We do hope those moms in the NJ area will join us as we help to raise money for another good cause~ St. Joseph's Children's Hospital and children living with illness. Visit MyWorkButterfly.com Event's section for details.

Speaking of housewives, Jill Zarin of Real Housewives of NYC will be Butterfly's featured Mom Mentor during October. My big partner, Terry, had the pleasure of interviewing Jill in her Hampton's home this past summer, while meeting mom Gloria and other friends/members of Jill's outrageous circle. Some not so famous housewives are to be recognized on Butterfly as well. Meet Iris Shamus, creator of Allermates.com. Allermates is the first accessory of its kind that your child can wear to alert others to his/her allergies. Shop this newly released product by visiting Butterfly's Marketplace section where you will be given a promotional code for 10% off (for two weeks only) these life-saving products. If you are a parent, friend, aunt, sister of a child with allergies- now is your chance to worry just a little bit less. Next meet Shari Boockvar M.S., R.D., who just published her first book "How Austin Got His Muscles." It's a fun tale revealing the importance of choosing colorful fruits and vegetables. My own daughter mimicked the book and grabbed a "green" grape right from the fridge. Purchase at NutriFactsForYou.com.

Lots going on, online and off ~ We hope to meet some of you this Friday at the SuperMoms Roundtable event in Westchester, NY as we join Go Red and America's Heart Association to increase awareness and prevent heart disease in women. Or, at our Transformation Event that will be held at Dieci Lifestyle Spa in Livingston, NJ on October 22 offering Makeover Tips, Career Advice and More! Register by Oct. 18 for a chance to receive a free makeover~ Join in the excitement!
