It’s going to be ChaCha big, so get ready to ChaCha cheer for your Super Bowl team!

Super Bowl 45 in Texas is Sunday February 6th at 6:30pm with the NFC champion Green Bay Packers versus the AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers vying for the title.

The Cowboy’s stadium wants to have the claim to fame of having the most Superbowl fans in attendance beating the 1980 record of 104,000 fans. With ticket prices starting at $2,300 and going to the crazy ChaCha price of $22,000 plus, the stadium will be selling $200 tickets to watch TV screens outside the stadium.

Now, I am neither a Packers nor a Steelers fan, but I hear that both of those teams have die-hard, loyal, crazy (in a good way) fans and they might want to pay $200. At least they will get to watch the commercials on TV like the other estimated 153 million viewers verse the fans inside!

In fact, the commercials are the excitement for me and of course seeing if my ChaCha favorites are playing like the Clydesdale horses for Budweiser or the talking baby from Etrade. Check out these past fan favorites at http://superbowl-ads.com/article_archive/

The show will start off with five time singer-songerwriter Christina Aguilera singing the National Anthem. Finally, a band that is not past its prime will be singing the half time performance and I am sure the Black Eyed Peas will rock Texas like an oil well exploding.

For any Steelers or Packers fans, we have ChaCha Rings in your team colors. You will be the talk of your party - all blinged out and ready to ChaCha Cheer. We can make any NFL, College, high school or public recreation team colors, just contact us.

In fact, the Suzanne ring is in Gator colors of orange and blue! Of course, that also works for other schools too. http://www.chachabella.com/store/home.php?cat=282

Get creative at your Superbowl party! If you serve something have a ChaCha fun name like Packer’s Potato Soup or Steeler’s Savory Shrimp Dip. Fill your clear vases with M&M’s in your team colors. Put a kids football on a kicking tee as your centerpiece. Have the men make paper footballs and have a little contest during the commercials for accuracy and length of flicking. Tell the women to make and act out a cheer from their past days in high school or college. Always have a signature drink besides beer and wine, such as ‘Packer’s Punch’ or ‘Steeler’s Stay Home tomorrow from work drink’!

Enjoy the game and may your team win! ChaCha Bella rings are always a winner!

To cut or not to cut?

That is the question every woman asks her hairdresser at some point in their relationship. I don’t know if I was having the winter blahs or just tired of looking at the same hairstyle for the past few years, but I bit the bullet and got some light side bangs. My one friend says, “Get Bangs, not Botox!”

Now every bride knows the cardinal rule, don’t change your hairstyle or hair color before your big day. You want to look like the girl that he proposed to, and be recognized by your friends and family as you walk down the aisle. But, after the nuptials, you have Cha Cha permission to change it up. For any Cha Cha girls out there expecting, you will also have a desire to go shorter. Don’t ask why, but it must have something to do with the fact you know you won’t have time to take care of yourself anymore!

Women spend so much time and energy on their hair. In fact, a Pantene survey in 2010 said 54% of us got madder at our hair than our significant other. Now, that is Cha Cha funny! According to a British survey conducted by Tresemme’, the average woman spends a staggering $50,000 on her hair over her lifetime. Between shampoos, conditioners, styling products, haircuts and for those of us that enhance our natural color, we could spend more than a $1,000 on our hair a year. Maybe Suave has the right idea, let’s just make it look like we spent a fortune on our hair!

But money is not the only significant investment we make in our quest for beauty. The amount of time we spend is also astounding when you add it up. ChaCha girls everywhere spend an average of one hour and 53 minutes a week washing, blow drying and styling our hair. By the time we reach the age of 65, we will have spent more than seven months of our lives on our hair! I have curly hair so summer time is easy for me, but when I have to dry and flatten my curls for a sleek stylish winter look or a fancy look, that is a solid hour I just lost. In fact, last time for a special event, I decided to pay my hairstylist $35 for her to do it and it lasted almost all week! My husband may disagree with my theory of money well spent, but he can blow his funds on items I interpret as a waste of mulah too. The real question is, “Will he even notice that I got some bangs?”

There are all kinds of tricks out there such as washing your hair the night before so drying won’t take as along, or purchasing the technologically advanced flat irons for wet hair. I have spent countless hours of my life watching infomercials on styling products and tools that can make my hair no fuss. The only thing I can count on besides death and taxes, is it my bangs will grow back if I hate them. Of course the question remains, how long until I cut them again!

If you recently changed up your hairstyle or donated your hair to locks of love, drop me a picture and you might win a ChaCha ring of your choice for changing it up!

What are you doing this weekend?

With 40,000 weddings each weekend, chances are you might be attending one, or even be the bride!

As the holiday season closes, more than 26 percent of marriage proposals occur from Thanksgiving – New Years according to a survey group from Modern Bride magazine. Maybe the grooms have a chance to meet the parents and ask “permission” to propose, or just being around family enhances their desire to get their own ball rolling. If you just got engaged, that is ChaCha fabulous, and now the fun begins!

As someone who was married when Pluto was still a planet, some things have changed and other traditional elements remain. The dress, photographer, band or DJ, invitations and flowers are the standard expensive costs. All the other accessories have increased ten-fold in choices. On average, US couples spend $19,581 for their wedding. However, the majority of couples spend between $14,686 and $24,476. This does not include cost for a honeymoon or engagement ring. Check out www.costsofwedding.com which as an amazing chart to help you think of everything you need.

Back in my day (you know when cell phones were the size of a 2 liter Coke bottle), having your name and wedding date imprinted on mint packs and almonds wrapped in tulle were the big party favors. Nowadays, the choices are endless. Just when I thought matches were not used anymore, they are featured by Martha Stewart’s wedding website as the cutest save the date invite with the phrase “See the Sparks Fly” and the date. In fact, there were so many choices of creative accessories to promote your wedding event, my head was spinning and I am thankful that I didn’t have to decide, or I might have had to elope!

If you have a themed wedding such a beach site or a winter wonderland, your favors may coordinate such as personalized lip balm or lotion. Nowadays, there are even eco-friendly wedding favors with biodegradable wedding confetti from www.beau-coup.com. I am a sucker for the wedding favor bag that you receive when you check into the hotel. I love seeing what the bride (and I guess to be politically correct the groom too) chose. From the wedding favors website, you can have personalized water bottles, decks of cards, stemless wine glasses, and even “meant to bee” personalized honey jars. The Wedding Favors company has a variety of choices in difference price points to meet all bride’s budgets for your shower and wedding. Visit them at www.weddingfavors.com.

It is Cha Cha mind-blowing looking at all the party favors and accessories for the future Mr. and Mrs. wedding couple of 2011. First for the honeymoon, start your morning off with a thirty dollar gift set from the Rosemary Company that has a “Wake Up and Smell the Coffee” set with bride and groom coffee mugs, Mr. and Mrs. Tote bag, and other morning accessories. For forty dollars, they have a “Batch of Romance” kitchen set with a newlywed cookbook, Mr. and Mrs. aprons, melt my heart ice cube tray, and a heart whisk.

Another Cha-Cha creative centerpiece for a less formal wedding can be using balloons and candy. The candy warehouse website has a variety of candy by color and theme. You can have each table with a different color and then coordinate the place-cards by color. Or, stick to the same color for a classy uniformed look but use different types of candy in glass bowls and old apothecary jars with lids.

If you think you have the cutest wedding favor or save the date idea, let me know and you can win the best bridesmaid wedding favor of all, a ChaCha ring in a color of your choice!
