What’s a ChaCha?

Recently, I was looking through my ULTA beauty magazine and saw an ad for Benefit’s ChaCha tint, a mango-tinted lip and cheek stain which is sheer and sexy for a tropical flush.
It retails for $29 at ULTA. This product started me thinking, what else uses the ChaCha name and what does it all mean? (See, my ChaCha blog inspirations come from anywhere!)

Did you know there is a search engine called ChaCha? It began in 2006 in Carmel, Indiana. The name ChaCha comes from the Mandarin Chinese which means "to search." One of their sources they use are ChaCha guides and this was the requirement: "ChaCha Guides are curious, professional, Internet-savvy people, just like you, who enjoy learning new things, sharing their knowledge with others, and being part of a fun, diverse community. Sharp minds are important, but you do not actually have to be a ‘know-it-all’ to be a Guide."

If I replace Internet-savvy in that description with fashion-savvy, girlfriend-savvy, and just plan super-savvy and you have a ChaCha girl!

OPI nail enamel has a color called Cha-Ching Cherry. This makes me think of a casino slot machine where you want three cherries in a row! That would be ChaCha lucky.

Now, who hasn’t heard of the famous ChaCha slide song and dance by Dj Casper:

To the left, take it back now ya’ll
One hop this time, right foot let’s stomp
Left foot let’s stomp, Cha Cha real smooth...


Heather aptly named her company ChaChaBella after her two sons, Chase and Chandler. The Cha from the beginning of each of their names and since she had two twin boys, she needed and wanted a little (ok, a lot) of femininity in her business. Hence, she added bella, which stands for friendships, beauty, and of course sparkle! And actually, in many Spanish speaking countries, ChaChaBella means Beautiful Girl – PERFECT!
