Hey everyone! I recently attended the GBK and Bop and Tiger Beat Gifting Lounge for the 2015 Kid's Choice Awards. I had an amazing time and got to see some even more amazing products. I also caught up with my friend Luke Bilyk from the Emmy nominated series Degrassi. Check that out above, and be sure to keep reading to see everything I saw, and links on where to purchase some of my favorite products.
First up, who doesn't love themselves some Heelys!? I used to be the kid who was too scared to try them, but envied everyone who would gracefully, and sometimes not so gracefully, glide across the mall. Check out some of the new designs above. I have to admit, the black/red and black/blue one's on the left are pretty awesome. It was so cool to have a glimpse of my childhood when I first walked in. If you want pair of the new Heelys, go to their website www.heelys.com, right now! They're having a great deal where you can get 20% off your entire purchase.

One of my favorite products that I saw all day was actually a pair of headphones. I know, you're probably saying really, headphones? Well, take a look at them above and you'll see why I was obsessed with these. These wearable headphones are from a brand called AudioPark, and not only are they super stylish, but the sound quality is amazing! I would honestly wear these every day as an accessory, but the fact that they are headphones makes them 10x cooler in my book. Definitely a must have if you ask me.

On the left we have actress and model AzMarie Livingston, who you may know from FOX's hit series Empire, attending the event and supporting the Share Your Heart Foundation/Kids Helping Kids. This is a great foundation whose mission is to educate and ignite the youth of America to join the battle to help fight childhood cancer, taking a stand to not only treat, but cure the disease. The foundation raises funds through events and other creative avenues, and is also committed to bringing joy to the children by spending quality with them, hence the name Sharing Our Heart. |
Hanging out at the gifting lounge was such a fun experience, but it was definitely a hot one also! Thankfully, The Ice Cream Lab was there to save the day. This ice-cream is made fresh right in front of you and it is so cool to watch! It also tastes great. Check them out online and see where you can try their ice cream. |

Actress Viola Davis was also in attendance. Here she is supporting the mobile app, Stop Attack. Stop Attack was also one of my favorite things that I saw at the event. This app can save someone's life and I think that's so important. When the app is activated it becomes a virtual witness to assaults, whether they be verbal or physical. It captures audio and video of the situation and sends it to a cloud storage in real time. Damage to the phone will NOT affect the recordings already sent. Learn more; www.stop-attack.com |
Lastly, something that you may not know about me is that I really am into fashion and finding great, unique, pieces. I ran into this brand at the very end of my time at the gifting lounge and I'm so glad that I did. M the Movement is an eco-friendly clothing line designed by Simplicio Michael Luis Asis Herrera, better known as M. His clients have included everyone from The Black Eyed Peas, to Nick Canon, to Britney Spears.
I loved all the clothes I saw, especially the Love More t-shirts that came in white/gold or black/gold. I got mine in black and I think it's such a cool shirt and the quality is great. I can't wait to see more clothes from this line. If you want to pick up your own Love More shirt click HERE. I promise you won't be disappointed.

The GBK and Bop and Tiger Beat gifting lounge was a star studded event with guests such as Chloe Lukasiak of Dance Mom's, Kira Kosarin of The Thundermans, Luna Blaise from Fresh Off the Boat, and many more. Other brands like The Selfie Stick. Couch Potato, and Leap Frog, were also present. All in all, this was a great event, with great people, that made for great times. I had so much fun covering it and I have to say, it was one of the smoothest ran events I've been into in a while.
