Litterati – A Litter Free World with Perks

image

I first learned about Litterati while co hosting SFNewTech. They were one of the presenters. I thought to myself “Cool another water style campaign or  a Toms Shoes”. Its a bit more. More active,more social, and more responsibility.

Jeff Kirschner, founder of Litterati, had a simple idea; lets clean up the Bay Area and lets involve social media. The idea spread worldwide

I love it!

But since I am who I am I had to take it a step further ….I took it a step further as you can see from my personal Litterati, I took snaps of the action taken, not just of the litter.

I invite you to do the same!

The way I , ThatTechGirl, see Litterati!…..

First

  1. Spot Litter & Take a snapshot
  2. PICK UP the Litter
  3. Take a snapshot of you tossing the Litter in its proper place!

NOW Instagram & Tweet the heck out of it using the hashtag #Litterati

REPEAT!

Now you can feel good all day and spread the word!

Trust me the first time you do it, people WILL look at you crazy and some will ask what the heck are you doing? This is a perfect opportunity to build some instagram followers! 😉 Go build your followers as you clean your city!

Tag me in your post I want to join in on the action! Tag #ThatTechGirl & #Litterati

Technology of my Skin Care is Sun Protection

 

Face and skin secrets
Face and skin secrets

This post is not about a start up, coding, funding or disruption …..its actually about makeup!

I recently posted a picture of me attempting to do my own eye make up and was flooded with comments about my skin, so I thought I would post my response for everyone to see.

Makeup is fun, key, and a must for most girls….but not That Tech Girl!

Make up to me is simple and meant to highlight your beauty, not cover it up. I have done a 5 minute makeup routine for years! However I have realized that I should be prepared in the event I have to do my own make up for film and television so I have started studying on YouTube. I have been blown away with all of the talent sharing tips.

Film make up is completely different from day to day make up. I find many people don’t know the difference or perhaps they just don’t care. For a regular day- to- day- there- are- no- red- carpets- or- cameras- following- me look, LESS is always best! For a camera ready look you will always want to go outside of your comfort zone and PACK IT ON!

I know I know make up and Tech don’t really seem to fit but guess what…THEY go hand and hand.

Makeup is a form a technology, it is a tool used to get you from where you currently are to where you want to be. It is a tool used as real life social media. It says a lot about you whether you like it or not.

So to get to the point and answer the question proposed to me by a number of people…..

HOW DOES YOUR MAKE UP LAY SO EFFORTLESSLY AND WHY IS YOUR SKIN SO CLEAR???….

SKIN CARE IS SUN PREVENTION:

  • I wear SPF 70 or higher EVERYDAY
  • On cloudy or rainy days I drop down to SPF 30
  • I do not consume more than 30 minutes of direct sunlight per day
  • I do not sleep in make up…DO NOT DO IT
  • I do not drink alcohol
  • I do not smoke or hang around smokers…I avoid 1, 2, 3rd hand smoke whenever possible
  • I do not have direct contact with the sun longer than 5-10 min at a time.
  • I ALWAYS use an umbrella /parasol/EXTRA large brim hat if I must be out in the sun (I shop coolibar.com
  • There you go that is the secret!

I would love to here your skin care tips!
