Surprise! I’m California Dreamin’….

September 11, 2014 By Lena

Psst! I have a secret. It’s not a HUGE secret, but it’s a pretty AWESOME one.

I’m currently in Los Angeles! 

Yup, I’ve been whisked away for a very special assignment for Proctor & Gamble. As a #PGMom, you know I’ve received a few amazing perks over the years… well, none could be more amazing than this!

Now I can’t give away the details just yet, but think photo shoot. And modelling. And North American campaign. Told you it was awesome, no? Pinch me!

As soon as I can share information about the campaign, you know I will! In the meantime, I’ll be squeezing in some pool time today at The Standard Downtown LA, my home for the next three days.

The StandardWhat are the odds I can score one of those red private cabanas? Wish me luck!

I’ll be back home Saturday night and it’ll be business as usual… in the meantime, I’m going to order room service, head out to soak up the sun (and do a little shopping!) and of course, strike a pose. Have a great weekend friends!

    OMG! Please tell me you will be featured in a campaign. I am so excited, I can’t wait. Grab one of those cabanas and soak up the sun (now that song by Sheryl Crow is in my head).
