My Time as a Hansen's Social Media #StyleSuite Correspondent at BlogHer12 {Case of Hansen's Soda Giveaway!}

As BlogHer tends to be a whirlwind every year, it didn't surprise me that 2012 wasn't any different. In fact, the five days that I spent in New York City somehow seemed an even more chaotic jumble of activities, speakers, parties, cabs, walks, outfits and delayed flights home than usual.

While The Big Apple is, without a doubt, an absolutely incredible city...

New York City

...is it really any wonder that, after going, going, going from early morning to late at night, I feel as though I might need to sleep for the next few weeks to fully recover?

With that said, out of all of the fun events that I attended this year, one of my top few favorites was the third annual Style Suite, hosted by Savvy Sassy Moms and Momtrends. Aside from being extremely stylish themselves, Andrea and Nicole know how to put together an amazing party!

While I was looking forward to seeing the gorgeous CAbi Clothing and the Stokke baby products represented, I was also excited about the opportunity to sample and learn more about a third sponsor: Hansen's Natural Soda.   

Hansen's logo

Known for saying goodbye to high fructose corn syrup and hello to real cane sugar, Hansen's Natural Sodas have always been free of preservatives, caffeine, sodium, artificial flavors and colors. After hearing that there are 30 real fruit and spice soda flavors of Hansen's Natural and Diet Sodas, I couldn't wait to give one a try (as well as see the reaction of others) at Style Suite.

I knew that the Penthouse of The London Hotel was going to be gorgeous...

...but stepping into a beautifully decorated room and finding Hansen's was the perfect accompaniment to the breathtaking view.

 As well as the adorably fun decorations...

Hansen's Natural Sodas

...there were plenty of Hansen's samples to go around. The hardest decision was figuring out which flavor to try!

The reactions to Hansen's was overwhelmingly positive from all of the bloggers that came by...

Thanks, Liz and CanCan!

...and, along with the great tasting flavors of Hansen's on their own, I loved that they offered unique and inventive recipe ideas to turn a can of soda into Sparkling Ginger Ale Lemonade, Tropical Citrus Punch and more!

Hansen's soda recipes

Talk about perfect for a party!

With options (regular and diet) including Cola, Mandarin Lime, Creamy Root Beer, Kiwi Strawberry, Pomegranate and many more, Hansen's Natural Soda has the exotic, spicy, tangy, tart or sweet flavor that your whole family is sure to love. Considering that it is free of all of the preservatives, caffeine, sodium and high fructose corn syrup that traditional sodas include, there is no reason to not crack open a tasty can of Hansen's instead!

Hansen's products are currently available at local grocery outlets, corner convenience stores and other participating retailers as well as online at Amazon.com. Plus, thanks to their generosity, one person will soon be sipping the sweet flavor of real cane sugar as well, because...

One lucky person will win a case of Hansen's Soda!
