D&D Review: Kingston DataTraveler urDrive USB Software (Giveaway)
November 10th, 2011 by Christen
Thank you to Kingston for sponsoring this review. Please click here to learn more about Kingston. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective. All opinions are my own.
Looking for a way to stay organized while on the go? I’d like to share with you the Kingston UrDrive. Kingston provided me with an 8gb DataTraveler loaded with the urDrive software for review and it immediately let me know…this isn’t your grandma’s floppy disk! As a matter of fact, we’ve come a long way with how we store, transport and use data and now with the Kingston UrDrive – it’s completely revolutionized the way we view data even more! If you’re not too cloud-savvy (trust me, it’s so hard to put your faith in something that you can’t even see…) might I suggest taking a quick peek into the world of the Kingston UrDrive…(pay attention, because there will be a test and you could win a Kingston USB prize pack of your own…)
This cool little accessory can keep you completely organized on the go. The Kingston urDrive is a free, preloaded application for organizing and exploring apps, games, music and more!
It transforms Kingston USB drives into active storage devices instead of just the old way of using USBs for storage and data transfer. As a girl with hundreds of USBs floating around the home, I was completely impressed with how this device easily fit in and transformed my digital life. Upon opening the package and downloading the software (which took mere minutes) the software was launched AND Kingston gave me an additional 6gb of storage (backup anyone?).
PLAY a variety of games online or directly from the USB drive.
DISCOVER new apps and access them anywhere from the urAppZone.
PROTECT your PC with Norton PC Checkup.
The Pros
- Small enough to fit on a key ring for ultimate portability
- Additional storage available (up to 6gb)
- Great menu customization & organization options
The Cons
- The software isn’t Mac compatible
All in all the Kingston urDrive software is a great way for users to organize their files for on the go use. And if you’re anything like me with files and files and files of stuff – you could use all the help that you can get…
Kingston USB Prize Pack Giveaway
How would you like to win a digital storage makeover? Kinston urDrive is providing a USB 5-Pack Giveway to one lucky reader and they’re making it easy as 1-2-3 to enter!
1. Like DivasandDorks on Facebook & Follow DivasandDorks on Twitter.

D&D GIVEAWAY: Crazy Stupid Love (Blue-ray combo pack)
November 4th, 2011 by ChristenIf your idea of a relaxing Friday night includes a good movie, not just any movie, but a good romantic comedy – then this is the giveaway for you. DivasandDorks.com has partnered with Warner Bros to bring you a Friday night movie giveaway of CRAZY STUPID LOVE , starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone and more!
Synopsis:
Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling lead an all-star cast in Crazy, Stupid, Love. Forty something straight-laced Cal Weaver (Carell) is living the dream—good job, nice house, great kids and marriage to his high school sweetheart, Emily (Julianne Moore). So when Cal learns that his wife has cheated on him and wants a divorce, his “perfect” life quickly unravels. Cal, who hasn’t dated in decades, stands out as the epitome of un-smooth so handsome player Jacob Palmer (Gosling) takes him on as wingman and protégé, opening Cal’s eyes to the many options before him: flirty women, manly drinks and a sense of style. Despite Cal’s makeover and his many new conquests, the one thing that can’t be made over is his heart, which seems to keep leading Cal back to where he began. Brimming with inspired performances, critics are calling this gem of a romantic comedy “a movie that understands love” (Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly).

WIN A Cool Million With Tower Heist & Facebook
October 13th, 2011 by ChristenUniversal Pictures announced the launch of a first-of-its-kind experience integrated within the Facebook® platform in support of the studio’s upcoming action-comedy Tower Heist, starring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. Mirroring the story of the film’s characters who seek revenge on the Wall Street swindler who stiffed them, “Heist It Back” invites users to get their own piece of a fortune worth one million credits by hunting for “Heist” buttons hidden on Facebook pages and within advertising on Facebook. Tower Heist arrives in theaters on November 4, 2011.
The “Heist It Back” application rewards fans with Facebook Credits every time they click a “Heist” button, get their friends to join the heist, or share a story of how they got their own brand of payback. Facebook Credits may be used to acquire virtual goods, such as movies, game play or other items, in applications across Facebook. Interactive agency The Branding Farm and digital goods incentive technology company Ifeelgoods worked closely with Universal to conceive and execute the promotion, which is supported by online, on-air and in-theater messaging tied to the Tower Heist trailer and television spots.

August 18th, 2011 by Christen
Who doesn’t love to play dress up? On Fashion’s Night Out — the ‘Queen of Dress Up’ will host a social media scavenger hunt that could lead to a substantial fashion upgrade for your closet!
“As a doll that loves fashion, Barbie is allowing consumers to ‘shop’ her closet this FNO,” says Stephanie Cota, senior vice president for Global Barbie Marketing. In partnership with Alice + Olivia, Alexis Bittar, Tracy Reese and Rogan, a free Gray Line double-decker bus will chauffeur riders around Manhattan while they take in the labels’ latest collections. As the bus stops at the sponsors’ retail locations, participants can take part in a scavenger hunt. They have the opportunity to get dolled up, too: Each store’s signage will display a custom-branded QR code that, when scanned, will direct participants to barbielovesfno.com, where they can enter for a chance to win favorite fall looks.
