FREE GIVEAWAY! Bossa Nova: The Official Superfruit juice
I don't know what an acai is, nor do I know how to pronounce it. Well, I didn't until I happened upon Bossa Nova.
What is açai? Açai (ah-sci-ee) is a rainforest berry - a small, dark purple fruit that grows on palm trees on the floodplains of the Amazon basin. Recent scientific study has earned it the enviable title of “world’s healthiest fruit” in part, because it is likely to be the world’s highest antioxidant fruit.Well, we all know that antioxidants are great (you know, the stuff that helps to inhibit premature aging,heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer disease by neutralizing free radicals?).
And this stuff is full of it. So it's good for you. But it also tastes great. The blueberry is my favorite. Check 'em out - you can find them in most grocery stores (I've seen them in Hannaford) or visit the Bossa Nova website for a list of retailers near you.
FREE GIVEAWAY!
Leave a comment (don't be shy, your information is kep private) and tell us which flavors you'd like to try. Five random readers will receive two FREE bottles of Bossa Nova. Hurry! Last day for entries is Friday, 7am EST.

Chocolate sandals? Yup!
You can't eat them, though. Well, I suppose you could if you really wanted to, but I'm sure you'd much rather wear them.
I just discovered these Pala chocolate sandals from Cobian. I had never heard of them before, but they have a fabulous selection of sandals for women, men and kids.
They've got a small selection of adorable shoes for girls and a little birdie told me that they're coming out with an even bigger selection for the fall, so be on the look-out. You'll want to be the first to grab 'em when they come out!
Grab these Pala chocolate sandals and many more Cobian footwear at Zappos.com. or check out Cobian's web site for local retailers.

My Arcona Hair Care Top Three
We've become huge fans of Arcona here at A Girl Must Shop. We just can't get enough!
Having most recently tried the Green Tea Cleansing Base Shampoo, Essential Nutrients Karite Conditioner, and Essential Nutrients Silk Leave-in Conditioner, I'm now a devoted fan for life.
The ultra-mild Hypo-Allergenic shampoo smells lovely and while it's not as thick as other shampoos, it gives a great lather and cleans with only one shot with means no rinse, lather and repeat!
The conditioner is fabulous - a little goes a long way and my hair is always smooth and shiny after my shower. Of course that could also be the leave-in conditioner that does triple-duty as a sun/heat protectant. Either way it makes my hair feel like it's been to a day at the spa - every day!
What's better than that? Get some for yourself at Arcona.com or find an authorized spa or other retailers in your area.

My new Hello Kitty debit card
For those of you who don't know - I'm a little crazy I am about Hello Kitty. Yes, I'm thirty-two years old and I have a plush Hello Kitty sitting on my desk? Well, this morning I was doing some research for work at Sanrio.com (I kid you not!) and I stumbled upon this here Hello Kitty credit card.
Now, I already have my very own Hello Kitty credit card (I get points!) that I picked up a little over a year ago (mine's pink and much cuter than this black one. But there's something new - a Hello Kitty checking account and debit card!
Imagine how thrilled I was to find out that this was through my bank (Bank of America) and that I could sign up with my existing account.
I was only the teensiest bit embarrassed when the gentleman on the phone asked what he could help me with. "Ummm.... I'd like to convert to a Hello Kitty checking account." He was very nice. Said lots of ladies have been signing up.
Yeah, but was every lady as giddy as I was knowing that a Hello Kitty debit card with my name on it would soon be in my hands? I think not!
Hello Kitty not your thing? No worries, Bank of America's got you covered with a whole selection of themes to choose from including Precious Moments, Anne Geddes, charities, professional organizations, colleges and just about any sport team out there.
Go get 'em tiger!

Take advantage of the virtual sale rack...
Pssst! There are some new sale items at b & lu!
Of course, I had to indulge (though, are you *really* indulging when you get a great deal?) I bought the Odetta dress and it's my new favorite item in the closet. It's 100% cotton, sunny yellow, retro, and a perfect a-line shape that flatters the best parts of my body. I love that it's a dress that's cute and has sleeves! No special bras needed here! At $34 it's a steal.
Check out the Francine skirt, too! For $15 I couldn't resist! The fabric is sooo soft -- and the skirt is fully lined which always makes the quality feel top-notch.
With so many great deals and stylish clothes, b & lu is quickly becoming one of my favorite plus-sized boutiques!
