REPOST: Taco Bell Is Giving Away Free Food — Here's How To Get Yours!


PHOTO: COURTESY OF TACO BELL.

REPOST FROM Refinery29:

Hey there, taco lovers of America: we have some exciting news for you. On Tuesday, June 21, you can get a free Doritos Locos Taco from pretty much any Taco Bell across the country. Sometimes, free food is the best food.

How did this small miracle of free pseudo-Mexican food befall us, you ask? Thank the Golden State Warriors. 

Taco Bell and the National Basketball Association partnered up during the 2016 NBA Finals as part of the fast food chain's “Steal a Game, Steal a Taco” promotion, which promised to reward all of America with a complimentary Doritos Locos Taco if a team wins, a.k.a. "steals,” a road game during the NBA Finals. Last night, the Warriors secured an on-the-road win of 108 to 97 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. That, my hungry friends, means that you can secure a free taco. 

To get your hands on the free grub, simply visit any participating Taco Bell restaurant between 2 and 6 p.m. local time on Tuesday, June 21, and request a "free taco" at the register. And someone, please, pick one up for 35-year-old Army veteran Jake Booth. We think he'd appreciate it.

#STEALATACOEnjoy,

7/22 - Clueless at Refinery29! 20 Years of Being Clueless!








Wednesday, July 22, 2015 at 7PM



I don't want to be a traitor to my generation...
3-Minute Stories Dedicated to the Greatest Teen Movie of all.

Amy Heckerling’s Clueless had all the trappings of a '90s summer hit: Alicia Silverstone, Stacey Dash, and Brittany Murphy working mini-skirts and prescient girl-power (secretly fueled by Jane Austen), Paul Rudd planting trees and listening to complaint rock, a computer that helped pick out each day’s outfits, a soundtrack spanning from Coolio to Counting Crows, and some of the most quotable lines of all time. It’s a movie totally of it’s time—and yet, here we are today, still completely obsessed.

On July 22, join Vol. 1 Brooklyn and Refinery29 as we pay tribute to nostalgia of the most timeless variety with the latest installment of The Greatest 3-Minute Story series. We've asked twelve of our favorite writers to tell a story in 180 seconds—about the greatest teen movie of the 1990s. And, since it doesn't say RSVP on the Statue of Liberty, you don't need to RSVP here, either. Come one, come all!

REPOST from Refinery29: Ends 3/30 - 5 Days to Get the Limited Edition Starbucks Birthday Cake Frappuccino!


Image Source: Starbucks

REPOST from Refinery29, by Elettra Wiedemann: 

You Only Have 5 Days To Get Your Limited Edition Starbucks Frappuccino


I just received a Starbucks email announcement that took me on a major emotional roller coaster: Starting tomorrow, they'll be serving a limited edition Birthday Cake Frappuccino (yay!), which will be available for all of five days. Yep, you read that right — we're getting a Birthday Cake Frap, but only from March 26-30. It seems that Starbucks giveth, and Starbucks taketh away.

When you factor in the operating hours of the store, that gives us roughly 85 hours to take advantage of this. So, people, we need to get organized. While most of your friends will be talking about this tomorrow (when the special Frap is actually on sale), we need to plan ahead and set a reminder on our phones NOW. 

Will waiting in the inevitably insane lines be worth it, you ask? Well, if a vanilla bean and hazelnut flavor with "special raspberry whipped cream" (not to mention the bragging rights and enviable Instagram pics) isn't enough to tempt you, then I don't know what is. Also, it bears mentioning that this new flavor is being released in honor of the Frappuccino's 20th birthday, and my mom always taught me that it's bad luck not to eat birthday cake (or, in this case, drink it).


Happy 20th Birthday Frappuccino!

RECAP of Refinery29's Fashion Week Country Club!














Refinery29's Fashion Week Country Club, located at 82 Mercer Street, featured mini golf courses designed by designers, happened September 5th and 6th, 2014.  When you first enter, you are greeted by this beautiful rainbow lighting in the reception area, where you can borrow golf clubs for free to play in the different mini golf courses. 













Of course, what is a lounge without some free wifi? Free pencils and colorful golf balls too.















Here, you can take photos on the fake grass and the Refinery29 Country Club logo in the background.














The Snack Bar also has a beautifully rainbow-lit background















You can choose from pink lemonade, cucumber water, iced tea, as well as coffee and pretzels.















Ooh, I spy some kissing on the mini golf course...teehee
Totally did not see it when I was taking the photo, lol.



























The visors were free and came in red, green, blue and pink!















Looks like fun!



























On this mini golf course, you can see a reflection of yourself as you golf! 















These wavy surfaces make way for an interesting game.















Keeping score on the paper...















Blinded by the beautiful rainbowness of this one! 




























This one is quite reflective too!















Ah, where did the ball go?! 















This one looks like a spaceship...















The wall of Refinery29 NYC Fashion Pros















Refinery29 Country Club neon light sign!

I gave this look a shot. Notice there is a ponytail in this look - AH - my hair is not down! haha.















The profile view is a tricky one to align the head and body with.  Can you imagine if I faced the other way?! That would be kind of funny!















The issue of 7 outfits were placed here - if you want to take pics with these new looks - let me know!

 

There were a lot of folks who showed up that they ran out of the free visors!
