Snazl Stories
A few weeks ago, Susan and I celebrated our birthday online with a party hosted here at 5 Minutes for Mom using a fabulous new tool called, Snazl.
Snazl lets users share multimedia, including video and pictures, live while interacting via chat in real time from multiple locations online.
We love Snazl so much, we are participating in Snazl Stories, an eight week long series showcasing the interactive partying that Snazl makes possible.
Snazl Stories is presented by e.l.f. Cosmetics, and Skimbaco Lifestyle and features eight bloggers: Consumer Queen, Extraordinary Mommy, Mommy Niri, Role Mommy, STYLEMOM, The Domestic Diva, and us, 5 Minutes for Mom.
Each of us will host weekly live shows for our communities to participate, interact, and party Snazl style — and each featured SnazL Story will be live broadcasted simultaneously at Snazl.com, eyslipsface.com and skimbacolifestyle.com.
So, for the next eight weeks, every Thursday at 2pm EST, we will be hosting our own live Snazl party here at 5 Minutes for Mom. Every week we will be chatting about a different theme — and we want YOU to join in!
How Can YOU participate?
Everyone can be an active part of a Snazl party. You can be as involved as you want to be! You can participate by chatting live via text, (you can come in your jammies, no worries.) If you want to get more involved, you can add your videos and photos to the Snazl during the live shows. You can also co-host the party by embedding the Snazl on your site. Yes, you don’t even have to come over here. You can host the SAME Snazl party from YOUR site! And if you really want to dive into the fun, you can host your very own SnazL Story! (And then the contest fun really begins!)
Yes, the best SnazLer of each week will win a FLIP video camera and the best SnazLer from August 10 until September 25th will win all expenses paid trip to New York City to co-host an e.l.f. Cosmetics party with me, Katja Presnal, at Affinia Hotel in October.
Each week we will also feature people from the community and their SnazL Stories!
Snazl Stories Contests!
BE CROWNED A ROCKSTAR SNAZLER! Win love (on 10 different top sites), an iPod Touch, and more…
Each SnazL Stories week runs from Saturday to Friday, and during that time the 8 featured bloggers, e.l.f. Cosmetics, SnazL and Skimbaco will be keeping an eye for the Rockstar SnazLers and their best SnazL Stories.
Each week three SnazLers from the community will be chosen as the weekly Rockstar SnazLers for having the best SnazL Story, and one will be picked as a Weekly Winner, and win an iPod Touch. All three Rockstar SnazLers will be featured on 10 different top sites- the 8 featured bloggers, e.l.f. Cosmetics, SnazL AND Skimbaco Lifestyle sites!
Three Rockstar SnazLers will be picked each week until September 27th until will have 21 finalists. We will pick the winner from the 21 and announce who it is on September 30th during our live show. The winner will be flown to New York City and will get many surprises during their trip and co-host an e.l.f. Cosmetic party with Katja Presnal at Affinia Hotel on October 6th.
How will we determine the “best”? The combination of these characteristics:
1. Your community’s involvement – how many people are attending your party and the conversation.
2. Your content – how good of a collection of videos, pictures, and audio you have and how they reflect your party theme.
3. Fun factor – forget about six flags – let’s make these parties worth at least.. seven flags!For more on Snazl Stories, you can head over to Katja Presnal’s site, Skimbaco Lifestyle.

Sounds like an interesting application!
Susan says
Hi Barbara,
I’m sorry for the short notice… we should have announced it earlier.
But don’t worry about getting much ready. If you want to record a quick video or two and upload it to YouTube you can then just add it to the SnazL now or during the party.
You won’t miss anything by partying on your own site. The party goes with you through the SnazL. The embedded SnazL brings the same videos and chat wherever it goes. So your readers will see the same content as our readers. It is very cool.
I hope you join in! Talk soon.
Barbar Platt says
Sounds fun and rewarding. I hope I can get it to work this time. One day isn’t much notice to get ready.
I am concerned about how we’re supposed to have a fun party on our own during your party however, then we will miss everything at your party. How will we know what is going on?
