Girlawhirl's always heard about the wonder of SWAG – a.k.a. ‘stuff we all get' – and on occasion has been privy to receiving SWAG bags herself at an event here and there. Come awards show season, she's always amazed at what the stars really get, just for showing up, not to mention the backstage treats talk shows shower their guests with. Needless to say, Girlawhirl's super excited that she too can get the star treatment. Only she's got to bid to get her hands on the goodies given out at shows like the VIEW and at MTV. But when the money benefits great charities, she's ready to pay up…

Girlawhirl tries to give what she can. Whether it's to help food banks, people suffering from an illness, children's charities or trying to save the planet and its wildlife, Girlawhirl likes to help all kinds of organizations – a little bit here, a little bit there. But it doesn't matter where her donation goes today, one charity or one hundred charities; it's the amount of the gift that's her goal…

Girlawhirl thinks food drives are one of the easiest ways to make a difference. Not only can she get goods to someone who needs them, all she has to do to help out is shop her own pantry. And this weekend her task is made even easier thanks to the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. Girlawhirl can just leave her donations by her mailbox, and they will be happily carried away...

Girlawhirl was thrilled to meet up with a Super Pal after her big interview. But when her friend arrived, instead of the beaming smile Girlawhirl expected to see, her Pal seemed almost defeated. Fearing the worst, Girlawhirl waited for her friend to open up. It didn't take long for her to admit she thought she blew her big shot on one seemingly simple question: “tell us about yourself”...

Girlawhirl's always up for trying new products and cosmetic brands. When something turns out to be really great she gets so excited she can't wait to spread the word. But more than just the individual products, it's the positive principles, and philanthropic nature, behind her most recent makeup discovery that's really got her going...

When Girlawhirl's feeling overwhelmed at work, she feels as if she hovers above all the work and never lands on any one project. That's when she stops, takes a break to reassess where her workday is headed, and makes a list of what needs to get done. This always seems to work for her, but she's always got an ear open for more tips and time management tricks. When a Super Pal brought up the same problem at a recent gathering, everyone tossed in their two cents on how to turn a chaotic day into a productive one…

Though work obligations and an urban lifestyle usually keep Girlawhirl inside far longer each day than she would like, it doesn't mean she doesn't appreciate the great outdoors. When traveling for business or pleasure Girlawhirl likes to carve out a little time to explore the area on foot, and if she can hike her way through a park or forest trail she considers herself a lucky woman. With spring upon her, Girlawhirl can't wait to get outside and get moving. So to commemorate the first day of spring, Girlawhirl's going to give something back to the organization that helps make sure there are plenty of trails preserved for her  -- and generations to come  -- to enjoy...
