R LOUNGE Renaissance NYC Hotel overlooking Times Square

Nivea's Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/NIVEAusa)---is the place to sign up for this consumer brand's Kiss of the Year contest-part of the Million Moments of Touch Movement-to get off personal electronics like smartphones, iPads...etc...and reach out and actually touch some one.

Fun...and actually a spot-on observation of modern lifestyles---Nivea invited the media to get the word out for this year's contest...which serves up a grand prize----to kiss right on the world's Nivea Kiss Stage-smack dab in Times Square- on New Year's Eve.

Very nice---hearing the inspiring stories of last year's winners-who included one couple who got engaged in front of two million or so BFFs...and another winning couple--- who shared the tale of welcoming the birth of their first child while simultaneously dealing with cancer treatments. WOW.

Also very nice----the celeb couple and judges (along with others)- Mario Lopez and Courtney Mazza giving a prep talk---  to launch the Kiss of the Year Contest...and offering encouraging words to contestants to conjure up compelling love stories. 

Three lucky couple finalists----get a lot of good experiences---including a stint on the Wendy Williams show...all expenses paid trip to NYC to get on the tv studio stage in a timely manner---VIP tickets to a Times Sq. New Years Eve party at The Hard Rock Cafe (that's right THERE)...and of course-the midnight smooch...on the Nivea Kiss Stage---

As if we didn't know---Nivea is the #1 lip care brand  in the world---with 15 products to choose from.

FYI: We asked if a 'natural' product line was in the mix someday---we think, would be popular too.
