Carrie’s co-workers, Theresa & Brian, think she’s an amazing mother and they both nominated her to win a VIP Pink Bowl. After hearing her story, we completely agree that this Super-Mom & CEO is pink-bowl-worthy. Here’s what Theresa & Brian had to say:
Name: Carrie How many children does she have, and how old are they?
Two girls: Charlotte (9) and Kate (6)
What makes her a great mom? Theresa: She is so much more. She’s an entrepreneur, a business leader, and a role model.
When Carrie had her first daughter, she was a very successful sales manager, working more than 30 miles from home. She’d get home at about 7:00 at night, just in time to tuck in her little girl in. One day, when Carrie was dropping her off at daycare, her daughter grabbed onto her leg and said, “Please Mom, don’t go.” She didn’t. Carrie resigned the next day, and asked a current client if she could consult for them on the side around social media. They said yes. It was a drastic lifestyle change, and significantly less money, but Carrie was thrilled to have more time with her daughter. Carrie’s little consulting gig turned into a bigger consulting gig, which turned into Likeable Media, one of the fastest growing social media firms in the country.
She’s even spoken out about the career vs. family debate in the media, providing her own wisdom. As one of her employees, and a young woman struggling with fitting career goals into life plans (and vice versa), I’m personally inspired by her every day.
Brian: Carrie is an amazing mother who is also the CEO of Likeable Media… Likeable now takes up an incredible amount of her time but she leaves the office by 5:00pm in order to cook dinner and spend time with her two girls. She encourages her daughters to be entrepreneurs through the creation of CKLemonade which has been featured in the Port Washington Patch. She is the Daisy Trooper Leader for Troop 483 in Port Washington when she isn’t running one the fastest growing companies in New York City. She also treats all of her employees as family, creating an amazing atmosphere here at Likeable!
Why does she deserve a VIP Pink Bowl? Theresa: Because she’s a very important person, of course! Not just to her girls, but to all of her Likeable family members and fellow women in business. She’s been an incredible example of the importance of putting yourself first and focusing on building a healthy, balanced life — and she needs something cute & girly to carry her healthy food in!
Brian:Dave Kerpen, her husband, has one and he won’t share. As much as she loves her orange bowl she would do anything for a pink bowl!

Meet Mary, our first Mother’s Day Customer Profile feature! Her daughter, Dana, nominated her to win a VIP Pink Bowl, and based on what she wrote, we think she is 100% pink-bowl-worthy. Here’s what Dana had to say about her mother, Mary:
Name: Mary How many children does she have, and how old are they? Three children: 27 boy (engaged), 24 girl, 21 boy
What makes her a great mom?
Mary, where to begin? My mother is the most selfless woman I have ever come across. She puts so many individuals before herself, always makes her three children a first priority and never ever complains about the workload that she faces on a daily basis (work, cooking, laundry, etc.). Mary has a glow about her that nobody can ever replicate, and her positive energy is contagious! She has raised my brothers and me to be hard working adults who maintain a strict set of morals and a strong ambition to succeed.
My mother lights up any room when she walks in, and always draws a crowd. Her smile, her laughter and her humor are amazing! Needless to say, she can bust a move like no other mother I have ever seen! This woman can “Dougie” better than any person at a NYC Club! Ultimately, being the only girl of three children I have found not only a friend in my mom, but a best friend and an idol, and that is was makes her so GREAT!
Why does she deserve a VIP Pink Bowl?
My mom deserves a VIP Pink bowl because she is a Very Important Person in so many peoples lives! My mother is super health conscious and loves that Just Salad offers healthy choices AND a calorie counter on their website. Mary enjoys her spin class 6 days a week and leads an extremely healthy lifestyle by eating at Just Salad on a weekly basis. She loves salads, salads and just SALADS! Mary recently turned 50 and she is more FABULOUS than ever, and I think a Pink Bowl will make her feel even more special! I would love for my mother to have a VIP Pink Bowl to make her feel special and Pretty in Pink!

Whole wheat croutons, because they are appealing to most salad eaters and provide a nice crunch to change up the typical texture of salad Why should you get a VIP Pink Bowl?
I should get a VIP Pink Bowl because I am an avid ‘Just Salad’ consumer who maintains a deep love for anything PINK! Being a vegetarian it is super difficult to find a consistently clean and healthy place to purchase a salad, so with the bonus of also offering vegetarian soup options, Just Salad has changed my life forever! The convenience of having a Just Salad right around the corner from my apartment in Murray Hill, NYC caused the criteria for my new apartment search to include a conveniently located Just Salad (Note: this was accomplished!). So, although I enjoy my green reusable bowl, I think it is much more beneficial to “Go-Green” in style, with none other than a girlie pink bowl!

Cranberries because I’m sweet and tart! Sweet once I have my Just Salad and tart until I get it. Why should Julie get a VIP Pink Bowl? Julie is an inspirational woman with a great achievement in health transformation. Only a few years ago Julie was overweight and now she is a great model of healthy living. As her friend, and a woman who has struggled with weight, I know that weight loss maintenance is the biggest challenge. Just Salad has been instrumental in Julie’s maintenance and also converted me into a Just Salad customer.
Julie eats Just Salad eight times a week and in doing so has maintained a 45 pound weight loss since 2007. She’s happier , healthier and looks fabulous. Using Just Salad as an integral part of her new healthy lifestyle, she never feels deprived of foods she loves.
The quality, selection, convenience and consistency of Just Salad are unparalleled. The ingredients are always fresh and the variety of food leaves you with nothing to want for. Julie’s special treats are the figs and brussels sprouts. She orders from work and home online with only a few clicks. The delivery people are always friendly and timely. When she does visit the stores, the customer service is always pleasant.
During Julie’s weight loss and maintenance, she has tried many salads at many restaurants and stores. They simply don’t match up. Just Salad has become Julie’s trademark in her office as many of her colleagues are now customers. She proudly keeps her bowl at her desk and now our office lunch meetings always include Just Salad orders. Even during a stressful work day, Just Salad makes Julie happy because it tastes great and nourishes her body.
She is a Just Salad ambassador and deserves the Pink Bowl .
