Delicious and natural gourment Cheese - Arla Dofino


I am so excited about Arla Dofino cheeses. This is a natural and amazing way to bring more cheese into the house! I don't appreciate processed cheese and the way it isn't as healthy as natural cheese, but with this cheese, I get the best of both worlds - it is natural and yet it is soft and spreadable on crackers and easy to use in recipes. It melts well and I have found that every single one of the types is a family favorite! How often does that happen?? My husband loves each flavor and my son even loved most of what we tried - and he is only two. I appreciate as a mom that it is hormone free and natural but has the consistency of a processed cheese and that is something my son loves. So thank you Arla Dofino for having a vision beyond the cheese that is currently available to purchase! You have found a place in our home permanently! I received this for free to try from BzzAgent but the opinions and excitement are all my own.

Coppertone Completely Sheer and Amazing!



I have been using these products for a month now and I am quite pleased. The main complaints I hear with sunscreen are too greasy, makes you breakout and hard to apply. The new Completely Sheer line of Coppertone Sunscreen products addresses these concerns and makes for a completely better sunscreen experience. I started with the completely Sheer for Sunny days bottle and was pleased that the scent (and it is really just a scent, not a fragrance) was understated and not gender specific! That is perfect for getting my son and husband to wear it. It really did absorb quickly and with no greasy feel. The texture was smooth and creamy as you can see in the picture here and I was really pleased.



I also applied it to my face and it quickly absorbed and left my skin matte and healthy looking. No grease and no pimples! And this was true after a week of wearing it every day much to my relief. I know I need sunscreen on my face but often avoid it due to fear of pimples. This product solved that problem for me. I also used the spray from this collection when I was heading out to the pool. Again, I loved the scent - nice and not very "sunscreeny" which was a huge plus. It applied very quickly and evenly which was really great. I hate taking the time to get every area of my legs and arms and back and still burning in places. This product was thorough, quick and even. I was amazed how fast I was done and on my way to the pool.



Both products worked well and gave me what I needed without creating a greasy nasty feel. I am very pleased and am now purchasing these products as a regular part of my routine for the day. I appreciate that coppertone produced two new products so that I can choose the best one for the day. There truly is nothing like these on the market. I received the products from Bzzagent but the excitement and opinions are all my own.

Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting Liquid



My skin has always had issues with uneven tone and small patches of acne. I was excited to use this product because the claims were that this would help banish those negative things and make my skin really clear. After using this product for several weeks, it really did seem like my skin was glowing and much more even in tone. Small patches of acne also cleared up. I really felt like my skin looked younger and more fresh and clean. I hope to keep using this product and continue to see improved skin and skin that stays looking great with the changing seasons. Thank you Paula's choice and Bzzagent for the chance to try this fantastic product.

Fiber One Protein Cereals Rock!!





This cereal is changing my life! I love to eat cold cereal in the morning and as a snack later in the day. I usually choose a cereal that is less healthy because I love that sweet taste and feeling like I am getting a treat. But I do question my choices and wish I could find a cereal that is not only really tasty, but healthy too. Well, this cereal is the answer to my breakfast prayers! It is really good. Just the right amount of sweetness without becoming too much by the end of the bowl. It tastes like a treat and not a health food. But on top of enjoying it, I know I am getting 20% of my fiber for the day and plenty of protein which is unusual in a carb! I am so excited. I can eat this stuff without feeling guilty. I received this from Bzzagent and Fiber One to try and I am now going to make it a consistent part of my life.


I was also able to try the Cranberry Almond version of this cereal. I love the health benefits of this cereal - a little fruit thrown in and still an excellent source of protein and fiber. I think the maple brown sugar is hands down my favorite, but this cereal has that same wonderful natural sweetness and an extra crunch of almonds with the granola. I am hooked on this cereal and will keep it in my pantry. It is a great, guilt free snack and a great way to start my day. I have felt like this cereal has improved my energy level in the morning and really kept me going until lunch. I haven't experienced that mid morning slump I so often do while eating this cereal. Definitely making this a new habit!
