Green Mountain Wellness Collection

About a month ago, I received a wonderful campaign from BzzAgent to try Green Mountain K-cups for my Keurig brewer. I love my Keurig and drink coffee from it every day, but what excited me about this campaign was the fact that these weren't your average K-cups. Yes, it was coffee and my favorite Green Mountain brand at that, but these K-cups have more to them! They are loaded with vitamins and supplements.

I was eager to try them and really not sure how they would taste. I was pleasantly surprised - no vitaminy or tangy taste to this coffee. The coffee tasted like I expect Green Mountain Coffee to taste - velvety and smooth and delicious. I was really pleased. What a great way to get some health value into my early morning routine.

The coffee itself is a smooth taste - mild and more light than dark. If you are looking for a bolder roast, you can adjust your Keurig to make a smaller cup. I myself like a more mild coffee in the morning. I found this a great way to use my Keurig to not only drink my morning coffee but to find some health value in my diet. I will continue buying these because it is an easy thing to do to give my body some nutrition! Everyone I have allowed to sample these over the past few weeks has also been impressed with the taste and flavor of this coffee. It truly is a coffee lovers dream - combining health with a nice jump start in the morning!

Old Navy Dresses!!

As many of you know, I am part of Crowdtap, the amazing panel that allows me to discuss all sorts of interesting topics and occasionally take part in a sample share from Old Navy. I received the most amazing sample share opportunity in these last few weeks from Crowdtap, courtesy of Old Navy to do a sample share with a friend and Old Navy dresses! Needless to say, I was ecstatic and so was my friend. We received our coupons and headed out for a girl's shopping day. We both had babies recently and we excited to leave those sweet babies with our husbands and just have some bonding time over clothes and good food and the ability to buy something beautiful with our POST-baby bodies.

We started our afternoon with a delicious lunch from Panera Bread and some great girl talk and scheming about which dresses we hoped to find and try on. We had accessed the link to Old Navy on the internet earlier in the day and both of us already had an idea about which dresses we couldn't wait to try on.

As soon as lunch was over, we jumped in the car and headed to Old Navy...some of the dresses were at the front of the store and we were so excited to see them and even some of the ones we had seen on the internet.

Old Navy always does a fabulous job of making you feel like you know how each outfit will look and what accessories will look fantastic with what you want to wear. What was really neat was that the fabrics on these dresses were amazing - I loved the soft knits and the jersey dresses immediately caught our attention. We both went thru the entire store to look at everything! And then it was off to the dressing rooms to try on our dresses.

We both had a couple dresses we liked and ended up buying the extra one and we also took a swing around the store to grab a couple of other items. Old Navy is on trend and so affordable!

It is hard not to get a couple of extra things whenever I make it in store. We both so enjoyed this experience and had a great time. It was amazing to bond over dresses and Old Navy! A great big thank you to Crowdtap and Old Navy for this amazing experience.

My skin journal part II

Well, I have now been using the Burt's Bees hydration line (given to me, FREE, courtesy of Bzzagent) for two weeks and I am really happy. This has been such a dry week in Colorado and my skin is acting like it is the middle of June! It is fresh and dewy looking and my makeup is not caking to my face like it usually does. What impresses me the most, is that this is such an easy line to use. There aren't 5 different products and waiting in between each one to apply. I simply wash with the amazing facial cleanser and then apply a night cream or a day moisturizer depending on what time of day it is. I am loving how wonderful my skin feels too. Nobody mentions how awful dry skin feels - they just notice how it looks. I hate that tight awful feeling when I smile. But that has faded remarkably in the past two weeks and I am really happy. Here is my newest picture to show how great my skin is doing! It looks younger and so much healthier.

My journal with Burt's Bees Intense Hydration line

Well, I started using this line given to me to sample courtesy of bzzagent for free about two weeks ago and I am late posting this journal, but here is what wrote and how it is going... Just starting this hydration line and so excited to maybe see these flakes of skin disappear. Here is my first picture before using any of the line and it's kinda hard to see my skin but my chin always has little flakes of skin that become even more prominent and nasty when I put makeup on. Sometimes I try leaving my makeup off that part of my face to hide my problem. But that just feels odd. So here's to hoping this journey is a good one.

SmartFoods

This is by far my favorite campaign yet that I have been accepted to promote for BzzAgent! I LOVE chips and I LOVE snacks! So I was delighted when I was offered this campaign. True to what I expected, these snacks are fantastic. And guilt free and actually good for you! I could go on and on. It is so rare to find a snack that has such admirable qualities. The most important aspect of any snack is the taste - if I am going to crave something, it has to have lots of flavor and be something I want to keep coming back to over and over. I think honestly, this is more important than any healthy aspect whatsoever. If I want a snack, it needs to taste great! So these chips pass that first test. But what makes them better than any other snack is that are indeed healthy. They are made with real herbs and spices to create unique tastes without as much sodium as some chips, and they are all natural and very light so that they are easier on the calories too. I think they were roughly 40 to 50 calories less per serving than most chips. That is huge! Almost 1/3 of the calories have been slashed from these chips.


The other thing that really impressed me was the fact that they have fiber! I don't know that many chips that have a reasonably high percentage of daily fiber in their chip. Since that is something that we all could use more of, how fantastic to be able to get a serving of fiber when snacking. There are even some vitamins and minerals in these chips! Win and win!


I am very impressed and would highly recommend this chip to anyone who enjoys snacking and even more importantly, trying to snack in a healthy way. These are tasty and lower in calories and fat than most chips. I thoroughly enjoyed this campaign and know you will enjoy this snack if you give it a try. Here is a picture of my husband enjoying his healthy munchies.

My Glade Expressions

When you go to enhance the smell of your home and to give it a fragrance that inspires and comforts, you don't always expect to have something that appeals to the eye as well. Glade expressions does just that! Both the spray and the diffuser come in a lovely style that actually add to the charm and beauty of your home visually as well as appealing to your sense of smell. I couldn't believe how pretty the diffuser was when I went to purchase this product. It is a gorgeous design offered in two different tones, creamy white and bamboo. Each of these is sure to compliment any decor in style.

Not only are these products made to enhance my home's decor but the scents are wonderful and fill up any home with amazing warmth without overpowering or being cloying. I had so many compliments on my home fragrance in the last month and so many people felt like the scent was homey and inviting. I love how it isn't too strong but it really does fill the room. I have never had a diffuser work so well - usually I don't want a diffuser in my living room and that is just where I put this particular diffuser. I felt safe with its no spill and beautiful design. And I was impressed that even tho I have a large living space, the diffuser successfully filled it with a lovely smell. I am so excited that I got to try this product free from bzzagent and that it works so well and is so elegant. I intend to purchase the other style as well as the other fragrances for year around appeal and fresh scent.

Final Days for a coupon!!

I just wanted to update you all on my campaign from Bzzagent with Covergirl and Olay that provides "Luminous coverage for ageless, radiant looking skin". I have absolutely loved using this stuff in the last month and recently posted a review of the product with my before and after pictures. I still have some coupons left if you would like to have one - just let me know!

This stuff has made my skin soft and it definitely looks younger and more radiant over all. I wasn't sure that a makeup product could cover and enhance my skin all in the same step, but this set of products has done just that! Over the last month I have used the foundation and the powder and both products are exceptional. The foundation provides a weightless and soft finish to my skin and eluminates as it conceals. Over the past month of wearing it, my skin has definitely healed and has fewer lines and wrinkles - this product seems to make my skin look about 10 years younger. I even got carded while wearing it this month!! That absolutely made my day!

I have also used the powder that corresponds with this foundation and I loved it! So easy to apply and it gave my skin a lovely matte finish without dulling my skin or falling into any creases in my face. It also wore well for the day! It didn't look tacky or blotchy by the end of an eight hour day! I say that is the best powder to be able to achieve that! I highly recommend this set of products! I know you won't be disappointed and your skin can only stand to improve with the use of these new and wonderful offerings from Covergirl and Olay.
