imPRESS Press on Manicure

I received the imPress nails as a free trial in a box of goodies from Influenster. I fell in love with the packaging immediately. How cute is it to have the nails in a faux-nail polish bottle?! Adorable. There were enough nails and sizes to allow two different people a one-time use of the nails. They're fun and easy to apply and come in so many different colors. You can find imPress Manicure at CVS, Rite Aid, Duane Reade, KMart, Walgreens, Walmart and more. For a full list of online and in-store retailers, visit imPressManicure.com, where you can download an exclusive coupon and virtually try on all the colors and patterns!

The Many Uses of Ivory

I received a complimentary bar of ivory soap from Ivory for testing and review as part of the MomVoxBox from Influenster. I had no idea there were so many uses for this little bar of soap! You can obviously use it for washing your body and face, but did you know you could also use Ivory bar soap as a clothes stain remover, laundry flakes, and most fun of all, Ivory fluff?! We had so much fun microwaving the Ivory soap bar to make the fluff....something I never knew could be done.....safely, lol. (this is my grandson playing with the "fluff")

I've always loved using ivory soap. (Was first introduced to it as a kid, my grandparents loved it too). I love the fresh, clean feeling and scent. I love that it's not perfumey like so many other bath soaps. I also love that it's a great value and get more soap for the buck! I will definitely be buying Ivory in the future. :)

Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies

I recently received a Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Raisin cookie complimentary for testing and review purposes from Influenster. I could barely get a bite or two off of it before having to hand it over to my son and granddaughter for their enjoyment. It was a very good cookie. I don't normally eat cookies with raisins, maybe cuz I've had in my head since I was a kid that raisins in cookies are "gross", lol. I got over it a little I think. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the cookie and wanted more right away. I'll definitely be buying them on my next trip to the grocery store, and I'm sure will continue buying them.

Be. Winery Update

I was so excited about this campaign. I've been able to work the locator fine, but like some of the other BzzAgents, I'm unable to find this product anywhere near my house in order to try and review. The closest location, according to the locator is 30+ miles away (two towns over), second nearest is almost 40 miles....then we jump from there to almost 300 miles away. Thanks for the little extras that came in the BzzKit, very cute, unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to try this product due to availability.

Be. Wines

I'm so excited that I've been selected to participate in this new Be. wine Bzz Campaign. I love the label design. it looks fresh and new. The cute little names, "Flirty", "Bright", "Radiant", "Fresh" should make it easy to pick according to mood, lol. Can't wait to get my Bzz Kit...may not. I may just need to try a glass, or bottle, this weekend. I'll be back later this month with my thoughts :)

Private Selection Follow Up

After receiving the coupons in the BzzKit for the free Angus meat and $ off of ice cream and pie, I went to my local Fry's store and purchased the Angus meat and ice cream. Our Fry's stores in the area no longer carry the Private Selection Pies, so I wasn't able to get that...a little disappointed, but oh well. I grilled burgers for my family lastnight, and to be honest, I really didn't care for the density or texture of the Angus meat. It was OK, but not near as much flavor or juicy-ness as our regular grilled burgers. The chips that came in the BzzKit had popped open during shipping, so we didn't try those. The ice cream was really good, but for being a store brand, the price should be lower than the name brand ice cream...that's just my opinion though. Overall will I buy the product in the future? Probably not. I may buy the small ice cream again, and I may try the chips in the future, but definitely not the meat. (I received these coupons through the Bzz Agent program...I'm a Bzz Agent) :)
