CHEESE!!

So if you know me, you know that one of my weaknesses is cheese. Any kind of cheese, anytime. Well, thanks to Smiley360, I was able to try Boursin Garlic and Herb cheese for free. IT WAS AMAZING. It's creamy, yet crumbly, and tastes absolutely delicious, and addicting! We spread it on Triscruits, Garlic Herb and Olive Oil and Dill. I would absolutely purchase this again and again!

Back at it again!

Well, I definitely haven't blogged in awhile! I wanted to share this post because I received an e-mail from Influenster about the PUR Vox Box. I'm all about filtered water, so I was doing some research and saw this video by Arthur Tweedie. In it, he talks about how the PUR filtration system removes 14 contaminants. 14! That's crazy! And so gross. Take a look at the video below. I really hope I win a filtration system! #watercritic #contest

Review: Garnier Triple Nutrition Dry Oil

So, I recently got to try the new Garnier Triple Nutrition Dry Oil courtesy of Bzzagent! I hadn't heard anything about it but it is a new product and one of the only of it's kind available pretty much everywhere like CVS, etc. What's cool about it is that you can use it on your hair and your skin. I tried it first right after the shower, sprayed it on my legs (after shaving) and then put big warm comfy socks on. My skin was pretty soft after! I also tried it on my hair once, it's like a nice light spray that kind of refreshes your hair. It's not greasy which is nice, but if you spray it on the floor it will make it slippery! Try it out!

How To: A Great Manicure

In honor of my BzzCampaign for Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream (that I got for free!), I'm going to do a short post on how to give yourself a great manicure. Way cheaper than having it done at a salon. 1) Take off all existing polish. Watch out for any remaining clear polish. 2) Trim and file your nails. You'll need clippers and a nail file. 3) Soak your hands in warm water for five minutes. This gets your cuticles soft. 4) Push back your cuticles - to be honest, I don't do this all the time, but you can if you want to! 5) Moisturize your hands - use your Norwegian Formula Hand Cream! 6) Apply the base coat - 1 coat. 7) Wait for that to dry, and do two coats of your favorite polish. I love all of the gray colors from Essie and ELF right now. 8) Wait for the 2 coats to dry fully, then do one top coat. Make sure to get the edges and all around the top of the nail. 9) If you don't want to wait for your nails to dry, submerge them in ice cold water for 5 minutes. This dries the polish extra quickly. 10) When dry, take a cotton swab with a dab of olive oil and brush it on your nails. It will keep the polish from getting those weird little lines and dings while you sleep. Good luck!!

Oh how I love free things.

Everyone knows I love free stuff, and I get free stuff all the time. But this time, I got a free sweater from Old Navy. While the selection was horrid (only one sweater to choose from!), the one that was available is AWESOME. It's a cable knit black sweater, so warm and so comfy! Goes with jeans, dress pants, everything! A little big on me, but definitely keeps me warm, and the best part is that it was free. Already recommended it to some friends. The pics aren't the best but here they are!

Glade Expressions

So, I recently got to try the Glade Expressions Bzzagent Campaign. I actually had some of these in my house because I got them for free (with coupons!) but I hadn't actually tried them. Because I got into this campaign, I was able to get two more for free - the fragrance mist and oil diffuser. They come in a few great scents (Cotton & Italian Mandarin, Pineapple & Mangosteen, Lavender & Juniper Berry), but I bought the Lavender and Juniper Berry because I wanted it to be a semi neutral scent. These oil diffuser looks decorative so it doesn't just look like a sore thumb in the middle of the room. The fragrance mist is something that you actually have to spray to get the room to smell like the fragrance so I like the oil diffuser better but they are still great products! You can usually get these pretty cheap at Target, especially with coupons :) *Bzzagent provided these samples for free.

So, I got a new BzzAgent opportunity and this time it was Garnier BB Cream! It's a skin perfecting cream and honestly on the first day, you can see a difference. It helps get rid of blotchiness, redness, imperfections, etc. I really noticed a difference quickly. It's nice and light and doesn't get too bulky feeling or anything. My skin looks more even too. It's a tinted moisturizer so it gives you a little boost of color too, without being too overwhelming. I'm definitely going to keep buying this. *I am a BzzAgent and received samples and coupons
