Red Baron Brick Oven Pizza

 

Who doesn't love a great pizza? Most people do and finding the same great quality in frozen pizza as they do with fresh pizza is hard to find. When I received the offer from being a BzzAgent to try Red Baron Brick Oven Pizza, I knew I had to try it. My youngest daughter loves the simplicity of being able to pop pizza in the oven and was more than willing to help me with the taste test. When we arrived at our local grocery store there were 4 different varieties to try; plain cheese, pepperoni, pepperoni and sausage, and sausage supreme which had green peppers and onions along with sausage. We opted for pepperoni.

The directions on the box were the first things we noticed. Simple in the best format I have ever seen. Not hard to follow at all.

The time was pretty standard at 17-20 minutes so we opted at 18:30 as a middle ground. You have the option of setting it on the oven rack or baking sheet, and we did the baking sheet.

18 minutes and 30 seconds later, we have a great looking pizza that smelled heavenly. The pizza crush was nice and crisp, which is something I had usually found lacking in frozen pizza's. Just the right amount of sauce and cheese rounded out what I would call a pretty great tasting pizza. My daughter rated it a 4 out of 5 and I would have to agree with her.

In fact, the best thing was picking up so more pizzas when we hosted our family dinner night on Wednesday night. We invited friends and family for a night of food and fun, and these pizza's were a hit to the 6 people who showed up. We didn't even tell them they were frozen until after they had begun to eat them. Almost everyone was pretty impressed that these were frozen pizza mostly because of the crunchy crust. I even passed out two coupons I had for $1.00 for those that wanted to pick these up for home.

I would love to see more toppings added to the pizza which would be my only issue with them. You could always keep some spare toppings on hand and perhaps even hosting a pizza party and just pick up the plain cheese pizzas. Overall, I would rate these a 4 out of 5 stars in my opinion and for a easy meal when you're craving pizza, these are perfect to keep on hand in your freezer.

Neutrogena Triple Repair Hair Products Review

Not too many people that I know have found a shampoo, conditioner or leave in product that does what it claims. Neutrogena's launched a new product line called Neutrogena Triple Repair which features a shampoo, conditioner and leave in product that is proven in 80% to mend split ends, strengthen brittle hair and protects from breakage for dull and damaged hair. But does it work? Here's what I discovered as a BzzAgent that sampled full size bottles of all three.

Neutrogena Triple Repair Shampoo. It claims to be clinically proven for 80% stronger hair.
PROS: Nice fragrance, great lather, safe for color treated hair, great size for travel
CONS: Small bottle size 8.5 oz for every day use.

Neutrogena Triple Repair Conditioner. 8.5 oz. for dull and damaged hair.
PROS: Great fragrance, coats hair well, very thick for a conditioner, rinses out well.
CONS: Have to use quite a bit to work effectively, and need to leave in for a few minutes to work. Once you rinse it out, hair still feels very dry.

Neutrogena Triple Repair Leave-In Treatment. 5.1 oz for dull and damaged hair.
PROS: Great fragrance, easy to apply.
CONS: Leaves hair feeling heavy and greasy, after drying hair still feels dull and lifeless.

Overall comments: I would have a difficult believing the claims of this product. As a 50-year-old woman with color treated hair, this actually made my hair feel worse. After using the product for 3 days, I hated the way my hair felt. It felt dirty and in need of re-washing in part based on the leave in product even though I used a very small amount. I could finger style it and it would stay. The only upside to this product line is that even though I have been losing quite a bit of hair due to breakage when I blow-dry it, I did notice not as much after using the product. I would also have a hard time paying for the product in such small containers So overall for me, this product rated a 1 out of 5 stars in my opinion. While the product may work to reduce breakage, if you aren't happy with the way your hair feels afterwards, it's not worth it..

I received these Neutrogena Triple Repair Product samples compliments of Neutrogena and BzzAgent for my honest review. I did not receive any monetary compensation for a favorable review and the opinions expressed in this review are strictly my own.

Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Insoles Product Review

It seems that the older I've gotten the more I notice when my feet feel achy and tired. I've tried all kinds of different shoes, padded socks and arch supports to relieve the pain that often accompanies my feet at the end of a long day.

When I got the opportunity to review Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Insoles by being a BzzAgent, I have to say I was more than a little skeptical. I mean seriously just how good can they be? I also wondered how just adding something to the inside of my existing shoes would really feel and if they would feel strange or uncomfortable.

When the package arrived I noticed that these insoles were designed specifically for women, not a generic one size fits all. These were geared for sizes 6-10 and the instructions inside the package were easy enough to follow. Simply remove the insoles if possible in your current shoe and cut to fit. I actually cut mine a little smaller than my current shoe and insert them into the shoes I wear most of the time. The rubberized gel sticks perfectly to the inside of your shoe and doesn't move around or bunch up.

At first, they felt a little odd since they increased the padding on the bottom of my shoe just a bit. But honestly after a day or so, I didn't notice a difference in the fit.

What I did notice is just how plushy and comfortable they made me feel in all the walking I was doing. There is ample padding on the heel of the insole which is where I needed the most support. After just a few short days, I did notice a huge difference in the way my feet felt. I wasn't feeling as sore and in fact, loved wearing my shoes more, even despite the hot summer temperatures because of the softness and cushion they offered my feet.

I can honestly say, I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a way to add more cushion to your shoes and relieve your achy feet from all the standing and walking you do. These will work in all kinds of shoes, work boots, or sneakers. I'd recommend putting them in the ones you were the most.

The best part is that if they don't perform as well as you'd expect, Dr. Scholl's offers a full replacement or refund. For me, that's a win/win!

I'd easily rate these a 4.5 out of 5 stars and have purchased an additional pair to put in my other work shoes so I don't have to take them in and out as I need to change shoes.

I received Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Insoles compliments of BzzAgent and Dr. Scholl's for my honest review and received no monetary compensation for a favorable review. For more information about Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Insoles visit your local retailer or their website by clicking here. 

Cafè Escapes - Product Review

What is your favorite way to escape? Some would say to fly away to a deserted island or simply a chance to do nothing all day, however few of us actually can do this. I've come across a simply easy way to take a break in the middle of a busy day, and incorporate something soothing such as a nice hot beverage and dessert all in one.

Introducing, Cafè Escapes for your Keurig!!! There are six different varieties to choose from, Chai Latte, Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa, Dark Chocolate Cocoa, Cafè Vanilla, Cafè Caramel or Cafè Mocha. These are best enjoyed when brewing in your Keurig using the 8oz option, but since I love a larger cup of anything, I opted for the larger cup. The best part is that they are only 70 calories of warm liquid enjoyment.

You can find these at your local retail stores or grocery stores everywhere and you can learn more online at CafeEscapes.com, GreenMountainCoffee.com and Keurig.com.

Since this arrived in the mail yesterday, we were anxious to try them and each member of my family grabbed their favorite. I opted for the Cafè Caramel, my hubby opted for the Cafè Mocha, and my youngest took the Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa. Since the Keurig makes it so easy to make all these with little fuss, it was fun to sample them all. My daughter commented that the Milk Chocolate tasted so creamy that it seemed like it was made with hot milk instead of simply the hot water in the Keurig machine! She gives it a thumbs up and when I asked her to rate it on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the highest, she gave it an 11!

My opinion of the Cafè Caramel was simply delicious. Besides the enticing aroma that smells delicious, the flavor was buttery and sweet just like I had personally melted caramels right into a hot cup of coffee. My rating a perfect 10!

Hubby tried the Cafè Mocha and said it was fine but preferred his traditional white chocolate blend over all. He commented that it was a bit bitter, but remedied that with a touch of sugar in his cup!

Over all, my family gives this a wonderful rating and since we are out of our samples, we will be using our $2.00 off coupons to pick up our favorites! With snow coming this weekend, I can't think of a better way to spend a little family time together with our favorite hot beverages!! It truly is like drinking your favorite dessert in a cup!

I received Cafè Escapes compliments of BzzAgent for my honest review and have already restocked my pantry with our favorites. These hands down for my family rate a perfect 5 out of 5 stars in our book!

Coricidin HBP Cold & Flu Product Review

Did you know that...

67 million Americans have high blood pressure...

But not all high blood pressure sufferers understand the potential impact decongestants can have on their condition. If you have high blood pressure, choose your over-the-counter cold medication wisely. Coricidin^® HBP provides powerful cold relief without raising your blood pressure. Each of the six products is decongestant-free. They are safe and effective for the treatment of cold and flu symptoms when taken as directed. All six Coricidin HBP formulats are decongestant-free and safe and effective for the treatment of cold and flu symptoms when taken as directed. It's the #1 pharmacist recommended cold brand designed for people with high blood pressure. A cold shouldn't get in the way of managing your or a loved one's blood pressure.

If you're like me and with the cold and flu season under way, you are concerned with the number of products on the market dealing with relieving runny nose, sneezing, body aches and pains and fever all without the added risk of raising your blood pressure. I was super excited to receive Coricidin HBP Cold & Flu to try compliments of simply being a BzzAgent. I've been diagnosed as having high blood pressure already and the last thing I need to do is to take a product that could potentially raise my blood pressure more.

With our cold winter weather setting in, I developed a cold and in the past have had to deal with products that offer less than promising results. Either they don't work on the symptoms or I have to deal with the racing heart and jitters that usually accompany most over the counter cold medicines. Thankfully Coricidin offers the best of both world in my opinion. Not only does this product deliver as promised, I don't have the side effects of the racing heart and jitters. I am able to find a cold product now that delivers what it promises. Since there are six different ones, I can tell you, it gives me hope the next time a cold or flu strikes my own home. Normally you go around feeling overly medicated but not in this case. I can personally tell you that it works!!!

The best part is that this product is available over the counter and at your local drug store or retailers without a prescription. Finally a product that doesn't over do it when it comes to cold or flu relief. I plan on keeping this in my medicine chest for when the next cold or flu strikes my family. I received this product compliments of BzzAgent and Coricidin HBP for my honest review and this one gets a 4 out of 5 stars.

Burts Bee's Intense Hydration Natural Face Solutions

Ever since I had the opportunity to test any Burt's Bee's products, I immediately get super excited as a product reviewer, a BzzAgent and as a mom of two extremely busy teenage girls. They swear by the products, whether it's from lip balm or lotion, I have to hide it otherwise it will sprout legs and disappear usually into their hands.

So when I told the girls, 19 and 13, that I would be testing Burt's Bee's Intense Hydration product line, they wanted in. What that meant was when the box arrived, I knew I would have to be the first one to the door to open it. I was immediately surprised when not only did I receive full size portions of the Intense Hydration Treatment Mask, Night Cream and Cream Cleanser but also 10 small samples with coupons of the Day and Night Lotion.

Since we live in the high desert our climate lacks the humidity we desperate need and with the colder temperatures and high winds settling in, we thought this would be something we'd all love to try instead of having lizard-like dry skin. What instantly drew me in, were the claims that this product line is geared to help in the fight against dry skin. Using an ingredient know as Clary Sage, which is a plant that fights for its life against the elements along the windswept hills of the Mediterranean. Clary Sage survives and thrives in spite of its harsh surrounding, thanks to the plant's fierce will and exceptional ability to adapt and retain moisture. This remarkable botanical is the inspiration behind Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Face Care line - the brand's natural ode to soft, supple and revitalized skin.

In clinical studies, 100% of women tested said their skin felt hydrated after using Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Products and I have to agree with them. The one thing I immediately noticed is that the dry, wrinkled, itchy skin on my hands felt soft and smooth! Nothing I have tried before has lasted long enough to be noticeable all day long like Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Lotion. The best part is that this entire product line is geared to help where you need it the most and it's dermatologist-tested and noncomedogenic along with being 99% natural. From dry faces, to improving the look and feel of your skin to reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without leaving your skin dry or even oily.

We've actually used up the products faster than we knew it because not only was I using it, but later found out my two girls were sneaking it in there beauty routines as well. When I confronted them, they sheepish replied that it made their skin feel incredible and they were so sold on it. For those of you looking for a product that truly works as well as it claims, feel free to try this product yourself. As for me and my family, well we have incorporated this product into our daily beauty routine and each of my girls has their own set of Intense Hydration products to use! Burt's Bee's has done wonders for us.

Glade Expressions Collection

I don't know about you, but I love it when my home smells amazing! You can always find me browsing the latest in home fragrance to find a way to keep my home smelling wonderful not only instantly but throughout the month with very little work. That's why I am super excited to share the news about Glade Expressions Collections.

Here's how I came to find out about it. My friend Jacquie and I are always looking for great ways to keep our home smelling great and often compete to see who can not only find the best new scents but great deals as well. Well little did she know about the new Glad Expressions Collection.  When she stopped by my house for coffee the other day, her first comment was the apple scent of my home. I showed her my Glade Expression Oil Diffuser and also the Glade Expression Spray Mist in the Fuji Apple Cardamon Spice. I explained to her that not only can you get something that smells great everyday automatically but also keep your home safe. Not more of those messy electric diffusers that can be hazardous to your home, but something as simple as a snap of a cardboard insert into an oil tray, and the scent diffuses by itself for over 30 days. Not only that but you have a four new fragrances to choose from, Fuji Apple Cardamom Spice, Lavender Juniper Berry, Pineapple Mangosteen, Cotton & Italian Madarin. My favorite is the Fuji Apple Cardamom Spice and my kids love Pineapple Mangosteen for its tropical fruity fragrance and they've been telling their friends as well how amazing the product is. Since I am a BzzAgent I told her about this great new product and shared some of my coupons with her as well. The next time we spoke on the phone I asked her if she picked up any of the Glade Expressions Collection and she told me she also bought the Pineapple Mangosteen as well as the Fuji Apple Cardamom Spice when she went to the store next.

The best thing I love about the Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist is how is it is to use. It fits perfectly in your hand and works great for those that need an ergonomic design in their fragrance sprays. It's long lasting and smells amazing!!! The best part of this is when we were picking out our fragrances I happen to have my coupons with me, and while browsing I talked to several women who were also in the fragrance aisle and I told them about this product and just how well it works. The best part is I handed them the coupons and watched as they picked up not only the spray but the diffuser as well. I call that a win-win! 

The best part about these products is they can be found at your local grocery store or mass retailer in the home fragrance aisle. Once you purchase the Glade Expression Oil Diffuser, the holder comes in white or bamboo to coordinate with your personal decor, you simply need to purchase the oil refill to keep the fragrance going!!! It's a lot more convenient to use and prevents all those electric diffusers from running out without you being aware of it.

I received Glade Expressions Collection Oil Diffuser and Fragrance Spray compliments of Glade Products and BzzAgent for my honest review and I have to tell you, I LOVE them and will be using these all year round. To view more product details, visit Glade's website by clicking here. 

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector B.B. Cream

How does a woman ever begin to find the perfect face makeup product with so many choices to chose from? I find my best advice comes from people who use a product and can recommend it for whatever issues you're trying to deal with, whether sensitive skins, something containing an SPF it in, lightweight, and the ability to cover all those tell-tale aging signs.

So when I got the opportunity as a BzzAgent to try the new Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector B.B. Cream, I had to check this out. Here's what the product promises:

New Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector B.B. Cream combines intense hydration with tinted minerals and Vitamin C to renew, brighten, even, hydrate and protect. So say goodbye to dull skin, ditch that drawn-out beauty routine and get excited for a fresher, more flawless you!

Since I am always on the look out for a skin care product that is both great for your skin and can offer me the coverage I need as my skin has aged, I was more than willing to undertake this product review.

The first thing I noticed when I got the product, was the generous size of the bottle. I opted for the light/medium shade and waited til the following morning to see how great the results would be. The one thing I did notice upon reading the product is that it is recommended to use this product with the skin cleanser, which I did not have. I'm not sure that would have made a difference, but I tried this out and it does go on smooth, but what I noticed immediately is that it did not cover any of the imperfections in my skin from the darkness under my eyes, to the sun spots on my skin or the redness in my cheeks.

This was not the case with the normal make up I've used in the past. When I opt for an all in one foundation/concealer, I immediately see results. I even tried it a few more times, using a moisturizer and cleanser I normally use and was NOT happy with the results. I did give it to my teenage daughter who LOVES it!

It goes on light for her and the added bonus of a built in sun screen works for her. Since she has no real issues with her skin this works for her!

So for me, this isn't a product that would make me give up my current make up/concealer now even if I was offered more product for FREE in the future. For that reason alone, I rate this product a 1 out of 5 stars.

Hill's Science Diet Ideal Balance Cat Food

I've been a huge fan of healthy eating not only for myself but also for my pets, especially in light of the ongoing campaigns in pet food that are causing more harm than good. So why not as a pet owner want the very best for your pets, whether for dogs or cats.

Being a BzzAgent, provides me with the opportunity to review some really great products and as a mom and fellow pet advocate, when Hill's Science Diet offered me a chance to review one of their newest pet products that contained healthy ingredients, I knew I had to try this one.

Lately when visiting my local Pet Food store such as PetsMart or Petco, I've been looking more conscientiously as what the ingredients are even in those promising healthy ingredients with vitamins, minerals and no by-products or corn fillers. That's just what the bag of Ideal Balance Adult Chicken and Brown Rice Dinner promised so with 4 adult cats, I thought I'd have the perfect test group.

My 4 cats, range in age from 1 to 6 years old and when I got the food in the mail, (which came super fast, by the way) I knew I had to try a taste test. I immediately placed the new food next to their old food and initially 3 out of the 4 cats, actually appeared to prefer that food over our existing high priced brand of natural cat food. However that being said, a few days later when the Science Diet food ran out and I refilled it, none of the cats wanted anything to do with it. I guess like most of us, it was a new item and that gave them a difference in something to eat, but all of them left it back in the bowl and opted for their traditional food instead.

I even attempted to mix it in with their existing food only to find they would work around it and eat their old food. I had hoped to get them to eat something more nutritionally sound since the ingredients are amazing, the first ingredients being chicken and brown rice. There are no by-products listed in the ingredients. Aside from feeding my cats, something made fresh from whole chicken, I had hoped this would work and my cats love it. Now I have more than 3/4 of the bag remaining and will offer it to our local animal shelter instead.

I guess the end result is that no matter what the brands promise, if your cats won't eat it, then it's a waste of money. For more information on this product, please click on the link below and there's even a rebate coupon to allow you to try this product for your pet FREE:

Burts Bee's Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin Review

We all know how very important healthy, clean skin is to looking not only younger but also keeping our skin feeling fresh and alive. If you're like me, you've probably tried at least one of Burt Bee's products in the past and that's why I am so happy to introduce you to their latest skin care line, Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin.



As a BzzAgent, I had the opportunity to try not only their Sensitive Facial cleanser but the Sensitive Daily Moisturizing Cream as well. Since I was a young child, I have always had super sensitive skin, and with using more facial products in the past, either I had irritation, redness or really dry skin afterwards which made me quit using those products. So when I saw this skin care line from Burt's Bees come out, I knew I had to try it.

I started with the Sensitive Facial Cleanser which contains cotton extracts to help soften and replenish your skins outer layer, preventing it from leaving your skin feeling overly dry. It worked great to remove all my makeup, oils and dirt from my face, leaving it feeling super soft! It's also fragrance free and hypoallergenic as well, a definite plus for me. It also contains rice extract and aloe to leave your skin feeling wonderfully soft after using the product. O.K. definitely sold me on this one.



Next I finished off withe the Sensitive Daily Moisturizing Cream before applying my makeup in the morning. It is fragrance free and again contains rice extract, aloe and cotton extract to keep your skin feeling super soft. I had to keep taking this back from my older daughters bathroom because, I found out she was using it and LOVES it and she's 18! I use the Daily Moisturizing Cream because if you apply it before your make up base, it allows your make up to go on much better and smoother and you actually use less make up and who doesn't want that?

The best part about both of these products is not only are they made for sensitive skin but they are not tested on any animals! Trust me, if you love having your skin feel soft, smooth and irritation free, then try both of these products. They are great for daily use because they don't dry out your skin like other products in the past have done for me. I can't wait for you to try them! Wish I had some samples to pass along but it seems like the teenage girls that frequent my house have all taken them as they love Burts Bee's products! What a great way to spread the message!

Would love to hear from you telling me how you loved this product or if you have tried it already!! Now if I can only keep my teenage daughter from stealing this out of my bathroom, my problem would be solved! :D

Cars 2: Video Game Review

Being a BzzAgent has all kinds of cool opportunities that come your way and sometimes you're entire family gets the chance to get involved too! Recently I received an invite for my youngest, whose 12, to try the latest Disney/Pixar Cars 2: Video Game for the XBox 360.

The one game that can always get the whole family involved in a round of fun-filled competition is a driving game, and Disney's Cars 2 was just what our family needed to end our summer on a high note.



Inspired by the upcoming Disney Pixar animated film, Cars 2: The Video Game lets players jump into the Cars 2 universe with some of their favorite Cars personalities in exotic locations around the globe.

Continuing the storyline from the upcoming film, players can choose to play as Mater and Lightning McQueen, as well as some brand new characters, as they train in the international training center - CHROME (Command Headquarters for Recon Operations and Motorized Espionage) to become world-class spies. They'll take on dangerous missions, compete to become the fastest race car in the world, or use their spy skills in exciting, action-packed combat racing and battle arenas. Players can race against friends and family in either single or multiplayer modes with up to four players to unlock challenging new tracks, characters, events and thrilling spy missions. The DS version will also include exclusive global locations not seen in the film.

It's rating is ERSB which translates to 10+ although we had some energetic 9 year-olds giving us more seasoned and experienced drivers a run for our money. The game was a huge hit for us and the best part is when the kids all left, we were able to hand out some money saving coupons for them to add this game to their personal collection as well. The best part is just being able to spend time together as a family and do something that is fun and a challenge for us all. The biggest challenge was deciding who got to be Mater first!

I received this video game compliments of BzzAgent for my honest review and easily rate this a 5 out of 5 stars for family fun and entertainment! For more information about this video game, please check out the links below. It is available for the Wii, Nintendo DS and the XBox 360 at your local retailer!

Do The Work - Giveaway and Review!

Have a great idea but can't seem to move it in the right direction to see it become a reality? Whether it's a book, a movie, a project or just moving forward in life, we can be our own worst enemy. We get in the way more than anything.

Ringing the Bell:

Navy SEAL training put its candidates through probably the most intense physical ordeal in the U.S. military. The reason is they're trying to break you. SEAL trainers want to see if the candidate will crack. Better that the aspiring warrior fails here - at Coronado Island in San Diego - than someplace where a real wartime mission and real lives are at stake.

In SEAL training they have a bell. When a candidate can't take the agony any longer - the 6-mile ocean swims or the 15-mile full-load runs or the physical and mental ordeals of no sleep and no food...when he's had enough and he's ready to quit, he walks up and rings the bell.

That's it. It's over.

He has dropped out.

You and I have a bell hanging over us. Something that is holding us back from moving forward to our goals. Will we ring it?

There is a difference between Navy SEAL training and what you and I are facing now.

Our ordeal is harder.

Because we are alone. We can't tell whether we're doing great or falling on our faces. So what is stopping us from getting from here to there. One word: Ourselves.

In the latest book by Stephen Pressfield, Do The Work, helps the reader finally put things on motion by removing our greatest barrier, ourselves. Working through simple techniques that anyone can use in any situation, we must simply be willing to move forward. There are some great chapters on tackling any huge project and put it into manageable tasks that will move you forward.

There are also great stories of times where people have failed and through a series of reworks instead of submitting to failure, they achieve their goal and success in the process.

I received this book compliments of BzzAgent and Seth Godin's Domino Project along with Amazon for my honest review. The best part about this is that you can share in a FREE copy of this for Kindles through Amazon through May 20th. I have to say this is a great book that you can apply to any situation you are currently stuck in to help move you in the right direction. This book is available for your Kindle or in paperback formats.

I would rate this book a 4 out of 5 stars and if you would like more information on the Domino Project, read an excerpt from the book or download it for your Kindle, please click on the link below:

I was so excited when I received this wonderful offer in the mail from BzzAgent. I immediately took it to our local grocery store to try Welch's Healthy Start 100% juice. I could only imagine how wonderful it would be with breakfast the next day.

Upon arriving at the grocery store, I headed to the refrigerated section where they keep the juices. I was so excited to see all three flavors offered, Concord Grape, White Grape Orange and Mango, and Blueberry Pomegranate . Since all this is 100% juice and contains no added sugar, I thought this would make for a perfect breakfast juice for my family.

I chose the Concord Grape to try. Since I still had all my coupons with me from my mail offer earlier, I offered them to the shoppers around me. Who knew just a simple gesture like that could produce so many smiles and genuine words of appreciation. Many asked me if I worked for Welch's or the grocery store, and I smiled and shared that I am a BzzAgent and get products occasionally to try. They loved the idea even more!!!

The next morning, I served Welch's Healthy Start 100% Juice with our Saturday morning family breakfast. What a delight it was to see our children's faces to something different over your standard Orange Juice. They loved it. What a surprise for them that we had Welch's for breakfast instead of later in the day with other meals or for drinks in between.

Our family voted hands down now to have Welch's Healthy Start 100& Juice with breakfast as well as throughout the day as needed. Not only do I feel great providing something I feel is good for them, knowing that it contains 100% and no added sugar makes me feel like a better mom.

I would highly recommend this product to any one who loves Welch's grape juice as a great alternative to your traditional breakfast juices and it's great for any time of the day. This one rates a perfect 5 out of 5 stars!

Review - Glade's Winter Collection

Now that it's officially Black Friday and all of us are out there shopping, I found a great product I had to share with all of you compliments of being a BzzAgent as well as from Glade.

Being a lover of candles, I was so excited to try Glade's new Winter Collection in Apple Cinnamon, my favorite scents not just at the holidays but anytime. I got the candle to try and immediately had to light it. Not only was the glass jar decorated with cute white reindeer's but the size of the candle made placing it anywhere reasonable. Too often the bigger candles take up so much room, but these personal sized ones take up less space and still offer the same fragrance power of the larger ones.

My family commented on just how warm and cozy our home smelled after lighting it. It truly did offer a comforting feeling just watching the flicker of the flame and the dance of the reindeer stencils that appear on the area surrounding the candle. Because I thoroughly enjoyed it so much, it ran out after a few days of extended use, but off I went to purchase new ones.

I have used them in our kitchen, bathrooms during Thanksgiving and next to my bedroom for some fragrance while settling in for the night. Glades' Winter collection comes in three great fragrances guaranteed to please everyone's taste, from Apple Cinnamon, Bayberry Spice, French Vanilla, Sugar Plum, Chocolate Cherry, Baked Magic, and Peppermint Crush.

Not only do these come in candles but also in plug in oils, and room sprays to suit your every need. I would highly recommend this product and if you sign up for Glade's Right At Home, you receive some great coupons to try the product. I give this one a 5 out of 5 stars!

Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Makeup

For those of you that know me, I am a 46 years young mom of two that is always looking for something to hide my discoloration in my skin tone now that I am aging more in my later years.

As a BzzAgent I had the delight to be offered the opportunity to review the make-up I've seen Ellen DeGeneres sponsoring for quite some time. Even my oldest daughter asked me in Target one day while comparing make up for aging skin, "I wonder if that stuff works Mom?"

Little did we know that later that week when I logged into my account that I would have the opportunity to do just that. I was asked to review the CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless makeup line.

At first, I was asked to select my foundation color and that was it. A week later, to my surprise, my box arrived. Only expecting the foundation, which would have been just fine, I found an eye corrector, an eye concealer, blush and the foundation. OOOhhh! I was so excited for morning to arrive so I could try it.

After my morning shower, I followed the instructions, using the eye corrector to eliminate all those tell tale dark circles. Then I used the eye concealer to hide all those imperfections around my eyes like all the dark spots from being out in the sun too many years.

Then I added the foundation which comes with the sponge pad, concealed in the makeup base to keep it clean. What a great way to keep it when traveling. The foundation went on smooth and cool, like a butter and really did a great job giving me a consistent skin tone from the top of my face to my neckline. I was impressed!

Last I added the sculpting blush again with the sponge applicator concealed in the bottom and being the first time using a creme based blush I was in LOVE!! It made me look like I had just spent a little time in the sun without feeling heavy or clogging my pores.

When I finished not only did my husband comment for the first time, how great my make up looked but even my daughter and friends wanted to know what I did to my face. It really does look amazing.

This is my new all time favorite makeup and well worth the money. This make up line is the 2009 Beauty Insiders Choice award winner from Cosmetic Executive Women Inc. Here are more details about the product line:
