A free Old Navy dress courtesy of Crowdtap and Old Navy...yes, please, and Thank you!!

Being picked to receive a free dress from old navy by crowdtap made me so happy! I could not wait for the coupons to get here to be able to go pick out a new dress since it had been a long time since I had purchased a new dress. It was made even more special since it was the first dress I was purchasing since losing 45lbs, so I was super excited :). I enlisted my bestie to come with me to help me pick out a new dress. I decided to make it a surprise for when I met her that she would also be getting a brand new dress for absolutely free. Ah free…our favorite price ;) Not only was she now more enthusiastic about our shopping trip, she was also very appreciative of receiving a dress that had a regular price of $30+ for free! There was a fair selection of dresses, however they were kind of hard to locate since they were not all in one location but instead spread throughout most of the department. Some of the dresses we found to be kind of plain and ugly, but we were able to find a few that were to our personal liking. It was a hard decision but we narrowed it down and after looking around the store, we made our purchases and received our free dresses and left very pleased! I already wore it for a Thanksgiving event at a friend’s house, and I can’t wait to flaunt it again for our upcoming company Christmas party. Although I was displeased with some of the experience, overall I like my dress…especially since it was free ;)

Burt's Bees Intense Hydration BzzCampaign!!

I was so excited when I received the BzzCampaign invite for Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration face care line! Then I received my BzzKit and I could not believe how great the full size products just for me to try out were, I became even more excited to try them out!! I started using them right away and almost immediately had great results. These products deliver such great hydration leaving you with great feeling skin. The products I tried also smell great. I am especially glad to have them to use now that the weather is getting cold, which is when I tend to experience dry skin the most.

The BzzKit also included samples of both the Intense Hydration day cream and day cream to hand out. Attached to each of the samples was a great $3.00 money saving coupon. I do have to admit that according to the price of most of the products listed in the BzzGuide, I am not sure if my friends/family that I gave samples to would have even considered buying had such a coupon not been involved.

This Intense Hydration face care line is:

-         Clinically proven to intensely hydrate skin

-         Helps reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles

-         Is dermatologist-tested and noncomedogenic

-         Is 99% natural

-         Enhanced with probiotic technology

-         Can be found in mass retailers (like Target and Walmart), drug stores, grocery stores and natural health food stores nationwide.

I REALLY want to thank BzzAgent for picking me for this BzzCampaign!!! And Burt’s Bees, at least I think they had something to do with it? I am really not sure, but anyway… I had a lot of fun with this one and many people who were interested and hope to receive more campaigns like this one J

I LOVE being a BzzAgent!

Well, excuses excuses, but seriously the main reason I have not blogged in almost 3 weeks is since Halloween is such a hectic time for my family! First of all Halloween is my husband and I’s second favorite holiday, so decorating is an event all in its own! But the main reason we are so busy is since we both work for an ice/dry ice company. In case you do not know, many people use dry ice for Halloween and their Halloween parties to make the spooky fog that rolls along the ground. It is super cool looking!! Needless to say this meant we worked some longer hours and weekend which we do not normally work.

Since the Glade BzzCampaign, I am excited to announce I have been selected to do 3 MORE BzzCampaigns!! I am so stoked, J especially for the first one which is Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration line of facial care products. On Friday the 26^th I received over $45 worth of Burt’s Bees products, can you believe it!?! I was so surprised, not only at the fact that I got such awesome stuff to try, but that this stuff was so expensive! According to the BzzKit info, the cream cleanser which has a value of $9.99, and the night cream and hydration mask are valued at $17.99! (I have not yet looked at it in store to see how the pricing compares). They also sent 5 samples of the day cream and 5 samples of the night cream to pass out that had $3 off coupons attached to them. I know that what I received was already great, but I kind of wish they would have included the day cream for me to, only because how am I supposed to recommend the day cream to people if I have not yet tried it myself? Nonetheless, so far I LOVE these products, granted I am not sure I would be personally willing to pay the price.

The second campaign is for Alexia Frozen Foods. I just received my BzzKit for that this past Saturday. It included 3 free coupons for foods for my family to try, and $1 off coupons to share with friends. It also included a re-usable grocery bag, which I thought would have been one of the freezer ones since it is for FROZEN food, but it is nice and I will use it regardless. We were able to pick up the sweet potato fries and waffle fries for us to try, but could not yet find the dinner breads, hopefully they are available at Kroger, we have yet to check. At our local Wal-Mart both types of fries were $2.98, and the bags are kind of small. We are going to try them tonight, so I will let you know of course how they taste.

The last new BzzCampaign I was invited to was for Kroger Private Selection foods. I don’t have a lot of information on this one yet since I have yet to get my BzzKit, but I can’t wait since the holidays are coming and my hubby and I love to do a lot of entertaining!
