The TruMoo BzzCampaign!


I'm a member of BzzAgent.com and I recently received this great opportunity to take part in the TruMoo BzzCampaign. I received a coupon for a free half gallon or larger jug of TruMoo milk, and also several coupons to pass along to other parents, grandparents, friends and family. :) In return I would try the TruMoo product together with my family and write a honest review about it.
First of all, my children love milk and especially chocolate milk! They were beyond excited when I told them about the TruMoo BzzCampaign and could not wait to get their hands on a cup of TruMoo! We have never tried it before, so we were all very excited to see how it measures up to their usual chocolate milk they are used to drink. I was supposed to find the special, Halloween limited edition TruMoo orange colored Vanilla Milk, but had a hard time finding the TruMoo brand at all in my stores that I shop at for groceries and other necessities. I finally found TruMoo Chocolate milk and decided to go with that one instead. My children couldn't wait to get home after grocery shopping to have some of the TruMoo Chocolate milk, and all you could hear was "Mmmmmmhh!!!" and "Yummy, I want MORE! This is SO GOOD!". :) The thing they loved most about it was the rich chocolate flavor, and they said they thought it was actually a chocolate milkshake, because it was so creamy and delicious. I was allowed to try some as well ;) and I must say that the texture and richness, the creaminess and thickness is very delicious. It makes it an awesome treat! Also, there was no aftertaste at all. And of course, besides the great taste and all, there are other interesting facts to talk about when it comes to what's actually in TruMoo! I am always checking and making sure that my children do not get overloaded on sugary drinks and snacks, and especially do not consume too much high fructose corn syrup containing products in their diet. I was reading the nutrition label carefully and noticed right away the many benefits of this product, compared to other leading well-known brands of comparable drinks. TruMoo Chocolate milk contains 35% less sugar than other brands, and is made without high fructose corn syrup. Serving this nutritious treat to your children is guilt-free because you can rest assured that only the best ingredients are added, and it all starts with fresh, pure low-fat milk from your local dairies, added with pure cocoa to give it that delicious chocolate flavor that kids love. The milk comes from cows that were not treated with any growth hormones. The little bit of sugar added in the TruMoo milk is just enough to bring out the naturally occurring sweetness of lactose in milk, and studies have proved that adding this little bit of sweetness to nourishing foods and drinks like this TruMoo milk actually encourages children as well as adults to consume the essential nutrients necessary for a healthy diet. TruMoo contains eight important nutrients, such as protein, calcium, vitamins A & D & B12, riboflavin, phosphorus and potassium, which are important to keep you full, satisfied, and helping to repair and make muscles strong, as well as strengthening bones. If you did not know yet, TruMoo chocolate milk is also considered the perfect recovery drink after exhausting sports or exercise practices, because it nourishes tired muscles with its protein content, while its electrolytes (such as potassium and sodium in it) rehydrate and the high water content of this low fat milk replenishes lost fluids after sports and exercise.
All in all, who could say no after all these awesome facts about the TruMoo Chocolate milk? My children cannot wait to get more TruMoo milk when we go grocery shopping this weekend, and it certainly replaced their other brand they used to drink. I now also won't have to feel guilty anymore, because it is lowfat, a lot less sugar content and has all the essential nutrients and vitamins necessary for their healthy development at any of their developmental stages in their childhood. TruMoo is truly a wonderful alternative to all those unhealthy drink options for children as well as adults. I'm proud to serve TruMoo to my family, and you should definitely give it a try too! I guarantee you won't be disappointed to make the switch! :)
Try TruMoo today and with every TruMoo special edition container you receive a code that you can enter for a chance to win a Goosebumps Haunted Hollywood vacation, and you will also receive instantly a coupon for $2 off any Goosebumps DVD of your choice.

The Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge BzzCampaign

I'm a member of BzzAgent.com and was very excited to be invited to be a part of the Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge BzzCampaign. Upon arrival of my BzzKit package, I received a full size bottle of each: the Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge shampoo, the conditioner, and the 1-minute moisture-plenish treatment, all from the new line of hair products from Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge, intended to replenish maxium hydration to normal to dry hair.

Here is a picture of what the products look like:

I've been coloring, highlighting, dying my hair for many years now already, and right now I'm bleaching y hair light blonde about every four weeks, which takes its toll on my long tresses. I've been trying a lot of different hair products that claim to take your hair from dull and dry to lush and silky, but let's be honest - it's nearly impossible to un-do the majority of damage that comes from over-processing hair.

This is why I was very happy to be selected to be a part of this BzzCampaign, I'm a big fan of Garnier Fructis hair products, and more than willing to try out this new line of hair products for dry hair.
The first thing I noticed was that these products smell absolutely AMAZING! (The scent alone made my whole family want to try and use the products as well!) The combination of the super fruit power of goji berries, kiwi and passion fruit provides hydration and nourishment for the hair.

First of all, the Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge Shampoo is very cool, it is a clear shampoo (which is great because this is what I usually associate with clarifying capabilities of shampoos) and it is super unique because it is the first of its kind to feature thousands of mini-beads full of moisture which burst on impact, and melt literally right into your hair strands and provide deep hydration. It has a nice consistency which makes it easy to distribute into the whole head of hair, forming a rich lather, while hydrating your tresses.

After shampooing, you follow up with the Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge Conditioner, it has a very nice cream/gel-like texture, and is very easy to apply and will cover your hair from roots to tips nicely, providing maximum hydration. When rinsing out I immediately felt and knew that it made me hair so super smooth and silky, like no other brand of shampoo has been able to before. My hair felt like a "waterfall" in my hands while rinsing! The conditioner made my hair manageable and super easy to comb through!

The Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment is best used twice a week instead of the conditioner, which to me seemed very similar to the conditioner itself, also featuring the creamy/gel-like texture and was also super easy to distribute all over the hair, covering from roots to tips perfectly. I was amazed by the fact that it really takes only one minute to un-do the damage signs of over-processing and damaging my hair! Other products in the market take about 20-30 minutes and this is not ideal for a busy mother of kids like me! The one-minute Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge treatment is perfect for women that do not have too much time by themselves. ;)
Another cool thing about this new line from Garnier Fructis is, that it claims that your hair will stay fresh and nice for up to two days! Which is proven to be very true by myself! Very assuring knowing you will look good even if you run late some day and were not able to wash your hair before running out the door.

I have received so many compliments about how shiny, healthy and smooth my hair looks, even though I had been recently bleaching my hair again, plus I have not been to a hair salon in quite a while. Usually you could tell the damage, but since I started using Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge, my hair immediately started looking and feeling so much better! I've been using these products for over 6 weeks now, and I am very happy with the results and will continue using them, and definitely buy them again! I HIGHLY recommend these products if you want to improve your hair's feel and looks! Love it!

The Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge line is available at mass merchandisers, grocery stores and drug stores for about $3.99 to $6.99/ You can visit the Garnier Fructis website here to learn more, or visit Garnier USA on Facebook for product news and promotions by clicking here.


Disclaimer: I received the products free from BzzAgent to try them out and share my honest opinion about these products. No other compensation was received.

The "Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream" BzzCampaign

 
 
Today, I have something new to tell you about! :) Another great BzzCampaign that I was invited to is the Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream BzzCampaign. I am a BzzAgent, which means that if I get invited to and join a BzzCampaign, I will receive a full-size product to try out and review, and let other people know all about this product by telling them my honest opinion.

First of all, I would like to tell you a little bit about the history of the Norwegian Formula Hand Cream by Neutrogena. It was invented by fishermen in Norway, who suffered from the combined bad effects of cold weather, wind, and water on their skin. They came up with the idea to make this glycerin-rich cream, which proved to relieve years' worth of dry, chapped, cracked skin, and it has now been around for about forty years already. Neutrogena adopted these fishermen's hand cream formula, and it has been very successful for many years now. Not only has the Norwegian Formula Hand Cream outperformed other similar products for many years now, but it has also earned the 2012 Good Housekeeping Seal for its' outstanding performance.

The invitation for this BzzCampaign couldn't have come at a better time. It is winter and cold outside, and it is always my hands that suffer the most during winter. Very often I find my hands irritated, red and dry, with very painful chapped skin. This is why I was excited about this BzzCampaign, and curious to try the Norwegian Formula Hand Cream, to see how it works and if it would provide the results it promises, and some much needed relief.

The Norwegian Formula Hand Cream claims to heal and repair seven signs of damage, such as rough and chapping skin, dryness, scaliness, dry cuticles and splitting nails, making your hands and nails look more beautiful and healthy. And who does not like the benefit of a longer lasting manicure?

The Norwegian Formula Hand Cream is the first hand cream that is based on a glycerin-rich formula, that is concentrated and long-lasting. All you need is a little dab of this hand cream, which is enough for both of your hands. It really is true with this hand cream, that "a little bit goes a long way", and so the tube of 2oz. will last you for about 200 uses. You can choose from original scented and fragrance-free, and the suggested retail price per 2 ounce tube of the Norwegian Formula Hand Cream is about $4.99.
 


After the first use, my hands almost instantly felt smoother, softer, and the roughness and dryness has disappeared. My cuticles no longer felt tight and painful, because of chapped skin around the nails. It is like this hand cream glycerin-rich consistency mends the cracks in skin right away, relieving discomfort, and starting the healing process. The hand cream itself is a clear/white-ish color, and feels very smooth. With continued use, about twice a day, the condition of my dry skin and cuticles improved in no time. I really enjoyed the softness of my hands!
 
 

With the Norwegian Formula Hand Cream, the irritation and pain of your dry and chapped skin on your hands and fingers soon will be only a faint memory. Its' versatility is outstanding, not only helps this cream heal your hands, but is also great for dry, rough skin on your heels, elbows, knees, and can even be used as a lip balm, protecting your lips from the weathers. Considering the great price/value and all the benefits, this hand cream sure is a keeper, no matter if you have one at home, at work, or on the go in your purse. Just $5 gets you a 2oz. tube which will last you for 200 uses, so for a very long time. ;)

Outweighed by the great benefits of this hand cream, there are also a few things that I did not like about the Norwegian Formula Hand Cream. For one, I did not like the scent of the original variety, I preferred the fragrance-free variety.

Another experience I had one time was, that after a long day of cleaning and the following whole day spent outdoors in cold weather, my hands were extremely dry from the usage of cleaner soaps. Combined with the cold weather afterwards, I experienced extremely tense, red, and dry skin around the knuckles area of both my hands, to the point that my skin was cracking and bleeding a little bit. This seemed like the perfect time to put this hand cream to the test and see if it would be able to heal my hands and provide some relief. I put on and rubbed in the original scented hand cream, but I had to wash it off immediately, because the stinging sensation it created hurt like crazy. This has not happened with the fragrance-free variety, so my skin may be just too sensitive for the fragrance ingredients, while the skin is irritated. I don't really know. One last thing that I did not like about this hand cream is, that it felt too "creamy", almost "wax-like" inside the palms of my hands after applying it all over my hands. I'm the type of person that can't stand the feel of lotion or cream remaining in the palms, so I always wiped my palms after applying the cream to the back of my hands and cuticles/nails.

 
Overall, my opinion about the Norwegian Formula Hand Cream is very positive, and it works just as described! It makes your hands feel wonderfully smooth, your cuticles nice and soft, and it prevents cracked skin and dryness, keeping your nails from splitting. I would definitely recommend this hand cream to anyone suffering from dry, painful, flaky skin, and will also be purchasing it again in the future!

If you would like to learn more about this hand cream, you can "like" Neutrogena on Facebook, and see the facts and also buy this product on their website found here.

The Post Alpha-Bits BzzCampaign !

So, what's the Bzz about Post Alpha-Bits cereal? :)





Hey, what's up everyone! I'm back with my newest BzzCampaign, the Post Alpha-Bits BzzCampaign! This is going to be an interesting review for all of you equally, moms and dads, grandmothers and grandfathers, women and men equally, because this is about the number 1 breakfast item in households: Cereal!

First of all, let me say that my family never gets tired of having cereal for breakfast. And as a health-conscious mom, I am always trying to keep it as healthy as possible, while at the same time trying to satisfy my children's natural sweet tooth, and fulfill their craving for a sweet breakfast cereal. If it was up to my children, they sure would just pick the first sweet cereal item in the supermarket's cereal isle. But most of the cereals nowadays contain way too much sugar to be considered a healthy breakfast for children or adults. Have you noticed the many parents or people in general, standing in the cereal isle in supermarkets, reading nutrition labels and comparing different cereals, trying to figure out which one is healthiest for them? Most likely, at one point or another, you are one of them. I was too. ;)

I was very happy to get picked to participate in this new BzzCampaign, and to have my family try the Post Alpha-Bits cereal. It is a letter-shaped, whole grain cereal, which is slightly sweetened, and provides 12 minerals and essential vitamins per serving! The vitamin D in it helps the body absorb calcium for healthy teeth and bones, while the iron and zinc help support a healthy brain development. Post Alpha-Bits are just the perfect balance, not only are they healthy with 20 grams of whole grain per serving, but also delicious and wholesome. They are lightly sweetened with only 6 grams of sugar per serving, just enough to fulfill that little sweet craving of my children and yet keeping it healthy! I heard from health specialists in a news report on TV, that a healthy cereal for children should only contain around 5 grams of sugar per serving, which makes Post Alpha-Bits the perfect fit! Many alternatives in stores today have much higher sugar content, it is not unusual to find cereals with over 10 grams of sugar per serving! By comparison you will notice, how much better your choice is, when you pick up Post Alpha-Bits. Your kids and you will love the taste, and you will keep it healthy for your family!

I am a mother of four, two of those are going to elementary school. I just LOVED the fact that the Post Alpha-Bits cereal is shaped like the letters of the alphabet! This gives breakfast time a whole new meaning in our house. While enjoying their yummy, nutritional breakfast, my children had lots of fun spelling out their names and other words, making this a fun-filled learning activity for themselves! And even my pre-school aged son was eager to recognize and find all the letters of the ABC, occasionally asking me to help him, which turned into lots of learning fun for him, too.

Not only do older children have fun with this yummy cereal, but also babies enjoy Post Alpha-Bits. My youngest child is only ten months old, and he loved to use them as finger food, picking them up one-by-one all by himself, it made him one proud little boy! :)

This cereal is delicious with or without milk, and my kids kept asking to have some more during the day as a snack, too.

Last, but not least, my children loved the super cool blue box the cereal came in! In the front of the box is one of their favorite SUPER WHY! characters, while on the back are some more fun activities for the kids to do, all about words and letters, just as in the TV show SUPER WHY!

All in all, the Post Alpha-Bits cereal is a wonderful choice! Wholesome, delicious, containing essential vitamins and minerals, only lightly sweetened, great as breakfast with milk, but also a good snack item for the little ones during the day to satisfy their little hunger in between meals. Not only is this cereal a favorite, and parents- and children-approved, but it is also "baby-approved" in our home!

SMARTFOOD SELECTS BzzCampaign


Hi everyone! :)
I am excited to tell you all about the latest BzzCampaign I had the privilege to participate in. It's called the "Smartfood Selects BzzCampaign", and I received a free small bag of the Smartfood Selects Garlic Tomato Basil Hummus Popped Chips, a free small bag of the Smartfood Selects Feta Herb Hummus Popped Chips, and a full size bag of the Smartfood Selects Buffalo Cheddar Popcorn. I received these for free, in return for my honest opinion about these products which I would share with BzzAgent and all of you, my friends and family. The Smartfood Selects as the name suggests stands for a healthier way to snack, and all of these snack items are very healthy, because they are produced without any artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, they contain 0 grams trans fat, no MSG, and all of them are kosher products.

The first product I would like to review here are the Feta Herb Hummus Popped Chips, and here is what Smartfood writes on their website about the flavor combination and taste: “Herbs are a natural accompaniment to cheese. This delicious recipe combines feta cheese with rosemary, basil, and black pepper for a flavor that perfectly complements our hummus popped chip.”The chips came in a small 0.8 ounce bag, and the nutritional facts stated 110 calories, 0.5 grams saturated fat, 170 mg sodium, and 1 g sugar. As you can see, this is a much healthier snacking option than regular chips. The flavor blend of feta and herbs was delicious. I enjoyed the crispiness of the chips also, they were really yummy, like gourmet chips!

The next variety I would like to review here are the Smartfood Selects Garlic Tomato Basil Hummus Popped Chips. Here is the desciption of their flavor as stated on the Smartfood website: “By roasting the garlic in this hummus-based popped chip, we've caramelized its natural sugars to give it a sweet flavor. Parmesan, tomato, basil, and thyme complement the garlic in this scrumptious, smart combination.” With only 100 calories,, 0 g trans fat, 0 g saturated fat, 130 mg sodium, 1 g sugars, these are also a much healthier option for you to snack on. Each bite was loaded with yummy flavor, and they were gone in no time, since this bag was also only a 0.8 ounce bag, just enough to try the flavors, and leaving me longing for more. Yum! :)

Last, I tried the full size bag of Smartfood Selects Buffalo Cheddar Popcorn. One of the best things about the packaging is, they are resealable bags! This is a much needed and desired feature! No more stale left over snacks, that no one wants to touch anymore and are left to throw away. The Smartfood website describes the flavor of this variety as follows: “This zesty flavor combination is inspired by spicy buffalo wing sauce, cooled by cheddar cheese. It's made even more delicious with hints of cayenne pepper, vinegar, paprika, garlic, and onion.” My opinion on this popcorn flavor is, they are much too strong and intense flavored for my taste buds, while my husband and children enjoyed them, even though my kids needed to have plenty of water to drink to lessen the intenseness of the zestiness. :) Here is a picture I took of the bag, before our family movie night! Check out the resealable top of the new full-size bags! Very cool and clever!!
 

My overall opinion of the Smartfood Selects brand is very positive! I love the fact that my family and me have the option to snack healthier. I must admit I am very interested in trying the other available flavors, too, but especially the Cinnamon Brown Sugar Popcorn, as well as the Cinnamon Brown Sugar Whole Grain Popped Chips. I will definitely be looking for them when grocery shopping. I can’t wait to give them a try!! :)

And if you would like to snack smarter with real herbs and spices, and no artifials, you should give the Smartfood Selects snacking products a try!!

The new Glade Expressions Collection! Beautiful scents and sleek design to fit your home decor!


Cooking, dirty laundry, pets... If you are like me and my family, and you love a clean and lovely smelling home, you most likely buy all kinds of air fresheners to try and see which one works best. From scented candles, to plug-ins, air freshener sprays, and oil diffusers, you name it, we’ve bought and tried them.
I was very excited to get invited to the Glade Expressions BzzCampaign, and could not wait for my BzzKit to arrive! After all, this new collection of fragrance mists and oil diffuser seemed very promising at keeping the house fresh and inviting. And as a welcome added bonus, both the oil diffuser and fragrance mist bottle have a very sleek and beautiful design that will blend right into your home décor. Also, the fragrance mist and the oil diffuser come as starter kits, for which you can buy a refill after they are used up.

I received one coupon for a free Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist starter kit, and one coupon for a free Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser starter kit, in order to try them and review them, and share my personal honest opinion about these products with BzzAgent and all of you.
I decided to buy the Fragrance Mist with fresh pineapple & mangosteen scent, and I bought the Oil Diffuser also with the pineapple & mangosteen fragrance, simply because it was the last and only one available at the store I went to. I happened to have bought the fragrance mist with the cotton & Italian mandarin scent before and had it at home already, which made it a good option to compare two different scents of this product.

I loved the beautiful design of the oil diffuser. Unlike usual glass bottles with oil and little sticks in them, which I always hated and bought only maybe two times ever,  this one is spill-proof, a little “card” that soaks up the oil from a little plastic bottle at the bottom, both well hidden in this beautiful décor like product. Visitors may likely not even realize that this is not only décor, but an actual oil diffuser! I was a little disappointed that I had to go back to my Walmart store at least three times to actually find this item, it seemed like it wasn’t available yet, or it was so popular it had been all out right away.

The Glade Expressions website says, this oil diffuser has a long-lasting fragrance release of up to 30 days long. The first few days I enjoyed the smell a lot, every single time I came into our living room, I got a whiff of this wonderful tropical paradise like scent of fresh cut pineapple with tangy mangosteen notes, mixed with coconut hints and passionflower fragrance. But after a few days already I noticed the scent had disappeared, and not even stepping right next to the diffuser let me smell anything. I literally had to stick my nose right next to the diffuser to pick up some of the fragrance. My opinion? Not good! I expect a oil diffuser to last much longer than this! Especially coming from the Glade brand, which is definitely one of my favorite air freshener brands. Just for its’ beautiful décor and art like look, I still have the diffuser standing in my home to this day. I am still looking for the Apple & Cardamom Spice refill, because I really would love to try this one, since it fits perfectly for this season now! Hopefully I will find it in stores soon.

Next, I would like to review the fragrance mists. The mist itself is nicely distributed and it is a fine mist that will surely freshen your rooms. No matter, if bathroom, your pet’s room or kitchen, this mist will eliminate bad odors and make it smell lovely.  First, the cotton & Italian mandarin fragrance mist is in my opinion a little too strong and I did not care much for it. But the Pineapple & mangosteen is truly a hint of paradise in your own home! I enjoy it very much. I will also definitely buy the other available scents to try them out also.

Overall, I recommend you try both products out for yourselves, both are a very beautiful piece of “art” to have in your home and will freshen your home to make it more inviting, by its’ fragrance and its’ sleek style.
Here are some pictures:

The UNREAL Candy Unjunked BzzCampaign


The UNREAL Candy Unjunked BzzCampaign
 

Today I would like to tell you about UNREAL Candy Unjunked, which is a new line of candies that is produced without corn syrup, any artificial ingredients, such as artificial flavors, colors or preservatives, without hydrogenated oil, and without GMO’s, while also offering a sugar amount of only 40% of regular candies available.

As a member of BzzAgent, I got an invitation to participate in this campaign. I received a free product coupon and a few Buy one get one coupons to pass out to people, in return for my honest opinion about the product.

So, how did the UNREAL brand come into life? Well, on the UNREAL website it tells the story of a dad who took away his son’s candy from halloween, and the son, of course disappointed and mad, tried to prove to his father, that candy couldn't be so bad. He was searching for information online, just to find out that his father was right all along, and he also found out, that all unhealthy "junk", such as corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors, preservatives and colors, were not there to make the candy taste better. The only purpose they had was to make the production cheaper! So, this is how the development of UNREAL candy started.

 

Now, you may be like me wondering, how can candy with less than half of the regular amount of sugar in it, and without so much other stuff taste good? I was sceptic about this, and when I received my coupon I headed to the store to pick out one variety. The line of UNREAL Unjunked Candy includes five different varities: - Candy coated chocolates, - Candy coated chocolates with peanuts, - Chocolate covered peanut butter cups, and, last but not least, - Chocolate caramel nougat, available with and without peanuts.

First of all, I found it hard to find these at the stores I usually shop at, but thanks to their website I found out that they are available at Walgreens and CVS, besides others. With my free product coupon from BzzAgent I picked out the UNREAL #54 Chocolate covered candies with peanuts, which are the healthier option for regular M&M's with peanuts. My first impression was quite positive, I liked the colorful package and the colors of the candies were also nice, keeping in mind that only natural ingredients are used to produce the candy, including the color of the outside shells. When I tried the candies, I was not very impressed, the chocolate lacked the sweetness I am used to and that I love about chocolate candies. It's hard to describe the flavor in words, but the chocolate tasted "flat", kind of bitter, but even the unsweetened baking chocolate available in stores tastes somehow sweeter than this candy. The peanut inside was okay, but also not really comparable to the competitor's real brand product, in my opinion. It tastes a little too hard, maybe a little over-roasted even.

I would have loved to be able to try out all of the available varieties, but there was only one coupon for a free trial candy. Maybe the other varieties would have been better. For the health facts alone, I will definitely give the other varieties a try soon. I think the UNREAL Unjunked Candy is a great idea and much needed in today’s "junk food" society!
