Soy Burgers? Yes please!

This month money has been tight, but at the same time I have been working out so much that I need a cheap, easy source of protein for lunch. Staring into a fridge and freezer had nothing popping out to me. I have eaten too many eggs and don't want to cook chicken at 6am. Enter MorningStar Farms veggie burgers. As a member of bzzagent.com, I have been able to eat these tasty treats free!

Twice this week I have had two for lunch with some spinach. Great taste, fast, easy and protein packed. No, really - see the info that came off the MorningStar Campaign page!

Yum!

Holiday Beer - Patriots Pride

 There are a few things I enjoy about wintertime and cozying up at a local bar to watch the Patriots play on a Sunday is once of those things. This particular time my tipple of choice was the fantastic Stella Artois which was turned on to me as part of a campaign through BzzAgent.com. We got to chatting at the table about the fancy glass as well as the 9 step pouring technique. A great addition to the Pats sweep of the Dolphins - cheersing with a Stella.

Healthy hands are happy hands

It is wintertime in New England. We lucked out last year, with unseasonably warm weather, but the cold has come back with a vengeance. With the cold comes gloves, dry weather, and for me - chapped hands. My fingers seem to bear the brunt of it and in really bad winters, I cannot wear my rings.


This year will be different. As a BzzAgent, I have had the opportunity to try out Neutrogena Hand Cream. A great addition to a nightly beauty regimin, but also a great start to an at home manicure. Use your favorite polish and patterns (mine is gold and silver this time of year) and let dry. Rub in a small bit of Neutrogena Hand cream and viola! A manicure at home!

A Most Unusual Gin for an Unusual Gal

New Years Eve is a time to try new things...like Hendrick's gin. I am a gin drinker by nature, but always tend to go toward Bombay Saphire and never heard of Hendrick's before BzzAgent gave me an opportunity to try it. I must say - love at the first sip! It is an unusual gin and has a different flavor due to the cucumber and roses. Not only was the taste great, but the part was cracking up over the history of Hendricks given on the attached tag. I think I am in love....

I HATE Lipstick...but what changed?

The title says it all. I hated lipstick and really more of a colored chapstick gal. Burt's Bees...Nutroena...but no to the lipstick. I hate the feel. I hate the color. No matter how hard I try, somehow I wind up orange or overly pink. However, enter CoverGirl flipstick. Not only do I get TWO shades that I can blend or switch to get my favorite color, but also I get a lipstick that does not feel waxy, is long lasting and helps my pout stand out! Kudos to you CoverGirl, you have a convert to the lipstick world.

Battling Dry Skin

The closer that the age of 30 is knocking on my door, the more care I have been taking care of my skin. Since autumn is upon us and winter is around the corner, one particular problem starts to plague me - dry skin. You know, that tight, tense feeling after a shower? Enter Burt's Bees Intense Hydration. Due to the fact that I am a Bzz Agent and get to try products for free PLUS the love of the Burt's Bees brand, I was all over this particular campaign.

I have never used a night cream before, but when I opened my kit there was the Intense Hydration night cream. I figured, why not? The cream was nice and thick and clearly I need to learn how much is the right amount as I turned myself white. However, it was fast absorbing, so I didn't scare the hubby too much. This morning, my face did not feel greasy or icky, but happy and quite soft. Looking forward to trying more!

Yup...still in love with Glade Expressions

At the beginning of the month, I noted about how I was using my Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser in Apple/Cardamon in my classroom. I got coupons to purchase this product for free for being a Bzz Agent. To update - the diffuser not only looks great, but surrounds my desk with a pleasant smelling bubble of scent. The students seem to like it too! Again, thank you Glade!
