Woolite Sample and Share for Crowdtap


Event: Woolite Sample and Share Party/ Clothes Swapping
Where: My House
When 4th April, Thursday
Time:6:30 PM-

I had applied for Woolite Sample and Share with Crowdtap. One fine day I got an e-mail saying that I had been chosen to participate in this. The day arrived when my package was delivered to my doorstep. I opened it and found inside there were 10 Sample packs of Woolite with a Coupon inside. There was also a Gift Card for buying things needed for the party.






























PREPARATION FOR THE PARTY: I had planned on inviting 10 guests but I ended up having 12 but that was okay because the idea behind the Party was to enjoy it and then distribute the Samples to the guests,

I bought some Lindor Truffles and Stapled them to the sample along with a Message. They all looked Cute with a make over.





 Here is a Gift Basket that I put together .This for a Door Prize. We decided to do a young Boys' Clothes swapping since all my friends/Guests are of different heights, sizes and different age groups. We had people from mid Thirties to seventies. That's a huge age difference. But all of them had boys or grandsons' of the same age group  so we decided to do that.













FOOD and Drinks: Food is very important at any party. I had arranged for Soup* and salad Dinner. Fresh Strawberries, Bread and Butter, Pita Chips with Hummus and Salsa was also served. Coffee, tea, Soda , fresh ice cold water was to quench the thirst.

The Desserts were home baked Peanut Butter Blossoms and Warm freshly baked Brownies.

























After Dinner we washed some clothes using Woolite that I had in my house.  and my Guests couldn't believe it how the clothes cam out smelling so good and they 
looked so shiny and clean.

Granier USA: Olia Oil Powered Permanent Hair Color Review for BzzAgent.




I was very excited to know that I was chosen to test this New Hair Color Product by Garnier USA Called Olia , Oil Powered Permanent Hair Color. My free product came in the form
of a Coupon. I love doing Sample testing for BzzAgent . They are super organized  and the Products and Coupons show up in the mail box in a timely manner and they give us plenty of time to submit our reviews because they perhaps know that some of their members have jobs that keep them very busy.







I bought my Free Garnier Olia Hair Color from Rite Aid because these were on sale and  I got it  for a great price that fit my free Coupon. I bought #2.0 Soft Black color to suit the Natural Color of my hair.  There are 24 Shades in this Hair Color line. I found two colors in Black itself and I picked up Soft Black.


 Here is a Shade range:










I work at an Elementary School so I was waiting for my Spring Break to try this product because I wanted to read all the instructions and do it right. So, finally I decided to give it a try today.





I was very happy to know that there is no Ammonia in this Hair Color and there is 60% Natural Flower Oil in Colorant.





I opened the Box and found everything that I would have needed to color my hair neatly packed in the Box.





 Contents of the Box:


1. Instructions on how to mix and use this Product


2. A pair of Black Gloves to protect our hands


3. A Tear Drop Shaped Bottle for mixing


4. Colorant 


5. Developer


6. Conditioner





How to prepare the hair Color and Apply: Mix Developer and Colorant in the empty Bottle provided be sure to wear the gloves provided by them. Break the tip off. Wear a Towel to protect your Clothes. Apply directly in to the hair from the Bottle starting from the Roots and then message gently for even coverage. Leave on for 30 Minutes. message again and rinse until the water comes clear. Voila your comes out looking Super Shiny, Healthy and smells very good. 





Here is a How to Video :


Here is my before and After Picture:

BEFORE



















AFTER Olia Pictures: MY Hair looks Softer, Feels Fuller, Shinier than ever before and smells like flowers.

TIP: 1. Always try a spot test to see if your skin reacts to this if not then go ahead and use it

2. I always like to apply some lotion to my skin around my hair line to avoid the hair color getting in to my skin. I apply the hair Color and wipe off the color that got on to my skin with a Cotton Ball or a damp paper towel.

I had tons of fun using this Product and I would 100% recommend to others to use it too and I hope that my friends and family members will have fun using it too.

1. 1 Free Product Coupon
2. 5 $1.00 off Coupons for my use or for sharing

I made this meal for my Husband and I. The Burgers are Spicy Black bean Veggie Burgers that I bought with the Free Product Coupon that I got from BzzAgent. It was a very delicious dinner  and I can't wait for my Son to come home so that he too can enjoy it with us.



I made the Spread/Dip @ home from Alton Brown's Recipe that I found in Food Network.com:

Directions
In a saute pan over medium heat add oil, heat and add onions and salt. Cook the onions until they are caramelized, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Mix the rest of the ingredients, and then add the cooled onions. Refrigerate and stir again before serving.



Today I made a Salad using MorningStar Farms Spicy Veggie Buffalo Wings. It was absolutely delicious.

Here is the recipe:

1. 5 Pieces Buffalo Wings
2.5-6 Strawberries Sliced
3. 2 Tbsp Sliced Red Onions
4. 1/2 Orange sliced and skinned
5. 2 Tbsp fruit based Vinaigrette ( I used Wish Bone Raspberry and walnuts Vinaigrette)
6. 1 Tbsp Craisins or Dried Cranberries
7. 10-15 Roasted Pecans.
8. Couple slices of English Cumbers unpeeled

8. Handful of Spring Mix Lettuce




Method: Roast Pecans in a little Olive oil in a Heavy Bottom Pan sprinkle some sea salt over it. Mix everything in a large Bowl. Prepare Buffalo Wings as per instructions on the box. Slice the wings and add to the vegetables and lastly add Vinaigrette mix and enjoy.

Cafe Escapes K-Cup Review for BzzAgent



Thanks BzzAgent and Cafe Escapes for giving me this wonderful opportunity to try Cafe Escapes K-cup Beverages. When I heard about this beverages being sold in the Market I immediately wanted to try them but then I found out that Keurig.com from where I normally buy my K-Cups had sold out all the Caramel flavors. I was very disappointed.
Then one day I got an e-mail from BzzAgent.com because I'm a BzzAgent (www.bzzAgent.com) asking me to apply for this opportunity. I had to do a very easy prequalifying survey to see if I was eligible or not. I immediately was told that my samples are on the way. I was very ecstatic.

One fine day I got a Box in my mailbox with a familiar Honey Bee on it, I knew right away what it was. I ran inside my house to see what flavors did I get and I was very happy to see that I had gotten couple Caramel K-cups from Cafe Escapes that I really,really wanted to try.

I washed my hands and immediately started my Keurig Brewer and slipped one caramel flavored K-cup in the K-cup holder.Within seconds my Beverage was ready and was filling my Kitchen with delicious and enticing Aroma of Caramel.

                                 













                                             
It is very hard for me to take a Picture of myself with my Mobile Phone and smile. My Beverage was very delicious. I shared some of it with my Husband too and he absolutely loved it.

It was very sophisticated , delicious  very aromatic and very creamy but slightly on the sweeter side and I would loved it to be a little less sweet. may be they will soon come with a lite version for people who do not have a very sweet tooth. Yummy!!!!!!


I drank two cups of caramel Flavored Cafe Escapes right away. I couldn't wait for another day to drink another cup.

But overall a great drink and I highly recommend it especially if you are not much of a coffee drinker then it is just the ideal drink on a cold winter days.  










 I loved the caramel Flavor so much so next it was my turn to try out     the vanilla Flavor. This flavor was delicious but Caramel one is still my favorite and I am already thinking of buying some as soon as possible.
                                                
 I got the $2 off Coupons that I'm going to use please let me know if you also want to try them and want to use some coupons. 












That's me enjoying my Caramel Escapes Beverage with a good Book. It was fun and very comforting to be able to do that on a very cold winter evening when i wasn't working and I  had already finished cooking.











                                                                  















Here is hot cup of Vanilla Flavored Cafe Escapes waiting for me to drink it. I better hurry and stock up on Caramel and vanilla Cafe Escapes K-cups because I have a Bunco party coming up soon and I want my friends to try these too because they also have a keurig brewing machine in their house.
