Goyalicious dinner !

Tonight I used my bzz kit from bzz agent to make dinner. Included in the kit was yellow rice, low sodium black beans and Abobo seasoning. I received everything in the kit for free !! I provided the chicken.

The rice was simple to make, just boil water and let the rice simmer for twenty minutes or so. It was very flavorful and adding the beans pushed it over the top.

As for my chicken, I rubbed the Adobo seasoning all over it and pan fried it in some olive oil. Again lots of flavor.

I was always a fan of Goya but never tried the rice in the past, I am cettainly glad bzz agent picked me for this campaign because now I will be buying the Goya rice !!!

Needless to say the meal was a hit with the family. Thank you Goya and thank you bzz agent !!

Bzzy Bee with Bzz Agent

I am loving Bzz Agent !! I am involved in 4 campaigns so far, yippee. 

First I have Morning Star Farms which I recently received my kit for. I am just deciding what I want to try, I am thinking just a good ol veggie burger since my oldest is not a fan of meat and we are always looking for a decent alternative. As soon as I redeem my coupon for my free product I will post my thoughts and pics of my burger.

Next is the Goya campaign, I love Goya anyway so I am super excited about this one. I am married to a Guatemalan so I am familiar with their black beans and Adobo seasoning which by the way works well with pretty much any protein. I have yet to try their rice but I will share my thoughts on that when I receive my bzz kit.

Third campaign which I got into yesterday is the Glade Expressions campaign. I do like their room spray so I am happy to try the reed diffuser. This will come in handy when I finally move into my new apartment.  I  have never used a reed diffuser so it will be a new experience for sure :-)

Last but not least is the Schick Hydro Silk campaign which I just got accepted into this morning. Now when it comes to razors I am particular, I always use a Gillette razor which works well for me. I am curious to see how this razor works out for me. 

Stay tuned for all my reviews and keep your eyes peeled for even more campaigns I get in on !!!

Something strange is going on

Yesterday FedEx showed up at my door, of course I was all kinds of excited after all I spend two hours a night entering sweepstakes. After I signed and the delivery man left I noticed the oddness.

First of all the package was under my maiden name, second the phone number on the slip was not mine. I opened it looking for the congratulations note, there was none.

What was in the package you ask ? A PX90 kit ! I called the customer service number on the packing slip and explained to the man on the phone that I received a package from them that I did not order hr apologized and connected me to his supervisor. Long story short she said a credit card was charged which now I am thinking was an old expired card of mine ( unsure how it got charged if it expired ). The email address she had was not my current address nothing was adding it. She offered to email a shipping label for me to return it and I requested she arrange with FedEx to pick it up at that point she said we cannot do that you can give it away to anybody a friend or family. Umm that makes no sense. She did cancel any future  I did cover my behind and asked her to email me stating I could give it away. Still waiting for that.

After the call I decided to check my very old enail account from hotmail, Lo and behold the phone number from the packing slip was the same as the one I had on that account. My maiden name was on that account too. I am now weirded out and worried. I closed that account. And I am going to order my credit report just to make sure things are kosher.

If I was hacked don't you think the person would have used their address. I am not understanding. Has this happened to anyone else ? Any ideas as to what is going on ?

Extraction....yowza

I hate well not hate but strongly dislike the dentist, fear them is more like it.

Last week I developed a tooth ache that just kept getting worse so I bit the bullet and called my dentist, snagged an appointment for the next day thinking I would get antibiotics or something painless and easy. But noooo the xray showed a deep filling hitting a nerve hence the pain.

What were my options you ask ? Root canal or an extraction, I went with the extraction. It was the second to last tooth on the top in the back so you cannot see it's gone besides insurance wouldn't pay for the root canal !

New England Oral Surgery are amazing especially Dr. Chu, she saw I was terrified and tried to calm me.  She tried extracting with me awake but the tooth was too dense, needed to be broken and I was having a heart attack so she put me to sleep. This was all on Tuesday, today my mouth is still a little sore buy I feel so much better.

If you live in Massachusetts and need oral surgery I strongly suggest New England Oral Surgery.

Bzz Agent and Morning Star Farms

I am so excited, my bzz kit came in for Morning Star Farms !! The kit included $1.00 off coupons for friends and a coupon for free product for me to try and tell everyone my thoughts. I am debating what to try, I might go with a plain veggie burger. My oldest does not eat meat so this is something for her as well. As soon as I pick up my choice you know I will be blogging about it so keep your eyes peeled !!!!

Quick recap

So far the month of January has been busy, which is good !

I am reviewing Clairol shampoo which beauty.com had sent me for free to use for three weeks. Look for that review on here come Thursday.

I was accepted on a mission for smile360, it's for Campbells kettle soup. I an really looking forward to that. In addition to free soup they are sending along some socks. As soon as it arrives I will post pictures.

And last but not least I have been accepted into a camaign for Morning Star Farms by the Bzz Agents. I will be receiving coupons to try veggie burgers or meatless sausage, bacon etc. It's a good way to cut down on red meat ehich I love oh so much !!

That's what's going on so far, hopefully more opportunities arise !

Happy New Year

2012 was a very rough year for me; I lost my job ( doctor removed me from work when I was 5 months pregnant ) I lost my apartment, my car, and more.

However the silver lining was the birth of my second daughter, who is perfectly healthy. No surgeries in 2012 for my oldest daughter which is a feat in it's own ! And Jewelia (my oldest ) graduated middle school and moved onto high school which she loves.

I have faith that 2013 will be a little easier on me, after all I handled everything 2012 threw at me. All I have to say is bring it on.
