Once again www.bzzagent.com sent me a yummy coupon, this time to try a Mrs Smith's pie for free. I went with cherry with the original flaky crust. I really intended it to be for the family for Easter as one of the desserts, no really. However knowing the pie was in the freezer and knowing I had whipping cream in the fridge just weighed heavily on my taste buds. Give me a break I am pregnant !!
It was easy to prepare, just pre-heat your oven and pop the bad boy in till the crust is golden brown. If for some reason the edges cooked faster than the rest of the pie then cover the edges with foil ( I really should have done that but meh ) While the pie was going I whipped that cream into well whipped cream goodness. I was not very clever when it came to pairing it with something but it was still so good.
I did burn the edges of my crust ( I really should have covered the edges ) but it did not matter. It smelled so good. I covered our slices in cream and dug in. The cherries were nice and tart, the crust so buttery and good. It was nice and easy to make and could pass as home made. Next time I will try apple and share with the extended family !

Yup it's true ! I was recently offered an opportunity to try our a service called esalon by bzzagent for free. It came at the perfect time, I swear the bzz agent bees saw the state of my hair and threw this campaign at me, lol.
I logged onto https://www.esalon.com/ and filled out my profile which included uploading a photo and choosing a color. I actually had a good time doing this, maybe I do not get out enough ( shrugging ...) I went with Mahogany Red, after choosing my color I got to choose some extra goodies, up to $60 worth as part as my campaign; I went with Shampoo, Conditioner, Clips, bowl and brush so I can feel like hair dresser while coloring my hair. Shipping was super quick, took a matter of days and it was tracked.
To my surprise when I opened my box, which was so nicely packaged inside I got a free bottle of hair color, stuff to put around my hairline and ears (essentially Vaseline ) and stain remover for the places I missed, whoop whoop ! After I got my tot to sleep I busted out the old towels and slipped on the rubber gloves...I did the usual mixing like a mad scientist and then for the first time ever I clipped my hair into sections and used the hair dresser bowl and brush to paint my hair, well that did not go so well it's so much harder than it looks doing it to yourself especially the back of your own head. I ended up just using my hands like I normally would with a box from Target or someplace similar. I hate to say anything negative but I must be honest, the smell of the dye was horrible it made my eyes water for the whole 30 minutes it was in my hair, I could not wait to rinse this stuff out. After rinsing and conditioning the smell was gone thank goodness.
The color was more mahogany than red until the sunlight hit my hair THEN it was red, red, red ...I LOVE it. With esalon you never have to worry about running to the store to buy more dye they will deliver every 4,6 or 8 weeks and charge your card accordingly and you can cancel anytime or just order here and there. It's all up to you. It's all reasonably priced as well. Please check out my before and After pictures as well as my box of goods.

Once again I was chosen for an awesome campaign from www.bzzagent.com, it was for the Nuetrogena Triple Repair Hair Care System. The system included shampoo, conditioner and leave in conditioner. It protects your locks from heat for up to 400 degrees, which is perfect for me since I am pretty much attached to my flat iron since getting my hair cut ! I know it's terrible for my hair but I love the way it looks.
I am also known to color my hair every couple of months since is again not fantastic for my hair but this is needed, lol I have grays that need to be covered ! Since starting the system my hair has gotten softer, and shinier. It also claims to help prevent split ends and I agree so my friends put the scissors down.
There were some things that I did not love such as the scent, not a huge deal since I do spray stuff in my hair after using the flat iron so the shampoo/conditioner scent really doesn't matter. Also I feel like I have to use a lot of shampoo because it doesn't "spread out " well, it lathers fantastically but just wanted to stay in one spot. Other than that I am a fan.
I am glad I was chosen for this campaign because I never would have tried this Hair care system considering Nuetrogena is known for their facial cleansers, etc. I am a happy mama, with good hair :-)
If you all remember I had told you about my being a bzz agent, well my most recent mission was Red Box....score !!! Red Box kiosks are literally everywhere and are super cheap. If you do not want to go out into the cold or it's too snowy and yucky out just BOOM instantly download a movie onto your computer. Can you tell I am loving this mission ??? I literally get to watch movies for free because I am a bzz agent on this mission.
There are many movies to chose from, including kids movies and tv series. You can even reserve a movie online and it will for sure be at the kiosk when you go there to pick it up. It's quite affordable too, check it out www.redbox.com
