Campbell's Slow Kettle Style Soups
It was snowing, and cold here so it was the perfect thing for lunch. I had chosen the kickin crab and corn chowder; the portion is large and filling, there were beautiful chunks of veggies and crab in it and it was nicely flavored. I was very happy and warm after eating it. In addition to the free soup they had thrown in some funky long socks so I was snug and warm today for sure.
I personally recommend the soups, they are reasonably priced and like I said I large portion. I must add again that I received the soup for free and this is my own personal opinion about the soup.
Do me a favor and click this link it's for my review on smiley360 ! Thanks all :-)

Viral Infection and fractured ribs
Let's say things have been interesting around here. My oldest slipped on ice and landed on a small wall. She was hurting so we paid a visit to the ER, which btw was quick and efficient. The verdict...fractured ribs. She is much better now, thank goodness. My first thought when she fell was please let the hardware in her back be alright and thankfully it was.
Fast forward a few downs and my little one starts coughing like crazy. Not the barking kind but a chesty one. Throw in a runny nose, fever and not eating and what do we have, a viral infection. The fever only lasted two days but we are still fighting the cough and runny nose. The worst is when the Dr. tested for the flu. I am glad to say she is feeling a but better but are not 100%.
Hopefully this is the worst of the cold and flu season for us. Stay healthy everyone.

MorningStar Farms Veggie burger night !
For dinner tonight I made veggie burgers and I was surprised... I liked them ! You must understand, I love meat, I grew up on it and savor it.
What I especially liked about the Morningstar Farms veggie burger is that it fit the bun perfectly and the texture resembled hamburger. I am big in textures as well. They were seasoned well and had a little kick to them. I will definitely be buying some come grilling season.
Now for the legal mumbo jumbo; I received a coupon from bzz agent to try for free and review Morningstar Farms veggie burgers.
Thanks for reading !

Glade Mist is delightful
For the mist I went with Fuji Apple and cardamom spice, it is quite refreshing. I adore the smell of apples and with the spice it makes my living room smell like apple pie. It's nice, light and refreshing. I have gotten many compliments on it so far.
In the computer room is where I placed the oil diffuser. I went with pineapple mangosteen. In addition to my love of the apple scent I love the pineapple scent. It reminds me of summer ! And believe me I need that hope right now, there is 2 feet of snow sitting outside my window ( I was in the path of blizzard Nemo ). The decoration of the diffuser is stylish and modern and it went with my oddly painted orange walls.
All in all I am very happy with Glade and their products. I would like to reiterate that I received coupons from Bzz Agent to try the Glade Mist and Glade oil diffuser for free.
Thanks for reading. Peace Love and Pixie Dust <3

Target has some great deals for bambinos !
I happened to stumble upon a fantastic clearance sale at Target last night. I got complete Disney outfits for $6.00, toys for as low as $2.49 and jammies were $4.20. Granted a majority of the pajamas were Christmas themed but who cares !!!
They are also having their advertised baby sale which is quite large and reasonable so if you have a little one, expecting or like to stock up for gifts then head out there.

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
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 !!!
