Curél® Intensive Healing Cream- You deserve skin like this!

As a BzzAgent, I have the opportunity to try new or popular products for free, with the inclusion of coupons, and then to review and share the products with others.  One of my more recent campaigns has been for Curél^® Intensive Healing Cream.

Being a female, I have tried more lotions and creams than I can possibly count.  That being said, I have never been more impressed by anything than Curél^® Intensive Healing Cream.

It has blown my mind!

As I get older, my skin has started to get drier and drier by the year, and that’s especially true when fall and winter come blowing in.  Ever since I can remember using lotion or cream, it has taken weeks for anything to even remotely begin to work, and even then I feel like I have to use it several times every day. That can be really costly.

I started using Curél^® Intensive Healing Cream the first day I received my BzzKit.  Within only two days, I noticed a difference. And several weeks later, my skin has not only lost any flakiness or pain associated with the dryness, but it actually feels supple.  There is moisture in it! 

The best part, I only needed to use it once a day.  So, it doesn’t just work, but you don’t have to cake it on every hour to keep it working.  (You will want to use it more than once a day, only because it feels so fabulous going on your skin.) Curél^® Intensive Healing Cream will save me money, because it is a quality cream.  It does what it says it does. 

Curél^’s positive reputation as leader in skin care and it's 9 out of 10 dermatologist recommendation tells you that it is something you can trust.  Curél^® Intensive Healing Cream's Advanced Ceramide Therapy helps to restore your skin’s natural barrier, meaning that it has the ability to not only repair dry skin, but to prevent it.  Curél^® Intensive Healing Cream is also fragrance free and hypo-allergenic, meaning it’s great for any woman, or man.  It is also pediatrician approved for children six months and older.  Finally, Curél^® is a proud partner of the American Diabetes Association, meaning that Curél^® Intensive Healing Cream is approved to help people with diabetes in the healing and prevention of dry skin caused specifically by diabetes.

 

I love that Christmas is coming up, which means that family and friends generally get some extra time off and you get to see people that you may not get to see very often. Children come home from college for a few weeks and maybe the grandparents come to visit. So, if you are looking to give someone an extra cool gift for the holidays or just because you don’t get to see them very often, think about this…

 

Everyone can use a day at the spa, but we don’t always have the time or money.  Think about putting together a spa gift basket for someone you care about. Maybe include some popcorn and a movie, some hot chocolate and a book, or maybe a great bottle of wine. You could include a candle, soap, shampoo, a great pair of pajamas or comfy socks, a blanket, and, most importantly, Curél^® Intensive Healing Cream. They will absolutely love it!

 

Curél^® Intensive Healing Cream will be a skin treatment you pass on to your daughter, share with your sister, or, like me, share with your mom.  I’m even giving a jar to my brother. 

 

You deserve to have skin like this.  Just try it, and I know that you will be just as impressed as I am.

A Motivational Morning with Green Mountain Coffee® Fair Trade Certified Coffee

At my university I am a part of a group called the “Morning Motivators.” Our group contains about 26 people and our purpose is to provide students with a great start to their day. Once a week we set up a few tables in a common area and offer coffee, breakfast food, a motivational quote of the day, and school supplies. One week we may give away folders, another notebooks, another pens, and so on. Local organizations, students, and groups from the university provide donations in order for us to afford our supplies. Approximately 100 students pass through each week. All of the “Morning Motivators” have their own special interest, and each week one of us is selected to share our interest during the once a week morning giveaway. 

This Thursday, I thought it would be a great opportunity to share Green Mountain Coffee®’s Fair Trade Certified message with others. I am also conveniently always in charge of the coffee section, and we use a Keurig so everyone gets their own personalized cup. It was a perfect opportunity.

Earlier this week, I purchased eight 24 count packs: Pumpkin Spice, Colombian Fair Trade Select, Nantucket Blend, Our Blend, Three Continent Blend, Vermont Country Blend, Organic Sumatran Reserve Extra Bold, and Wild Mountain Blueberry. Of course I used a coupon, but saved the rest to share with others.

Although the Keurig is a fast brewer, it gave me about a minute to explain that week’s message. I began by explaining that as a BzzAgent, I have the opportunity to try new or popular products for free, with the inclusion of coupons, and then to review and share the products with others. My newest campaign is for GreenMountain Coffee® Fair Trade Certified coffee.

I explained that purchasing Green Mountain Coffee®Fair Trade Certified coffee helps to ensure that farmers in third world countries receive adequate compensation for their work in a country where they would otherwise be exploited for low wage labor. This gives farmers an opportunity to invest in their crops, communities, and the future. That means that every time you purchase a product from Green Mountain Coffee® Fair TradeCertified, you are helping those less fortunate in other countries to build roads, develop schools, and farmers to have a better life. Finally, I noted that Green Mountain Coffee® has been named the world’s largest purchaser of Fair Trade Certified coffee, which means that Green Mountain Coffee®, Fair Trade, and coffee farmers work together to bring the best quality coffee to the market.

I also passed out a small flyer with that explained my role as a BzzAgent, a brief explanation of Fair Trade certification, and how Green Mountain Coffee® works with Fair Trade. I made sure to include links to the BzzAgent website, Keurig website, and Green Mountain Coffee®’s website.

I also asked that they please help me spread the good vibes with GreenMountain Coffee® and Fair Trade for Fair Trade Month.  I suggested that they check out Green Mountain Coffee®’s ChoseFairTrade.com. And, to not forget to enter to win two tickets to see Kelly Clarkson perform a New York City concert for Fair Trade Month on the Green Mountain Coffee® Facebook page.

While students pass through and grab their goodies, the each write their name and email on a small piece of paper. At the end of our morning session, we draw a name and that person gets a goody bag delivered to them. For that day, we included a k-cup of each flavor of Green Mountain Coffee® Fair Trade Certified coffee we had used that morning and a coupon. Everyone loved it. Pumpkin Spice was the hit of the day.

I'm Going Brew a Cup of Great Coffee and Spread the Good Vibes

As a BzzAgent, I have the opportunity to try new or popular products for free, with the inclusion of coupons, and then to review and share the products with others. 

My newest campaign is for Green Mountain Coffee® Fair Trade Certified coffee.

Let me begin by explaining a little bit about GreenMountain Coffee® and what it means to be Fair Trade Certified. 

Green Mountain Coffee® has been named the world’s largest purchaser of Fair Trade Certified coffee. Green Mountain Coffee®, Fair Trade, and coffee farmers work together to bring the best quality coffee to the market. 

Fair Trade Certified means that farmers in third world countries receive adequate compensation for their work in a country where they would otherwise be exploited for low wage labor. Fair Trade certification ultimately means a fair price for the beans and labor, which gives farmers an opportunity to invest in their crops, communities, and the future. That means that every time you purchase a product from Green Mountain Coffee® with the Fair Trade Certified labels, you are helping those less fortunate in other countries to build roads, develop schools, and farmers to have a better life. 

You should never take for granted that when you  brew a cup of Green Mountain Coffee® Fair Trade Certified coffee, that you have a roof over your head, children going to school, safe roads to drive on to work, or just the fact that you have something to brew coffee in. And, most likely you have those things because your job pays you adequately. 

By choosing Green Mountain Coffee®’s Fair Trade Certified coffee, you aren’t just doing something positive for others and supporting a company that is dedicated to just that, but you are choosing a variety of coffees with unbeatable quality, variety, and flavor. Nantucket Blend and Vermont Country Blend are my favorites, and Pumpkin Spice is here just in time for fall.

Please help me spread the good vibes with Green Mountain Coffee® and Fair Trade for Fair Trade Month.  Check out Green Mountain Coffee®’s ChoseFairTrade.com. And, don’t forget to enter to win two tickets to see Kelly Clarkson perform a New York City concert for Fair Trade Month on the Green Mountain Coffee® Facebook page.

I always joke that coffee is my happiness in the morning, but the truth is, it is not just my happiness, but people's around the world. So let me make you happy by sharing that if you go to Green Mountain Coffee® there is a coupon code for a $1 off posted on the homepage of the site. 

Save money and spread the good vibes.

Give Land O'Lakes® Sauté Express® Sauté Starters as a Wedding Gift!

I recently had a friend get married, and before the wedding I was scanning my mind with what kind of gift I could give that would really be from the heart. I wanted something creative and unique. Land O'Lakes® Sauté Express® Sauté Starters inspired me with really cool idea to start her a recipe box with recipes from the important women in her life. It would be something she could add to over the years and one day pass along to a woman in her own family - hopefully a daughter! I bought a beautiful box to store the recipes in, some recipe cards which I decorated to add a personal touch, and some dividers.

 Before the bridal shower ended, I had passed out goodie bags to everyone and dropped a coupon in some of the bags. After the bridal shower, I asked all of the women if they could stay and talk to me for a second. So, after the bride left, we all stayed to help clean up. 

First, I explained that as a BzzAgent, I have the opportunity to try new or popular products for free, with the inclusion of coupons, and then to review and share the products with others. I explained that one of my most recent campaign involved Land O' Lakes® SautéExpress® Sauté Starters. I added that when trying to think of a wedding gift, LandO' Lakes® Sauté Express® Sauté Starters gave me the perfect idea. 

I explained the idea recipe box and asked if they could give me one or two recipes. I also shared that if they didn’t have a recipe, the Land O' Lakes® Sauté Express® Sauté Starters had some great ideas for fun, creative, unique, and easy things to try. I added that they come in five varieties: Savory Butter and Olive Oil, Italian Herb, Lemon Pepper, Garlic and Herb, and the new Teriyaki. They are great to use with chicken and pork and even fruit and vegetables. They allow for quick cooking and could be cost effective, because they could help to eliminate a lot of preparation time. "One step, no prep." And since it would just be the two of my friends for most dinners, Land O' Lakes® Sauté Express® Sauté Starters gives them the opportunity to prepare meals on a smaller scale just right for a newly married couple. I made sure to note that it was of course great for larger families too.

I thought it would be a good idea to give them an example of a recipe I was going to include. I passed out a paper including a copy of the recipe to everyone with my phone number, address, and email on the bottom, so they could contact me with their own recipes. Of course, I shared with them my family loved recipe for Land O' Lakes® Sauté Express® SautéStarter Grilled Chicken Pockets.

When the ladies began contacting me the next week, several of them said that they had tried my Land O' Lakes® Sauté Express® SautéStarters and loved it, thanked me for a coupon, or they thought it sounded really great and planned on trying it in the future.

Land O' Lakes® Sauté Express® Sauté Starters is an excellent value and time efficient way of preparing meals. It is exciting to think that I shared such a great product and ideas with others. Meals are after all a time for sharing.

 Find them in the dairy isle!

Land O' Lakes® Sauté Express® SautéStarter Grilled Chicken Pockets

Take 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts and cut into 2-inch cubes (1 lb), then cut 1 medium green and 1 medium red bell pepper into 1 1/2-inch cubes, then take a cup pineapple chunks. Take 2 cubes of the Land O' Lakes® Sauté Express® Sauté Starter in Teriyaki and divide in halves.

1. Heat your gas or charcoal grill.

2. Cut 4 (24x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Divide chicken, bell peppers, pineapple chunks and Land O' Lakes® SautéExpress® Sauté Starter halves in Teriyaki among the four foil sheets. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again. Make sure you allow space for the heat to circulate and expand. Fold other sides to seal.

3 Place the packets on the grill over medium heat. Cover it and cook about 6 minutes. Use tongs to carefully turn packets over. Make sure not to puncture foil. Cook for about another 10 minutes. Make sure chicken is no longer pink in the center and vegetables are crisp-tender.

You can put them on a skewer, enjoy it by itself, or lay over some rice.
