{BzzAgent Campaign} FIBER ONE mealbars

"Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to jump through complex hoops constructed from kale, quinoa and the like to maintain a healthy lifestyle. When hunger hits, pick up a Fiber One® Meal Bar to curb cravings and get the protein and fiber you need!"

I received two boxes of Fiber One meal bars to try: one Strawberry with Greek Yogurt and one Chocolate Peanut Butter. 

I ate them as meal replacements for both breakfast and lunch on the go and they were VERY filling. The Strawberry Greek Yogurt was by far my favorite of the two! Here is the nutrition info for you along with the ingredients. It's basically strawberry flavored cranberries in that bar (I thought that was weird, but I'm guessing that actual strawberries don't dehydrate into tasty, juicy little chewy bits like cranberries do!) with lots of almonds. I was surprised by the amount of almonds! Incredibly filling, I was surprised that this satisfied my hunger and kept me going til my next meal! 

I did not, however, like the flavor of the Chocolate Peanut Butter. It was jam-packed with peanuts and chocolate chips as you can see from my instagram pic below. What you can't see, is the layer of chocolate on the bottom of the bar. The chocolate really did satisfy my sweet tooth, but I didn't like the flavor over all. 

These are available in most grocery stores now, so if you're looking for a meal replacement bar for on the go breakfasts or lunches that are satisfying, filling, and hits your sweet tooth, check them out! I totally recommend the Strawberry Greek Yogurt. 

{BzzAgent Campaign} Neutrogena Nourishing Long Wear Make Up!

Man, is that what I look like when I'm speaking to someone? Yikes. I feel so self-conscious now. Eep!

But yes! The newest BzzAgent campaign is for Neutrogena's nourishing long wear makeup! It is supposed to give you 12 hours of coverage, correcting your tone, and protecting your face with SPF 20!

This is Nude #40, which is very light. I'll be back with pictures showing if it covers my hint of rosacea and other funky mismatched discolorations I have on my face! :) 

I am a BzzAgent and received this product free from them to try! <3 

{BzzAgent} Fair Trade Coffee from Green Mountain Coffee!

 Mmmm coffee. Nectar of the gods. The reason I am functioning in the morning. And now with Green Mountain Coffee you can feel good about the great tasting coffee you are drinking. Why? Fair Trade, baby!

"Fair Trade certification gives farmers a fair price for their beans with a guaranteed minimum, which means they can invest in their crops, their communities, and their future. Fair Trade also lets Green Mountain Coffee® and farmers work closely together to bring the best tasting coffee to market."

So, yes, that cup of coffee you brewed in your Keurig helps the farmers DIRECTLY.

I got to try these flavors for free thanks to BzzAgent and was amazed at the delicious strong taste of the Three Continent Blend, but I think my favorite is the Sumatran Reserve. Rich, bold, and delicious, it was quite wonderful!

Ripoff Report - Buyer Beware - REJUVENEX and ZINN BEAUTY

So. My mom just learned the hard way that those online advertisements are bunk and to not buy from any company online other than trustworthy, established companies. 

Rejuvenex Now and Zinn Beauty are total scams.

They claim that you'll get a free sample, but if you read the fine print, you're shipped the FULL SIZE product and have only a short amount of time to return the product (which you have to pay for AGAIN (you paid shipping to get it to you and now you have to pay for shipping to get it back to them) and THEN they might deign to credit you. 

But here's where I get pissed off...I read the fine print, I informed my mom of what she missed, that's fine and dandy, but trying to cancel it IS A NIGHTMARE. 

Rejuvenex is clear that you have a set amount of time before they charge you $129.99 But here's the kicker: you call to try and return it and suddenly the noise level in the background of the customer call center you're calling skyrockets. And then you're put on hold. They pick up and tell you their computer is slow. Then you're on hold again. And again. And again. You tell them you want to cancel and they get loud and overtalk you and DO NOT LISTEN TO YOUR DEMANDS. Then they tell you that your trial period is up and you're screwed, but they'll drop the price to $89.99. Every time you insist you want to cancel, the "agent" over rides you, basically yelling at you, with offer aftre offer after offer of trying to keep this CRAP PRODUCT. 

Oh yeah  the product? It's crap. Ponds cold cream is better than this $120 set of CRAP. 
So now onto Zinn Beauty. They're selling a little bottle of Argan Oil. Did they tell me from the get go that it's $89.99? No. They said you can get if for free for the amount of shipping $2.99 just because you ordered REJUVENEX! Oh joy! Something free for getting ripped off! 

BUT WAIT. 

It, too, is only a free trial apparently although NOWHERE ON THE PAPERWORK IT ARRIVED WITH (which looked like an elementary school handout) does it say so! You get a receipt that says $2.99 and THAT IS IT. No mention that this is a trial or you'll be charged later. Then suddenly 10 days later, BAM! Your bank account/credit card is slammed with $89.99 charge AGAIN.

Count 'em, folks. That's TWO charges in ONE day for shitastic products. Stick to the Organix Moroccan Oil you buy at the grocery store. 

What have we learned today? If it's too good to be true, it is. And even if you  THINK you have a firm handle on this and will call to cancel, that's no guarantee these deceitful bastards will cancel it for you. 

I just lost $200 through their fraudulent practices. Do I trust that they have cancelled my "Subscription"? Hell no. But stop payments are a wonderful thing. 

Piss off, wankers. 

BzzCampaign: LUSTER DISTINCTLY WHITE

A stunningly whiter smile can be yours with Distinctly White Dual-Action Whitening System:

• Visibly whitens teeth in as little as 2 days, with complete results in just 3 days
• Features a simple 2-step, dual-action whitening process
• Includes a gentle, cleansing mouth rinse to pre-treat teeth and whitening gel with active dental peroxide to whiten surface and deep stains
• Enamel safe
• Will not cause tooth sensitivity

Luster's Distinctly White is my newest BzzCampaign from Bzzagent! Everyone wants whiter teeth. It makes you look younger and healthier! I've had my teeth whitened by a dentist about a decade ago and while the results were amazing and lasted a while, they made my teeth ACHE. Holy sensitivity, Batman! It hurt to breathe! I couldn't sip a drink through a straw for a few days! Yikes! And then I went back to smoking and it all went to hell in a handbag. 

Well, I quit smoking and although I'm pretty pleased with my teeth, they still have some staining and I would love for them to be brighter! 

Here are some before pics, without make up and then with make up (lipstick, you know how it can make your teeth look different!)

 Not too bad, right? These close ups can make a girl self conscious! I"m now pointing out to myself that I have a zit there, some plaque build up there, yikes! lol 

Now the toothpaste NOW! is supposed to brighten your teeth in ONE brushing, a optical illusion of sorts. So I did that today and snapped a pic before trying the whitening system! 

What do you think? I think it's definitely brighter although that could be the flash! I then did the pre-treatment rinse and painted on the whitening gel. The rinse was a mild pleasant flavor. I made sure to swish the front teeth especially since that is where you want the whitening! I then painted on the gel and kept my lips pulled back from my teeth for 30 seconds as instructed until it dried. 

The directions say to do it for 12 treatments, so I'll check back in with you in a week to show the progress! 

The dual action system retails for about $12.99! Not bad at all! 

Zone Perfect Greek Yogurt Chocolate bar

My Good Life Vox Box included a chocolate Zone Perfect Greek Yogurt bar to try! This puppy has 12g of protein, 3g of fiber, 190 calories, and 6 grams of fat.

So this has 3 times the amount of protein you could find in a Snickers bar (I chose to compare to Snickers since it has peanuts = protein) and less than 1/2 the fat of a Snickers bar (16.4g) as well as 106 less calories.




Here's a photo of mine from instagram! I took it with me in case I got hungry while out and about. I must say...this is a dense little bar with a strong flavor of chocolate! It has a nice fudgy layer of chocolate at the top over the dense, almost brownie-granola like blend bar, and that whole thing is covered in a creamy greek yogurt. Delicious!

I can't wait to try the raspberry and the vanilla berry. I bet these keep me full longer with all that protein and yet still satisfy my sweet tooth!

Thank you to Influenster and Zone Perfect for letting me try a sample!
