BzzCampaign: Fiber One® Protein Cereal Review

What better way to start the new year than with a new daily routine! The Spring Semester has begun for this blogger and thankfully I am in my final year! Since I am balancing clinicals and school, it is important for me to be able to eat right and stay energized (...lol I do try occasionally!) With all of the new wonderfully fun Bzzcampaigns going out this month, I was incredibly pleased to discover I had been selected to take part in the Fiber One Protein Cereal Bzzcampaign!



Included in my package was:
  • A FREE full-size box of NEW Fiber One® Protein Maple Brown Sugar Cereal
  • A FREE full-size box of NEW Fiber One® Protein Cranberry Almond Cereal
  • Pass along coupons for friends and family to save on either variety of NEW Fiber One® Protein Cereal
  • Bzzagent infor with bzz tips

How lucky can a girl be?! I was definitely looking forward to breakfast the following morning and was not disappointed! My personal favorite was the maple brown sugar. It was so yummy and so full of flavor. It stayed crisp, crunchy, and sweet even after adding the milk!




The added bonus of course was the protein & fiber! To quote bzzagent, " Fiber One Protein Cereal contains 10g of protein when served with milk and 20% daily value of fiber, making it a great option all day long!" You definitely can't go wrong.

This tasty cereal can also go beyond breakfast! This would make a great addition to any parfait or yogurt combo and adds a snazzy crunch to a cookie recipe. The possibilities are endless!

The verdict? This is a must try even for those with more particular tastes (aka sisters with picky taste buds lol)

Do you have some unique ways of eating this cereal other than as a tasty breakfast option? Share them in the comment section! We would love to see them.

BzzCampaign: Schick Hydro Silk Sensative Skin Care Razor

What better way to ring in a brand new year than with a brand spankin' new Bzzcampaign from Bzzagent! When I found out that I would be participating in the Schick Hydro Silk Sensative Skin Care Razor Bzzcampaign, I was pretty excited!

So here are a few admission to start off this review lol. We have been experiencing some really cold temperatures lately which has been a wonderful break from the heat we are so used to year round ... the problem ... I definitely didn't shave my legs as often as I should have and even when I did cheated (lol only shaved below the knee :P ). So now that the warmer temperatures are returning, it is definitely time to get out the razor and shaving lotion/cream and get to work!

My Bzzcampaign kit arrived just in time! I was definitely attracted to the packaging, but felt maybe a simpler box would have worked better as I had to practically tear mine apart to get to the razor.

 

I noticed that the razor came with a plastic holder that could be attached in your shower for storage. To be honest, the holder was rather flimsy and really didn't hold it in place so I just didn't use it.

I did a test run using this razor and decided that I would use my Bic soleil on one leg and the Schick hydro on the other. I gotta say, the bic soleil won hands down. I wasn't too happy with the Schick hydro results. The shave wasn't anywhere near as consistent or close as the soleil. I found that I still had patches of hair and had to go over the areas multiple times.

I used the schick brand shaving cream that was recommended to use with the product and all it did was clog up the blades and make a mess.

HOWEVER!!! There are some great perks to this product.

I do love the moisturizing bands around the blades and found that if you bypass the shaving gel and just moisten your legs with water and use the razor, the shave is actually pretty good and really does leave your legs soft to the touch. I also loved that it really moisturized my skin and didn't leave me feeling dry at all.

It has been 5 days since my shave and I can actually say I am just barely starting to see signs of light stubble. This is actually a pleasant surprise for me as I typically start seeing stubble in as little as 2 days, so I definitely like not having to shave as often!




My verdict on this product would be to give it a try. It is definitely a great product to use for those of us with sensitive skin.

Bzzagent Review - Food Should Taste Good Crisps - Eating Better Tastes Great!

Summer has always been my time for slower living and catching up on much needed R&R. Unfortunately, that usually means me munching on pretty much anything and everything in the fridge and snack counter lol. As usualy, Bzzagent has saved the day and has shown me that eating better doesn't have to feel like deprivation.

What if I told you, that a better snack option could be something as simple as yummy flavored tortilla crisps? I am pretty sure you are thinking I am crazy and should just end my speech here lol.

The Food Should Taste Good brand has come up with an amazing campaign that includes tasty tortilla crisps that are gluten free, cholesterol free, have zero trans fats, are certified Kosher and many varieties are certified vegan! The best part? They taste great! I don't feel like I am eating better at all, but I am. They are crispy and flavorful and really make a tasty treat.

As a bzzagent, I have been given the wonderful opportunity to try these amazing crisps free of charge. Here are a few photos of my amazing bzzkit:







I received: 3 full size bags of Food Should Taste Good Brand Tortilla Chips (Jalapeno, Sweet Potato, and Whole Grain) and 2 Snack Size bags (Olive and Blue Corn). I also receive a lovely grocery bag and chip clip along with amazing coupons!

Their Full Line of Tortilla Chips Include the following flavors:

Blue Corn
Cantina
Cheddar
Chocolate
Jalapeño
Jalapeño with Cheddar
Kettle Corn
Kimchi
Lime
Multigrain
Olive
Sweet Potato
The Works!
Toasted Sesame
White Cheddar

Seriously? How yummy do those sound!! My favorite part about the chips, other than insane tastiness, was the fact that you can see the whole grains without squinting! These chips may look health conscious, but they taste like a guilty pleasure!

Whole Grain Tortilla Chip

Olive Tortilla Chip


Lets get down to the facts:

The chips are gluten free, cholesterol free, have zero trans fats.
Have been recognized with over 50 awards!
The tortilla chips are available in over 15 classic and culinary flavors – from Cheddar to Kimchi – while the Kettle Cooked Sweet Potato Chips come in four varieties .

Bzzagent Review: Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Oil-Free B.B. Cream

Having oily skin is definitely no fun. It is something I have had to deal with since my high school and has always been bothersome. I have to really be picky about the kind of facial creams, I use, the make-up I wear (ESPECIALLY concealer), to how and where I wear sunblock. *insert super hero music here* Bzzagent to the rescue!


This wonderfully kit contained Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector Oil-Free B.B. Cream. So what is a B.B. cream? B.B. Cream, or Beauty Balm Cream, is a new multi-faceted solution for a multitude of skin problems such as:
  • Controls shine
  • Minimizes pores
  • Evens skin tone
  • Hydrates
  • Protects with SPF 20 Sunscreen 


I love that I don't have to wear a mountain of makeup and creams to get the same look of multiple products! The cream is lightweight and really does cover small blemishes. Another perk that really caught my attention was the SPF 20. I am always looking to purchase more and more make-up with spf built in so this was a plus for me. 

The cream blended into my skin nicely and really is an easy addition to my everyday morning regimen. 

I liked that the cream really does reduce the look of large pores and helps smooth out the shiny, oily areas, without leaving a mess of grease or making you look (and feel) like you are wearing a mountain of makeup. For those with oily skin, I really do suggest this product. It helps even out your tone and doesn't add extra oilyness.

It takes a lot of technology to get the kind of results that Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Oil-Free B.B. Cream produces. Here's the lowdown on what you get in every tube:
  • Works on combination to oily skin with three shades: Light/Medium, Medium/Deep, and Deep
  • Ultra absorbent formula contains mineral Perlite, which retains twice its weight in oil and water to control shine
  • Formulated with sheer natural mineral pigments, so you'll get a smooth, flawless finish with each use
  • It's non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic: fancy words that mean Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Oil-Free B.B. Cream won't clog pores or cause breakouts
  • Oil-free, non-greasy
  • Available at mass retailers for a suggested retail price of $12.99
So I did some research online and here are some comments that I have read so far:

"The cream turns orange!"

Hmm I have had mine for about a month now and have never had this problem; however please keep in mind that while we sometimes ignore them, cosmetics do have a shelf life! Make sure to always check the packaging when you make your purchase.

"Make-up wouldn't blend"

Do some research on what you wear! Make sure that you are purchasing the right tone for your skin. There are many shades available  for different skin tones.

"Poor cover-up"

I am in the middle here. While I am happy with the coverage of this product, if you have lots of problem areas or larger problem areas that are sometimes hard to cover, you may want to use your favorite conceal alongside this product as I don't feel that it is great for larger problem areas.

"It made me breakout!"

Creams, lotions, & SPF have different effects on everyone. Make-sure you are using the right type of cream for your skin. The B.B. Cream that I used was created for oily skin so I saw no problems with breakouts but might have if the cream had been made for another skin type. 

Since receiving this product, I have truly enjoyed it. It is quick and easy to put on and really adds that extra kick in my step.  So if you are looking for a new product or just want to try out new creams and concealers, definitely add this one to your list!

Bzzagent Campaign Review: Quaker Up Snacks!

This week was spent putting my craft room back together. Trust me when I say it is a hefty job! What better way to enjoy my quick breaks than to enjoy a tasty snack. I am definitely a choco-holic, so when bzzagent gave me the opportunity to try Quaker brand's Quaker Up Snack line, I was definitely all in!

The bzzkit was absolutely amazing! Our kit was loaded with great snacks and fabulous coupons:


Our bzzkit included several fabulous coupons, our Quaker Up Bzzcampaign Guide full of interesting info, 1 box of Quaker Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies, 1 box of Quaker Big Chewy Chocolate Chip Granola Bars, and 1 Bag of Quaker Perfect Portions Oatmeal in yumtastic maple!

Who better to be my first taste tester than my wonderful assistant (and younger sister)! After all of her hard work helping me put the craft room back together, I figured she definitely deserved a treat.


She picked the Big Chewy Chocolate Chip Granola Bar as her reward and thoroughly enjoyed it! She loved the fact that the bars are definitely much larger than your average granola bar and are just really tasty! The bars have just the right balance of chocolate and oats and really do provide a quick boost of energy without hurting your tummy. This is definitely going to become a staple in our snack pantry!

I had my go at the chocolate chip cookies. I loved that they are made with whole grain oat flour which really adds a great taste to the cookies. I am also a huge sucker for bittersweet chocolate chips so that was another huge bonus.


So if you are looking for a new tasty treat to help wind down the day or just something to nibble on, I highly suggest trying out Quaker's line of snacks! You won't be disappointed!

Bzzagent Campaign: Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge Product Line

This was a wonderful two weeks of fabulous hair care products! Our last review discussed the Nexxus Hydra Light product line, and while their products are absolutely amazing, here is a similar line that is a bit more budget friendly.

As a Bzzagent, I have been given the wonderful pleasure of trying fantastic new products free of charge! I then get to review the products and share my opinions and and comments with you! So let us begin.

After unboxing my bzzcampaign kit, I was definitely pleased with my goodies! I received 1 8.5 FL oz tube of Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge 1-minute moisture plenish treatment, 1 13 FL oz bottle of Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge fortifying shampoo, and 1 13 FL oz bottle of Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge fortifying conditioner.



The specific line I was sent was aimed towards dry hair, so I was really excited to try it out as we are having our dry season here in southern Texas. Lotion, lip balm, and an army of quality hair care products are a must during this season.

The scent is amazing! The formula boasts superfruits of Goji Berry, Passion fruit, & Kiwi and they really blend well into this amazing fruity scent. The shampoo is infused with itty bitty little beads of goji berry, passion fruit, & kiwi which in turn burst and activate weightless moisture.

After trying this product, I was VERY pleased with the results. My hair was incredibly shiny and seemed more durable. I loved the moisture it left without leaving behind an oily residue which I have encountered in other Garnier products. This line definitely redeemed the company quality for me.

Another perk of the product line is the price tag with products available anywhere from $3.99 to $6.99. Definitely a great and affordable purchase.

_______________________________

Here are some wonderful facts straight from our leaders at Bzzagent.com:

Bzzagent Campaign Review: Nexxus Salon Hair Care Hydra-Light

It has definitely been a week of goodies! I received not one, but two fantastic Bzzagent campaign kits this week! Today I am going to go ahead and give my review of the Nexxus Salon Hair Care Hydra-Light Moisture line.


From left to right we have:  Nexxus Weightless Moisture Conditioner, Nexxus Weightless Moisture Shampoo, Nexxus Weightless Moisture Root Lift Mist, & Nexxus Weightless Moisture Leave in Conditioning Foam

Oh yes, all of that in one package makes me one very happy girl! First thing I noticed right out of the box was the scent! I love a good smelling shampoo and this one is divine! I began using the product line the very night I received it. I was incredibly pleased with the results. The shampoo provides a great lather and leaves my hair feeling silky and clean. I love that the conditioner doesn't leave a messy residue in my hair. Once my hair has gone from sopping wet to somewhat damp, I used the foam and mist. With as much as I was putting in my hair, I was amazed at how light it felt! The feeling lasted all day without my usual oily residue that I deal with midday. The product line definitely does what it says!

My only complaint is that the line is a bit pricey with a suggested retail price of $9.99 - $14.99 per product. However, if you have the money to spare, you will definitely be pleased.

So my verdict is, if you can afford it, it is definitely worth the purchase!

Bzzagent Campaign Review: MorningStar Farms Veggie Burgers

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a life long meat eater. I love chicken, pork, beef, fish, you name it! I was offered the wonderful opportunity from Bzzagent.com to try my first ever veggie burger.

I am not going to lie, while I was excited about trying and reviewing another fabulous product, I was a bit sketchy as I have never had a burger that hadn't previously "moo'd" in it's past life. This was a pretty big deal for me.

So my bzzkit arrived, and I received some wonderful coupons for MorningStar Farms Veggie Products. I decided to play it safe and chose to go with their Grillers Prime Patties.


After trying them, I gotta say they got me! They are beyond delicious. I know it is so hard to believe, but they really do taste just like beef! No joke! They are incredibly delicious! 

I served up our burgers sandwich style on toasted bread with lettuce, mozzarella, and  guacamole dressing and they were out of this world good! I am DEFINITELY going to be stocking up on these burgers this week. I found them locally on sale for about $2.67 for 4 veggie patties. I was amazed at how light they were to be honest. I am sadly so used to grease, that I was pleasantly surprised to be enjoying a nongreasy meal! 

They also cook incredibly fast, so be sure to keep an eye on them while cooking. They definitely cook a lot faster than your standard beef patty.

Each patty is approximately 170 calories with 39% less fat than ground beef.

Here is a video follow-up of our yummy Meatless Monday Meal! 


If you are looking for a new and fun recipe to try, fear not, Bzzagent has you covered:

Cheesy Black Bean Quesadilla Triangles

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 MorningStar Farms® Spicy Black Bean Veggie Burgers*
  • 1/2 cup salsa

Secure with toothpicks. Place on baking sheet, toothpick side up. Brush with butter. Bake at 375°F for 9 to 12 minutes or until beginning to brown on top.

Pinterest Test + Bzzagent Review = Awesome!

Alrighty, we are shaking things up a bit! We are not only reviewing Neutrogena's fabulous Norwegian Formula Hand Cream again, but we are also including a new Pinterest Test along with it! Let's begin!

Pinterest Test: Pink and Glitter Nail Design

Pinterest Link: http://pinterest.com/pin/26599454019396798/


Alrighty, so this one was an easy one lol. The design is simple and sophisticated and perfect for a romantic Valentine's Day getaway (hopefully the fiance will get the hint!)

For this test, I used what I had on hand which was similar to the photo provided in the pinterest test above. Here are my results:

I decided to go with a chunky lite glitter rather than full on metallic polish and love the results! I used Neutrogena's Norwegian Formula Hand Cream before and after my manicure. My hands feel soft and my nails look vibrant! This is a product I am definitely pleased with ;)

This wonderful creams story started off the coast of Norway, where fishermen were suffering the effects of life on the open ocean. Wind, cold and water were wreaking havoc on their skin.
Those fishermen developed a glycerin-rich cream to weather any storm. When applied to their skin, they found it relieved years' worth of chapping, cracking and drying caused by the harshest conditions on the planet. 


My hands have benefited greatly from this cream and so can yours! It is definitely worth purchasing. 

To go along with today's review, I have created new video of my nail transformation for you to enjoy :) The fabulous music being played in the back was actually written and recorded by my sister's fiance, Abraham Martinez. He is definitely a talented individual. Enjoy!

Bzzagent Campaigns: Kellogg's Crunchy Nut Cereal - Roasted Nut and Honey O's

Who didn't love a big ol' bowl of cereal and milk while watching Saturday morning cartoons? Better yet, let's be honest, how many of us still do?! Sometimes, nothing beats a moment of nostalgia with my colorful cereal bowl, my favorite cereal, and some ice cold milk.

Bzzagent has done it yet again! I was given the yumtastic (that's a word right? lol) opportunity to try Kellogg's Crunchy Nut Cereal. I was sent a scrumptious bzzkit with my very own box of cereal completely free:



Mornings are hectic in our household, so cereal is a go-to meal in the mornings. I have always been a honey nut cheerios kind of girl, so this flavor really was right up my alley. The taste is absolutely amazing. It is sweet and crunchy and all kinds of yum. I love how each little o was crunchy till the last bite! No soggy cereal here, just honey roasted goodness in every bite. I ended up packing some in a baggie which turned into the perfect midday snack later!

I have already given out a few samples of this product along with my own short and simple survey. The results were:

Likes: great taste, stayed crunchy, makes a great snack

Dislikes: one individual felt the box was a little small compared to other brands.

Comments: A few people would love to see other flavors such as banana nut and apple cinnamon.

Another thing I really liked about this cereal was that for the most part I actually understand the ingredients:

Degerminated yellow corn meal, sugar, corn bran, peanuts, honey, contains 2% or less of molasses, salt, whole grain oat flour, caramel color, baking soda, annatto color, BHT for freshness, wheat starch, natural flavor (contains pecan, walnut and almond).


Nutrition Facts

Overall, this cereal has been a hit with everyone I have encountered. It is definitely a product that we will be purchasing more of in our household.

Bzzagent Campaign Review: Redbox Instant by Verizon

A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try Redbox Instant by Verizon. I had heard so much about it and how it was going to topple streaming giant Netflix that I was off the walls excited. I have to admit, I had been disappointed with the quality, site bugs, and selection at first and gave it a negative review. 

I might have been a little hasty with my previous review of this service. After waiting about a week, I decided to give it another go. We used Redbox instant over the new year as I really wanted to give others a view of the site rather than just relying on my poor opinion. Here are some of our pus ratings we found. First, we liked the fact that we could rent movies from home without having to brave the cold air, rain and heavy traffic that comes with new year's eve. The selection has really gotten much better since the site first opened. We also like that we can purchase movies directly from the website. Things that need to improve: While the selection is getting MUCH better, at almost the same price as Netflix, it isn't quite there yet, but as it is still new the site can only get better! There are still some issues with video lag that we encountered, but nothing too horrible. All in all, I really have to retract my previous negative review and give this site a thumbs up. It is going to take some time along with patience from their subscribers, but this could definitely turn into a very promising site.

Nail Polish Design Using Neutrogen s Hand Cream

Here it is! My very first youtube video. lol this may not be the very best video, but it is all mine. It is 2013 and it is time for some fun and flirty nails. After painting my nails a fabulous Big Apple Red, I topped my hands of with Neutrogena's Norwegian Formula hand cream and they have never felt better!
This wonderful creams story started off the coast of Norway, where fishermen were suffering the effects of life on the open ocean. Wind, cold and water were wreaking havoc on their skin.

Bzzcampaign Review: Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula® Hand Cream

Don't you just love how the cold and dry winter air loves to wreak havoc on your skin? No? I don't blame you! My skin is so dry and scaley during the winter I feel as If I should go outside and sunbathe on a rock like our local lizards do!

Luckily for me, Bzzagent has once again saved the day! I was fortunate enough to participate in Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula® Hand Cream bzzcampaign. I have tried every lotion and miracle fix you can think and nothing ever works. If it doesn't completely avoid moisterizing my skin, it leaves a yucky oily residue instead. However, Neutrogena's hand cream has saved the day!



This wonderful creams story started off the coast of Norway, where fishermen were suffering the effects of life on the open ocean. Wind, cold and water were wreaking havoc on their skin.

Those fishermen developed a glycerin-rich cream to weather any storm. When applied to their skin, they found it relieved years' worth of chapping, cracking and drying caused by the harshest conditions on the planet.

Seriously, a round of applause goes out to the creators because this stuff is amazing! My dry skin is now lovingly moisturized and feels so incredibly soft! I love that they provided both samples of the original scent and the unscented. I prefer the fragrance free, but they are both fantastic!

Why should you consider switching lotions? Here is the "Just the Facts" portion from my incredibly helpful Bzzcampaign guide:

Just the Facts

When it comes to protecting hands from the rigors of daily use, Norwegian Formula® Hand Cream is the first choice of fishermen and manicurists alike. What makes this Neutrogena classic better than the rest?
  • Just one dab repairs 7 signs of damage: dryness, chapping, splitting nails, dry cuticles, scaliness and roughness
  • 2012 Good Housekeeping Seal award winner
  • First hand cream to heal with concentrated glycerin
  • Keeps Manicured hands looking beautiful
  • Long-lasting
  • Glycerin-rich
  • Concentrated
  • 2oz product good for 200 uses
  • Available in Original and Fragrance-Free
  • Suggested retail price of $4.99 per 2oz product
The product is definitely worth every penny and worth the time to try it!

Bzzcampaign Review: COVERGIRL'S BlastFlipStick Lip Shades

Well, we are finally enjoying the holiday season and with that comes our holiday pictures. My fiance and I always try to take one good photo for the holidays that we can cherish ...(more like laugh at) ...years from now :P.

I can never get my makeup right in these photos and I always end up laughing about it later. This year, I have had some help from the wonderful folks at www.bzzagent.com and CoverGirl!



As a Bzzagent, I was given the wonderful opportunity to try three wonderful shades from Covergirl's new line of Blastflipstick lip shades!


The name is a mouthful, but the product really is amazing. I was able to try out Vixen, Stunner, and Minx.

I love the fact that it really is almost two lipsticks in one, but it is the layering effect that makes this product unique. If you were already laying lipsticks before, this will help you save room in your makeup bag by carrying one lipstick in stead of two or three. One side is a lovely flat color while the other has a pearly shine to it. Above is a chart with the colors so you can find one that suits you or you can visit: http://www.covergirl.com/blastflipstick to learn more!

My only complaint is that I wish the pearly side wasn't as bold. I would have liked it to be more of a gloss, but that is my own personal preference and really doesn't take anything away from this product as it really is simply amazing.

The Blastflipstick retails for approximately $8.49 which may seem a bit high for some, but when you really look at it you are buying two lip colors at about $4.25 a piece which is a great deal.

So, if you are you looking into a new lip color to play with or if you just want to try something new, you really should give this one a go

Bzzcampaign Review: Unreal Candy: Unjunk Your Candy!

Who doesn't love a little bit of chocolate every now and then? Well, I am one of those that like it a little bit more often than that! So, when I heard I had been selected to try out Unreal Candy's unjunked line of candy bars, I was ecstatic!

Then I found out they were healthier versions and my bubble popped just a bit, but I decided to give them a try anyway! First, I headed over to my local Walgreens ... they didn't have it. My second try was more successful ;) I purchased The Unreal 5 Chocolate Caramel Nougat Bar unjunked, and I redeemed a coupon for a Unreal 8 Chocolate Caramel Peanut Nougat Bar unjunked. I then proceeded to head home with my chocolatey loot!

Once I arrived home, I checked my mail and saw that an issue of STAR Magazine had arrived. I typically don't read it and I donate them to my dentist's office, but today I sat down and skimmed through the pages. What do I find on page 24 of this weeks issue?

I was just kind of shocked that after I had just purchased the candy bars myself, the bars were featured in the weekly picks of the magazine! I went over the packages and started reading the labels and skimmed over the nutritional value:


And now for the best part ... the taste test! These bars are absolutely amazing! My fiance has very sensitive teeth and is often unable to partake in many chocolatey sweets as they end up hurting his teeth. He thoroughly enjoyed his Chocolate Caramel Nougat Bar! The sweetness was definitely there, but not in an "omg my teeth are going to rot out!" kinda way. I enjoyed the Chocolate Caramel Peanut Nougat Bar. I am not going to lie, I am a die hard Snickers fan and I am switching! These bars are absolutely amazing and VERY affordable (I purchased mine for 88 cents using my CVS card which was given to me free at purchase).

So if you have been thinking about trying these bars, DO IT! You definitely won't regret it :)

Bzzagent Campaign: Glade Expressions Collection

I am just going to start off by saying WOW! I have tried many air fresheners. I have tried diffusers, sprays, neutralizers, scented oils, candles... the list can go on and on. You name, chances are I have tried it. I am not going to lie, I was VERY skeptical when I heard I would be trying Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist and Oil Diffuser.



I received my coupons in the mail and headed out to my local walmart to view the selection. I decided upon the Pineapple & Mangosteen scents for both my fragrance mist and my oil diffuser.


I set up my oil diffuser which was quick and painless. NO muss whatsoever, you just snap everything into place. I was amazed at how wonderful the set was! I kept telling myself "eh the scent will die down after an hour and I won't even know I have it anymore". WOW was I wrong! A few days later, and the diffuser is still as fragrant as ever! It just smells so absolutely delicious! We have two small dogs in the house and you would never be able to tell! The scent is amazing and the holder itself is quite pretty and blends in nicely with the decor.

The spray is also absolutely wonderful! I tend to run a quick spritz in each room after returning home after a long day and the scent just really sets a relaxing atmosphere. Both the spray and diffuser are also very affordable and pay for themselves! When you think of how quickly you go through those $1 sprays, the value just isn't really there. After receiving my kit, I have not had to run to the store for a quick fix fragrance!

So, for those looking to try something new, or are just frustrated with your own go-to scents, I really do highly recommend the Glade Expressions collection. I know I wasn't disappointed!
