GREEN MOUNTAIN COFFEE® FAIR TRADE CERTIFIED™ BzzCampaign

First things first, let me explain what Fair Trade Certified means, because if you were like me you probably don't know. Fair Trade Certified means "farmers get a fair price for their beans with a guaranteed minimum, which means they can invest in their crops, their communities, and their future."(http://www.choosefairtrade.com/fair-trade-story)

How? Well, Fair Trade supports farmers by:

- Ensuring a fair price for their harvest

- Providing access to consumer markets, cutting out unnecessary middlemen

- Helping farmers gain affordable access to credit

- Promoting sustainable farming practices

- Supporting community development such as roads and schools

Now since you have a little background on Fair Trade lets talk about this BzzCampaign. Kelly Clarkson was a big part of this campaign in which she traveled all the way to Peru to learn all the good Fair Trade does. We each received a brochure detailing her trip. Inside we see her experiences like picking coffee cherries, coffee bean selection, and even taste testing as well. She was very involved and so was the community there. There are many benefits of Fair Trade. One example is that it supports kids' education and in my opinion that is pretty important. Children are our future, therefore our future is benefiting from Fair Trade as well.

In my opinion this is all just amazing, but the BzzCampaign got better. We received free coffee* as well!

Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge Review

First off, when I get amazing products like this I really love being a BzzAgent! I had the opportunity to try out this hair care system and I just fell in love with it. It is absolutely amazing! Earlier I had posted about getting into this campaign. If you read my post you will notice this next bit of information.

These are just the facts from BzzAgents campaign page.

• Keeps hair weightlessly silky for up to two days

After reading those I can tell you that they are all true! It made my dry hair feel amazing. It was really silky and weightless, which I thought was a hoax, but it definitely isn't! The beads in the shampoo are really nice. They feel good on your head and burst as you lather your shampoo. The smell of this is amazing! I can't get enough of it. I love that it stays in your hair even after styling. The conditioner makes my hair silky and really weightless. I couldn't believe how amazing my hair felt and how shiny and hydrated it was. Usually, my hair ends up weighted down by conditioners, but now with this at all. The Moisture-Plenish Treatment really did my hair some good! It really made a huge difference in just one minute! I couldn't believe it. I can't brag about this hair care system enough!

Everyone needs to try this out!

Let me know if you tried this and if you loved it or not.

Ugh, Something I Really Dislike

So, my favorite kind of video to watch is “Get Ready With Me” ones and the thing that really bothers me is when someone speeds up their video so much I can hardly tell what the hell is happening. Now what is the point in doing all that recording if you’re going to speed it up faster than light? I just don’t understand. I want to enjoy it not have to back up because I blinked and your foundation was already on your face and eyebrows, too! Sheesh!

 

Does anyone else have any peeves like this?

Redbox Instant by Verizon BzzCampaign Update

So far I haven't been able to get this to work on any platform I try. It doesn't work on any browser on my computer and it doesn't work on my phone either. I talked to the help center at Redbox Instant and they sent me an email with a bunch of steps to fix the problem and it was unsuccessful.

That is what the site looks like for me. Also, when I click on a movie it doesn't play.

 I'm about to just give up because this is seriously frustrating and seems hopeless.

Are you having problems?

Redbox Instant by Verizon BzzCampaign

Today I got into the Redbox Instant by Verizon BzzCampaign. I was excited about this and really wanted a chance to check it out. So far, the site seems very glitchy (no pictures are loading or anything). It could be because of traffic right now. I'm going to give it a while and try again in a few hours.

Did you get into this BzzCampaign?

Is the site acting up for you?

Norwegian Formula® Hand Cream

 "Norwegian Formula® Hand Cream has been the best weapon in the fight against damaged skin for 40 years. But Norwegian Formula® has become more than a tool for elements-exposed fishermen — it can extend the life of manicures, too. Applying even small amounts of this hyper concentrated, glycerin-rich cream to hands, nails and lips can undo seasons of damage to weary skin and improve the look and feel of nails. In fact, Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula® Hand Cream has proven so effective at repairing and protecting skin that it earned a 2012 Good Housekeeping Seal." -BzzAgent

I received the Norwegian Formula® Hand Cream from BzzAgent a couple of days ago and it has made my hands feel wonderful! This hand cream is extremely concentrated so a little drop goes a long way. In my BzzKit I received a full size unscented hand cream and 6 small tubes of the original. I really like the smell of the original hand cream, however, if you are allergic to fragrances the unscented works exactly the same.

Look how thick the formula is!

It feels amazing on your skin. You can also use this on your dry chapped lips!

So in the spirit of healthy hands I'm going to share a step-by-step guide for a great manicure!

First step:  You will need to prepare your nails for the treatment. Go ahead and use nail polish remover and cotton balls to remove any nail polish already on your nails. After that wash your hands in warm, soapy water and pat dry.

Step two: Now you want to shape your nails, either square or rounded edges, I prefer round edges whenever I have natural nails. Use nail clippers to take away excess and make your nails shorter, then file the edges smooth. You want to move across the nail in a fluid motion not a sawing back and forth motion. The sawing motion can weaken nails, be gentle for better end results.

Step three: You will want to soak your hands in a bowl of warm water with a drop or soap or nail cream in it for about five minutes. This will soften your cuticles and moisturize the nails for the new steps. After fice minutes pat them dry.

Step four: Place a drop of cuticle cream onto each nail and rub it in. This is where I use some of Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula® Hand Cream (a tiny bit on each nail). Using a cuticle stick, gently push back your cuticles. Don't cut the cuticles, as this can lead to infection.

Step five: Now you are going to rinse you hands in warm, soapy water and dry gently, then apply the hand lotion, I use Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula® Hand Cream. Rub it into the hands, fingers, and the nails. and let it absorb in.

Tada, now you are ready to start painting your nails! I prefer my nails bare, but you can paint yours any way you'd like to.

I  hope you enjoy this step-by-step guide.

Have you tried Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula® Hand Cream?
