Orowheat Health-full Bread® Review

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 03:33:00 +0000

The best perk of being a bzzagent is discovering new products! And this particular product to try was right up my alley because my new year's resolution was to eat right and exercise. I've learned to read labels and be aware of my caloric intake (with the help of myfitnesspal) so that I don't go over my daily amount (3500cal/wk or 500cal/day over daily amount = 1lb gained/wk). Most of the breads available are usually high on calories with little or no added benefits. With Orowheat Health-full breads, it's 80cal/slice, 4-5g of fiber, 5g of protein with no artificial colors/flavors/preservatives!

Luckily, Randall's had a buy-one-get-one free promo that I combined with bzzagent's coupon for a free loaf that I ended up with two to try and enjoy :) The breads are soft, full of texture and tasted good. It's healthy, but doesn't have the bland/lack of flavor that healthy foods tend to have at times. It held up even the soggiest ingredients and stayed fresh throughout the week.

Open-face Egg Sandwhich

-1 toasted slice of Oroweat Health-full 10 grain

-2 eggs

-green onion

-salt and pepper to taste

Check out loveyourbread.com/recipes for more ideas!

The variations are endless! Eating healthy doesn't mean you have to sacrifice flavor or settle for high calories. I highly recommend giving Orowheat Health-full bread a try. It may be a little more pricey than the others, but it's worth the price for it's quality.

Disclosure: All opinions are my own. I am a bzzagent and was provided a coupon for a free loaf for review purposes only.

Spring is here...

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 12:48:00 +0000

Spring is here... it's time for the spring breaks... filing taxes... and spring cleaning...

If you're drowning in paper [like me] that contains personal information that you have to trash, I suggest investing in a shredder like the Fellowes P-12C to use. The Fellowes P-12C is affordable ($89.99 at Target!), durable (shreds credit cards & paper clips!) and innovative (SafeSense technology).

From 2008-2009, 11 million Americans (1:20) was a victim of identity theft^Source. To guarantee your data-sensitive papers, the P-12C features Cross-Cut technology, which shreds a single sheet of paper approximately in 399 pieces! The P-12C is slim to fit in any office/home and safe with it's patented SafeSense technology that disables the shredder when it detects hands/large pets too close to the opening.

Spring Cleaning Tips to Protect from Identity Theft

The Identity Theft Resource Center recommends their Top 5 Tips for spring cleaning the home office:

Begin with the Basics: Sort through the piles of paperwork on your desk and in your office drawers. Place them into two categories: ‘save’ and ‘shred.’

Proper Storage: Organize the "save" pile into labeled folders and be sure to put anything confidential into a fire-proof lock box. The "shred" pile should be properly disposed of with a Cross-Cut shredder, such as a Fellowes P-12C.

Cross-Cut technology is an important feature for a shredder because it provides high security, destroying confidential information into unidentifiable pieces. Equally important are enhanced safety features, such as Fellowes' SafeSense technology, which shuts the machine down when hands come too close to the paper opening, which is so important if you have children.

Get a Digital Makeover: Refresh your home office computer by deleting files you no longer use and backing-up important data onto an external hard drive. Clean out your inbox and change all passwords. Refreshing your computer is a good practice to follow throughout the year as well.

Make Life Easier: Plan ahead by purchasing organizational tools for your desk, such as computer risers or file folder holders. This will help clear clutter from your desk top while keeping things within arms reach.

Freshen Up: Get rid of dust and germs that easily build up on office equipment such as keyboards, telephones and cabinets. You'll feel instantly more productive with a clean workspace.

Add PlayStation®Move to Your Family Game Night

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 19:00:00 +0000

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of PlayStation MOVE. All opinions are 100% mine.

I wish I found a magic lamp with a genie in it so I could wish for a PlayStation® Move! With the PlayStation® Move, my family will have more fun while getting the heart pumping. Our family game nights won't be about sitting still anymore, but more like working out instead. There is always sibling rivalries between my siblings and I, and this is a good outlet to challenge them and show off who has the best gaming skills. The PlayStation® Move is also great for entertaining guests, parties and challenging friends/other players over the internet. A girl can always wish, but I know I won't find a magic lamp, so The PlayStation® Move bundle package is only $99 to bring the fun motion gaming to my existing PlayStation® 3.

When I looked up the available games to play with the PlayStation® Move, there are so many to choose from! Here are a couple of my favorites:

Sports Champions: Great for the competitive, sporty, athletic fans. It's a good game to play to get the blood and body moving. There are 6 sport games, 10 athletes, 3 gameplay modes and modern/medieval to choose from.

Dance Dance Revolution: For the dancers and party-goers, this game has the latest hits to dance and play to. I remember going to the arcades (and friends' homes) just to play the earlier versions of this game. Unlike the older versions, Playstation® Move will integrate the hand motions in addition to the footwork.

Little Big Planet 2: After playing the critically acclaimed Little Big Planet, the fun must continue by playing Little Big Planet 2! I had the cutest Sack~~boy~~girl with so many outfits to choose from. Even after I finished the game, there was still so much to do because there are more than 3 million levels created by users to play. The good news is, the levels are going to carry-over to Little Big Planet 2.

Time Crisis: Razing Storm: I am not the best at shooting games, but I sure love to play them. I always play the latest Time Crisis (with my boyfriend as my sidekick, hehehe) when I am at the arcades. My downfall though is I use a lot of credit, but barely beat the levels :( At least with Time Crisis: Razing Storm, I can play at the comfort of my own home and practice my shooting skills without spending credits :)

Waiting patiently, yay!

BH Cosmetics

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 07:11:00 +0000

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of BH Cosmetics. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love makeup. Ever since I learned how to do makeup (with the help of YouTube), I've started my quest on finding radiant eyeshadows for affordable, wholesale-like prices! And that's when I found out about BH Cosmetics. BH Cosmetics are affordable, highly pigmented and stays on strong. During these difficult economic times (and also being unemployed), I need makeup that's bang-for-my-buck, helps me save and not break my bank.

BH Cosmetics has a 120 Color Palette that I simply adore. With BH Cosmetics' 120 Color Palette, it can create all my routine looks in one convenient palette! It's portable and has all the eyeshadows I would ever need when I'm traveling. The possibilities are endless as I keep discovering how many looks I can create with just one palette. I love that my makeup will compliment my outfits and create looks that make me feel confident and beautiful. BH Cosmetics' eyeshadows are light and soft at the same time long lasting. This is perfect for my day to night makeup looks without the embarrassment of ruining or disappearing.

If you are in a budget, but are looking for makeup that will productebeautiful results, I recommend trying BH Cosmetics. Check out one of their easy video tutorials below.

Reboost with Boost Mobile!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 17:58:00 +0000

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boost Mobile. All opinions are 100% mine.

Boost Mobile is a no-contract wireless company offering dependable nationwide services. They're flexible as they have the option to pay as you go by day or month. You can cancel anytime and not have to pay any fees for breaking a contract (cause there is not contract *smiles*). You can Re-Boost your plan online, in person or by phone. You can set-up automatic payments or save your debit/credit card for future payments. I admit, I have slipped up and forgotten to pay some bills because I did not have it automatically set-up and it was such a hassle not having my information saved for future payments, so Re-Boost's options are very helpful. Boost Mobile has a variety of phones to choose from, including the popular smart phone, Blackberry. Everybody can afford a nice, new phone with their easy payments option available. How much easier can it get?

My favorite part is Boost Mobile phones are social media friendly. Everybody in this day of age stay connected by Facebook or Twitter. Boost Mobile phones make it possible to update your Facebook status or Twitter tweet. You will be current and updated with all your friends and family. I am not always home or by a computer, so most of my updates are by phone. It gives me the convenience of sharing anything with my social network at anytime and not after the point (like if I would have had to go home or find a computer later). Some of the most breaking news (and traffic/accidents in town) I found out first by Facebook or Twitter. Being updated in real time is amazing and connecting to Facebook is unlimited for just one price per month!

If your phone contract is about to end or you are shopping around for a new phone company, look into Boost Mobile and see if it's right for you.

Yayyy! 1/2 price games continues @ D&B!
